Thomas, re: " I wonder what you're hoping to get out of this?" I'm not really hoping for anything. I simply would like to see what examples are being used by someone to legitimately assert that it was common in the first century to forecast or say that a daytime or a night time would be...

Thomas, re: "Either you're looking the wrong way, or for the wrong thing ... it rather depends on what you're looking for." I say 'what' in post #122. Let me repeat: 1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" 2. There are those who think...

Thomas, re: "Well examples were given post 131 above." I don't see any examples in post 131 which forecast or 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 have occurred. What do you have in mind? re...

wil, re: "I believe what the man is asking for, is any documentation, any other example that refers to nights and means days" By day, are you referring to a calendar day or to the daytime of a calendar day?

Thomas, re: "I mean if you're asking about 'figures of speech/colloquial language' then you're asking about narrative style." I am if you add the word "common". What is your point?

Thomas, re: "Seems it's not really about the Three Days as such in Scripture, but about narrative style?" What do you mean by "narrative style" as it applies to this topic?

RJM Corbet, re: "Of all the many inconsistencies of precise scriptural verbal accuracy..." That would be an issue for a different topic. re: "...why does this particular one drive you to continue years keep asking?" Simple curiosity. re: "If Monday was actually Tuesday or Saturday...

Thomas, re: "Don't think that group of believers has a presence here on IO." Are you telling me that I shouldn't think that that particular group of believers has a presence here, or are you saying that you don't think that particular group of believers has a presence here? If the latter...

Thomas, re: "I am confused as to where you've gone with this topic, then. In your initial post, the question was: 'I wonder if anyone knows of any writing from the first century or before that shows a phrase stating a specific number of days and/or a specific number of nights when it absolutely...

Thomas, re: "http://turretinfan.blogspot.com/2017/04/three-days-and-three-nights-hebrew.html" I don't see where the link shows examples where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred...

Thomas, re: "The Passover is determined by the lunar calendar, not by the day of the week. So, if Nisan 14 falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday (as it did in AD30), then the body is placed in the tomb on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday, rises on Sunday." That's an issue for a different topic. But...

Thomas, re: "The 'problem' is solved if you follow the Johannine narrative… " How so?

RJM Corbet, re: "No new wtiting." OK, thanks for letting me know. But maybe some one else will know of examples.

Since it's been awhile, maybe someone new visiting this topic may know of examples.

Maybe a different formatting of the OP may make it a bit more clear: 1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" 2. There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the...

BigJoeNobod, You have a question directed to you in post #113.

Since the year is almost over, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

The Messiah said that 3 night times would be involved with His time in the "heart of the earth". However, there are those who believe that the Messiah died on the 6th day of the week and who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to the time between the...

Courage, re: "...a soul is referred to as immortal." Just so it's understood that scripture never refers to it as such.

Maranquape, Since you're not a 6th day of the week crucifixion advocate, you probably won't know of any examples. Perhaps someone new looking in will.
