Brother, thank you once again. Jesus as Israel in one man. What an enormous key. I wonder could you give some insight on why Jesus gave warning to Mary Magdalene not to cling to Him. Was that a ritual issue? And then his comment that He had not yet ascended or was ascending. Funny there is no explanation given in the text. Blessed Easter!
Craig, the issue is not that she is touching Jesus and violating any ritual law. John, in his first epistle, speaks of touching or handling the Word. And, of course, Thomas is invited to touch the wounds. The sense seems to be, in the bigger picture, something like this: "Mary, the time is soon coming when I will ascend to the Father. Then, you will no longer be able to touch me, see me physically as you have these past years. So you must stop clinging to that which will soon no longer be physically accessible to you." In that way, it dovetails with what Jesus tells Thomas, "Blessed are those who did not see, and have believed." Blessed Easter to you, too!
Corpses were not to be touched unless necessity required it, such as for a burial. Those who prepared the body were then rendered ritually impure until they could fulfill the requirements for cleansing. There were many aspects of life, such as seminal emissions and menstrual cycles, when people were made unclean. Thus, God provided the means of cleansing.
@@chadbird1517 thanks for your quick response! It makes sense that this were the case & that they would be considered ritually impure & remain so for the prescribed 7 days. I thought there may have been a different solution in this case. Thanks & peace!!!
I have a question about the 3 days and the way the Jews count the days. We celebrate Maundy Thursday as the day the Lord's Supper was instituted. But if that meal started after sundown then that day was Friday for the Jews, the same day that Jesus was crucified. Going back to Jonah, which pre-figures the resurection, Matthew 12:40 says Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish for three days and three nights. But Jesus as in the tomb just 2 nights, Friday and Saturday. Is there an idiom being employed rather than a literal three days and three nights?
Yes, Chad Bird has addressed that question in this article: www.1517.org/articles/was-jesus-in-the-grave-for-three-days-and-three-nights-avoiding-literalism-by-accepting-hebrew-idiom
You can rationalize it all you want but the Sabbath has never changed. You are simply following Catholic doctrine which is a mixture of pagan custom and christianity. I would encourage you to to look up the Catholic Catachisim where they the Catholic church arrogantly declares that they made the change from Saturday to Sunday because they are the final authority over the Bible. In addition they mock the Protestants for criticizing the "Holy C" while being obedient to the "Sunday Sabbath"
Hi Emerson. The change from Sabbath/Saturday worship to Sunday worship is evident already in the second century, in the writings of Justin Martyr (around AD 150). He says, in part, "On the day called Sunday all [believers] who live in cities or in the countryside gather together at one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the Prophets are read, as long as time permits." He goes on to describe more of the worship service. Then he adds this explanation: "Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having transformed the darkness and matter, created the world. And Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead," (First Apology 67:3-7). You can find the entire text in the Ante-Nicene Father, Volume 1. Far from being a later invention of the Catholic church, this was the practice -- if not already in the 1st century -- then certainly by the 2nd century.

@@redlightspellsdanger7177 ok just seems a little weird to be so preoccupied with something you don’t believe. I haven’t commented on a tooth fairy video in some time. Anywho, I’m sure there’s something that’s intriguing to you about Jesus might be worth exploring bud.

Many thanks, Chad.
Just curious, since it was forbidden to touch a dead body, how did the Hebrews deal with preparing the body for burial?

Protestant and Catholic believe same,yet they argued for centuries about the bible itself and the hatred's and persecutions of the jews.
