eve,How would the topic apply to me or to anyone? In your opinion.
That would be an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you might start one.I have personally always believed that most likely Christ was crucified on Thursday not Friday ... Friday would have been the Sabbath as well as the first day of passover and I do not believe the priests would have been encouraging His death on the Sabbath...
"Three days" is used by Hebrew idiom for any part of three days and three nights is not disputed; because that was the common way of reckoning, just as it was when used of years. Three or any number of years was used inclusively of any part of those years, as may be seen in the reckoning of the reigns of any of the kings of Israel or Judah.1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth".
2. There are some who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.
3. And of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to the moment when His spirit left His body).
4. However, a 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.
5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of those mentioned above who try to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
6. I'm simply curious if anyone who may fall in the above group of believers might provide examples to support the belief of commonality; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred.
I take scripture literally. The heart of the earth is not a tomb as in a physical burial place in this world.
The events are describing something in the other world.
If I had any examples I wouldn't have had any reason start this topic.Okay. So is there a specific example or line that you are applying this position to?
Specifically what is it that you don't understand?I simply do not understand your OP
We know from the Bible that the crucifixion took place during daylight prior to the beginning of the Sabbath at nightfall, IOW on Friday.I don't know what day of the week He died on. It's usually marked on Friday, Good Friday, but that is a Roman Custom and
they also made other calendar changes as well as altered scripture. I don't trust any of that.
What difference does it make? Technical difficulties will be resolved in you when you receive from God that what Jesus received from Him in Matt 3:16. All of His knowledge will be opened to you as well. if you will receive from Him the same.kamaeq,
re: "... the crucifixion took place during daylight prior to the beginning of the Sabbath at nightfall, IOW on Friday."
Do you account for the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language?
Different subject? All I did was ask you a question about your post.Gary Mac,

That would be an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you could start one.
So actually what it amounts to is you are unable to answer my question.Gary Mac,
re: "Different subject?"
Yes. Your question has nothing to do with being able to provide examples.
No problem, just laying out why it is Good Friday and Easter Sunday, not some other days of the week.I am not arguing. I already asked the poster what was the point of the op? The important thing now is to come to Him.
