Zone1 Common Figure of Speech/Colloquial Language?

[LibertyKid]

If I may break in to all these off topic comments for a moment, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

What is it that you're trying to discover or prove that hasn't already been stated?

Why would you reply to a topic that you are unqualified to answer?

Read post #1. No one has of yet stated, i.e., provided actual 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 time could have occurred.

As Ding said, interesting point. IMO, the Romanization of Christianity was terrible for Christianity. However, had Christianity taken off in the Jewish world, what would it look like today, and what would the world look like?

I suspect you are right that if Christianity grew within the Jewish ranks, they would have hoarded the gospel, just like they hoarded 'god' and were essentially isolationists in their belief system.

The Middle East and Europe would probably be Muslim with a small number of Jews and Jewish Christians in isolated pockets.

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

A reference Jesus made about Jonah who spent three days "in the belly of the beast".

Jesus spent thirty years, three days, "in the heart of the earth", as dead as Moses was for half his life, tempted by the devil in the wilderness, (outside the jurisdiction of Jewish law), while living among the wild beasts (the Romans) presumably doing what Romans do in the wilderness.

And then left the whitewashed tomb, a comparison he made to pharisaic beliefs and practices.

And then ascended into heaven, little by little, day by day, until he was crucified, and rose again, appearing to his friends in dreams which convinced them he was righteous and survived death.

Those are issues for a different topic. Maybe you could start one.

How many victims of crucifixion can you name?

Two, Jesus and Joan of Arc
