There is darkness over the face of the earth from 12 until 3. He is taken down betwee 5 amd 6;He is put in the tomb at 6 in the evening. His body is in the tomb all night Wednesday night(1),all night Thursday night (2),and all night Friday night (3). His body is in the tomb all day Thursday (1), all day Friday (2), all day Saturday (3), and comes out of the tomb after 6 Saturday evening, which is the beginning of the first day of the week. A Jewish "first day" begins at 6 Saturday evening, and the morning would be 6 Sunday morning. 1/17/09 5:32 PM SC  | England    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Mike wrote: Good.

Matthew 28:1 is in the plural. John 19:31 speaks of a special Sabbath (N.I.V.) that is other than the regular Sabbath. 7/19/08 2:10 PM Tidbit    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments The Lone Wolf wrote: DJC49, .on the first day of the week which corresponds to our Sunday, backing up 3 nights and 3 days.

So positing a Thursday afternoon crucifixion would fulfill the prophetical three days and three nights as well as resurrecting on the third day. Just a tidbit of info that I learned from Jewish friends. .their day started at evening. In Genesis we read, there was evening and morning, one day, evening and morning, a second day, and so on. So, 6 p.m. Thurs. for us would be the beginning of Friday for them. 5/24/08 8:00 PM Elkin M.

It is to be proclaimed, not debated.There is ownly two things a sinner needs to know,one that heis a sinner, two that Christ died to save him from his sins, not in his sins. 5/24/08 6:06 PM DJC49  | Florida    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Mike wrote: Hey DJC49, is there a pattern here? I notice if the words are not acceptable enough to stand as spoken, you say it is because they are spoken in "a spiritual sense." Can you explain what that means exactly? Which of the words do not mean what the words say? Three? Days? Nights? Earth? What is the "spiritual" definition of these? When Jesus said this would be "as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly..." was that also said in a "spiritual sense"? What is a spiritual whale, anyway? I hope you visited either one of the 2 websites that I provided hyperlinks for & read the elucidating explanation of what "in the heart of the earth" means as found in Mt 12:40. Look. There's an existential impossibility which arises if both Mt 12:40 & the 14 NT Scriptural passages which speak of "the THIRD day" are LITERALLY true. Something can NOT happen after 3 days & 3 nights AND on "the third day!" Since we KNOW that both MUST be true, there exists only the solution that we have to be interpreting either Mt 12:40 incorrectly or all of the other 14 verses incorrectly. The KEY is understanding that the phrase "HEART of the earth" IS spiritual & metaphorical. Or did you think that Christ was 3 days & nights at the earth's core? 5/24/08 4:25 PM Mike  | New York    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments jille wrote: I am convinced that all these 'surveys' do is cause division.

Too much time is wasted on personal views, then debated with scripture as to whose view is right. Christ did not call us to argue and disagree amongst ourselves, What a great idea? Stifle Debate?????? Read your Bible and note how Christ debated with the Pharisees/Sadducees - and I'm sure many other people. Please don't discourage communication between Christians - after all what we exchange is doctrine and all too often that never happens in the church. Debate helps to sharpen the knowledge and understanding of Scripture. I'm very glad that I can meet with people of all types of doctrine on this site, and enjoy a good debate with the Biblical knowledge which grows in me. In recent times the Comment/debate threads have become somewhat bare, which is a great pity. May the Lord continue to bring an exchange of views that all may enjoy and grow within. And bless those with the courage to do so. 5/24/08 4:18 PM DJC49  | Florida    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Elkin M.

In this 21st Century, the Body of Christ is too thin-skinned, hasn't attained to any spiritual maturity, and can't argue/debate the points of the Christian Faith, without some of the participants feeling overly guilty about expressing and debating any theological point of view. It's a blessed thing that posters such as *jille* are around to remind us that we Christians can not talk about anything, and that we'd be better off as cloisted monks continuously in prayer or as full-time evengelists wearing sackcloth and eating locusts.

A Thursday crucifixion is fine ... except for one important thing: it makes Sunday "the fourth day!" With a Thursday reckoning, Thursday counts as the 1st day, Friday the 2nd, Saturady the 3rd ... Sunday? ... WOULD BE THE 4TH! A "problem" arises for many believers by the lone verse found in Matthew [12:40].

It's as if He were always speaking in a different language -- concerning spiritual realities -- to these earth-bound Jews. They didn't understand The Kingdom, and they didn't understand this. _ These 2 pages are EXTREMELY helpful in understanding what "3 days and 3 nights IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH" actually means: http://www.blessedcause.org/BlessedCause%20Exclusives/The%20Sign%20of%20Jonah.htm http://mikeratliff.wordpress.com/2008/03/21/three-days-and-nights-in-the-heart-of-the-earth/ Check them out. I think this explanation of "in the heart of the earth" is spot on. 5/24/08 11:17 AM jille    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments I am convinced that all these 'surveys' do is cause division. Too much time is wasted on personal views, then debated with scripture as to whose view is right. Christ did not call us to argue and disagree amongst ourselves, but to preach the gospel to a lost and dying world. Yes, we are to be ready to give an answer to the reason of the hope that is in us, to those who ASK, to those who, perhaps after we have given them the gospel, question as to why we believe in the risen Lord {opening a door for personal testimony}. Yes, there are many who post here who are still lost in sin, but rather than continuing to endlessly debate with them in heated exchanges, why not shut off the computer, and go to a quiet place and pray fervently for them? 5/24/08 11:02 AM The Lone Wolf  | Crying in the Wilderness    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments DJC49, I don't think Elkin was trying to be smart here, but merely indicating that whether you believe that Christ was crucified on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday is really irrelevent, but do you believe on the resurrected Christ and gave his testimony for the hope that he has. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: For the record, I hold to a Thursday crucifixion. Since he arose very early morning on the first day of the week which corresponds to our Sunday, backing up 3 nights and 3 days. Saturday 6PM to Sunday 6AM = one night. Saturday 6AM to Saturday 6PM = one day Friday 6PM to Saturday 6AM = two nights Friday 6AM to Friday 6PM = two days Thursday 6PM to Friday 6AM = three nights Thursday 6AM to Thursday 6PM = three days. So positing a Thursday afternoon crucifixion would fulfill the prophetical three days and three nights as well as resurrecting on the third day. Neither Weednesday or Friday would hit in that scheme. 5/24/08 9:29 AM DJC49  | Florida    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Elkin M.

Why is it, Elkin, that with people like you, once they have been shown to be in POSSIBLE error on a particular Scriptural point that they immediately question the salvation of the one who pointed out their mistake? Is that some kind of "Christian," thin-skinned, knee-jerk reaction? It happens CONSTANTLY here on these SermonAudio.com message boards, and it's highly disconcerting! Now, in regard to whether or not I know the Risen Christ: no matter WHAT I might post in that regard, you'd probably still doubt its validity. But allow me to say this: "In the essentials of the faith, Unity; in the non-essentials, Liberty; but in all things, Charity. And I DO admit that sometimes I come across in my responses as being something less than charitable. Forgive this sinner if I have offended you. 5/24/08 8:47 AM Elkin M.

Obviously, Elkin, you like to talk "math" but you don't know even basic addition. And just as obvious is that you did not read any of the cited Scripture passages which categorically state that Christ would and did indeed rise "the third day." Not the fourth. Not the fifth. And no matter how you reckon the days -- from midnight to midnight or from sundown to sundown -- Sunday is NOT the 3rd day from Wednesday. Get your calculator new batteries and read ANY and/or ALL of the following: Matt 16:21, Matt 17:23, Matt 20:19, Matt 27:64, Mk 9:31, Mk 10:34, Lk 9:22, Lk 13:32, Lk 18:33, Lk 24:7 & 24:21 & 24:46, Acts 10:40, 1Cor 15:4 Here are a couple samples: 1Cor 15:4 "And that he was buried, and that he rose again THE THIRD DAY according to the scriptures:" Luk 24:46 "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead THE THIRD DAY:" Wed = 1st day Thurs = 2nd day Friday = 3rd day? Sat = 4th day?? Sunday = 5th day??? 5/23/08 11:44 PM Elkin M.
