Gordian Knot, re: "You believe it is your subconscious that does this, but that your conscious mind cannot. Is that a correct summation of what you said?" Not quite. I didn't actually say that I believed it. I said that I'm guessing that new beliefs may come about as a result of...

Namaste Jesus, re: "I guess I misunderstood what you were asking..." And I don't understand what is unclear about my request. Either you can consciously choose to believe things or you can't. If you can, I'm simply asking you to demonstrate your ability.

2ndpillar, re: "What I can do is quote you writings from the 1st century which states that the Sabbath in question was not the 7th day Sabbath..." Thanks, but that's an issue for a different topic.

Gordian Knot, re: "Not exactly sure what you are asking here." I'd simply like to see someone who thinks that they can consciously choose to believe things to demonstrate such an ability in real time. Can you do that? re: "Iif you have never been able to consciously choose any of the...

A number of folks on these boards are saying or at least implying that they can consciously CHOOSE to believe things. If you are one of them perhaps one of you can help me. I have never been able to consciously CHOOSE any of the beliefs that I have and I would like to be able to do that. If you...

I should also add: "and who think that the 'heart of the earth' is referring to the tomb".

I probably should have addressed the OP to those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who try to get around Matthew 12:40 by saying that it is using common Jewish idiomatic language.

radarmark, re: "If there is a car, and if the only choices left are curtains 2 or 3..." After the host opens curtain #3, the only choices left are curtains #1 and #2. Curtain #3 is out of the picture. There is a 1/3rd chance that it is curtain #1 and a 2/3rds chance that is curtain #2.

radarmark, re: "If he [the host] knows where the car is..." He does re: "...and is puropsefully leading you astray..." He isn't. re: ".... or if he is trying to help you..." He isn't. 　 re: "In the beginning the odds are 1 out of 3. After your choice the odds...

You are a contestant on a game show. There are three curtains. Behind one of the curtains is a new car. You are asked to choose one of the curtains. Lets say that you choose curtain #1. The host of the show - who knows where the car is so as not to end the game prematurely - opens curtain #3 and...

donnann, re: "You do know that the cross is an ancient egyptian symbol representing the union of body soul and spirit correct?" No, I do not know that. What I do know is that your last 3 posts have absolutely nothing to do with my request in the OP.

donnann, re: "14th or 15th of what?" The first month of the year. re: "GOD didnt actually kill the firstborn" Exodus 12:29-30 says otherwise.

Did the actual pesaching through the land of Egypt and the striking down of the firstborn take place on the 14th or the 15th?

wil, re: "What are 6th day crucifiction proponents?" Those who say that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week.

donnann, Do you know of any writing as asked for in the OP?

Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a "discussion" with 6th day crucifixion proponents, they frequently argue that it is a common Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone knows of any writing from the first century or...
