  (the first chapter of hebrews seems quite explicit on the issue).

  but since scriptural texts don't seem quite enough for my jdub kinfolks (wtf?

  ), i tried to find out where this poppycock idea first popped up.. .

  Ellen White came up with the idear that Jesus was Michael the angel at the time she wa an Arian. Ellen White changed her thinking about the turn of the 20th century and accepted the doctrine of the Trinity. Today Adventists beleive the doctrine of the trinity but still retain the doctrine that Jesus is Michael. Barry

  anyone know the current wt teachings on the length of time humans have been in existence?

  do they still teach that the first man and woman were created approximately 6,000 years ago?

  have they made any comments on archeological findings that show paleo-indians living in the america's 10,000+ years ago?

  In the 17 century Uusher calculated the earth was 6000 years old also in the same century Lightfoot caculated Adam was created at 9am on friday morning.

  The cronology when using the septuagent translation of the bible made the earth 1500 years older and was rejected. Barry

  The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

  we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

  apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

  Hebrews chapter 9 has our Lord entering the most holy place at the ascention. Look at the context in hebrews 9 everthing there is in refference to the day of atonement. 1844 or a two phase ministry of our Lord is not included here. Barry
