And on the third day..,

Recommended Posts

.., He rose again. Sweet Jesus!!


So I'm counting on my fingers here.. He died(?) Friday afternoon.
Saturday afternoon is one day.
He's up and gone early Sunday morning!!!!
Might have been up and gone Saturday afternoon!!!


Certainly there weren't three days.!!!

Friday to Saturday is one.
Saturday to Sunday morning is about a half !!!

So he died and was resurected in a day and a half.
Kinda changes the Apostles Creed a bit .


Peace,
Jim B

You're a bit late with this observation aren't you?

Wasn't Easter a few weeks ago?



I guess it was Mr Quade!!!
On the other hand it may be that I'm a bit early as I have a *feeling* it just may roll around again next year !

But while I have you here , how many days do you count from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning?

Peace,

Well, I didn't write the damn book, but I have thought about this before.

The other thing you need to think about is HOW a day was tallied in that time. Whereas most of us today think of a day beginning at 00:01 and a farmer 200 years ago would have thought of a day as being from sunrise to sunrise, at that time a "day" was from sunset to sunset (as is still the custom in several Middle Eastern religious calendars).

In any case, I've never understood the three day thing, but then again, that was something I figured out around age 10.

Yes Quade, that's probably where I fail,


I've always considered a day as from the time I wake up (around 6:30 a nap after coffee at 7:30 and waking again at 9;30 , lunch 12 30 and a nap. Cofffee time at 430 . dinner at 730 . But twenty four back to 630 am.

LOL!!!

What the hell, people? An agnostic like myself has to come in here and explain your own religion to you?

The Bible does not say it took three days for Jesus to rise from the dead. What it DOES say is that he rose and left the tomb on the third day of his death. Friday was the first day, Saturday was the second, and Sunday was the third.

In the grand scheme of things, it is not all that important to know what day of the week Christ was crucified. If it were very important, then God's Word would have clearly communicated the day and timeframe. What is important is that He did die and that He physically, bodily rose from the dead. What is equally important is the reason He died—to take the punishment that all sinners deserve. John 3:16 and 3:36 both proclaim that putting your trust in Him results in eternal life! This is equally true whether He was crucified on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.

On a side note, you've got to try and understand Scripture from their perspective and not your, from their cultural standpoint and not yours, figure out what the author was intending to convey instead of smashing your definitions into their words.

Barney: Jesus waited THREE days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited ONE day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, "Hey Jesus, what up?" and Jesus would probably be like, "What up? I DIED yesterday!" and they'd be all, "Uhh, you look pretty alive to me, dude..." and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like "Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro..." And he's not gonna come back on a SATURDAY. Everybody's busy, doing chores, workin' the loom, trimmin' the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, THREE. Plus it's SUNDAY, so everyone's in church already, and they're all in there like "Oh no, Jesus is DEAD", and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin' up the aisle, everyone's totally psyched, and FYI, that's when he invented the high five. That's why we wait three days to call a woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait.... True story

He would wait three days!
Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

answersingenesis.org?

yep, the bastion of scientific study.

In what journals has it been published (Other than other contributors to answersingenesis.org)

The explanation of Photosynthesis is not too bad, given my limited biological knowledge, but I love how the article explains photosynthesis, and then wraps it up by saying:

I prefer to put my faith in the Word of the living God who says, “‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ And it was so.”

without one grain of evidence to support how Genesis accomplishes photosynthesis, other than is SIMPLY DOES....

just goes to show that almost any nutjob can get a Phd.

The Bible doesn't say he was dead for three days. It says he rose on the third day.

The day he got crucified was Day 1, not day 0. There were no computer engineers back then.

Actually they had yet to come up with the number 0.

But as the Biblical account has him already out of the tomb at dawn when the ladies arrived isn't it more likely that he was gone during the night of the second day? He may have even left the tomb Friday night or during the day on that Sabbath as no one would approach/ inspect the grave on the Sabbath.

Jews count a day from sunset to sunset, not as we do, so dead on Friday (day 1). Friday at sunset a new day starts (day 2). Saturday at sunset starts a new day (day 3). So, even if Jesus rose on Saturday night it would be the 3rd day.
