Brother Paul,
Post #128 is my post, but I don't see what your post #129 has to do with it? I wonder if you might explain why you think that it does?
Again I must apologize to you B o C, but I do not mind, humility is a good thing. It was post 125 where I thought (and I may be incorrect) that AB was implying this meant a Wednesday evening crucifixion...whatever day (and I believe the afternoon of the sixth day) is was in between the 6th to 9th hour of the daylight portion (see Morning in verse 1). He replied that this was not the case, which is fine with me....I misunderstood why he even said it and still in the context of the conversation cannot for the life of me figure what his point was, but that aside, I still have gotten no sensible answer to this simple question. If after "3 days and 3 nights" in literal, then on what day did He rise...the third or the fourth? He says on the third but lets do the math
1st day + 1st night, then 2nd day + 2nd night, and then 3rd day + third night "in the heart of the earth...yet he says he agrees He rose ON the Third day....now let me get this straight
He was "in the heart of the earth" the entire 3rd of the days and 3rd of the nights...
but He also rose ON THE third day....
Is this not a blatant contradiction? Can one have it both ways? I think not. Do others see this?
Okay so...Lets not use Roman terms...in the morning they decided to kill Him, later that day (around 6th hour of the morning/daylight portion they crucified Him, the darkness fell and he hung there till He died around the 9th hour of the morning/daylight portion of day one (rising ON the third of the 3 days). He was also buried on this selfsame first of the three days. So not in the heart of the earth the entire 1st of the three days...but indeed put into the heart of the earth on this very day...
