The correct wording is that were nail to the Cross. And as they were nailed they hung from the Cross indicating the Cross was lifter up in a vertical position to the ground. Like a man when he stands up, he stands in a vertical position to the ground. The Crosses standing 90 degree, making a 90 degree corner with the ground.

The point is that the girl Anesti and the boy Anesti and Jesus Anesti. The girl Anesti when Her Spirit returned and the same must have happened with the boy and Jesus Christ when their Spiritual self who is housed in the body returnes to the body the .non material with the naterial, the Eternal with the temporal and only if the material has life. if the material does not become alive and remains dead then what? They left the body because it died on them. if it was from a heart problem or an asphyxia problem or lost of Blood or sudden trauma... one thing is for sure a beheaded man was never raised up. And one of them was John the baptist and James the disciple. A simple reading it says that the boy was dead and became alive. And the same with the girl, she was dead and became alive. Gentile boy, Jewish girl and both before the Cross. One of the questions is: What was their inheritance after death. In a more simplify way what was the inheritance of the Gentiles after their death and the same for the people in the Sinai Covenant. What was their inheritance after death. Before the death of Jesus Christ. Because both events took place before the Cross. Luke 8:55 the girl Luke 8:55 Greek Study Bible (Apostolic / Interlinear) καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς καὶ ἀνέστη παραχρῆμα καὶ διέταξεν αὐτῇ δοθῆναι φαγεῖν.

Christos Anesti, Christ is risen. in Luke 8:55 the girl Anesti, is risen. And when? When her (pneuma in Greek) Spirit returned to her.

Psalm 23 it is as if it was written for Jesus Christ. Not exactly. Just about. 1.The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Actually it can be beneficial because nourishing a tattoo can empower someone's faith. It can remind someone of his faith and create a Thanksgiving heart in him . And in difficult situations it can reminds him that he is not alone. Even if anyone questions someone's faith he can say that the Cross is an expression or a confession of the faith in his heart and no condemnation can erase it.

That comes during our lives so we become conscious about something and have the chance to do something about it. Thank you for posting.

The Roman governors had the discretion to improvised on the Cross as they would. Each man to be executed was not the same build and weight. For that reason they would have to build a Cross to fit the condemn person. The point is to have a record of the person judged condemned and executed and the witness of the Roman Captain who Certified his death. And for a deferent to let him hang dead on the Cross for others to see what it may happen to them if they come against the Roman Empire. This is against the grain to allowed the man of Arimanthea to take Jesus down from the Cross. This man must have offered Pilate a good gift. Good questions you do have an inquiring mind and you are looking for specific details. Nothing wrong about that. They make me think and I have the time. God bless.

I understand that Jesus had to yield himself to the will of God and he did that willingly and he knew for some time that he will die and how it will happen. I understand that while he was going through the humiliation he knew that it was not for selfish ambition but to accomplish the redemption in his blood and to shed the blood of the New Covenant. Thank you for bringing this up you must have a good reason.

When Moses lifted up the Bronze Serpent in the desert he may have lifted him up on a stick. And perhaps on elevated ground for people to see him from afar. And that's what you and me would have done. The Serpent had no hands like a man has and no feet and that lead men to improvise and we have the Cross and man thinks and we have different kinds of Crosses. Does it matter.

Jesus knew how he will die and that he will carry his Cross on the way, and this is what he said while this day was getting closer. If you want to be my disciples pick up your CROSS and follow me. Jesus knew about the coming persecutions and that some of his disciples will die and some in the same way as him. Some who show him as the King in their visions and themselves living in the Royal Palace as they were thinking, with that statement Jesus tried to sober them up. He said "take the Cross and follow me" and Jesus was also punished and recieved the lasses on the way to the Cross.

Do you see how the Romans executed those who were sentence to death at that time. And at that time we had the leaders and Priest who had power over the Jews and they had power to sentence their people to death and their manner was by stoning. Two possibilities for Jesus to die in the hands of the Romans or in the hands of the Jewish customs. Jesus had said: That only the Father knows the time of the last events. Jesus knew how he will die from the beginning and he knew when and on what day. Jesus knew that he was the Passover lamb of God. And of course the Father knew it too and it was all in the prophetic. They will pierced his hands and feet and Jesus had said that the Son of man will be lifted up like Moses lifted up the Bronze Serpent in the dessert.

It is in the testimonies of Jesus Christ and through out the prophetic which Jesus Christ fulfilled. In the Garden Jesus said in his prayer "your will be done". Knowing that he was about to be betrayed and arested.

God promised to Abraham to provide the Lamb. Issac is not that Lamb but He will provide the Lamb. Someone with a uniqueness that sets him apart from Issac. God announced Issac's birth by an Angel before he was born who named him Issac in a similar way God announced the birth of Jesus by an Angel who called his name Jesus. God also announced the birth of John the Baptist by an Angel who called him John. And we have Samson. God also announced his birth by an Angel who called him Samson. And Samuel when God announced his birth by the High Priest. In Isaac's and John the Baptist and Samson's and Samuel births their birth was announced also to their Fathers. By an Angel who called their name. And thus we know their Fathers. But the distinction is made with Jesus when his birth was announced by the Archangel Gabriel only to Mary his mother to be. Every one of them had a proud father to boast that he is my son but not the same with Jesus when Joshef said I am not his Father, I have nothing to do with him till the Angel announced to him that he is from God and asked him to take care of the unborn baby as if it was his own. At the Baptist of Jesus in the Jordan River God gave the witness that Jesus was his Son. God asked his Son Jesus to die on the Cross. Jesus said just before the Cross that there is no any other way to accomplish what he had to accomplish without dieing on the Cross. Jesus knew that he had to die. He willingly march to his death to the Cross. Jesus knew that if he does not died he cannot be glorified. Before hand he Knew that the Father will give him the Heavenly Kingdom and sit him on the Throne to his right only after he dies on the Cross. After the Cross God fulfilled his part of the Agreement he had with Jesus Christ when Jesus died on the Cross. And God kept his word. It was an agreement between Jesus and his Father. Jesus did what the Father had asked him and the Heavenly Father kept his word and did to Jesus what had promised before hand that he will do. God did not have a choice He was bound by his own word. Jesus die first in obedience to him then He had to do what He had to do. To keep his word and do what he had promised to do. Do we call this a Judgment?

Our deeds are before the Lord are not hidden and then what does he wants to do. Maybe he leaves us alone for a while. But the time will come he will shake us like the mother shakes her puppies. We understand that he rewards those who diligently seek him and some times he quides us and wait for us to find our way. He can be gentle and He can be strong. And the time comes that our sins catch up with us and we cannot avoid the consequences. Yes Jesus gets involved in our lives and if we loose our consciousness in what we are doing somehow he will help us to find it. To those who were doing the wrong things and their deeds did not represent him and he is not glorified in them, the time came to let them know that he does not want them close to him and that their place is far away from him. When they repent and walk his way then it will be different. This happens during their life and were ministers somehow. Romans 8:1 is about our spiritual standing in his name, in his righteousness that we cannot be condemned and also includes something else and as it is written it mentions that we are not standing contempt if we are obedient to him. We are believers we are not contemn and we cannot be condemned but he can judge our deeds and behavior and he can tell us that he wants us to do something about it. Or he can rewards us for our good deeds as we learn in Revelation chapter 2 and 3. This is happening when it can be beneficial while we are still living. This is the time to know when we do good and reap the rewards. Now is the time to correct one's self and continue to grow.

@Frits Jesus called himself "The Son of Man". He did this repeatedly. He wanted to bring to the memory of the people to the time when the King said: we throw three people in the fire pit but now there four. And after saying they are four he said but one of them is deferent from them. And he said: "He looks like the :SON OF MAN". This Jesus was telling them wanting to tell them that I look like you but I am not like you I am a different man. I have a glory that sets me apart of you. I am a man like no other man ever in Israel. I did not say the world but in Israel because it was the Nation seperated from the rest of the world. The Nation of God with their Priesthood. And then Jesus is telling them something about himself when he made the water wine. He told them you are the vessels of the water and God have children from you filled with this wine. But this soon will come to the end. And God will have children from you filled with this wine from my wine I put into these stone vessels. The same stone vessels with new wine in them. I will give them this wine. I will put what I have in them filled them up with my wine. Empty them first and then filled them up, No mixing the two. From what I have I will give them and they will be different than you. They will look like like you but they will be different from you. So Jesus looked like them but it was not like them. He was deferent from them. To the Jew the unclean things had power over him. This why he tried to avoid touching anything unclean. Even when accidentaly touches something unclean he will become unckean. Even eating something unclean and without touching it still it had power over him. These are some of the Jew traits and he could be cleansed with the Cleansing ceremonies as in the book of Leviticus. For Jesus was deferent that any other Jew because the unclean had no power over him, but rather the opposite He had power over the unclean. He touched the lepers and they became clean. The scriptures said: You will know the Messiah by the works he does. The Jew needed the cleansing laws and without them he will become unclean and remain unclean. The Jew yes but not Jesus.

The author of the Letter to Hebrews is making a bold statement. He is addressing his letter to those who were once under the Covenant of Sinai and they had the blessing to be called Israelites. To be included in the blessing God put upon Jacob and for that reason He called him Israel. To take a Nation for himself out of his children and their children's children. Before that Jacob was one of the Hebrews and the Hebrews were not defined as his children. But the author called them Hebrews and he also called himself a Hebrew. He makes a big statement with just calling the Israelites Hebrews. Including the Levites and the Priesthood he is addressing all of them as Hebrews. He even takes them far away before Abraham's Cirumcision and he is telling them you are the children of your Patriarch to whom I have attached you by calling you Hebrews. He only called Hebrews the present generation and the future ones and not their forefathers and not the twelve Patriarhs and generations thereafter till the Cross of Jesus Christ. He is making them think. The were born Israelites and grew up in the Sinai Covenant but now as He is addressing them in the New Covenant they are like the other Sons of Abraham and the other Son of Issac who were in the Cirumcision but exluded from the blessings to Abraham and their children's children were not included in the Covenant of Sinai. And all this by calling them Hebrews.

Thank you for posting. Those were the first words that someone posted in response to my very first post. And that was you and that was a very big encouragement to me because you agree with me in something others did not understand and disagree. I said that we should consider to apply the "deterant" factor to where it should be applied. When it comes to forgiveness. In this example there was not forgiveness only punishment to deterred others wanting to do the same thing. But I understand that they had very strict rules in those matters and there was no room for discretion and strict obedience was a must. Just thinking of it the people complained that they also were in a position fit to do that service before the Lord. And that was never questioned. This is something for us to learn to distinguish the old from the new and how it is made possible for us as believers in Jesus Christ and even from "Gentile" families, I bring this up because you understand what that means, to do what Korah long to do and it cost him and for us the way was opened through the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross to be able to stand before His Throne of Grace and worship Him and give him praise. The prophetic say "I will his gates with thanksgiving in my heart and his courts with praise" for this is the day that the Lord has made. And we will be glad in it. They were many people like Korah who long to do stand before the Lord besides all those who died with him but they held back because of what happened to Korah. And eventually God gave them the hope that it will happen when the Lord will do something to change things and make that possible. In Revelation in one of the last chapters we see the Royal Priesthood worshiping in the Heavenly Temple before the Throne and it was said that the Temple had no doors but the unrepentant they were ot allowed to enter in till the time they have wash their cloths clean white and then they are made eligible to enter in. This is an ongoing real life picture. Giving us the knowledge that all believers are eligible to enter the Temple THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD but not all are till they have washed their clothes white. Putting on their white garments like the Priest in the Sinai Testament.

From the context in your quoted post I understand that you never claimed that Jesus was JUDGED by God regarding Sin or any disobedience towards him. Is that so?

Jesus said that God will take care of his Spirit. When Jesus said that His Spirit was still in him as he had not died yet but soon he will die and said that everything is in the hands of God, in his providence and nothing will happen to me when I will die and be in the Spirit. This is it, upon death he was not in the body but without the body. His body was on earth and his Spirit Man was at that time with Abraham and Issac and JACOB all all the righteous children of Abraham. And John the Baptist. They only people who were waiting for Jesus to die were Abraham and Issac and JACOB and all the sons of Jacob the Israelites because they knew that the only way to come to them in the Inheritance God gave to Abraham and to his children after death it was for Jesus to die because they also descended down there after they died. This the Jews call a Spirit the state of man out of the body. When the body cannot sustain life as a result of suffocating or heart failure or from lost blood from natural causes or by a sudden violen act. Or by an explosion or by chemical damage. His Spiritual been continious to live because is eternal. Definitely it cannot continue to co-exist with the physical body as the physical body is dead. This is what the scripture says that every one in the New Covenant in Jesus Christ been the Judge of all. Everyone will be Judged according to his faith in Jesus Christ for the final judgment to weather he had heard the Gospel and had all the changes while he yet lives to believe. After death it does not count only while he is still alive and in the body.

Ephesians 1:20-23 it is from Paul's epistle. And Paul has repeatedly take the stand that Jesus is beyond any Judgement. In this passage Paul describes the Glory and Power God bestowed upon Jesus Christ. When the Father welcome his younger son and he said my Son was dead and now he is alive: Did he judged him? Or order that he will be dressed up with the Robe of an Arhon and be given the ring with the seal of the Arhon. Jesus never said that he will be Judged by anyone but only from the people the Leaders of the Jews. Jesus before he died let the people know because he spoke in public that all are well between him and the Heavenly Father and he said that the Devil has nothing in him. And he let know everyone that he is in full obedience to God that it was God who asked him to die on the Cross. This is how he let the people know that God had asked him to die on the Cross it is when he said something knowing that he was about to die and enter the realm of the dead that he said that I am still in good standing with God and in obedience to him and I trust that he is in charge and all will be well with me as he was about to die and enter or descend in the Realm of the dead. He let the people know that he will die and he is just about to die and as the Father was with him while on earth and in his body now I trust him that all will be well while I am in the heart of the earth in the realm of the dead and all the way down to the lowest parts of the underworld so everyone will see him and know that Jesus Christ is Lord. That they have seen the Lord and they bow their heads down to him. They did not try to attack him. Never Jesus said that he will be Judged by his Father. To the contrary he said: I have the power to put down my Life and also have the power to take it up. And I have the power to go up to Heaven and come down.

I cannot accept what you posted in the way you posted. In the way you are reasoning you have put the cart before the horse. You are not asking questions to lead the audience on his own quest to search and find out, to get closer to what Jesus had in mind when he spoke these things and Jesus spoke those words for the thief to understand him and find his peace. Jesus stay within the perimeters of the thief's comprehension. Within the context in Luke 23:43 it was the thief who did not join the others and said about Jesus complimentary things that described his AS A RIGHTEOUS MAN and having the favor of God. Like in the same way the born blind man was thinking when he said about Jesus "that he healed him, God listen to him, God is listen to righteous people. In this way he justified Jesus as a RIGHTEOUS MAN and not a sinner. In the same way the thief on the cross said things that Justified Jesus as a righteous man and more than that when he said to him: 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He did not see Jesus punishment from God but rather honor by God. And Jesus replied within his Knowledge and the knowledge of the bystanders which included his disciples and the women who believed in him and followed him. Jesus reply to him Luke 23:43 “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise". Included a message to his disciples and the women who were stand by and were waiting for God to intervene and saved him, Jesus one more time he told them that He will die. That He will soon die Today. Because he said that today He will be number with the righteous jews or Israelites people after his death in the Bossom or Paradise of Abraham to where Father Abraham gathered his righteous children after their death. Jesus declared that he will surely die because he will be number with the righteous children of Abraham. Jesus told the thief first that he will be the first to die and he will be found together with the righteous children of Abraham and he will also joint him to the righteous people of God in the Bossom of Abraham because He forgave his sins as it was the custom of Jesus to forgive and healed the people because Jesus healed also sinners and forgave their sins. He made them whole established them in righteousness so they will not be afraid. Jesus told the thief that he will die a righteous person, which includes that he forgave his sins and that time the thief died in the old testament and in the Covenant of Sinai. This is why Jesus told him that he will be found together with the righteous children of Abraham in the Bossom of Abraham or the Paradise of Abraham. Jesus told him that he forgave his sins. Did the thief understand or relate to that? He must because the peace of God must have rested upon him as a witness that his sins were forgiven. When Jesus said it happened that same day. They both died and they both were found in the Bossom of Abraham because in the eyes and the Judgement of God were found to be righteous. Jesus used this opportunity to tell his disciples that not only that he will soon die but also that He will be going to Abraham and all his righteous children who were with him. From the testimony of Jesus we know that at his death He descended to Abraham and his children as He had declared earlier that Abraham knows of that day, and he rejoiced.

The book of Ecclesiastes does not instruct the people that as the children of Abraham they need to keep the Covenant of Cirumcision. If that the case it may be placed that it was written by someone who had knowledge of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and the Covenant God made with him. Abraham had teach his children not to worshiped their ancestors and call upon them this is one of the reasons God complement Abraham because Abraham had put all his eggs in Him and he never called upon any other God or his Ancestors to bless him with children. There is nothing in the book of Ecclesiastes to hinder that there is knowledge of the book of Leviticus in it about the Temple and the Priesthood and the sacrifices in the book of the Law and specifically to follow the religious Calendar and the instruction in it and the sanctification through the Leviticus book.

In the book of Ecclesiastes which the lesson is to the people who read it that God does not want them to worship their ancestors and call upon them to be their protectors and their guides in this life and they made shrines to them after they died and they burned incense to them and they welcomed them to come in their midst and offered them food to them. These were the instructions to live the dead alone and not to used mediums to bring them up from the place of the dead and asked them for advice or to reveal to them a secret they took with them when they died. The point was to help the Israelites to put their Hope to their God and to pray to him only.

Some of the Sadducees had some kind of beliefs to that effect. Or some small group within the Sadducees may have beliefs of this kind but not exactly.

The Lord God Almighty said to Moses something that sook him up. When he said to him in Exodus 3:6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. God told him that he is also his God. To Abraham in Genesis 15:15 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. Mathew 22:32 English Standard Version ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” Berean Standard Bible ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” The Jews were arguing with Jesus that their Father was Abraham which was truth within the Covenant of Sinai and that they cannot perish. Because Jesus told them that they will perish if they do not believe in him. Jesus was referring in the New Covenant when the disciples will preached the Gospel to them after his death on the Cross, forgiveness in his name. Before the Cross the Jews were right because their inheritance after death was to be gathered to their Patriarch Abraham their Father the Father of Cirumcision. With Moses the Cirumcision was. Codify in the Law of the covenant of Sinai. Their inheritance was the inheritance God bestowed to Abraham and his chosen seed to Issac and Jacob and all the children of the Sons of Jacob the Israelites the Nation of God in the Old Covenant. God set them apart from the rest of the world while they lived and also set them apart from the rest of the dead of the world. And they were gathered at death to the Bossom of Abraham or to the Paradise of Abraham. At death they descend to Abraham in Sheol in the earth waiting for Jesus the Christ of God the Savior to take them under his wing in his name to give them of his life and make them heirs of his Heavenly Inheritance. Now as citizens of Heaven together with Jesus they ascended to their Heavenly Inheritance because Jesus opened the way to Heaven. In other words God had promised them the Heavenly Inheritance but they had to wait till Jesus Christ open the way to the Heavenly Inheritance to Heaven

In Revelation 2:1-7 Jesus gave a message to the church of Ephesus through John. The church of Ephesus was one of the seven golden lampstands as described in Revelation chapter one. After Jesus gave his instructions to the church of Ephesus, He told what he wants from them. And at the same time Jesus gave them the warning of what he will do to them if they did not follow his commandment and how he will reward those who will obey his commantment. Jesus promises to give them a blessing in him that their teachers do not have and only He can give it to them. Something special from him. He is the tree of life in the Garden as in Genesis. The tree of life in the middle of the Garden of the Paradise of God. Jesus said that he will open the way for them to enter and eat from his tree, from the tree of Life in the Center of the Garden. Jesus is telling us that the tree of life it was his tree. This is why everyone had to wait for him to open the way to the tree of life. Jesus in this example he is giving us an insight that all believers are eligible to enter in the Garden of and eat from the tree of life but not every one will. As we see the promised was given to everyone in the church of Ephesus but only those who harken to the worlds of Jesus did. Not only this was given to the church of Ephesus but we must distinguish the church of Ephesus from all the other churches because it was one of the seven golden lampstands as in Revelation chapter one12-15. 12. I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,[d] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
