Matthew 12:40

[Picaro]

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

So basically you're just going to reject any answers but the one you decided was right. Okay, nothing to see here. You and Rosie should discuss what Constantine meant by it, since according to her he rewrote it all to suit himself. That would be more fun.

Of course. Can you tell me why I should accept replies which don't provide 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 be?

Well, my response was to your using the phrase "the heart of the earth" which is just a metaphor that was as common then as the phrase "the belly of the beast" was and remains to this day. This changes everything about the topic making your questions about daytime and nighttime very silly

Three days, nights, six days, nighttime, daytime, WTF. You are missing the point of the story.

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 shows that the phrase x days and xnights was ever used in the first century or before when it absolutely didnt include at least parts of the x days and at least parts of the x nights?

Love it when Cultists get so wrapped in their Gobbledygook that they forget that the rest of the world sees how Gullible and immature they are .
Baby Babblers .

Firstly, my post was to Picaro. Secondly, your argument would be with those who think that "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb. Those are to whom this topic is directed which means that this topic doesn't apply to you

lol... The "heart of the earth" is a metaphor for the same type of death spoken of in reference to Jonah who was in the belly of the beast which applies perfectly to this topic and your obsessions over days and nights are just showing that you understand neither scripture nor the power of God

Excellent work!

What the "heart of the earth" is actually referring to is irrelevant to this topic.

nor the power of God

You don’t believe God has any power.

Paying you back in your own coin.

 

[rstrats]

Please explain what that has to do with providing examples which show that it was common to say that a daytime or a night time would be involved with an event when no daytime or no night time could be.

Thanks.

This is simply amazing - out of 270 posts, only one has even partially been responsive to the issue of the topic with one possible example.

pacer,

Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid I don't see what is has to do with my question in the OP. I wonder if you might explain why you think that it does?

Good Friday crucifixion, Sunday morning resurrection (Easter), is an invention of the RCC.

Probably because your OP is rather confusing, with the "X's" and all.

It was clarified in posts 7, 8, 17, 22, 34 and several after.

I do not think you will find such an answer on a general forum, since extremely few believe in 6 days crucifixion.

That belief system is exceptionally small, and limited. You'll need to go to a forum devoted to those who believe in such a small ideology.

I personally have never met anyone who believed in such a thing.

Expecting to find information here on such an isolated belief system, is like asking about the doctrine of the Thozhiyur Sabha church. With a massive 30K members, all based in India, who generally don't speak any common tongue. Yeah, good luck finding that out.

Most of the one/plus Billion nominal Christians believe in the 6th day (Friday) crucifixion.

And remember, the someone new needs to be someone who thinks the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to when His spirit leaves His body and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
