<<@CrossExamined says : Download FREE Cheat Sheet “The 4-Point Case For Christianity” 👉📱https://cutt.ly/ZYMC4nl>> <<@onehappydawg says : Although I do not agree with all other teaching, ‘119 Ministries’ has a very good video on this subject and brings in all relevant passages and goes through each one, marking everything on a chart so you can see it. I believe there is overwhelming biblical evidence that Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday and the reason people like in this video do not want to come to that conclusion is because, either they’ve never actually looked into it in detail and are just parroting what others have said or they want to stick with tradition over the scriptures.>> <<@Rambo777 says : It is my understanding that in Jewish/Israeli, both ancient and modern, if something occurred in any part of a day that day was included or counted as part of the time the occurrence took place. Therefore, JESUS was crucified, died and buried on what we call Friday, that's day one He was dead and buried, still dead and buried on Friday night, that's night one. Saturday day, dead and buried, day two. Still dead and buried at night, that is night two. Sunday day, still dead and buried, day 3. Sunday night, dead and buried that's night 3, until "...the first of the week..." at or before dawn the sealed stone "door" was rolled away and JESUS was resurrected, arose and walked out of the tomb.>> <<@jpd4676 says : If Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three literal days then Jesus was dead for three literal days. Even Jesus mention that Jonah was there in three literal days. Why would the scriptures contradict itself when it perfectly states it three days and three nights for both events, therefore, He died Wednesday at 3:00 pm and rose on Saturday 6:00 pm which is the beginning of a new day which is Sunday.>> <<@matthewbroderick6287 says : The best book on this subject is "Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist ", by Dr. Brant Pitrie! When Jesus Christ said from the cross, "it is finished ", Jesus was speaking of the fourth cup of the Passover. This fourth cup was supposed to have been completed at the Passover Supper the night before! Jesus Christ is the new passover Lamb and the passover is not complete until the passover Lamb is consumed. Thar is why at every Catholic Mass, the Once and Perfect Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, is continually offered up to the Father, as we are continually sinning, and Jesus Christ is ALWAYS making intercession for us! No one brings condemnation on oneself for consuming a mere symbol in an unworthy manner as Paul warns in Corinthians! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink>> <<@christeenasnyder says : The way Hebrews counted included the day they were on: Friday (Passover)-1, Saturday (Sabbath)-2, Sunday (Resurrection)-3>> <<@geoffandmarycarter4502 says : The Catholic Church made resurrection on a Sunday to change the sabbath, 3 days , 3 nights means just that... Jesus rose on Monday, we need to push the resurrection up, not Passover back to Wednesday...>> <<@poppyozark says : I will and can never trust a supposed Bible teacher who explains away the three days and nights in the tomb. If they will do this, when pressured, they will try to explain away something else. The Sabbath spoken of here wasn't the weekly Sabbath in many of us know and understand this. This sabbath was a high and holy Sabbath because it was a feast day Sabbath. It's really that simple. This was not a Passover meal that Jesus had with his disciples. This was something special. This was something that he done to explain to his disciples what was taking place and that they were about to enter a new covenant. It's really difficult for me to understand how learned men with all the materials that we have cannot see this. I'm trying to say this with as much love as possible. He rose the third day! Not the day and a half>> <<@aletheiaquest says : Hello, friends, just a quick note or two: 1) Contrary to very popular belief, the Bible does not reckon days from sunset to sunset; days are reckoned from dawn to dawn. Eek! I know, I know, friends. And, I'm aware of Gen. 1:5 and Lev. 23:32. Both of those verses disprove the sunset theory once you study them closely and let go of Jewish tradition. 2) Resurrection is different from ascension. Jesus was resurrected at the end of the Sabbath, but ascended to the right hand of the Father on the first day of the week. This is definitely a difficult topic to study through, and I don't have all the answers. Probably never will, but we can keep bouncing ideas off of each other and maybe figure most of it out.>> <<@kylepaustian943 says : Jesus would have had the Passover meal Thursday night(our Wednesday night)then be handed to Jewish leadership later that night (after midnight so our Thursday early morning)then suffered through the trials all Thursday, then Friday night (our Thursday night) the bible is silent then Friday he is crucified and died. Before sundown he is buried. The Saturday night then Saturday. After 6pm Sabbath over but women did not arrive till sunday. That is the 3 days and 3 nights that is described in mark 8:31. He was handed over night 1 suffered day 1 and night 2 then was killed day 2 buried and rested night 3 and day 3. Then women found empty tomb. Jesus had already risen. No contradiction or.problem. After exile many Jews celebrated Passover and the first day of unleavened bread at same time. In exodus they were two separate feasts. That is why Jesus could celebrate passive and still die at the time the Passover lamb was killed. He celebrated the proper way while the Jewish leaders were using a different tradition.>> <<@moniyahshakhor6509 says : It happened on a Thursday! Was it the passover meal? YES IT WAS! Passover is on the 14th. On this day the lamb is slaughtered and you have 24hrs to eat it and eat it with unleavened bread... So, Thursday night Yahusha had passover meal which we call The Lord's Supper. That Thursday day He was tried and crucified by night fall. The 15th is the start of Unleavened Bread. It's a high sabbath. He was buried/tombed up Friday night, between nightfall and the 3rd hour of night. 16th was a sabbath; Saturday. 17th was First Fruits in which He rose, Sunday. He was up and out by Miriams' arrival. Each Holy day is kept a certain way and represents Yah's fullness. Only way for Him to rise on First Fruits is it had to be on a Thursday. Night is first in hebrew calendar so we understand it as Wednesday night. Shalom!>> <<@annbathan7232 says : The Word of God is the Truth, and the Truth is the Word of God. It did came from Jesus that the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Matthew 12:39-40 💕But he replied to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah, because just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. In order for us not to be swayed by our own intension, by our favor to religion or traditions or doctrines of man, we Christians must First directly answer the questions. 🍃"Who is the Son of Man referring to by Jesus ?" It is Jesus Christ himself who died and is risen, the Son of God. 🍃"What did Jesus said about the Son of Man?" The Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. 🍃"What does it means?" It means that Jesus Christ who is the Son of Man will be buried for 3 days and 3 nights. 🍃"What did Jesus said about a whole day?" Jesus said that there is 12 hours of daylight. It means that there is also 12 hours of night. John 11:9-10 💕Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.” As Jesus clearly and definely said about 12 hours of daylight, as Jesus also had mentioned about night, it is also clear that there is 12 hours of nighttime. This is not a figure of speech but instead Jesus is very specific about himself as the Son of Man who died and is alive and seated at the right hand of God. 🍃"Can Jesus Christ lie?" NO, Jesus had never lied and will always direct us to the Word of God, who is himself. Jesus is always true to his words. Hebrew 6: 16-18 💕Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument. So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath. Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged. We must focus on what was given and had been described clearly so we might not able to make it blurred to detect a one day. We cannot find in the Bible that explain a part of a day is equal to 1 whole day or a part of a night is equal to a whole day. Christians must be able to test the spirit that tells the understanding. It is okay for the body to reason out together for God knows each one of us, he knows the honesty of our heart and the purity of our mind. It is Father who gave us the desire to search him more. In searching and knowing, we must be able to bravely accept the truth provided by the Word of God for the Kingdom of God is not ruled by traditions nor doctrines of men, but is ruled and governed by the Word of God, our Yeshua, our Saviour and our King, the Lord of lords. The Bible had said that there will be a unity by the Spirit of God in the end among the children of God. This unity of the Holy Spirit does not come from the One World Religion and will never emerge from them where their unity is brotherhood and deception. For there is no one God and one Lord in them. For different scriptures produces different gods. 1 Corinthians 12: 12-13 💕For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. The unity by the Spirit of God is through the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through him. And his name is Jesus Christ, our Yeshua, the Son of God. Ephesian 4:4-6 💕There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:11-13 💕So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. As this is written, it will happen. Test the spirit.>> <<@admdave says : What I've learned from listening to Frank and his long and distinguished list of guests, is that 1) I don't know everything; ergo: 2) when Frank or a guest asserts something that is contrary to what I have been brought up to believe, I don't immediately attack. Instead, because I might be wrong, I would then ask, "Well, if that's true, then how do you account for.....? There are several "how do you account for" 's in the below remarks that are legitimate questions for Dr. Licona to address if he wants to continue to competently assert his view that the Last Supper was not the Passover.>> <<@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe says : If you're doing logic gymnastics to explain your position that's a sign to check the simpler more logical explanation. 3 days and 3 nights most likely means just that. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights, resurrected on Saturday and discovered on Sunday.🤗>> <<@bharold says : I find it disingenuous when you have to come up with crazy, far-fetched, and frankly, non-sensical justifications whenever you find a difficult passage. I'd rather you say "we don't know". He was very specific, several times about the 3 days. I also think I might be missing some context here, or maybe misunderstood something, because I do not understand how the last supper being a passover meal can even be put to question. Luke 22, Jesus' own words: "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." I did not understand about the "no bread" part either on John 13... He literally fulfilled prophecy with bread in that same chapter, during the supper. I must be missing something.>> <<@DiscipleShaynePlaylist says : 1 Corinthians 15:4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Jesus is Alive!!! ✝️💕🏃🌎💨>> <<@raptureready519 says : No it's not a figure of speech. It was a literal three days. We have to go back to Jewish understanding of days. Day begins at evening. So Thursday evening to Friday evening is day 1, Friday evening to Saturday evening, day 2 and Saturday evening to Sunday morning is still day 3. Everything in the Bible has meaning.>> <<@stayroxy says : where can i find the full episode ?>> <<@b.g.3073 says : Mark 14:12 NIV: The Last Supper 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" The Question: "Was Jesus crucified the day before or the day after the Passover meal?" 1: All four Gospels state and agree that Jesus was crucified (and died) on the "Preparation Day" (the day before the Sabbath). Matthew 27:57 (NIV): As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. (Although Matthew doesn't say the word "Sabbath" or "the day before the Sabbath," we can align it with Mark 15:42). Mark 15:42-43 (NIV): 42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. (Both Matthew and Mark say the following: "As evening approached," and spoke of Joseph of Arimathea). Luke 23:54 (NIV): 54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin. John 19:31 (NIV): 31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 2: John 19:14- John 19:14 (NIV): 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews. (Or" "The sixth hour.") John based his calculations on Roman time, while Matthew, Mark, and Luke based theirs on Jewish time. 3: The Passover always occurred on the "14th Day of Nisan." 4: Nisan is the first month of the Jewish year/calendar. (Leviticus 23:5 confirms this). Lev. 23:5 NIV: 5 The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 5: At sundown: when a new Jewish day began. Not like ours. 6: So, once the Sun went down- "the 13th day" became the "14th day." 7: For the Passover: On the day after the Passover (the 15th day), the "Seven Day Feast of the Unleavened Bread" began. 8: On the first day of the "Seven Day Feast of the Unleavened Bread," was a "special Sabbath day." (Leviticus 23:6 confirms this). Lev. 23:6 NIV: 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 9: As the 4 Gospels tell us, Jesus was crucified on the Passover Day. (The 14th day of Nisan). 10: Whenever "The Passover" and "The Feast of the Unleavened Bread" fell close together to one another, they were considered one feast. 11: So: this would make it- "A 1-day Passover," followed by: "A 7-day Unleavened Bread feast." This 8 day festival was also referred to as the Passover. See: Luke 22:1, John 19:14, and Acts 12:3-4. Luke 22:1 NIV: 22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, John 19:14 NIV: 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews. Acts 12:3-4 NIV: 3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. 12: So: in John 19:14, when he says "it was the day of preparation for the Passover," he wasn't talking about the normal, day 14 Passover (and the day that Jesus was crucified), but the "Seven Day Feast of the Unleavened Bread" (which began on day 15)- since it was called "The Passover" (all-together). 13: Read Ezekiel 45:21. 21 “‘In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover, a festival lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast. 14: Verses that show "The Unleavened Bread" can reference an entire Passover season: Matthew 26:17 Mark 14:1 Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:1-7. 15: Since Jesus knew what was about to happen, He ate his Passover meal early on the 14th day. (And since a new day in Jewish terms began at sunset, once the sun went down on the 13th day, it became the 14th day). 16: So, after the sunset on the 13th day (and it became the 14th day), Jesus and his followers ate their (Passover) meal. 17: The following morning after their Passover meal, is when all of the events transpired. 18: John 18:28- this was not the Passover Lab, but a separate meal. (The Passover lamb meal takes place in John 13- especially take a look at John 13:2). John 18:28 NIV: 28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. John 13:2 NIV: 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. This meal: The verse: John 18:28 NIV: Jesus Before Pilate 28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. "πασχα" can also mean other sacrifices, which were offered (during the paschal solemnity). It refers to the "Feast" that follows the sacrifice of the lamb. Passover is more than just 1 thing. This was a reference to the "Chagigah" (the feast on the 15th day) (see Deut. 16:2). Read 2 Chronicles 30:22. 2 Chronicles 30:22 NIV: 22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites, who showed good understanding of the service of the Lord. For the seven days they ate their assigned portion and offered fellowship offerings and praised the Lord, the God of their ancestors. There are eight other examples in John, where "πασχα" ("pascha") means "feast" (and not supper). John 13:2 was the "lamb" (regular Passover Meal). Also: Remember, unlike Matthew, John wrote to a Roman/Gentile audience, and was different than the Synoptic Gospels in almost every way. He even used Roman time, while the other three Gospels used Jewish time.>> <<@b.g.3073 says : John 18:28- this was not the Passover Lamb, but a separate meal. (The Passover lamb meal takes place in John 13- especially look at John 13:2).

Passover is more than just one thing. This was a reference to the "Chagigah" (the feast on the 15th day) (see Deut. 16:2). - Deuteronomy 16:2 NIV: 2 Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name. Read 2 Chronicles 30:22. - There are eight other examples in John, where "πασχα" ("pascha") means "feast" (and not supper). 2 Chronicles 30:22 NIV: 22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites, who showed good understanding of the service of the Lord.

He even used Roman time, while the other three Gospels used Jewish time.>> <<@pagophilus says : If this is the calibre of our biblical scholars these days then no wonder Christianity is in decline. Of course Christ died at passover, because the passover symbolised his blood being shed for us. The three days/nights is Hebrew reckoning, where day is counted even if it is part of a day, and it starts on day 1, not day 0. Thus Friday, Sabbath, Sunday is your 3 days and Sunday morning is the on the third day. Plus, the day begins in the evening, not in the morning, so any time after sunset Saturday the the resurrection could have occurred. And it's impossible to claim that the passover began on whatever day in AD 30 (the year of the crucifixion) because it depends on the actual sighting of the moon, but if you look at the calculations it is plausible that the passover that year was on Friday.>> <<@thejohn17project15 says : What a bunch of Replacement Theology bull. It is obviously the Passover meal. In scripture God's calendar is lunar and the day starts in the evening not the morning. So Passover eve would be the day time before the evening which begins the day of Passover. Jesus was crucified on Passover and raised on first fruits.>> <<@mickqQ says : The gospels say Jesus was crucified on two different days What difference does it make what day or time he was crucified I think it’s fair to say he was in fact crucified, him and plenty others. But Did he stay dead ?>> <<@Acacian141 says : Killed on Friday.... 3 days later = Sunday??!!>> <<@alanniketic7690 says : We can't add to what Scripture says... What "interpreting" means? It is the inspired word of God, and we have to TRUST his word and let The Holy Spirit WHO LIVES in every Christ's Children, TELL and not "interpret" with the flesh what Scripture says. "Matthew 26:1-2,16-19 [1]Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, [2]“You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” [16]So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. Jesus Celebrates Passover with His Disciples [17]Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” [18]And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ’ ” [19]So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.">> <<@williamhutcheson6511 says : God brings forth life slowly through evolution and suddenly through resurrection. Both are bringing forth life.>> <<@piegros says : Good video>> <<@rockzalt says : At that time of year in history, Roman roads, pilgrimage and harvest, it would of been a busy cultural time of year full of events. It just adds up that it could have similarities like our Christmas season. I've had dinner's that happen on the 24th and then a second one on the 25th. Reading the Bible is like trying to make sense of a theological dig site.>> <<@choward5430 says : John 12:1-12 "Jesus, therefore, six days before Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus has raised from the dead. V.12 "The next day He arrived in Jerusalem..." The text says it would be six days before Passover. The question becomes what day did Yeshua arrive in Bethany. If we say it was Saturday to make the Friday crucifixion work, we're presupposing Yeshua traveled on Saturday or a Sabbath Day. He would NOT have done this! He would NOT have traveled from one place on a Sabbath Day to another place. That would have violated Leviticus 23:3 "Six days shall work be done, but on the 7th day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work. It is a Sabbath to your LORD in all your dwelling places." So He had to arrive in Bethany on Friday. Let's count the six days 'til Passover from Friday. He arrived in Bethany on Friday and RESTED on Saturday. FRIDAY - Six Days before High Holy Sabbath SATURDAY - Five Days SUNDAY - Four Days MONDAY - three Days TUESDAY - Two Days WEDNESDAY - One Day THURSDAY - High Holy Sabbath Day and the Day Yeshua was crucified.>> <<@johnfroelich8554 says : Frank does better on his own...>> <<@sinalomokoena says : The 3rd day. Well the bible says a day to the Lord is a 1000 years to us. Its been 2022 years since Christ died and rose from the dead. That should be 2 days to the Lord. Which may mean around year 3000, which is the 3rd day to the Lord, the Lord may return to us. Just adding a thought.>> <<@choward5430 says : Yes because the week Yeshua there was crucified was a "High Holy" Sabbath - John 19:31 This was a once per year Sabbath when every Jew had to be present. It began at sundown on Wednesday. But also, Yeshua specifically said He would be in the earth for three days and three nights. If He was crucified on Friday morning, there is a night problem. He ate Passover on Wednesday early evening. He was tried Wednesday night into the wee hours of Thursday morning. He was crucified Thursday morning - DAY ONE. Thursday Night - NIGHT ONE; Friday - DAY TWO Friday night - NIGHT TWO Saturday DAY THREE Saturday Night - Night three. He arose Sunday morning at that was also the day Jews were permitted to leave if they lived outside of Judea.>> <<@mandingocalderwood900 says : Where can I find the "contradiction" shirt?>> <<@randalld92 says : I believe it could easily have been a Wednesday, or any other day of the week. John makes a parenthetical statement in 19:31, (for that Sabbath was a high day). If it were simply the weekly sabbath there would have been no reason for the clarification, but since the Passover and other high days are treated as sabbaths, I believe he offers the statement so that future readers can make the distinction.>> <<@frankcardano4142 says : Why weren’t there any men at the empty tomb?>> <<@dragonback6075 says : No because its all a work of *fiction*>> <<@ADanforth1988 says : Mike Winger has an excellent video on how Christ fulfills Passover! A day is from sunset to sunset. Passover was Tuesday night to Wednesday night. The “last supper” was the Passover meal. He was killed on Passover day (Because Christ IS our Passover). He had to be placed in the tomb before the ANNUAL Sabbath called the first “Day of Unleavened Bread” which began that Wednesday Night, after he was buried. He was Resurrected at the end of the weekly Sabbath (Saturday). The two Mary’s found his empty tomb the following morning. (Sunday). Three Days and Three Nights is very specific.>> <<@jrecks77 says : The most important is that He was crucified and He did rise again…. so hopefully we don’t go extreme in arguing over this type of stuff… but just to be clear (as is stated in other comments) it was the Passover meal. Matthew 26:17-20 specifically states it by Jesus Himself as does Luke 22:8, 11, 13, 15….. again by Jesus not his disciples…. To imply it’s not the Passover meal would imply Jesus is either lying or “meant something different”… however, a more accurate question would be…. Was the Passover meal they had actually ON the day of Passover….. Leviticus 23 may help us understand that a bit better.>> <<@DryBones1234 says : Jesus was killed on passover (our sacrifice) and the next day was a high day sabbath and rose on the weekly sabbath. There were 2 sabbaths that week. That's why scripture has sabbath's in plural. John 20:1¶And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,>> <<@StruckDownNotDestroyed says : Some things can just be over analyzed. Look to how the apostles gave the gospel. Very simple and matter of fact. Jesus Christ, the Son of God was born of a virgin, sent by the Father to bear the sins of the world on Himself, was crucified, died and rose again, that all who will repent and believe will be saved by grace through faith in Him. Anyone can receive and understand that. I think the message gets lost in splitting hairs over the details.>> <<@MutsPub says : So, partial day on Friday, couple hours "maybe" counts as a day? week, but OK. All day Saturday? Got it. Resurrected sometime between sunset Saturday and "just" after sunrise Sunday? Less than an hour? The Sabbath ended at Sunrise. So they headed to the tomb at sunrise. How do you get even 3 partial days and 3 partial nights? Forget, 3 days and 3 nights like Jonah! If He was killed on Wednesday or even Thursday OK. Friday? I aint buyin it! Riddle me this: Why was Mary, Mary, and Salome going to the tomb? It was covered with a stone, when?! How were they going to anoint Him?>> <<@buchmannray says : It happened, Christ rose, is risen, why do we as humans have to over rationalize everything?>> <<@misterbmt1871 says : People may say “in a minute” as a figure of speech, but no one says “in three minutes” as a figure of speech. Also, how can one argue the Last Supper wasn’t a Passover Seder? Jesus says in Luke 22:15 “I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” Jews are permitted to eat the Passover Seder on the day of preparation as Jesus did with His disciples. Christians should understand that the cup in the Eucharist is the 3rd cup of the Passover Seder which celebrates Jesus redemption of believers. As for secular Dave, it was most definitely intentional by God that Jesus die on the pass over. The Pharisees wanted to avoid killing Jesus and pass over because of the possible public ramifications.>> <<@SpringfieldTony says : I thought Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy - there are several times in the 4 Gospels where things didn't match or line up the same, I feel the point is the total sum of the Word is true>> <<@Glorious716 says : ✝️🕊>> <<@katiepayne2479 says : Read your Bible. The triumphant entry. Finding the upper room to have the Passover meal. It is all there.>> <<@SpringfieldTony says : yes - however scripture says people went to the tomb to lay herbs & perfume there & the stone was moved so the tomb was open - so it wasn't weeks or months later that he LORD God raised Jesus & also time is irrelevant to God/Jesus who is beyond time>> <<@wmarkfish says : It's a very weak argument when you have to say 3 days and 3 nights means "just a minute". It is more threatening to the credibility of the sign Christ presents if it is not 3 days. It is easy to show there were 2 Sabbaths on crucifixion week without muddling up Christ's words to cram 3 days into 1.5 days. Why make a stand on crucifixion Friday when it puts into question Yashua's words and you have to do some fancy foot work to cover it over. The Good Friday idea came from people who had no understanding of the Hebrew Passover calendar.>> <<@Yidd-E-ack says : Rose again on the third day. What part of that makes it a figure of speech?>> <<@simplyseculardave says : It hardly matters what day it was on. The celebration of the birth of Christ was moved by around 3 months and no one seems to care. Would the bible have been more believable if the Last Supper happened AFTER Jesus rose from the Crucifixion? If there were Believers and Non-Believers in the room who saw him transform into a spirit and rise through the roof of the building to Ascend? Or is it still just a poorly written fable, in an old book?>>
