Three Days?

[April_Rose]

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.

If we are to take it literally though He died on Friday and rose again Sunday morning. So He was dead less than two full days in that sense.

I have given a very full explanation in post 25. Context, examples, everything.
.

And it is wrong.

Not that I don't believe Christ of course as maybe He was doing different kinds of math that were previously mentioned lol and I'm talking about the difficult kind.

Light and dark counted as a day. It was light when Jesus was crucified and then it went dark when he died. That was day one.

Then the light returned on the Friday I think at 3 pm and it went dark again at the normal time. According to how they counted days, that was two days.

Saturday was the third day.

Tell that to the scholars.

It is not like the writers of the Gospels and of the rest of the NT was not aware of this. No one addressed this because I do not think it was a matter of math. Not a miscalculation...a cliché. Christ did not apologize for being early! LOL

LOL The scholars are the ones that are on my side. What you are talking about are the apologists. Not biblical scholars.

Fine. Whatever. Amadeus and the Greek Orthodox priest had it right in post 5.

The problem being is that He was crucified on Friday. I have already proved the following day was the full moon of the Passover. And that no other calculation works.

Full moon proof? I proved Wednesday and no other math works. The confusion you have is over a regular Sabbath from a special Sabbath.

 

[Cooper]

Your scholars say there has to be three mornings and three evenings for there to be three days. And there are.

Wrong again....now we have a math equation...1 + 1 + 1 = 3....There ya go...but does three wrongs make a right?

The full moon occurs on Friday night Saturday morning in April of 30 ad. No other math works.

Oh my gosh.....missing a night......!!!
Friday night
Saturday night
Oppps...not a Sunday night.
Pay attention!

I cannot stand this. I need to put you on ignore.

LOL I imagine its painful to be proven wrong on the most simple of things. Have a blast....no offense taken.

I guess nowadays daylight has miraculously lengthened then. Unless of course it went dark due to the fact that Christ died.

 

[Cooper]

It did. As you say it went dark when Jesus died and the veil in the Temple was rent in two.

In Scripture, it is known Jesus died at 3 pm (Matt. 27:46, Mk. 15:34), and resurrected very early on the first day of the week (Matt. 28:1, Mk. 16:2, Mk. 16:9, Lk. 24:1, Jn. 20:1) which was Sunday. Jesus has elaborated by saying,

"The fervent prayers of Mary have anticipated My resurrection by some time.

I had said: 'The Son of man is about to be killed, but on the third day He will rise from the dead.' I died at three o'clock in the afternoon of Friday. Whether you count the days by their names, or you count them by their hours, it was not the dawn on Sunday that was to see Me rise. With regard to the hours, they were only thirty-eight instead of seventy-two, in which My body had remained lifeless. With regard to the days, it should have been the evening of the third day to say that I had been in the sepulcher for three days.

But Mary anticipated the miracle. As when with Her prayers She opened the Heavens a few years in advance of the predetermined time, to give to the world its Salvation, so now She obtains some hours in advance to give comfort to Her dying heart.

And I, at the beginning of dawn on the third day, descended like the sun and with My brightness I broke the human seals, so useless before the power of a God, with My power I prized open and overthrew the stone watched over in vain, with My apparition like lightning, I knocked down the utterly useless guards place as guardians of a death that was Life, that no human power could prevent from being such." (The Poem of the Man-God: Volume V, by Maria Valtorta)

You just keep repeatedly posting the same thing. :/

That's right I remember that.

I was just having this discussion earlier today. How could have Jesus rose again three days later when He supposedly died on Friday and rose again Sunday morning? I also hear speculation that it was also after 3 pm but I'm not sure where people have gotten that part since it's not in the Bible. I also heard that it was part of Jewish tradition that a soul stayed with a body until the third day so I get the significance of why Jesus would choose to rise again three days later,.. but I don't really think that it was three days though. (Not like it's that important of when He rose just the fact that He did, but with Easter right around the corner this thought came up in my mind.)

Friday is not Saturday or Sunday.
But Friday is the day He died. So a portion of Friday counts as the first day.
All day Saturday...counts as one whole Day.

Then a very small portion of Sunday morning...so that counts as the third day.

And that's how the Jews counted things.

That's highly specific and accurate prophecy.
