Lasers were invented by Adam but the dinosaurs hoarded them all when Noah didn't let them on the ark.

Mostly seminary

I had an identity crisis and realized I was focusing on the wrong details

Was being mentored for a doctorate- actually recruited personally by William Lane Craig over breakfast to go to Talbot when he found out I left NOBTS

This happens. I went through the same thing for a few years. Came out better off. Had too much TULIP in me.

Three things - by that point I was burned out on philosophy (still am), wanted to settle in LA, and I saw the price tag

Due to the corona lockdown I am starting to create content on youtube...videos, devotions and such and will be releasing my first "message to music" track

But I wont link it here because I know everyone will just trash it

(And I'll be starting a call in/interview podcast with local people -to learn everyday stories - soon I hope)

And just as the resurrection of Christ totally caught the enemy off guard 2000 years ago- so will the resolution of His Church do so again on Easter.

Maybe you can email bayoubengals1988@gmail.com so I can be privy to this podcast, or assist when needed. We go to FPCBR now. You probably know people there.

Also, my professor is Dr. James Anderson (RTS Charlotte). Perhaps you've run across his work in your studies.

Friend,

I would love to view it: tulanelsu@mail.com

Some people here hurl insults, but don't let those arrows harm you. Most here who try to harm with their words are insecure, uncultured street urchins whose minds are as adventurous as slugs and intellect as sharp as a marble.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

I plagiarized this (below). Your intent is good, sorry for my partial sarcasm earlier, but my true hope is that people understand what really happened. Remember, Mary didn't enter and see Jesus resurrect, in fact she entered into am empty tomb.

After the women rested on the regular weekly Sabbath, they went to Jesus’ tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday), “while it was still dark” (John 20:1), and found that He had already been resurrected (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:1-3).

When we consider the details in all four Gospel accounts, the picture is clear. Jesus was crucified and entombed late on Wednesday afternoon, just before a Sabbath began at sunset. However, that was a high-day Sabbath, lasting from Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset that week, rather than the regular weekly Sabbath, lasting from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

He remained in the tomb from Wednesday at sunset until Saturday at sunset, when He rose from the dead. While no one witnessed His resurrection (which took place inside a sealed tomb), it had to have happened near sunset on Saturday, three days and three nights after His body was entombed. It could not have happened on Sunday morning, because when Mary Magdalene came to the tomb that morning before sunrise, “while it was still dark,” she found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty.

We can be assured that the length of His entombment that Jesus gave as proof He was the Messiah was exactly as long as He foretold. Jesus rose precisely three days and three nights after He was placed in the tomb.

Because most people do not understand the biblical high days Jesus Christ and His followers kept, they fail to understand the chronological details so accurately preserved for us in the Gospels.

Ok I bookmarked it - the podcast is hopefully soon but I'm working two jobs right now and just had a 3rd kid a little over a week ago (first girl) so it may be pushed back a bit

Fair warning - I'm a sucky Christian

That’s awesome! I wish more were doing that. It’s nice to know someone is thinking about the health and safety of their congregation and not using faith and Jesus as a corona force filed.

1. Open YouTube.
2. Search "church service".
3. Boom. You just went to church, dipshit.

Some of you are so dense that maybe the rona hitting you isn't such a terrible thing.

Church buildings will be empty.

Empty as a particular tomb on a Sunday nearly 2,000 years ago.

Not a bad symbolism if you really think it through.
