Yes I do... but for some reason you can't seem to differentiate between the use of an idiom and an exact time. "Three days" can mean "three days and nights." But "three days and nights" isn't an idiom.... like I said, Google it. You will not find it in a Jewish or Hebrew source as being an idiom. "Three days" is an idiom, but "three days and nights" is not. Trust me, I looked... I wanted it to be.... I tried to make it be... but there is no evidence that is was ever used idiomatically. So... I had to accept that and work through the days... three days and nights means any part of 3 consecutive days and nights and if true... that means Thursday at 3:00PM.
But again... if you think he died Friday like Catholic tradition holds to... that's fine. You are still holding to him being dead for 3 days as you read Scripture. We are not in disagreement on the main point here... just on some details that don't matter.
Shalom.

Ken, you are arguing against an eyewitness account on the road to Emmaus. It is Tradition because it is scriptural fact. As I said, the story of Yonah used 3 days/nights so it had to be told that was because it was a comparison. However THAT time period was not and could not be THE sign...resurrection was but Yeshua did not tell them the end game. Remember, He said that they did not believe Moshe or the Nevi'im, so why would they believe one who raised from the dead...
