    Likewise, that would be an issue for a different topic. Maybe you and Thomas can get together and come up with a new one.

    That is an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you might start one.

    Common Figure of Speech/Colloquial Language?

    I watched the sunrises for a week at the times given on the weather channel and I wasn't able to say that any of them could be characterized as being in darkness. Of course, that was just me; your milage may be different. But, at any rate, this discussion has been totally off topic, and needs...

    I guess it depends. When does morning begin with relation to the sun?

    Sorry, I read it as John 20:1, not as 21:1 which is what we were discussing. And John 21:4 is not talking about Mary M's visit to the tomb.

    I'm afraid your comments don't provide any examples which show that it was common to say that a daytime or a night time would be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could be. Maybe you could start a new topic to discuss your findings.

    I need to add that I initially asked this question a number of years ago. In retrospect, I may have been having a senior moment at the time by thinking that there were some 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection believers who tried to explain the missing night time of...
