The "ascension" took place after the resurrection of Jesus, when he left this earth to sit at his Father's right hand. Zacharias and Elizabeth were both quite old when JB was born and had probably even died prior to the ascension. I am a little confused as to what you mean when you write that they were post-ascension. Elsewhere you state that "Christ has a flesh body and ate fish even after the accention." I assume you meant to say "ascension" here and if so, I was not aware of any Scripture which speaks of Jesus eating fish since having left to be with his Father. Could you please try to help me better understand what you're saying. ------------------------- cd: Respectfully Bill -I am speaking of post-ascension as a way of pointing out that Zac. and Elizabeth were able to keep God's commandments before Christ went up to heaven and sent the Holy Ghost to help us in this area (Acts 2)-so we have no excuse for not doing so.This is my attempt to strengthen the brethren. ------------------------- By the way, do you (and Judy) believe that JB's parents were born of "sinful flesh"? -----------------------------   cd: Yes I do Bill and I addressed this in another post to John today.   I evidently missed that one, Dean. Sorry about that. I was wondering if you also consider Zacharius and Elizabeth to have been been righteous and blameless before God.  --------------------------- cd: Yes I do Bill- but their born into sin from the flesh saw need for their salvation. ----------------------------   -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Plains.Net, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Plains.Net, and is believed to be clean.
