References:

(1) “What is truth?” was Pilate’s sarcastic response. Pilate turned on his heels and went out to speak with those demanding Jesus’ execution. He did not have time to ponder the question of the ages.

(2) Pilate washed his hands before the multitude, saying “I am innocent of the blood of this JUST PERSON.” As Pilate was sitting on the JUDGMENT SEAT he released Barnabas, and he SCOURGED Jesus  and delivered Him to be crucified [Matt. 27:26]. He did this despite the fact that he knew that Jesus was innocent, and despite his wife’s warning saying, “Have nothing to do with this JUST MAN, for I have suffered many things today in a DREAM because of Him” [Matt. 27:19]. So Pilate and his wife both knew Jesus was just.

(3) Some early Christian writers, such as Origen, suggested that Pilate’s wife CONVERTED to Christianity after the resurrection due to the dream. Eastern tradition VENERATE her as a saint, while Western interpretations are ambivalent concerning her.

(4) The Gospel of John invites readers to DECIDE whether they will echo Pilates DISMISSAL and REJECTION  or “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have LIFE in His name” (John 20:31). It’s your CHOICE, but that choice has eternal CONSEQUENCES.

(5) Some Christians, such as Augustine, and historians, such as Eusebius, wrote that Pontius Pilate became a Christian after learning about several MIRACULOUS EVENTS  that occurred following Jesus' death.

(6) Ultimately Pontius Pilate remains one of the most COMPLEX and CONTROVERSIAL figures associated with Jesus' crucifixion. Scripture presents him as a man who recognized Jesus' innocence yet he yielded to political pressure and fear of unrest. History outside the Bible offers fragments, accusations, legends, and theories — but no definitive account of Pilate’s final years or his ultimate spiritual condition.

(7) In the book The Comprehensive Guide to Apologetics edited by Joseph M. Holden in chapter 6 in an article Richard G. Howe writes “To ask the question, ‘What is truth?’ is to address the 2 separate issues of THEORIES of truth and TESTS of truth. A test for truth is how one DISCOVERS whether a statement is TRUE.  By contrast a THEORY of truth is how one DEFINES the terms TRUE and TRUTH. It is the difference between DISCOVERING truth and DEFINING truth.”

(8) In terms of truth I list 8 self-defeating statements we hear in our secular culture and record the obvious counter questions, 3 come from Frank Turek’s book Stealing From God and 5 from an article called Road Runner and Self-Defeating Arguments by Vance Bradley on the web cite reddoorofsoro.org.

(9) In the book I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist the authors Norman Geisler and Frank Turek recommend what they call “the Road Runner Tactic” that takes statements that culture offers, and applies the statement to ITSELF to see if they make sense or are self-defeating.

(10) Self-defeating statements VIOLATE the law of LOGIC called the law of NONCONTRADICTION which says  that OPPOSITE ideas cannot be true at the same time and in the same sense. This tactic quickly identifies the FALSE STATEMENTS and FALSE PHILOSOPHIES that permeate our secular culture.

The Ancient Blueprint for the End Times

This teaching dives deep into the biblical and historical timelines that connect the days of Jared and Enoch to our current generation. Servant Marcia Carty explains how the disobedience regarding the Sabbath of the land led to a divine judgment that echoes into the prophecy of Daniel’s 70 weeks. By understanding the origins of the watchers and the specific sins of the past, believers can better recognize the atmospheric shifts occurring in the world today.

-- The origins of the flood began long before Noah, starting with the arrival of the watchers during the days of Jared.

-- Enoch was the first among men to record the signs of heaven, testifying for exactly 365 years before God took him.

-- The 490-year period of Israel’s disobedience regarding the land’s Sabbath rest directly resulted in the Babylonian captivity.

-- Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks provides a precise timeline for the appearance and sacrifice of the Messiah.

-- The two witnesses of Revelation may be Enoch and Elijah, the only two men who have not yet tasted death.

-- As the dragon casts out a flood to destroy the remnant, the earth itself will rise up to protect those who keep the commandments of God.

-- True salvation and safety in these times come through the word of faith and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Shabbat Shalom, dear family,

sweet mishpocah and friends;

did so his wisdom share;

with one and all who loved the truth,

who would their hearts prepare.

Shalom! Shalom! O let us love,

O let us live aright;

we are His ones He has redeemed,

we are His salt and light.

to ever watch and pray;

lest you be weak and fall to sin,

when temptings come your way.

Shabbat Shalom, we guard our hearts,

our minds and souls to keep;

Him blest and honored, and obeyed,

lest we should sin and weep.

[verse 3]

Shabbat Shalom, Apostle Paul,

did teach young Timothy;

that all who name the name of Christ,

forsake iniquity.

we are for whom He died;

that we might be His chosen ones,

He cleansed and sanctified.

(He cleansed and sanctified)

[verse 4]

Shabbat Shalom, we count the cost,

of His discipleship;

for those eternal treasures there,

of His sweet fellowship.

Shabbat Shalom, you hate that sin,

and overcome it now;

so you can lift up holy hands,

and not in sorrow bow.

(and not in sorrow bow)

[chorus]

Shalom! Shalom! O let us love,

O let us live a-right;

we are His ones He has redeemed,

we are His salt and light.

in Him Who paid the price,

for all our sins, that perfect Lamb,

the Lamb of Sacrifice.

[verse 5]

Shabbat Shalom, remembering,

what does our Lord require;

but to be just and mercy love,

your joys He will restore;

Redeemer evermore. Amen!

(redeemer evermore. amen!)

[chorus]

Shalom! Shalom! O let us love,

O let us live a-right;

we are His ones He has redeemed,

we are His salt and light.
