Subject: Was Jesus actually in the tomb 3 days? |
Bible Note: If you have a dear loved one who just died on a Friday, and you are talking about it with someone on Sunday, what would you say? He's been dead 3 days now. Although it may not be a full 72 hours you still say that. Read my other post. (cited from: me) PS. I am no Russellite. He died many years ago. I am a follower of God's word, and the truth it contains. Just trying to help you all out. |
