    I have never heard of this church or this pastor. I stumbled here cuz im studying Nehemiah 9 and looking for additional insight. This pastor is a really good preacher and minister of the Word. Very worth tuning in this channel again.

    In my opinion John 19 42 seems to indicate that the unused tomb was a temporary burial spot for Jesus, not his ultimate resting place. It is said to have been located at the crucifiction site and due to the start of Passover being close at hand, they put the body in this unused tomb that was nearby. I dont believe that Jesus would have been buried permanently at that location, nor do I believe that Joseph would have owned a tomb at that location either. Family tombs were traditionally on the land of the person or persons and not in a public space. , . In those times, once the sun set, that would be the start of the following day which was Passover. Once Passover begins, no one is permitted to do much of anything, much less prepare a body for burial. It seems that they were short on time and did not have enough time to complete a full burial process that was customary for Jews, including cleaning of the body, annointing with various things, and wrapping. I think this is exactly why Mary, or the two Marys or the group of ladies, depending on which gospel you subsribe to, were headed back to the tomb Sunday morning with spices to annoint the body. Why woukd tgey be opening up a tomb and messing with a 3 day dead body if it had already been completely processed as per custom for final burial.

    So true when we stand as judge over each other ... it often divides. ... n we get smug n put some people off ... we drive them away. People are attracted to humility n not our smugness but often the human nature wants to display smugness so tt heads turn to focus on us rather than draw people to know God better. Only God is the perfect one who loves perfectly and judges perfectly without prejudice.

    an excellent example of "my source is, i made it the fuck up." shit like that doesn't fly in science. We can answer why for many things. Some things we can't but we don't pretend like we do know, unlike religions which are made up by some weirdos who were hungry and ate some shrooms in the forest that made them trip balls and think they saw god.

    that's so stupid. WHY do you need a why? you create your meaning and purpose through action. it's so immature to think that the only reason to have purpose, morals and be kind is because some dumb, poorly worded book that delusional humans wrote told you so. time to grow up and leave the fairy tales to children...
