Absolutely. There were 2 events the Jews were celebrating.

This was very good. Explains it well. In my opinion, as long as we worship the Father in the Name of the Son, Jesus Christ, we are doing what is asked of us. He atoned for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was crucified and Rose from the dead, resurrected so that we may also be resurrected. Wednesday or Friday, Friday or Sunday, is that the letter of the law or the spirit of the law? I cannot condemn my Catholic friends for following the spirit of the Law. Can you?

I think the truth is very important.

I'm pretty skeptical. All of these churches claiming they are the "one true church" that can trace their lineage back to the original church that Christ set up. All of them say the other churches are wrong.

The truth is...I don't think any of us really know the truth.

How long was a day in Jesus' time?

24 hours.

Any more silly questions?

I gave up listening after I spent two minutes listening to the guy and all he did was blather on about nothing.

Actually, that is not right. In Jesus' day, they had no clocks or timepieces other than the shadow of the Sun on a sundial. An actual day today is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds long. We only count it as 24 hours for simplicity sake then add in Leap Years ever few years to adjust.

So in Jesus' day, a day was probably more like 23 hours, 55 minutes, and 56 seconds long as the Earth is slowly spinning down due to dynamic braking from the Moon.

when he was at byu he was the best deep thrower Ive ever seen

In fact, Egyptians used the concept of an "hour" for dividing both night and day into twelve portions each, equivalent to the modern hour.

By the Hellenistic period and later in Roman occupied Judea, the concept of 24 equal time periods in a day was firmly established and it was well accepted that any day was made of of 24 hours.

Since an hour -- like every measurement of time -- is arbitrary. If antiquarians chose to state their day was 24 hours long then they were absolutely right to do so. When centuries later it was discovered to not accurately reflect the spinning of the Earth, then it was up to modern man to either change to a more accurate form of measurement or accept, for the sake of convenience, to ignore the discrepancy.

The Earth has been slowing for billions of years and that is, on average 1.18 milliseconds per century or approximately 36 milliseconds in the past 2,000 years. A time imperceptible any anyone prior to the late 19th century and of no practical value to those who might have created scripture.

All fine and good but they had no way of making fine distinctions in time because they had no accurate independent sources like a Stratum 1 or II clock.

So in other words, a "day" is not 24 hours. In fact, back when the dinosaurs were extincted, out "day" was only 23.7 hours long and back as the start of the Jurassic, it was 23.5 hours long.

A "day" can be measured anyway you choose to. Measurements are arbitrary ... an hour, a foot, a gallon, an a millisecond mean only what we agree they mean at any given time.

1,000 years ago, a "foot" was was the local monarch's shoe size. A gallon was how much liquid it took to fill up a wine barrel of the time, and an hour was 1/12th of the time it took from Dawn to Dusk.

It's pointless to argue that measurements aren't accurate from one century to another as their definitions vary from one century to another.

Wrong. What is arbitrary are the time units you use, but the actual length of time it takes for the Earth to complete one diurnal rotation about its axis is rather fixed.

No. It changes over time.

For people who were not aware of the Earth's rotational physics, a "Day" was Sunset to Sunset -- a practical measurement that had meaning to them.

How we in the 21st Century choose to define a day may be quite different to people in another 2,000 years who are perceiving the effects of time cross-dimensionally.

- where is the roman manifest for the guy walking around they just put in their grave after crucifying him on a cross.

oh, there he is, we just killed him ...

jesus would still be considered by them a criminal, they would be put back in jail "an escapee" - did he use thunderbolts this time ...

maybe the 10 commandments are not the biggest lie of all time ... easter has always been the least believable religious event of all time only desert dwellers and their delusions could make into a hallmark of their beliefs.

And they could only guess precise time down to minutes.

Nope. A day is one full rotation of the Earth axis. If our definition of a day was truly based on one complete rotation of the Earth on its axis — a 360 degree spin — then a day would be 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This is nearly 4 minutes shorter than our 24-hour standard day. The mismatch of nearly 4 minutes is because the Earth must rotate more than 360 degrees between one dawn and the next — it not only spins on its axis, but it also travels in orbit around the sun. In a period of one day, the Earth travels about 1/365 of the way around the sun, therefore the Earth has to spin an extra degree in order to line up with the sun again each day. The result is that one complete cycle of sunlight and darkness — one day — represents a rotation of about 361 degrees, not 360 degrees. Although a year consists of 365 and a quarter days, the Earth actually spins 366 and a quarter times during a year. From the standpoint of sunrises and sunsets, one complete spin is negated each year by the journey around the sun.

Nope. A day is one full rotation of the Earth axis.

those living on mars would likely use the planet they are living on in reference to daylite and nightime being the primary reason for why the time is being determined.
