To what are you referring by "it".

...what I think you were referring to in your post #238 overview of the timing of the Crucifixion, interment, and Resurrection of Christ.

Good. I'm sure you will find plenty that will clarify the matter for you.

You think incorrectly. That's an issue for a different topic.

I still don't see to what you're referring.

Yes you do. You're just...pretending...cough. You know full well what I am getting at as I have shown the emptiness of your argument. I have shown your deceptive riddle for what it is.

Read your riddle in post #(1). Read post #(213).

Your riddle is made for your answer. All has been explained from posts (1-206). Perhaps there is someone out there who is new who can help you out? Or perhaps you have something new to offer?

But, I doubt it.

Examples of what?

Examples which show that it was common to say that a daytime or a night time would be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night could be involved.

And remember, the "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.

I wonder if anyone who falls in that group of believers could provide examples to support that belief; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime and/or no part of the night time could have occurred?

It was the end of a day, two nights with a day in between, then at most the first few moments of other day.

That would be an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you might start one.

So this one is just about Bible trivia? OK. I can go with that.

Such questions do sometimes make for interesting speculation, such as "What did Jesus look like?" or "Where did the three wise men come from? "

It's been said; the picture of Jesus on the western wall looks most like him.

Actually, the title should be "Examples of Common Figure of Speech"?


1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth"

2. There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.

3. Of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.

4. A 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved.

5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, some of those mentioned above say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language.

6. I wonder if anyone who falls in that group of believers could provide examples to support that belief; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime and/or no part of the night time could have occurred?

Those are the ones that do not read their Bible, because that's not what it says!

You can't take spiritual advice from unbelievers!

Maybe this question should also be answered: "What difference does it make to us on which day the Resurrection took place? "
Click to expand...

Right! The important thing is, that He did get resurrected and is alive today!

I know that for a fact. Ask me how I know, lol.
