@QuentTrabantino@cruzadavi@NoHolyScripture His Kingdom is here now. You’re just ignorant and have been deceived into following a counterfeit king. Repent and turn to the true King, Jesus Christ.
@QuentTrabantino@cruzadavi@NoHolyScripture It’s pretty clear you haven’t actually studied the subject deeply and are mostly repeating opinions from like minded people. Study the Scriptures and the historical context more carefully first.
The Bible wasn’t written as a single book called the Bible. It’s a collection of the very contemporary sources you’re asking for.
And if there were other authentic contemporary sources recognized by the early believers, they likely would’ve been included as well. Naturally, someone willing to write about witnessing His resurrection would’ve been a believer.
It depends on how you define “hell.” Sheol/Hades refers to the realm of the dead, not a place of eternal fiery torment.
Jesus did go to the realm of the dead, but He wasn’t suffering there. He told the thief on the cross, “today you will be with me in paradise.” At that time, the righteous went to a place of comfort within Hades referred to as Abraham’s bosom or paradise. So He could be in Hades and in paradise at the same time.
We do know He didn’t go to heaven during those three days, because after the resurrection He told Mary, “I have not yet ascended to My Father.”

It was a prophetic sign.
The tree represented Israel, mainly its religious leaders. They had the leaves (outward religion, structure and rituals) but no fruit. When Jesus inspected it, there was nothing of substance. So He curses it as an enacted judgment.
Jesus later tells the Jewish leaders the kingdom will be taken from them and given to a nation producing fruit. It was a transfer based on failure to produce.
When the disciples marveled at the withered tree, Jesus told them that with faith they could command “this mountain” to be cast into the sea. This was said while they were just outside Jerusalem, likely in view of Mount Zion.
This was another prophetic warning. Jerusalem (the mountain) would soon face judgment, and its people would be scattered among the nations (the sea).
Which happened in 70 AD.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 The amount of fallacies you’re committing is astonishing.
It’s accurate to what it’s describing. What’s inaccurate is your brain.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 There’s nothing unscientific about it.
You’re assuming the goal was a math formula. The goal was to give you what matters for use. The size and capacity.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 Because it’s a basin, not a math formula. They weren’t trying to prove pi.
You measure the outside for the size and the inside for what it holds. That naturally gives you two different reference points.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 Dude. You can figure it out when you take into account thickness and it being 2 circles. Why assume a mistake when it’s obvious it’s 2 circles.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 We can figure out the exact handbreadth with the math. The main point is that it’s 2 circles and there’s no pi mistake like you and mucus tried to claim.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 The outer diameter is given (10 cubits) and the inner circumference is given (30 cubits,) then the inner diameter is 9.55 cubits.
The difference between the outer and inner diameter is .44 cubits, which is .22 cubits per wall. That is 4 inches per side i.e a handbreadth.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 The fact that the thickness measurement is given, and that it aligns well when the other measurements are understood as two different circles. All that’s needed now is common sense. Which I know may be a lot to ask.
@OddBackgrowy@MucusMucous1 “Roughly” is irrelevant.
Your whole argument assumes there’s a pi mistake with one circle. The description clearly involves thickness, which means two different edges are being measured.
You’re just being disingenuous.
Hi Pineapple, I just saw this question.
Yes, it is.
1 Kings 7:26 and 2 Chronicles 4:5 both say the basin was a handbreadth thick (4 inches). The diameter and circumference are taken from different edges, not the same circle. No Pi mistakes.
I recommend studying Scripture before arguing there are mistakes in it.
