Hi, Rstrats... Eighteen months on the same topic, certainly must represent a new monothematic record. As that time frame only has to do with your participation in this forum, it is even more remarkable that this obsession appears to span multiple forums. Since this all consuming preoccupation has been going on so long, perhaps some new topic might warrant your attention. The Scripture has much to say, I can affirm with great certainty, having far greater impact on your life here and now. Shifting your attention to other things, will be the evidence of a genuine desire for truth. In Him, Doc |

DocTrinsograce, re: "Shifting your attention to other things, will be the evidence of a genuine desire for truth." How will shifting my attention to other things provide the truth about the assertion that Matthew 12:40 is using common Jewish idiomatic language? |

No I haven't. Do you know for a fact that your references show where a daytime or a night time was counted as a daytime or a night time when no part of the daytime or no part of the night time actually occurred? | ||||||

That would take some closer reading of the texts to determine. In Matt 4:2 Jesus fasts 40 days and 40 nights then becomes hungry. Other than being sinless why wouldn't he be hungry much sooner. In Deut 9:9,18 Moses not only doesn't eat he also doesn't drink. People can't go 40 days without water unless its a miracle. Because the form x days and x nights are only used for 3, 7 and 40 in the Bible it seems symbolic. | ||||||
