Quote:So here's the scene in John's gospel: on the day leading up to Passover, and Passover will commence at 6 o'clock with the evening meal, on the day leading up to that Passover meal is the day when all the lambs are slaughtered and everyone goes to the temple to get their lamb for the passover meal. In Jerusalem this would have meant thousands of lambs being slaughtered all at one time. And in John's gospel that's the day on which Jesus is crucified. So that quite literally the dramatic scene in John's gospel has Jesus hanging on the cross while the lambs are being slaughtered for passover. John's gospel is forcing us, dramatically at least, through the storytelling mode, to think of Jesus as a passover lamb. Jesus doesn't eat a passover meal, Jesus is the passover meal, at least within the Christian mind in the way that John tells the story.

Right, Passover was when Christ was sacrificed, as you said, it started on Thursday at 6:00 PM (sunset) and ended on Friday at 6:00 PM (sunset) when He was buried. John did not record the upper room Passover meal, he had his reasons and probably because everyone knew that fact by the time He wrote his gospel. You have not proved any difference in the four gospels on this point. I just can not figure out why you keep insisting to try and prove something that just doesn't exist. I also made a mistake on my last post in saying Jesus was crucified on the day after Passover, old brain I guess anyway it was a mistake and I wanted to clear that up.
Sorry for the delay in answering I've been every busy and just haven't had the time till tonight.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
