There isn’t much difference between slaughter and laughter
(Copyright 03-04-2025) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) WAR IS RAW SPELLED BACKWARDS. – CD Borrowed: My advice to Volodymyr Zelenskyy comes from my dad: “Don’t read your own press and never drink your own tubwater.” Jim Croce said it best: “You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit in the wind, you don’t pull the mask off the Ol’ Lone Ranger . . . ” and you don’t mess around with Trump! YOU WOULD THINK that everyone would prefer peace, but that’s not the case. The following is from “Eisenhower in War and Peace,” by Jean Edward Smith: After the death of […]
“Between the Two Evenings”
(Copyright 2023) by Fellow Servants (Minneapolis, Minnesota) God accounts days to begin at sunset. Gen. 1:5 Lev. 23:4, “These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.” v. 5, “On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.” Important to remember when God accounts for days to begin. Do you begin keeping the Sabbath at noon-6 p.m.? Ex. 12:6, killing of the sheep/goats on the 14th at twilight (dusk). Between dusk and darkness is “between the 2 evenings”. Note: The sun is set (1st evening) but when dark (2nd evening). v. […]
Between the Evenings… The Legal Time to Slay the Passover
(Copyright 2014) by T. Alex Tennent (Seattle, Washington) Some of the confusion as to whether the Last Supper was the Passover or not comes from the English translations of the original Hebrew words meaning “between the evenings.” The Jewish sources are clear that this period—the time to slay the Passovers—was to be in the afternoon of the 14th day. However, many English translators and commentators, believing that Jesus ate the Passover at the Last Supper (and that he also died at the proper time for the Passover sacrifice), portray the period of “between the evenings” as either evening or […]
Between the Evenings
(Copyright) by Richard Douglas Mauck and Sandra Faye Mauck (Internet) 1.a. “Between the evenings” is an uncomfortable concept for those not familiar with Biblical time keeping. But it is wording used eleven times in the Old Testament as confirmed by the Masoretic Text (MT), Jay P. Green Sr.’s Interlinear Bible (TIB) and Robert Young’s Literal Translation (YLT). It is not used in two popular translations: The King James (KJV) and the New International Version (NIV). Even though it is absent in the KJV translation and the word even or evening is substituted this does not negate the fact that the […]
No Erosion Between Rock Layers!
(Copyright) by David Rives (Tennessee) You’ve probably heard the conventional story of how the rock layers formed. The most popular story is that rock layers form slowly over millions of years by the same geologic processes we see operating today. Weathering and erosion then produced hills, valleys, and the other topographical features we see today. But a quick trip into the Grand Canyon, perhaps the most spectacular place to view rock layers, shows this narrative can’t be right. If this old-age view is indeed a correct interpretation of the evidence, we’d expect to see weathering and erosion between rock layers. After […]
The Difference Between True Repentance and Temporary Regret
by Brenda Branson (Hanson, Kentucky) Copyright © 2004 In the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, there were two men who were sorry for their actions—Peter and Judas. Peter truly loved Jesus and boasted that he would even die for him if necessary. However, when Jesus was arrested and taken to the house of the high priest for a trial based on trumped-up charges, Peter’s resolve crumbled at the first taunt from a servant girl who recognized him as one of Jesus’ followers. Peter boasted a bit too loudly and trusted in his own strength to get him out […]
