John_8:32, re: "That is assuming that all the other scriptures that show it was exactly 72 hours are incorrect..." 　 I’m not aware of any scriptures that say that the 3 days and 3 nights absolutely had to account for 72 hours. What do you have in mind? John_8:32, re: "So they bought the...

John_8:32, re: "Remember that commas were not part of the original manuscripts, but were added much later, so what this is saying is that after Christ rose, early on the first day He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. The time is not referring to when He arose but when He appeared to Mary M."...

Well, we’re up to post #43 and only 1 post has mentioned something about the question that the OP asked. However, perhaps someone new looking in will have some documentation.

veteran, re: "Then maybe you have a split personality???" Why do you ask that question and what is the point of your post #38? All I can see is you’re restatement of your inappropriate referencing of Matt.28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, and John 20:19 that you offered in your post #27...

veteran, 　 re: "I think you need to take your 'reading' problems somewhere else. Afterall, you yourself quoted those other Scriptures that I posted." 　 I think you have me confused with someone else because I haven’t done that. Why would I?

veteran, re: " And it MUST be reckoned using the Hebrew calendar reckoning of the day, not the later Gregorian calendar instituted in the 16th century A.D. that we still use today. 　 I’m afraid I don’t see what difference it makes with regard to the 3 light periods and the 3 dark periods. I...

veteran, re: "That’s not correct...Matt 28:1-6...Luke 24: 1-3...John 20:1-2" 　 Sure it is. Nowhere in those verses does it say when the resurrection actually took place. They only say that the tomb was empty when the women got there on the first of the week. They don't say when it became empty.

re: "...He rose, on Sunday morning before dawn, the first day of the week (Matt.28:1; Mark 16:2; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1; John 20:19)." Only Mark 16:9, as it is translated in the KJV and similar versions, places the resurrection on the first day of the week.

THE Gypsy, 　 re: "Using leprechauns as an example is a little difficult for people who are seeking truth." I don’t know why. It shouldn’t matter what the issue is if beliefs can be obtained by simply CHOOSING to have them. 　 re: "As far as ‘instantaneous transition from lack of belief to...

A number of folks on these boards are saying or at least implying that they can consciously CHOOSE to believe things. If you are one of them perhaps you can help me. I have never been able to consciously CHOOSE any of the beliefs that I have and I would like to be able to do that. If you think...

dragonfly, re: "Amen" Hebrew calendar or Gregorian calendar; I don’t see what difference it makes regarding the light periods and the dark periods that the Messiah said He would be in the heart of the earth. Using either one comes out the same with regard to the number of light/dark periods.

joshhuntnm, re: " In rabbinical thought a day and a night make an onâh, and a part of an onâh is as the whole ...Thus according to Jewish tradition, 'three days and three nights' need mean no more than ‘three days’ or the combination of any part of three separate days." That quote by Rabbi...

Axehead, re: "Wasn't the Jewish calendar lost for a time? I thought I read about that. So, no one knows if Friday today is Friday 2,000 years ago. (http://en.wikipedia....ewish_calendar)" The link is referring to years and not the continuity of the days of the week. The "Catholic...

Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a "discussion" with 6th day crucifixion folks, they frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone has documentation that shows that the phrase "x" days and...

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

Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid I don't see where the St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist Church argues for a change of observance from the seventh day to the first day.

With regard to everlasting conscious tormenting, are we really to believe that sin is so repugnant to God, but TORTURE isn't? I just don’t understand why people want to believe that the fate of the unsaved is to spend eternity in conscious torment when there is simply no clear scripture to...

A poster on another board, the topic of which was questioning the authenticity of the last 12 verses in the book of Mark, wrote that it doesn’t really matter because there is no doctrinal teaching in Mark 16:9-20 that cannot be proved elsewhere in agreed Scripture. 　 I made the mistake of...
