It is now 09/10. On 10/10 I will be in BALI. Is there a spiritual significance to 10/10?

Re: 09-09-09
 

No, but there's got to be a spiritual significance to being in Bali!

LOL! I thought "talk like a pirate day" was just a joke.

There is none so wise as he who sees himself wiser than others.

You are correct. He stood in judgment early. This was the process of Him going to the cross. Then, darkness set in until the NINTH hour. I regret not making this clearer. It's clear that my post was too short to be considered as a scholarly thesis. However, I do think it's nice that you consider me a "scholar of Scripture." :thumbsup

Excuse me? Don't patronize me. I did not mis-read your post. You clearly said Jesus was crucified at the third hour of the day . Yet in John he was still in Pilate's court on the 6th hour. Which in Luke was also the start of the "time of darkness" which John missed altogether in his version. So I was asking you, since you claim to be a scholar, which was correct. Because the stories appear to contradict.

The point is, had you used the book of John, your story would have fallen a bit flat. The timeline does not match the other versions. And they are just versions aren't they..

Islamic folks need to stick to the Koran unless they do more research in the Bible before they critique the Bible.

About the sixth hour (hōs hektē). Roman time, about 6 a.m. (a little after 6 no doubt) when Pilate rendered his final decision. Mar_15:25 notes that it was the third hour (Jewish time), which is 9 a.m. Roman time, when the crucifixion began. Why should John give Jewish time writing at the close of the first century when Jerusalem and the Jewish state passed away in a.d. 70? He is writing for Greek and Roman readers.
