: "You have been shown repeatedly the shortcomings of your theory with evidence of which you somehow have invoked selective memory."
: "It is your interpretive approach that is haunting you. It is obvious that you have determined that Yahushua should have been resurrected on the Sabbath. You then proceeded to interpret the 70 Weeks of Daniel to a particular conclusion that somehow would not be in conflict with your theory. Then along with locating other source material including astronomical data, you have reworked the numbers to fit."
: "and not just concentrate on selective source material to back up your assumed conclusions."
: "All the interpretive and wishful thinking in the world ..."

Daniel,
My comments are observations from the ongoing dialog between you, myself and others on the forum.
I am merely trying to get to the truth of the matters at hand.
Isaiah 1:18 Come, let us reason together says Yahweh...
1Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Daniel, you have put yourself in the place of a teacher and have said so much in your previous posts. Therefore more is expected of you.
Luke 12:48 Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required. . .
Matt. 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
1Peter 3:15 But sanctify Yahweh eloahi in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
If you are a teacher you must be ready to provide answers that can be proved and which are based upon evidence.
While I view my comments and questions as demanding, you have interpreted them as abusive.
You must recognize that as long as you continue to represent the truth when making statements concerning Scriptures, people are going to ask questions of you. According to the Scriptures you should be ready to provide the answers with the necessary proof.
If you believe my questions and comments are abusive, lawless and slanderous I cannot help you in your thinking. To set the record straight, I merely want to know how you have come to your conclusions with the appropriate evidence.
If there is another way then just let me know.
