• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Good Friday, a doctrine of men?

Yeshua HaDerekh,
re: "How are you getting 3 days and 3 nights...exactly"



I'm not, if by "exactly" you mean 72 hours. What makes you think that I am?

BTW, you have 2 questions directed to you in post #198.

I have answered them ad nauseum...
We have 2 witnesses on the road to Emmaus which proves Yeshua died on Friday and rose on Sunday. Yeshua was even with them and He did not correct them. You can count it any way you want to...

I don't see how that "proves" anything. Cleopas said "today is the third day since these things happened". Therefore, there had to have been a second day since the things happened and finally there had to have been a first day since the things happened. So until you can show me an actual example where a first day since something happened had to be referring to the same day, you're never going to convince me that that had to be the case.

re: " This is the figure of speech known as synecdoche, where the whole, 'day and night' represents the part."

Please support your assertion by providing an example where "x" days and "x" nights were said to be involved with an event when that couldn't have meant that at least a part of each one of the "x" days and at least a part of each one of the "x" nights would be involved.

Yeshua HaDerekh,
re: "Then remain in your ignorance... "

So educate me by providing actual examples where a "first day since something happened" had to be referring to the same day.

Friday is day 1...Saturday is day 2 and Sunday is day 3...there is no day 0. When he said today is the 3rd day (day 3)...we know he died on Friday and rose on Sunday. Pretty simple.

Yeshua even says it! Do you believe Him?
In Luke 13:32, Jesus referred to “Today and tomorrow, and the 3rd day.” Luke shows Yeshua Himself using inclusive timing!

How about Moshe?
In Exodus 19:10-11, “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Consecrate the people today and tomorrow, and be ready for the 3rd day. For on the 3rd day the Lord will come down on Mt. Sinai.”

Why?

Why couldn't it have meant a part of a night or a part of a day?
