To the Jew it's considered the sign of Jonas, and no it is not a western "day" it is purely 'nightfall to nightfall' Jewish days.
Were they supposed to take it as simply a metaphor for "completion"?
I am a sucker for biblical timelines and this by far benefits the "high day" Sabbath that is...
Interesting. But where do you see a hole in the explanation I presented which I believe actually fits perfectly?
I have no problem with Good Friday and Easter as observed in tradition, Christmas is an observance of his birth but we know it to not be accurate...
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

The Jewish 'day' begins at sunset, if Jesus spent three days and three nights why are we always told that Jesus was buried Friday evening and was resurrected Sunday morning? That's barely 36 hours, no where near 3 days...
Thoughts?

I hear unique music in my dreams usually every night, and it plays over and over lol I wake up and it still plays in my head for a while. It sounds better in the dream but when I sing it after I dreamt it I find it very monotone and boring so I drop it lol.
It borders on "baby shark doo doo doo...
A 9 month old fetus is a human, it doesn't 'not' become a clump of cells just because the mother finished labor. It doesn't magically become a human after it is born into the world, these are personalities that can feel, can suck it's thumb, can yawn, and is very aware. Again, in late abortion...
Howdy from Texas! I also play guitar, been playing for about 20 years... I can't drum for the life of me though.
