You couldn't apply it during Sabbath...Jesus was taken down at the ninth hour...Sabbath's beginning is just hours away.Burial spices would have been applied before the burial to aide in slowing down decomposing, preparation, etc.
Why apply it after 3 days? Seems like a contradiction in the tomb story...
Then you apply it before. Spices on a dead, rotting person serves zero purpose.You couldn't apply it during Sabbath...
You can still prepare the body.Jesus was taken down at the ninth hour...Sabbath's beginning is just hours away.
How does this answer the question of why spices would be applied to a dead body 3 days after death?You couldn't apply it during Sabbath...Jesus was taken down at the ninth hour...Sabbath's beginning is just hours away.
It doesn't. That's why it's a made-up story. Not only that, for tzniut reasons, women wouldn't apply spices to a male body.How does this answer the question of why spices would be applied to a dead body 3 days after death?
Where is the anointing of the bodies of the dead found in the Torah? Look and see if you can tell me. It isn't there.How does this answer the question of why spices would be applied to a dead body 3 days after death?
Prove it with scripture.It doesn't. That's why it's a made-up story. Not only that, for tzniut reasons, women wouldn't apply spices to a male body.
You can see aspects of it with married women covering their hair.Prove it with scripture.
Nope, it is what it is. For tzniut reasons, there's a belief that Mary Magdelen was actually married to Jesus and the reason she was applying the spices.You are more full of presumption and tradition than scripture here. Whatever you need to deride the Man, He was clearly more to his contemporaries than your derision allows.
As I said, you cannot prove it.You can see aspects of it with married women covering their hair.
Jewish law encompasses Deut 17:8-13, so what's been deemed by the Rabbis as necessary, is done.
That is a gnostic belief that is pure and utter Dan Brown nonsense. The gnostics that proposed the rumor are an enemy to all faith, including yours. Dan Brown pretty much covered their perverse deception in the DaVinci code.Nope, it is what it is. For tzniut reasons, there's a belief that Mary Magdelen was actually married to Jesus and the reason she was applying the spices.
I suggest that you are not culturally positioned to lend credibility to your theory. I'll go with the eyewitness accounts.But again, applying to a dead body makes zero sense after 3 days.
Scripture doesn't contain everything. The common practice was what I said.As I said, you cannot prove it.
The practice of the day. Calculus isn't in scripture either, and neither is the trinity. Prove it.It isn't scripture, only presumption.
Nope. These tzniut laws are practiced and part of Jewish law.That is a gnostic belief that is pure and utter Dan Brown nonsense. The gnostics that proposed the rumor are an enemy to all faith, including yours. Dan Brown pretty much covered their perverse deception in the DaVinci code.
Too bad. He has yet to fulfill the law of Kings, Deut 17:14-20, then.Jesus would never have married. He was already betrothed to a Bride, and He died on Her behalf.
It's evident you know nothing of Jewish culture and the customs of the time.I suggest that you are not culturally positioned to lend credibility to your theory. I'll go with the eyewitness accounts.
I do not know the ins and outs of all the burial traditions of the time. But Jujitzu's question remains -- WHY would someone go to apply spices THREE DAYS after the burial?Where is the anointing of the bodies of the dead found in the Torah? Look and see if you can tell me. It isn't there.
I'll show you where contact with the dead makes one unclean, and that on Shabbat Pesach, excluding them from the meal.
You're now making issue of that which isn't even Torah.
Simply put, you answered for me: I don't know the ins and outs of all the burial traditions of the time...and they fascinate me, but I've never pursued that study, even when I was in seminary.I do not know the ins and outs of all the burial traditions of the time. But Jujitzu's question remains -- WHY would someone go to apply spices THREE DAYS after the burial?
You couldn't apply it during Sabbath...Jesus was taken down at the ninth hour...Sabbath's beginning is just hours away.
That all makes sense.John says that Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus did go in and anoint the body before they shut the tomb.
There's no need to if it was previously done.Why would the women come to wrap the body when that had already been done? And...as you say...what exactly was "the Jewish burial custom?"
No, just before his burial. Afterwards is contradictory.That all makes sense.
Perhaps Jewjitzu would have liked them to spice up Jesus when He was still on the cross.
That's why the argument is immaterial. It isn't scripture.Scripture doesn't contain everything. The common practice was what I said.
Cite the practice with authoritative references. I wasn't aware that we were discussing either calculus or the trinity. I'll do the Trinity with you any time, since He's throughout the Tenakh.The practice of the day. Calculus isn't in scripture either, and neither is the trinity. Prove it.
You forgot what we were talking about. Jesus never married Mary of Magdala. Ever...It's just another ancient unbeliever's bunny trail.Nope. These tzniut laws are practiced and part of Jewish law.
Wahahaha....You're hilarious. Like Solomon fulfilled that law?Too bad. He has yet to fulfill the law of Kings, Deut 17:14-20, then.
Shared ignorance is a good thing. It's clear you're making stuff up to press "superior" authority that you don't have.It's evident you know nothing of Jewish culture and the customs of the time.
I'm glad you missed me.It's probably best for you to go on another 6 month hiatus.
No....it seem as if funeral rites were performed in haste by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. That is the body was annoited with only a mixture of myrrh and aloes.No, just before his burial. Afterwards is contradictory.
So this is a great question...I've asked for years, and waited for the answer. It would be nice if someone knew the customs of the day, and didn't just claim knowledge they don't have on the basis of their own pride in their lack thereof.There's no need to if it was previously done.
Then I don't have to share with you anything that isn't considered by you as scripture.That's why the argument is immaterial. It isn't scripture.
Why? You don't recognize anything outside of your scripture. So, there's no sense in showing you anything.And you know something of the common practices of the day? From what authority do you speak?
Cite the practice with authoritative references.
It shows how ridiculous the argument is to not acknowledge other sources of knowledge outside of scripture.I wasn't aware that we were discussing either calculus or the trinity.
Sure. Show me the term trinity anywhere in scripture?I'll do the Trinity with you any time, since He's throughout the Tenakh.
That's interesting. But the Talpiot tomb ossuarys show one for her, Jesus, and their son.You forgot what we were talking about. Jesus never married Mary of Magdala. Ever...It's just another ancient unbeliever's bunny trail.
Whether or not, the law still applies. Is Jesus going to fulfill it since heaven and earth are still here?Wahahaha....You're hilarious. Like Solomon fulfilled that law?
Solomon sat on the throne, Jesus didnt.Jesus did better than Solomon. No horses but another's donkey, humble and riding on it. No wives but a Bride-to-be. Shared ignorance is a good thing. It's clear you're making stuff up to press "superior" authority that you don't have.
Rotfl...I'm glad you missed me.
Once 3 days have past, there is no use in it.No....it seem as if funeral rites were performed in haste by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. That is the body was annoited with only a mixture of myrrh and aloes.
After the Sabbath had past the women came to finish the job of anointing and swathing him in a proper manner.
So, just how is that contradictory?
