Personally, I've never deer hunted public land, but i think it should be available to those who want to.

It is available.

It just doesnt have the rifle season that private does, and for good reason--if you had the same rifle season on KNF as you do in Area 2, those deer would be getting hammered by every Tom, Dick, and Harry for 2.5 months.

You wouldn't have a deer herd very long if you did that.

Not that I'm condoning crime, but if you're going to commit crime, don't commit it against the guys paid to stop it or investigate it when it happens.

This is another fundamental misunderstanding of the Jewish calendar and how it works based upon New Testament scholars who don’t understand what they’re looking at

---

You keep arguing that the issue is with how the scholars interpret it, but seems to me the issue is your interpretation and lack of consideration to anything outside of the Bible, like historic norms. You can take it literally all you want--the non-biblical evidence that inclusive reckoning was the norm of the time is strong. So the reason biblical scholars don't take his words literally in this case is because it didn't mean 3, 24 hour days.

And no, I am not basing this off of Palm Sunday specifically. I was just presenting a coherent chronological order.

---

So by your own admission, Nissan 10 doesnt have to align with Palm Sunday; you just did it because of the literal interpretation of Matthew 12:40.

The minute you consider that maybe it wasn't meant literally, or that the way they kept time was not the same way we do, that opens the possibility that the crucifixion occurred on what we would know as Friday.

In the end, nobody knows for sure, and it doesnt really matter. The Church could have easily decided to treat Easter the same way Christmas is treated--i.e., moving based on where a specific date/event falls. The whole "controversy" (if it even is one) comes from the setting of it on a particular day of the week that wasn't even used by the Jews at the time. The "7th day" was always the sabbath for them. April 7th, 2026 is a Tuesday, i.e., not a Sabbath (which we would equate to "Saturday" in current times).

Nisan 15 (according to the sources I've seen) fell on April 1/2, 2026 (Wednesday/Thursday).

Before I read it, let me ask you this--what qualifications does Pastor Gabriel have that I should trust over the rabbi, Catholic priest, and university professor that the show consults with?

I'm not asking this to discredit him, but there is a stark difference between some seemingly random Protestant pastor on the internet and the 3 men that the production company chose to consult with.

Father Mike Schmitz recently put out a video that is very clearly alluding to The Chosen when he essentially criticizes the way people have tried to recharacterize Judas's motivations for betraying Jesus. We only know what is portrayed in the Gospels, which is that he was a thief, and he betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver. That doesnt necessarily prescribe motive. Maybe it was as simple has he was looking for a quick buck. Maybe he just got tired of Jesus, but why not just walk away if that were the case? Others did. The story The Chosen tells, while not in the Bible, at least gives some rationale to why he did it. Is it accurate? Who knows. And ultimately, all that matters is that he did betray him--the reasons don't matter.

They make it clear from the start that it's a TV show based on the Gospels. They never claim to remain 100% true to the phrasing of every verse. I guess if people feel their faith is threatened by that, they shouldn't watch.

But I'll fall back to what I said before: it's a much better show to watch--even if they take liberties with the presentation of certain events, or the creation of back stories--than most shows on TV or streaming today.

But, I love to make this point also--taking issue with some creativity in a show based on the Gospels is no different than taking issue with movies or TV shows based on true stories. If someone wants to take issue with those--fine. But the only reason people seem to get more frustrated with The Chosen doing it is because it's based on Jesus.

No one really cares that the T.C. William Titans actually spanked everyone, or that Gerry didn't get hurt until after the state championship. That doesn't make a great movie.

You wouldn't have much of a TV show if they didn't do some of this. Episode 1 would be Jesus calling his disciples, then Episode 2 is them at some rando's wedding...how did we get here again?

:lol:

Go actually read the Bible yourself - look at what I wrote - read the verses

I mean, I most certainly will because I'm genuinely curious to see if theres any real indication within the Gospels or Acts. But so far the only time frame I've seen for his arrival was 5 days before Passover in John. That gives no indication of what day of the week that would have been.

All I know is that every attempt I've ever seen to correlate the Jewish calendar to the Gregorian calendar between the years that Jesus's ministry is assumed to have occurred only produces one year (AD 34) with Passover landing on a Thursday.

The two most popular years (30 and 33) both presumably had Passover occur on a Friday.

Thursday. He was crucified on Thursday

How are you coming to this when many biblical scholars believe he was crucified on Friday, April 3, 33 AD based on all of the evidence in the Bible?

Are we talking about the same guy that constantly said "the first shall be last and the last shall be first" and taught his disciples to serve others?

Not only did Nicodemus not accept Jesus at this time in scripture

John 3:2 literally says "He [Nicodemus] came to Jesus at night and said to him, 'Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

No where does it say Nicodemus didn't accept him.

:lol:

One of the great mysteries of working with lumber.

Always amazes me when I measure things 3 or 4 times, cut the board, and that damn thing is still to long/short. Wth, board?! Doesn't happen often, but when it does, I just quit for the day.
