Gatekeepers of the Truth & Their Kung Fu Theology Acts 20:7 - Does it really say "And upon the first day of the week.."? http://www.godrules.net/para2/act/paraecfact20-7.htm The Greek term is "sabbaton" G4521 - which means literally "seventh day of the week". Most western Greek Scholars (Protestant and Catholic) claim this means "first day of the week" due to one passage in one of the Gospels: Luke 18:12. https://www.apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=11&article;=2022 However, they are incorrect, because they do not understand that Pharisees had a common saying that refered to a law of fasting twice a year, in their law. The Pharisee in his prayer did not say "I fast twice a week", but rather was refering to a strict custom commonly known among the Pharisees, which is called the "two sabbath a year fast": https://books.google.com/books?id=IqBbAAAAMAAJ&pg;=PA112&lpg;=PA112&dq;=fast+twice+a+week+sabbath&source;=bl&ots;=wNsiZ8facj&sig;=TRc2Iy25DKEPqSB5eqYAG2jUysI&hl;=en&sa;=X&ei;=VdQ1VcjPIq7isATq8YCIBA&ved;=0CDkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q;=fast%20twice%20a%20week%20sabbath&f;=false John 3:16-17: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. http://www.godrules.net/para2/joh/paraecfjoh3-16.htm For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. http://www.godrules.net/para2/joh/paraecfjoh3-17.htm * The term "faith" means more than just "mental ascent". Faith in Christ is living and faithful. One who has faith in Christ will automatically produce works, due to the change they received from Christ, who makes them more than conquerors. * The term "might" is actually not present in the Greek on John 3:17. Interestingly, it makes you wonder, why it is written the way it is.. Who exactly is the world? Is it everyone? Or only those Jesus will save? Or is there more to this passage than meets the eye? Jude tells us to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." http://www.godrules.net/library/kjv/kjvjude1.htm Jude then goes on to quote the "Book of Enoch" and the "Assumption of Moses". Both texts not part of the 66 Books of the Bible. So Jude tells us to not forget such writings, yet has the Church listened? Can a text outside the 66 books be inspired? I believe so. I think there are degrees of inspiration and this is what many of the Early Church Fathers taught/believed. Jude says Enoch "prophesies". According to 2 Peter 1:20-21 - this means it is inspired by the Holy Spirit. http://biblehub.com/2_peter/1-20.htm http://biblehub.com/2_peter/1-21.htm Apologists arguing with God - Telling people that Enoch did not write the Book of Enoch: http://www.letusreason.org/Biblexp118.htm Many immorality terms have an idolatrous component to their definition which is for the most part ignored: http://www.godrules.net/articles/bibleterminology.htm#immorality Could such a thing be relevant? Very. Secret societies are the modern day continuation of the Mystery Religions. And these terms DIRECTLY were refering to the Mystery religions.
