In support of amadeus' Greek Orthodox priest, please let me remind people, day is defined by light, and night is defined by darkness, as was explained by the Greek priest, and a portion of a day is counted as a whole. If I go to the sea-side for the day, I am not there for 24 hours.All kool....

Remember Jesus and the disciples were talking and writing to Hebrews who knew very well that the word for day (yome) means a period of time defined by light and dark. The Greek Orthodox priest was correct and those contemporary to Jesus obviously knew about the period of darkness on the first day followed by the light that marked another new day. They were there and they witnessed it.
When darkness fled away, a new day dawned, praise God. We are now living in the day that the Lord has made. God bless.
I hope to give examples from scripture, so please keep watching and reading.

Trust me when I tell you, I have heard it all. LOL Day and Night. LOL If Christ had said three days....Friday...Saturday....Sunday.... there ya go. But He said went out of His way to say three days and three nights.....LOL You be missing a night. 39 hours vs 72 hours.
Like I said before, if you mess with this then you have to address how they normally think of time. When does the day start....when does it end. It is an interesting topic if someone wants to start it.
In the Jewish tradition it is customary to count the day from the onset of night (i.e., the visibility of three stars in the sky) until after the sunset of the following day. Thus the halakhic ruling: Ha/ailah nimshakh abarei hayom, the night follows (i.e., is part of) the day which comes after it. This method of counting was based upon the language of the Bible in the creation story (Gen. 1) where it says several times "and it was evening, and it was morning, the first (second, third, etc.) day." Because of the language of the Bible, in which the evening is antecedent to the morning, it was reasoned that in the counting of the unit "day," the evening is reckoned to belong to the day which comes after it.

Then you would not say what you just did.

That is what the Bible says, and I am not arguing with scripture.Salutations Cooper...and good morning.
So we are on the battlefield and we get a message...."The Assyrians are going to attack in three days. Be ready." But they attack in 25 hours and we are defeated. This error of understanding would play out in all time keeping. The messenger should not have counted an hour of a day as a whole day. Then again the pretense of telling someone what is going to happen as opposed to telling someone what happened is a little different. And that is another topic. As in Christ saying this, so as His followers would know when to expect His resurrection....Of course the guy with the stopwatch was not there but Christ may have risen before dawn. Another time marker. Did the ladies know? It is all good topics.
The "whole day" argument does not pan out in normal reckoning, much less the fact that Christ specified day...and....night.
You are all presuming that the expression "heart of the earth" means physically dead.
don't sweat it, it was on a, what we call Wednesday, after the Ninth hour, or 3:00 pm or 15:00 hours.
That is what the Bible says, and I am not arguing with scripture.

Just believe Jesus. He said he would rise again on the third day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday are three days, and that is what he did.So you can help us with this. Find where after three days and three nights the ladies came to the tomb.
The whole high horse thing, the soap box and Bible thumping only works if what you have to say is true.
If not I will put you in the category of those that think the world is flat...
Agreed. I've long stated this is the most important fact of the Bible. Just because there is a caring God does not mean logic does not work. Math
Wed @ ~ 3PM Jesus dies. Is put in ground ~dusk.
Thursday @ dusk: Day 1
Friday @ dusk: Day 2
Saturday @ dusk: Day 3
Some like to think Mary missed by minutes the most important fact in all of human history, the resurrection of Jesus. She missed it by nearly 12 hours.
You mention the day of preparation and we see this mentioned in Matthew 27:62-64. This is what it says, "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said (Jesus), while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.".
The day that Jesus was crucified coincides with preparation day (John 18:28
& John 19:14) which is the day during which pious Jews prepare for their
Seder in accord with instructions per the 12th chapter of Exodus.
So then, I do not recommend counting preparation day as one of the three
days that Jesus predicted per Matt 12:40 because the Jews' preparation day
was the day of his own preparation when he too was slain along with all the
other lambs.
And besides, if we count the Jews' prep day, then our chronology will have
only two nights in the tomb instead of three, seeing as how we know from
numerous passages that Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to life during
the hours of daylight. (Post No.22)

I have given a very full explanation in post 25. Context, examples, everything.Always context to consider....You must hate your mother and father your wife your family etc to be my disciple. Biblical understanding is more than reading a sentence.
