Because the women, as well as Peter and John, went to the tomb early on the first day of the week. For example: “Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.” (Mr 16:9 NKJV)

How so? Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night - three nights. By the morning of the first day of the week (our Sunday) the tomb was empty and Jesus had risen from the dead.

How can Sunday evening be earlier than Sunday evening? I know the Jews marked the beginning of the new day at 6PM on what to us was the previous day, but your words seemed to suggest that you were using the usual western timings. You wrote: "We're not used to thinking the day starts in the...

Yes, we are not told when the resurrection actually took place, but it cannot have been on Sunday evening as you said, because the tomb was already empty early on Sunday morning, when John, Peter, and the women visited the sepulchre.

Paternal just means of the Father. Christians are children of God, for we are told: “14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba...

Definitely not. Apart from anything else, the bible tells us this about Jesus Christ: “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as [we are, yet] without sin.” (Heb 4:15 NKJV) So Jesus was tempted in all points, yet He did not...

I agree with what you have said about the high sabbath which was in addition to the weekly sabbath, but not with this: "Buried Weds 5:59PM; Thurs 6PM to Fri 5:59 PM, one day/night; Fri 6PM to Sat 5:59PM, one day/night; Sat 6PM to Sun 5:59PM, one day/night; resurrected Sun 6PM, 3 days/nights"...

What I would say is that the bible does teach that Jesus Christ is eternal. For example, John 1:1-3 says: “1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was...

I have spent too long answering your posts. I have therefore put you on "ignore" for the moment.

I don't believe all the things you post here, no. I do believe what the bible says.

You do not know me. We have never met.

I don't claim any wisdom of my own.

But you must know the posters here personally to be able to make the claim that they are children of the devil.

Where have I said that anyone else is my source of truth? I believe God's inspired word and all that it says about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Perhaps you have, although it sounds arrogant for you to say so.

How do you know what my motives are when I post here? How do you know that my humility is only outward? You do not even know me.

Well, my post agreed that there were some people in the world who claim to be Christians but are not. I also said that I don't know whether there are any members of Christian Chat who claim to be Christians but are not. Your reply was about what the Holy Spirit knows about Himself. Don't you...

I am sorry if you think my attitude towards you has been in any way bad. That certainly was not intentional. Just because I disagree with some of the things you post, that doesn't mean I am being hateful towards you. I apologise if I have given you that impression.

The Spirit of God is Spirit. And yes, He know Himself. But How does that answer what I posted?

God knows and sees all I do, say, think and write. But when I post a message, as I am doing now, I am addressing other posters. They are my "audience."
