Davy, re: "You're right, since the 6th day crucifixion idea is nonsense." I agree that it doesn't fit with the Messiah's prophesy. But I think that the majority of folks think that it did take place on the 6th day of the week. It is to them that the topic is really directed.

Davy, Since you're not 6th day of the week crucifixion advocate, you probably won't know of any examples.

Since it's been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in might know of examples.

kepha31, You have a couple of questions directed to you in post #87.

The Messiah said as Jonah was 3 days and 3 nights in the fish that He would spend 3 days and 3 nights in the "heart of the earth". How could it be said that He was in the "heart of the earth" during the period from 9 through 3?

kepha31, re: "Part of a day counts as a day, and part of a night counts as a night." But where was a day ever counted as a day when no part of a day could have occurred? Or where was a night ever counted as a night when no part of a night could have occurred?

Richard_oti re: "As I also am not a proponent of a sixth day crucifixion, I do not know of any examples." No problem. Someone new looking in may know of examples.

ScottA, re: "Evening. The eve of the cross." Matthew 26:17 - "Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, 'Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?'" Was this asked sometime during the night of the 13th of the...

VictoryinJesus, re: "If anyone else has scripture they want to present before the brethern for feedback yet they don't want to begin a new thread, this is the place. This thread is open to any topic; open to any scripture that causes questions." In Matthew 12:40 the Messiah says that He will...

"ByGrace", e: "Agree the opening post was a bit of a shamble. It may be interesting had it asked better questions etc" As I said to bbyrd009, I've attempted to do that in several subsequent posts.

To counter the idea that only 3 calendar days were involved let's start with 3 verses: 1. Matthew 12:40 has the Messiah saying that 3 days and 3 nights would be involved with His time in the "heart of the earth". The following comment is predicated on the belief that "the heart of the earth" is...

liafailrock, Since you're not a 6th day of the week crucifixion believer you probably won't know of examples.

DPMartin, re: "...on Thursday the Lord began to enter the heart of the earth." Since you're not a 6th day of the week crucifixion advocate, you probably won't know of any examples.

bbyrd009, re: "if i get this, essentially you are asking how the resurrection could occur on Sunday if the trial was not held until Shabbat midnight or thereabouts, right? And the crucifixion thus could not have happened before Saturday. Is that right?" No, not for the purpose of this topic...

bbyrd009, re: "you might rephrase the question in the op, it isn't as clear as it could be." I've done that in a number of earlier posts, but most recently in posts #256 a 278.

Since it's been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

kepha31, re: "...we speak of a 'three-day vacation' and that we returned 'after three days or 'on the third day.' A literal “three 24-hour day trip” would end at 8 AM on Tuesday. Such descriptions are understood, then, as non-literal. The ancient Jews and Romans simply added the clause 'and...

BreadOfLife re: "...Esther asked the people to pray for '3 days and nights' before she was to go and see the King (Esth. 4:15-16)." Actually, the passage doesn't say that. It has Esther asking the people to fast and to "neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day". And nothing...

Since we're now into the 4th quarter of the year, maybe someone new looking in will know of examples as requested in the OP and clarified in further posts. And again, remember that the purpose of this topic is not to discuss how long the Messiah was in the heart of the earth. As stated, there...

Boaz, re: "12 hrs is in a day 12 hrs in a night " And 7 days are in a week. But neither one has anything to do with my question.
