Three Days and Three Nights

It was not addressed correctly though.

I seriously doubt you are qualified to make that determination seeing as how
the blunder you made in post No.835 questions the reliability of the remainder
of your thoughts about crucifixion week-end.

So let me ask.

I suggest cutting your losses.

You are joking!

And again, that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period.

Sheol is an Old Testament word that's sometimes transliterated instead of
translated; likely because there is so much controversy about its meaning.

During Jonah's nautical adventure, he spent some time in sheol (Jonah 2:2)
which is a region that he placed at the bottoms of the mountains. (Jonah
2:6)

Well, Jonah's fish was under the sea rather than under the mountains, and
seeing as how no part of a mountain is located in a fish's tummy, then we
can be reasonably certain that Jonah and his body parted company; implying
that Jonah was alive for some of the time during his three days and nights in
the fish but not the whole time; which corroborates Jonah 2:9 that the
prophet's body underwent putrefaction and would've completely destroyed
him beyond recognition had not God resurrected him in time to stop the
process from getting out of hand.

Jesus appropriated Jonah's experience to illustrate his own. Jesus predicted
that at some time during his three days and nights deceased, he would be in
the heart of the Earth. (Matt 12:40)

Well; Jesus' body was laid to rest on the surface of the Earth; so in order for
him to be down inside the Earth at same time, he and his body had to part
company. In other words: Jesus spent some of his three days and nights at
the bottoms of the mountains, i.e. sheol. And he too was resurrected in time
to stop the process of putrefaction from getting out of hand. (Ps 16:8-10
and Acts 2:25-32)

Webers_Home,

Your post # 844 deals with an issue for a different topic. Maybe you could start one.

Mr. rstrats; if you haven't found your requested documentation by now,
after nine years and 800+ comments (on this forum, not to mention other
forums across the web) I think you really should consider your search a lost
cause and surrender this thread to better uses.

That has certainly been the case so far, but you never know, there could be someone visiting this topic in the future who knows of examples.

It's like someone looking for a needle in a haystack who forgot it's a needle he's looking for.

I have been away for quit some time, please do not dig me about my spelling!!!
Can anyone count to one? can anyone count to three? Our Savior said that there would be ONE Sign, thats 1, and the sign of Jonah being in the belly of the great fish, for 3 days and 3 nights, Can anyone get three days and three nights from Good Friday, the day that Dagon the fish god was worshiped, to Easter Sunday, which represents the goddes of fertility, I would suspect that no one on this Forum could!

Good point. Suppose Jesus stayed in a motel, did he pay the motel for three nights or two?

If the motel marquee said “Days INN’, He probably was not there at NIGHT.

Since it's been a while, maybe someone new looking in may know of examples.

Or a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat, that isn't there.

[L.A.M.B.]

Jesus said this of his own death,
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jesus, being a Jew, knowing how they marked time, firmly stated the above..... what's to minutely question or dispute ?

In those 3 days & nights he did the work of Father, as God !
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” (John 5:25.)

And that John 5:25 verse is connected to the 1 Peter 3:18-20 event of Christ having preached The Gospel to the "spirits in prison", and per Isaiah 42:7 leading those who believed out of Satan's heavenly prison house.

Still won't changed the actual timing per Bible Scripture.

Those who want to change the events of crucifixion week are mainly those of the old early Church traditionalists who want to claim Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Think what a Wednesday crucifixion would mean to their 'traditions' they built upon their Friday observance, even though the Scriptures reveal Jesus was indeed crucified on a Wednesday and rose Sunday morning early, literally after 3 days and 3 nights per the Hebrew reckoning.
