Daily Bible Nugget #808, Acts 2:24

The Nugget:

Act 2:24  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. (KJV)

Act 2:24  whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it. (WEB, World English Bible)

Act 2:24 but God raised Him up by loosing Him from the pangs of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held by the power of death. (Williams NT)

Act 2:24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. (ESV, English Standard Version)

Act 2:24 But God set him free from death and raised him to life. Death could not hold him in its power. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

My Comment:

It is helpful to verify the truthfulness of our chosen faith commitment (Romans 14:12) by comparing it to the emphasis seen in the written Word of God as found in the Bible, and particularly the New Testament.

Any religious faith which claims to be Biblical must share the same balance and emphasis the Bible itself contains.

I have found in my reading and study of the Bible that the emphasis in the New Testament is the Apostles’ witness to the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ “on the third day.”

By carefully following the cross references given in center-column reference Bibles and other Bible study cross reference resources like The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge just newly released in printed book form this year (2023) and available on Amazon or The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury available for the e-Sword free Bible software as a premium module from e-Studysource.com you can easily verify that the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ bodily from the dead is the single consistent note present in all their witness–not the necessity of observing the Seventh Day Sabbath!
