You have yet to show where any of us has borne false witness against anyone. The thing is, OUR doctrine--in both the LCMS and the WELS church--is that Jesus Christ was crucified on Friday and died and was buried before sundown on that day, and rose again around sunrise Sunday morning.
So, no one is bearing false witness against anyone. That is all in your own mind. I still don't see what the big deal is with you and with what those two scholars wrote.
The thing is, one’s false witness (i.e.
not properly proven truth “according to the Scriptures” and
not according to the Lutheran Confessions' explanation of the eighth commandment) – in both the LCMS and the WELS church (i.e. Friday crucifixion) – is contrary to the historical calendar that Jesus and His disciples observed (i.e. 24 hour period – sunset to sunset reckoning), and also contrary to the “doctrine of Christ” (i.e. (John 4:24)) The devil is found in one’s details. (i.e. 100% deception – i.e.
pagan Good Friday worship
ritual – imposed upon the faithful saints in Christ Jesus by the Papacy and by Pontifex Maximus Caesar Constantine’s decree (Jude 1:4) (i.e. oral traditions of men on earth that “nullify” the word of God on earth – that “quench” the Spirit on earth – and that “despise” all of Messiah’s fulfilled “verbatim” Resurrection prophecies on earth – (i.e. Matthew 15:7-9), and contrary to the sound faith once for all delivered to the saints on earth (Jude 1:3) (i.e. the apostle to the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul, “never” authorized any such “pagan” worship on earth, nor did the Apostle Paul and his disciples, “practice” this “specific” false doctrine in worship practice on earth).
Go to the original post to see one’s error in teaching “… OUR doctrine--in both the LCMS and the WELS church--is that Jesus Christ was crucified on Friday …”.
(LCMS) doctrine – Jesus’ cross is positioned in the morning between (LCMS) doctrinal position (1) and (WELS) doctrinal position (2).
(WELS) doctrine – Jesus’ cross is positioned in the morning following (WELS) doctrinal position (2).
Conclusion: Either, the Friday that Bonnie refers to is a “48 hour” period of time that encompasses both, Nisan 14 and Nisan 15, or one is talking about two different crucifixions of Jesus. On what planet is that sound Christian doctrine, “according to the Scriptures”? (Psalm 31:18)
Good Scriptural wisdom for one to follow – (1 Timothy 2:11-12) (2 Peter 3:14-18) (i.e. don’t be led away by the error of the wicked false teachers, and by their false doctrine – i.e. instead, be steadfast in the Lord – steadfast in the “Truth” “according to the Scriptures” – (John 8:32) (Proverbs 12:22) (Ephesians 5:11-13))
