Wrong thread.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?

I probably should have addressed the OP to those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week.
amrchaos,
re: "...why not ask a Christian Theologian/Biblical scholar that specializes on the issues surrounding the crucifixion?"
I have, and so far no one has provided any writing. Since this is the religion area of the US Forums, I thought someone looking in here might know of some.
Andyfusion,
re: "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."
I find that rather strange since I think the majority believes that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week.
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?

re: "May I ask why it matters?"
When asked by the scribes and Pharisees for a sign of his authority, the Messiah said that the only sign would be His entombment for three days AND three nights. If He didn't spend that time in the tomb, then He would not qualify as the Messiah. So why do you think that it is not important as to the length of time?
Do you know of any writing that was asked for in the OP?
Ok, so you are trying to "discredit" Jesus based on the "particular reading" of a specific Scripture...........I read it as it is written.....both in the KJV and the CJB, and I have no problem understanding that Jesus was in the tomb for three days and nights......it may not have been a complete 72 hour time, but do not care, nor believe anyone would try to count it down to the very second, and if Jesus was resurrected ONE OR TWO seconds early, they would then PROCLAIM: AHA! SEE! HE IS NOT THE MESSIAH!
Don't forget when Jesus spoke of destroying the Temple, and He said He would raise it in three days..........and there are other references as well. Buy yourself a KJV, or other translation, and spend some time studying...........there is much to learn...
