Bible Note: Dear Cheri, I agree the substance of the thing is the most important part above the consideration of timing here or trying to understand what Jesus said and what it meant. Here is a question about that timing and explanation you got there... If any part of a day constitutes a day, then why could it not be that; He was crucified Friday morning before the Saturday Sabbath begins, dies before sundown and is buried before 7 at night. He is in the grave by 7 on Friday night when the Sabbath begins counting as day one. He lays in the grave all Saturday and this counts as day two. He lays in the grave through 7 on Saturday night which counts as the beginning of day three and therefore this counts as one whole day. He gets up sometime before Mary arrives still in day three. In this way because any part of a day constitutes a whole day He indeed stays in the grave three days and three nights because any part of a day counts as one twenty four hour period? I don't know what you think of this and please like others in here that mean no harm, but don't understand why I always seem to say something different than what is presented to me, please don't take this as disputing your point or arguing or disagreeing. I am only trying to understand you, but also to see what the Bible actually meant to say... God's Day To You, Tamara |
