I also don’t observe the dietary restrictions of the Old Testament. They were commandments from God to the Jews: but we can eat what we want - as revealed by Christ.

Where?

How about here: Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person. (Matt. 15:10-11)

Do you wear clothes made from more than one type of fabric?

Of course.

The dietary laws were overturned in Acts. Jesus broke the Sabbath Laws by healing on the Sabbath and allowing his followers to pick grain on the Sabbath.

That is forbidden by the Law

Do you believe that Jesus was teaching about clean and unclean meats or about ceremonial washing?

In regards to your timing of the events, I generally agree. My only disagreement is with the day of his Resurrection. It happened on Sunday, not Saturday. This is confirmed by both the Old and New Testaments.

Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Wouldn't this be the case if Jesus was crucified on Fri and died at 3PM.

Fri day 3PM (day), Fri 6pm-12AM (Night)

Sat 12AM-6AM (night), Sat 6AM-6pm (day), Sat 6PM-12AM (night)

Sun 12AM-6PM (night), Sun 6AM-day RESURRECTION.

I know there is an overlap on Sat, but I do see the 3 days and 3 nights.

Did you check to make sure that the two types of fabric were not wool and linen?

I know this. But I’m curious as to why DouglasKC feels it necessary to beat people over the head with one part of Judaic law when I’m guessing he doesn’t follow all of it.

You're using modern time reckoning. Biblically a new "day" began at sunset. They didn't divide one day from another at 12 am. They did have "watches":

Luk 12:38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants

But these watches didn't divide days.

“Jesus’ resurrection could not have been
on a Sunday morning because John 20:1-2 shows that He had already risen before Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning, arriving “while it was still dark.””

It’s still dark at 5:30 am right now. Jesus could have risen at 5 am. I don’t see the discrepancy.

Certainly. There were specific reasons why God suggested to avoid certain blend proportions of wool and linen. It could have had to do the integrity of the mix (wool is animal and linen is plant) or it could have had to do with the climate at the time. But generally if God says not to do it's undoubtedly correct.

You wrote:

“I believe scripture. The book of Hebrews plainly tells us that for those under the new covenant Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient. Reference Hebrews, especially chapters 8, 9 and 10.”

So now you’re saying something different than mountn man did before?

Earlier mountn man said: “The Old Testament has the absolute same authority as the New Testament. It has the same authority as Christ own quoted words, because in essence they are Christs words.”

Now you’re saying: “The book of Hebrews plainly tells us that for those under the new covenant Christ’s sacrifice is sufficient.”

But my question and point remain. If, as mountn man insisted, the OT has the “absolute same authority as the New Testament”, then does that mean you believe in killing people for adultery and for being rape victims when raped in the city limits. Do you or don’t you?

Also, if Jesus observed animal sacrifices - and we are to do what He did as you are implying (”1Jn 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked”) then do you or do you not believe in sacrificing animals? Saying that Christ’s own sacrifice was sufficient doesn’t in itself mean that you are walking like Christ by NOT sacrificing animals.

I don't follow or adhere to Judaic law.

That’s what hatred of His Church does to some people I suppose.

I have observed Good Friday from 1 PM to 3 Pm for 70 plus years. I recall my mother and I praying the Rosary during that time. Today I was at Stations of the Cross and will continue to meditate and pray for another hour.

I have been watching and listening to E W T N - TV. I am sure the time people follow will be explained to us in the future.

Good Friday is the most soberest day of the year.

DouglasKC, it’s called the Commandment of Shatnez. You mean you’ve never heard of this?

See Deuteronomy 22:11.

I can’t believe you didn’t know about this.

I completely agree.

Would it make any difference if Jesus was crucified on Thursday and we recognized the significance of His sacrifice on Friday by mistake? I don't think so, it's the event that is important.
