       Can you give me a timeline for the events in Matthew 2?
       When did Joseph take Mary and Jesus to Egypt according to Matt?
       [/quote]
       you want to know what? Jesus was a Child that was approximately
       12-18 months old at that time. Thus the trip to Egypt  happened
       sometime between Sept 29th 2 BC and Herod's death January 14, 1
       BC.
       I probably can narrow it down a little more but the Bible tells
       us, Jesus was a child....and Herod killed all the children from
       2 years old down.
       My question is:  How did the regular soldier determine the age
       of a child or did he really care????????
       Like that or did you have something else in mind????

       Why were they in Bethlehem 12-18 months later?
       Why don't the first few verses of Matt. 2 suggest it was at the
       time of Jesus' birth?
       You seem very certain of the date of Herod's death whereas bible
       scholars debate the issue. Have you some inside knowledge?
       Jer 31:15  Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
       lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children
       refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
       Jer 31:16  Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping,
       and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith
       the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
       Jer 31:17  And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that
       thy children shall come again to their own border.
       Matt. 2:17-18. Rachel weeping for her children!? Is he serious?
       Herod slaying these children doesn't fit this at all.
       That's if it even happened. Though there are probably more
       historical writings concerning Herod than any of his
       contemporaries, this atrocity is not mentioned.
       I can hear your cry, that I deny the bible but scripture has
       internal witness of it's truth. I find none in these cases.
       The first two chapters of Matthew give three supposed
       fulfilments of prophecy, none of which are related in any way to
       the actual account in tho OT.
       The other 2 and their context below.
       Mat 1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
       which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
       Mat 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring
       forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
       interpreted is, God with us.
       Isa 7:3  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet
       Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit
       of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
       Isa 7:4  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,
       neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking
       firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the
       son of Remaliah.
       Isa 7:5  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have
       taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
       Isa 7:6  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make
       a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even
       the son of Tabeal:
       Isa 7:7  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither
       shall it come to pass.
       Isa 7:8  For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of
       Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall
       Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
       Isa 7:9  And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of
       Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye
       shall not be established.
       Isa 7:10  Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
       Isa 7:11  Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in
       the depth, or in the height above.
       Isa 7:12  But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt
       the LORD.
       Isa 7:13  And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a
       small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
       Isa 7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
       Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call
       his name Immanuel.
       Isa 7:15  Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to
       refuse the evil, and choose the good.
       Isa 7:16  For before the child shall know to refuse the evil,
       and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be
       forsaken of both her kings.
       **************
       Mat 2:15  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
       be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
       saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
       Hos 11:1  When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called
       my son out of Egypt.
       Exo 4:22  And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD,
       Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
       Then there's the problem Matthew has with counting and checking
       his facts when recounting genealogies. Do I need to produce that
       info or do you know what I'm on about, because this is getting a
       little long?

       There are several scholars that have their own views, some
       around 3 BC and some around 4 BC.  What I told you was what I
       believe to be the truth....Of course this has been vetted many
       times by several scholars and backup up by historical records.
       Like we know for a fact when Herod died........that was
       easy....what is not easy is comparing what the Bible tells us in
       verses here and there and comparing them to historical
       records.....
       God left us dates and times if we will unravel the verses they
       are in. when they came back from Egypt, they went to Nazarus
       where Jesus was raised.
       Look to  Psalm 69 (the life of Jesus we are not told about)

       Yes it happened,,,,Jesus tells us in Mat 2:16-18...
       I apologize you feel that way and hope it was nothing that I did
       I study many hours per day on the Bible and seek what questions
       that come up so I can answer them....Some people accept them and
       look for themselves to see if what I have said is true...
       And others, well they dismiss it, disparage me and my
       postings......That is their right.   If you do not agree it is
       ok.....

       Can you give me a timeline for the events in Matthew 2?
       When did Joseph take Mary and Jesus to Egypt according to Matt?
       [/quote]
       you want to know what? Jesus was a Child that was approximately
       12-18 months old at that time. Thus the trip to Egypt  happened
       sometime between Sept 29th 2 BC and Herod's death January 14, 1
       BC.
       I probably can narrow it down a little more but the Bible tells
       us, Jesus was a child....and Herod killed all the children from
       2 years old down.
       My question is:  How did the regular soldier determine the age
       of a child or did he really care????????
       Like that or did you have something else in mind????

       Why were they in Bethlehem 12-18 months later?

       You seem very certain of the date of Herod's death whereas bible
       scholars debate the issue. Have you some inside knowledge?
       Jer 31:15  Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
       lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children
       refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
       Jer 31:16  Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping,
       and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith
       the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
       Jer 31:17  And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that
       thy children shall come again to their own border.

       The first two chapters of Matthew give three supposed

       The other 2 and their context below.
       Mat 1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
       which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
       Mat 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring

       neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking
       firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the

       There 108 prophecies fulfilled from the OT from the entrance of
       Jesus on the donkey into the city of Jerusalem until the time of
       His (Jesus) ascension.
       Matthew also gives the view of Jesus as a Jew from being a Jew
       himself.
       Since Jesus/GOD is the author of all the verses, words,
       punctuation, etc.  in the KJV Bible, He does not give us line
       for line as a history book might have. No, He hides things and
       expects us to find them........

       left wondering what you think you answered...
       Likewise, I'm not concerned if you disagree with me but don't

       You said:"The first two chapters of Matthew give three supposed
       fulfilments of prophecy, none of which are related in any way to
       the actual account in tho OT."
       There 108 prophecies fulfilled from the OT from the entrance of
       Jesus on the donkey into the city of Jerusalem until the time of
       His (Jesus) ascension.
       Matthew also gives the view of Jesus as a Jew from being a Jew
       himself.
       Since Jesus/GOD is the author of all the verses, words,
       punctuation, etc.  in the KJV Bible, He does not give us line
       for line as a history book might have. No, He hides things and
       expects us to find them........

       Well Blade, you have certainly found things (or at least others
       have way before you came on the scene) but the question remains,
       was it God who hid them under the rug to be found? God hides
       things in plain sight within his promises. It takes an
       understanding of His plan and purpose to find them and only He
       can direct you to them.
       Your trust in the KJV's verses, words, punctuation etc. is not a
       trust in God I hope you come to realise. I use it almost
       exclusively myself but my trust isn't in it.  Holy men of old
       wrote as the Spirit of God gave them understanding. I trust them
       but I know that wolves in sheep's clothing have crept in to add
       to and subtract from their inspired writings since then. A
       little here, a little there, just enough to catch the one who
       forget's to honour the promises of God. We were warned so we are
       without excuse.
       Thanks for the discussion Blade, it seems to have ended in a
       stalemate.

       Can you give me a timeline for the events in Matthew 2?
       When did Joseph take Mary and Jesus to Egypt according to Matt?
       [/quote]
       you want to know what? Jesus was a Child that was approximately
       12-18 months old at that time. Thus the trip to Egypt  happened
       sometime between Sept 29th 2 BC and Herod's death January 14, 1
       BC.
       I probably can narrow it down a little more but the Bible tells
       us, Jesus was a child....and Herod killed all the children from
       2 years old down.
       My question is:  How did the regular soldier determine the age
       of a child or did he really care????????
       Like that or did you have something else in mind????
       Blade
       [/quote]
       Why were they in Bethlehem 12-18 months later?
       Why don't the first few verses of Matt. 2 suggest it was at the
       time of Jesus' birth?
       You seem very certain of the date of Herod's death whereas bible
       scholars debate the issue. Have you some inside knowledge?
       Jer 31:15  Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
       lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children
       refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
       Jer 31:16  Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping,
       and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith
       the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
       Jer 31:17  And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that
       thy children shall come again to their own border.
       Matt. 2:17-18. Rachel weeping for her children!? Is he serious?
       Herod slaying these children doesn't fit this at all.
       That's if it even happened. Though there are probably more
       historical writings concerning Herod than any of his
       contemporaries, this atrocity is not mentioned.
       I can hear your cry, that I deny the bible but scripture has
       internal witness of it's truth. I find none in these cases.
       The first two chapters of Matthew give three supposed
       fulfilments of prophecy, none of which are related in any way to
       the actual account in tho OT.
       The other 2 and their context below.
       Mat 1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled
       which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
       Mat 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring
       forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
       interpreted is, God with us.
       Isa 7:3  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet
       Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit
       of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
       Isa 7:4  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,
       neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking
       firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the
       son of Remaliah.
       Isa 7:5  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have
       taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
       Isa 7:6  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make
       a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even
       the son of Tabeal:
       Isa 7:7  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither
       shall it come to pass.
       Isa 7:8  For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of
       Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall
       Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
       Isa 7:9  And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of
       Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye
       shall not be established.
       Isa 7:10  Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
       Isa 7:11  Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in
       the depth, or in the height above.
       Isa 7:12  But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt
       the LORD.
       Isa 7:13  And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a
       small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
       Isa 7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
       Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call
       his name Immanuel.
       Isa 7:15  Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to
       refuse the evil, and choose the good.
       Isa 7:16  For before the child shall know to refuse the evil,
       and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be
       forsaken of both her kings.
       **************
       Mat 2:15  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
       be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
       saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
       Hos 11:1  When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called
       my son out of Egypt.
       Exo 4:22  And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD,
       Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
       Then there's the problem Matthew has with counting and checking
       his facts when recounting genealogies. Do I need to produce that
       info or do you know what I'm on about, because this is getting a
       little long?
       [/quote]
       There are several scholars that have their own views, some
       around 3 BC and some around 4 BC.  What I told you was what I
       believe to be the truth....Of course this has been vetted many
       times by several scholars and backup up by historical records.
       Like we know for a fact when Herod died........that was
       easy....what is not easy is comparing what the Bible tells us in
       verses here and there and comparing them to historical
       records.....
       God left us dates and times if we will unravel the verses they
       are in. when they came back from Egypt, they went to Nazarus
       where Jesus was raised.
       Look to  Psalm 69 (the life of Jesus we are not told about)
       *****
       [color=orange]you said::::Matt. 2:17-18. Rachel weeping for her
       children!? Is he serious? Herod slaying these children doesn't

       Yes it happened,,,,Jesus tells us in Mat 2:16-18...
       I apologize you feel that way and hope it was nothing that I did
       I study many hours per day on the Bible and seek what questions
       that come up so I can answer them....Some people accept them and
       look for themselves to see if what I have said is true...
       And others, well they dismiss it, disparage me and my
       postings......That is their right.   If you do not agree it is
       ok.....

       And yet you haven't answered my questions. I question whether
       Matthew's claims of prophecy fulfilled can be justified when we
       look at the OT references and you only reference one and then
       only by re-quoting the supposed fulfilment in question. That's
       not an answer. Others are left without comment.
       I'm certainly not guilty of dismissing your answers because I'm

       [quote]Your questioning the KJV can also be discussed in a
       different thread should you wish it.
       Your question about the WORD of GOD in JOHN 1:1 and my use of it
       can be discussed in a different thread if you wish.
       However, I would like to clear up the Joseph, May and Heli
       "assumption" as you called it....
       In Luke 3:23.(KJV) [color=red]."And Jesus himself began to be
       about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed ) the son of
       Joseph, which was the son of Heli,"
       Your word "assumption" kind of hit me wrong. Needless to say, I
       went back to research it a little more and here is the answer as
       given to you by GOD himself....
       "AS WAS SUPPOSED"
       meaning..νομίζω nomízō,
       nom-id'-zo; from G3551; properly, to do by law (usage), i.e. to
       accustom (passively, be usual); by extension, to deem or
       regard:—suppose, thing, be wont.
       So Joseph was a son to heli according to customs of Israel
       concerning the issues brought about by Zelophehad. A Son-in-law
       adopted......
       Outline of Biblical (KJV) Usage :   to hold by custom or usage,
       own as a custom or usage, to follow a custom or usage, it is the
       custom, it is the received usage , to deem, think, suppose
       Hope you have a good evening.

       [/quote]
       Yes I thought you would get there sooner or later but let's not
       wrap it up quite so soon...
       Here is a list of every usage of the word translated "supposed"
       in the KJV.
       Check out the context of every time it is used and tell me I
       cannot hold the view I have; that people thought that Jesus was
       Joseph's actual son.
       G3543

       Now apply the verses I gave in support of the supposition that
       everyone had concerning the father of Jesus.
       Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother
       called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
       Judas?
       Luk 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother
       said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold,
       thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
       Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of
       age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the
       son of Heli,
       Luk 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
       words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not
       this Joseph's son?
       Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have
       found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did
       write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
       Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
       whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
       came down from heaven?
       Next.

       How many of these sons were "supposed" by their contemporaries
       to be the son of...
       In fact, isn't it true that you are indeed "supposed" or
       "assumed" to be the son of your father by the majority of the
       people who know you? How many people 'actually know' you are?
       Luke, said at the beginning of his Gospel...
       Luk 1:1  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
       order a declaration of those things which are most surely
       believed among us,
       Luk 1:2  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
       beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
       Luk 1:3  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
       understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto
       thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
       Luk 1:4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
       wherein thou hast been instructed.
       In light of this statement he also said:
       Luk 3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of
       age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the
       son of Heli,
       In other words, Jesus... being as everyone supposed, the son of
       Joseph....
       Let's be honest, the statements above demonstrate that everyone
       did think Jesus was the son of Joseph, including Luke.
       [/quote]
       Jesus is the  legal son of Joseph...and the legal son of Heli,
       according to customs.....

       the question and Luke 3 tells us by using; NOT assumptions but
       rather deductive reasoning, that Heli adopted Mary's Husband,
       Joseph because of a civil law, GOD gave Israel in the
       Wilderness.

       [quote]Your questioning the KJV can also be discussed in a
       different thread should you wish it.
       Your question about the WORD of GOD in JOHN 1:1 and my use of it
       can be discussed in a different thread if you wish.
       However, I would like to clear up the Joseph, May and Heli
       "assumption" as you called it....
       In Luke 3:23.(KJV) [color=red]."And Jesus himself began to be
       about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed ) the son of
       Joseph, which was the son of Heli,"
       Your word "assumption" kind of hit me wrong. Needless to say, I
       went back to research it a little more and here is the answer as
       given to you by GOD himself....
       "AS WAS SUPPOSED"
       meaning..νομίζω nomízō,
       nom-id'-zo; from G3551; properly, to do by law (usage), i.e. to
       accustom (passively, be usual); by extension, to deem or
       regard:—suppose, thing, be wont.
       So Joseph was a son to heli according to customs of Israel
       concerning the issues brought about by Zelophehad. A Son-in-law
       adopted......

       Yes I thought you would get there sooner or later but let's not
       wrap it up quite so soon...
       Here is a list of every usage of the word translated "supposed"
       in the KJV.
       Check out the context of every time it is used and tell me I
       cannot hold the view I have; that people thought that Jesus was
       Joseph's actual son.

       Now apply the verses I gave in support of the supposition that
       everyone had concerning the father of Jesus.
       Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother
       called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
       Judas?
       Luk 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother
       said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold,
       thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
       Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of
       age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the
       son of Heli,
       Luk 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
       words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not
       this Joseph's son?
       Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have
       found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did
       write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
       Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph,
       whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
       came down from heaven?
       Next.
       Luk 3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of

       How many of these sons were "supposed" by their contemporaries

       In fact, isn't it true that you are indeed "supposed" or
       "assumed" to be the son of your father by the majority of the
       people who know you? How many people 'actually know' you are?
       Luke, said at the beginning of his Gospel...
       Luk 1:1  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
       order a declaration of those things which are most surely
       believed among us,
       Luk 1:2  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
       beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
       Luk 1:3  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
       understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto
       thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
       Luk 1:4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
       wherein thou hast been instructed.
       In light of this statement he also said:
       Luk 3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of
       age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the
       son of Heli,
       In other words, Jesus... being as everyone supposed, the son of
       Joseph....
       Let's be honest, the statements above demonstrate that everyone
       did think Jesus was the son of Joseph, including Luke.

       True. We know Jesus was born of Mary.
       It's what Luke tells us.... that you WANT to be... indeed, have
       concluded MUST be, because... That's where the problem lies.
       If you were to just let Luke say what he says without thinking
       about the because...
       Why do I know this? Because I've been there myself.
       I know I won't ever convince you. It's not my job.  :)
       But just so you know, there's no point in you repeating yourself
       to me, because, as I'm sure you know, once you see something
       that's been there in front of you for so long, there's no going
       back.
       That's our biggest problem with all of our theology, we know the
       answer all too often before we research, and therefore all the
       research points us in one direction...
       Thanks for the discussion Blade, I know you mean well.

       are you trying to decide if there were TWO Josephs?
       That Heli is Joseph's father. Luke (3:23, KJV)
       That Jacob is Joseph's Father. (Mat 1:16, KJV)
       What are you trying to say?
       Mat 1:16 (KJV).]."And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of
       whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
       OK, here we Know that:
       1. Jacob is the Father of Joseph? right?????
       2. Joseph is the Husband of Mary?   right?????
       3. Mary is the Mother of Jesus ?????   right???
       Are we on the same page to this point?????
       Luke 3:23..(KJV)..."And Jesus himself began to be about thirty
       years of age, being (as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, which
       was the son of Heli,"
       OK, Here we see that:
       1. Jesus is the Son of Joseph ("as was supposed" according to
       customs-Adopted)
       2. Joseph is the Father-in-law of Heli.
       3. Joseph (the father of Jesus) is the son of Heli.
       OK,   where are you at right here?
       Let me add two more item to this discussion.
       1. Both Matthew and Luke genealogies are identical from Adam to
       Abraham.
       2. "The term in Luke 3:23 is nomizo in Greek: reckoned as by
       law. Joseph was adopted by Heli in accordance to the exception
       in the Torah for inheritance through brotherless sisters given
       to Zelophehad (Numbers 27:1-11; Joshua 17:3-6; Ezra 2:61; cf.
       Nehemiah 7:63; Numbers 32:41; 1 Chronicles 2:21-23, 34-35). "
       (Koinonia House,The Gospel in Quadraphonic:)
       I really would like to understand your rejection of whatever it
       is that you are trying to say...Please help me understand your
       postion(s) on these two scriptures..
