Davy, re: "It wasn't an idiom or figure of speech, nor anything like that. 3 days and 3 nights means literally 3 days and 3 nights..." You believe that, and I believe that, but some (actually the majority) of 6th day of the week crucifixion folks believe that there were only 2 nights...

Davy, re: "Jesus was not speaking colloquially when He said His body would be in the ground for 3 days and 3 nights." That's an issue for a different topic.

Davy, re: "No such 'assertion of commonality' exists..." So if no 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection advocates try to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language, how do they explain it?

FHll, re: "...I don't know what examples you are looking for." This topic is concerned with one issue and only one issue. 1. The Messiah said that three nights would be involved with His time in the "heart of the earth". 2. There are some who believe that the crucifixion took place on the...

FHll, re: "...Jesus died Wednesday and rose Saturday." Since you're not a believer in a 6th day of the week crucifixion, you probably won't know of any examples.

As I said early, this particular topic is really directed to those who believe that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb and who try to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using...

Perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

DPMartin, Your comments in post #366 are with regard to a different issue. This particular topic is really directed to those who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.

pia, re: "It says 'He rose on the 3rd day'....That would have to exclude a third night.. " That's what I just said. Any particular reason for feeling the need to repeat it?

Pilgrimer, If you are correct with your idea of a 6th day of the week crucifixion, how do you account for the lack of a 3rd night?

FHII, re: "Already anawered that question" Yes you did. I don't know what happened to my mind, but it's kinda scary.

FHII, re: " A wednesday burial is the only way everything works. Tell me how with a Friday burial the women bought spices AFTER the Sabbath and prepared them BEFORE the sabbath IF there wasn't 2 separate Sabbaths..." Can you say for sure that the spice shops couldn't have opened - at least...

BreadOfLife, re: "In Jewish communal life part of a day is at times reckoned as one day ; e.g.,..." But what examples do you have which show that no part of a day was reckoned as a day?

BreadOfLife, re: "Because the Bible says that Jesus rose on Sunday - not any other day." Where have I said otherwise? re: "Because some of you are saying that there HAD to be 3 days and 3 nights, which shows a complete ignorance of Jewish culture AND Scripture." I don't see what that...

BreadOfLife, re: "Not eating meat on Fridays was a discipline." Was commiting a mortal sin considered a discipline matter or a doctrinal matter?

BreadOfLife, re: "Not sure why this topic gets dragged out of mothballs every Lenten season." Actually the issue of this particular topic continues all year around. re: "It shows a complete lack of faith in the Word of God." How so? re: "...the Jews reckoned any PART of a day as a...

Davy, re: I understand, but brethren I think would appreciate the events of our Lord's death and resurrection even the more if they understood that there is a Christian Passover, and that Jesus is our Passover Lamb sacrificed for us, like Apostle Paul said." Perhaps. Maybe you could start a...
