Freedom to Marry Day Protest Planned

[fabshelly]

Sunday is the Christian Sabbath.

So, if you go into the Magic Kingdom and unload a machine gun into a bunch of CMs, it's not a sin, you're following God's commandments.

Um, I'll take my Christ over whatever the heck you think you're following.

You like this and you know it
Caution, It's so explosive
Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion
Baby come and get It
let me give you what you need
It's a special occasion
Mimi's emancipation
A cause for celebration
I aint gonna let nobody's drama bother me

Cuz it's my night
No stress, no fights
I'm leavin it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
I'm leavin it all behind

Everybody is livin it up
All of the fellas keep lookin at us
Me and my girls on the floor like what
While the dj keeps on spinnin the cuts

Like that yall, it's like that yall

Actually He didn't Rise from the Dead on a Sunday. It was a Saturday. And He wasn't crucified on a Friday, but that's a different thread for a different day

I'm no biblical scholar, but didn't Christ have to be buried before sundown (Friday) because no orthodox Jew can be buried on the Sabbath (Saturday).

And the 3rd day would be Sunday.

Or maybe I should've paid attention 40 years ago.

Does it make me a bad gay man if I have NO idea where that song is from? Because I've worked hard for my membership card and don't want to jeopardize that. AND I refuse to give back the Official Gay I-pod that was me welcome gift. You can have the eye cream and hair gel though. Too stinky for me.

Right, and they were set in such a way to make it easier for the Pagans to accept the new religion that was being forced down their throats by the government.

To be fair I think the leaders of the religion were pragmatic in adopting pagan festivals to piggyback on without any government pressure

It doesn't really matter, it all depends on which version of which story you believe in. If it's inconvenient for you at all, you can break away and form your own denomination anyway. Christianity is very flexible like that.

You are incorrect.

Mark 15

42 Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.

John 19

31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Mark 16
He Is Risen
1 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

Friday was the Day of Preparation, Saturday the Sabbath, & Sunday the first day of the week. Actually the Sabbath ran from dusk on Friday to dusk on Saturday (I think).

Right, they co-opted the religious ceremonies and festivals of the prevailing religion of the time in order to make to forced change easier for the masses to swallow. It was all very pragmatic and political, like the formation of any religion is, in the beginning.

The end is near: Jimmie and I agree on something.

No, but many see it as selfish perversion of an adjective. Which is just as bad.

And bigotry isn't a selfish perversion. Got it. Thanks for playing.

Whattaya mean "it doesn't matter". Obviously, you've never lived in the Holy Land.

The week that Jesus was crucified had three Sabbaths as there were two high holy days, Passover and the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Then of course there is the weekly sabbath.

Since Passover was Jesus' last supper, then it makes sense that the sabbath spoken of in the bible was the first day of the Feast, not the weekly sabbath (Saturday).

Also in the bible it states:

"But he [Jesus] answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matthew 12:39-40

So the half days do not fit the Bible.

Sorry to take this off course.

 

[fabshelly]

Christians celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday because that's the day our Lord rose from the grave.

So, it wasn't commanded by God, like Saturday was.

I know quite a few Christians who keep the Sabbath - Saturday, for them - Holy.

Wow... That's just rude. Please tell me where you got that from our discussion of what day of the week the Sabbath is on. I guess it's easier to be hateful than to have an adult discussion about sensitive issues. Unbelievable!

Rick, this may make me sound gayer than you are because I know the song ... but isn't it from Mariah Carey?

And to continue the OT direction this thread is going, it really doesn't matter because the whole story is lifted from earlier resurrection myths.



Now...can we get back to how this all relates to modern-day bigotry?

Never even been there. But you know, as a real estate agent, I would love to get a little piece of that action, you know what they say, "location, location, location!"

What a banner week. Yesterday, I learned about hominy. Earlier today, I learned what "divots" were. And now, I've learned that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to some biblical history.

Actually, it is on topic because it points out the absurdity of basing something so basic as equal human rights on a religion that contradicts itself and has so many different versions taken from every other major religion that came before it.
