    Three Days and Three Nights

    preacher4truth, re: "I'm contented with the possibility that it was a figure of speech." But was it a common figure of speech? In other words, was it common to forecast or say that a daytime or a night time would be or was involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    povawiqe, re: "The Messiah was indeed entombed 3 days and 3 nights. He was not crucified on a Friday..." Then this topic does not apply to you. It is intended for those who believe the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who think the "heart of the earth" refers to the...

    Endoscopy, re: "You ignore the fact that day has multiple meanings." Because that's an issue for a different topic. re: "The second error you have is he was not buried on Friday. " If it's an error, it's not my error. It would be an error with those who think the burial was on the 6th day...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Endoscopy, re: "In my younger days I was confused by the teachings about the crrucifiction and resurrection with Jesus saying 3 days and nights with the teachers conflating that into Friday to Sunday. It made no sense to me but that's what was taught. Then much later I learned about annual...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Endoscopy, re: "Of what?" 1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" 2. There are some 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...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    This topic is directed to anyone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who thinks the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to the moment when the Messiah's spirit left His body at the time of His death, and who tries to explain the...

    garee, re: "I am trying to find the understanding of the phrase 'heart of the earth' used in parables in the old testament of Jonas 'belly of hell' and the Son of man Jesus 'heart of the earth' Just what those phrases both mean and how it is used in relationship to one another 'belly of hell"...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Endoscopy, re: "Here is your quote. 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...

    Endoscopy, re: "In point of fact it is entirely right on point. I am correcting your assertion about the Sabbath being the weekly Sabbath." Nowhere in this topic have I asserted that the Sabbath is the weekly Sabbath. re: "Too many people ignore there are annual Sabbaths like you did to...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    If I may break into the off topic discussions for a moment, let me repeat the only issue with which this topic is concerned: To account for the lack of a 3rd night, some 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection advocates say that the Messiah was employing common figure...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Endoscopy, re: "You should accept what Jesus said about it." And what He said about it was that 3 nights would be involved with His time in the "heart of the earth". However, a 6th day of the week death/1st day of the week resurrection does not allow for a 3rd night. To account for the...

    Pisteuo, re: "Why would you entertain any other scenario..." I'm trying not to, but I'm afraid I keep letting myself get drawn off topic. This one is concerned with one issue and one issue only. See post #481 on page 25.
