Selene, re: "Because you were asking for another published author." And why am I looking for an author?

Lux Veritatis, re: "I am going to die no matter what I choose to believe... Once again, is there any implication in that comment that you think that you can consciously CHOOSE to believe that someone or something does or doesn't exist, or that a certain proposition is or isn't true?

You are a contestant on a game show. There are three curtains. Behind one of the curtains is a new car. You are asked to choose one of the curtains. Lets say that you choose curtain #1. The host of the show, who knows where the car is located so as not to end the game prematurely, opens curtain...

Lux Veritatis, re: "I choose to believe he doesn't..." Is there any implication in that comment that you think that you can consciously CHOOSE to believe that someone or something does or doesn't exist, or that a certain proposition is or isn't true?

Selene, re: "Just because the Gospel of Mark was the only one that stated the day of Christ's resurrection does not mean that Mark is in error." Where did I suggest that he is?

Since it has again been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in will know of an author.

tim_from_pa, re: "Jesus died on a Wednesday, and by sundown Wednesday night..." Actually that would be sundown on Wednesday day and not night. Also, how do you reconcile a 4th day crucifixion with Luke 24:21?

afaithfulone4u, Do you have any information asked for in the OP? BTW, you write: "...God made him [the Messiah] to be sin for us and taking our punishment." What exact punishment did the Messiah take that would otherwise have to be taken by us?

John_8:32, re: "Is scripture not acceptable?" Scripture would be fine. I need to modify the OP a bit, though. "Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a “discussion” with 6th day crucifixion folks, they frequently suggest that it is a Jewish idiom for...

We are now up to post #53 and still only 1 post has mentioned something about the question that the OP asked. However, perhaps someone new looking in will have some documentation.

Stan, re: "I'm pretty sure discussing this further with your will NOT reult in anything constructive." I would guess that would most likely be the case since you continue to deny that you say what you say.

Stan, re: "I didn't say it didn't mean what it says." Sure you did. You said they were figures of speech. Figures of speech are words that don’t literally mean what they say. 　 re: "I didn't ADD anything." When you said that the phrase "the sign of the prophet Jonah" mentioned in Matthew...

Stan, Now I know you’re just messin’ with me. You can’t possibly be serious by thinking that you can simply add words to scripture to support your preconceived notion that there are no contradictions in that scripture.

Stan, re: " ONE says NO sign and the other says NO sign ACCEPT. Not understanding the different figure of speach is NOT a contradiction." Which one is the figure of speech, i.e. not literally meaning what it says, and how do you know?

Stan, re: " ...explain how the 2 verses you supplied in post 109, contradict on another..." 　 Be happy to; the one verse says there IS a sign and the other verse says there ISN"T.

Stan, re: "Really.... I have to explain that to you?" 　 Apparently you do. Are you saying that 2 different generations were being referred to by the Messiah - an evil one and one that wasn't? That the evil one would be given a sign but that the other one wouldn't be given a sign?

Stan, re: "These two verses do NOT represent the same time in scripture." What difference does that make?

kepha31, re: "Do you think Mark means Jesus rose on the fourth day?" I don’t see why not. Assuming a Thursday crucifixion, that day could be the 1st day, Friday could be the 2nd day, Saturday could be the 3rd day and Sunday could be the 4th day.

kepha31, re: "The latter verse having more detail does not mean it is a contradiction." 　 So using that reasoning, when Luke 18:33 says that He will rise ON the third day, and Mark 8:31 says that the Messiah will rise AFTER three days, Mark is simply supplying more detail by including the word...

Mark 8:12 - "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation" Luke 11:29 - "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet."
