Did Jesus Spend 3 Days And 3 Nights As He Promised? by TMemos(op): 9:04am On Apr 21, 2019
There is a big question hanging on crucifixion.

Jesus said he was going to spend 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth just as Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish.

Jesus was crucified on Friday. He was said to have risen on Sunday. This cannot be up to 3 days and 3 nights. The prophecy was not fulfilled and this is a big doubt on crucifixion and the entire Christian faith.

He spent two nights and a day!

You guys should give jesus a break. He didn't go to school so couldn't do calculations.

Jesus calculating 3+3 is just the equivalent of asking a wheel barrow pusher to do algebra.

Were the 3 days and 3 nights spent by Jonah not literal?

How did you arrive at 3 days and 3 nights from Friday evening to Sunday morning? Eh? Break it down.

Friday night to Saturday morning: 1 night

Saturday full day: 1 day

Saturday night to Sunday morning: 1 night

Total: 2nights, 1day

Are you changing Good Friday to Good Thursday? On which authority are you relying on to do this?

Let's even calculate it even if it was a Thursday:

Thursday night to Friday morning: 1 night
Friday full day: 1 day
Friday night to Saturday morning: 1 night
Saturday full day: 1day
Saturday night to Sunday morning: 1 night

Total: 3 nights, 2 days


You wanna try Good Wednesday?

according to Mark, Jesus was crucified a day before sabbath, that is Friday.

Mark 15:42 KJV
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

and Luke said he was resurrected on the first day of the week, that's Sunday.

Luke 24:1 KJV
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

then Matthew said three days and three nights

this story get k leg

"It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath
(and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week).
So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.
"
- John 19:31

It has to be on the authority of John 19:31 above, and no, I dont need to wanna try Good Wednesday because of the fact that the Last Supper occurred on Wednesday, never a Thursday, thus Christ was, in fact, crucified on Thursday, never a Friday.

Thursday day to Thursday night: Jesus was on the cross by 9:00am, died by 3:00pm and off the cross before sundown so 1 day and 1 night
The Jewish day starts at sundown or nightfall of the previous evening, and continues throughout the night and following day, until the next night.
Friday morning to Friday night day: 1 day and 1 night
Saturday morning to Saturday night: 1 day and 1 night (i.e. Jesus rosed before sunrise)
Sunday morning: Resurrection morning

It really do not matter whether it is 3 days and 3 night or less. The bottomline is Jesus died and resurrected after 3 days in the grave, thats all.

there is no necessity that what happened should be exactly how jesus described it.
What was necessary is that, jesus was in the grave 3 days before he resurrected.
Even if he was there 2 days and 18 hours that is close to 3 days already.

how does it matter?

Explain ?

Do you realise that Daniel prophesied that jesus was going to spend approximately 9 years on his journey from galilee to jerusalem where he was to be crucified but the time frame was shortened to less than 4 years?

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

That tells you that fulfilment of prophesies may not happen exactly the way it was originally intend to be, but the bottomline is, the prophecy is fullfilled.

Therefore it very meaningless to start asking question like time frame when what we actually need is fulfillment of the prophecy

you are absolutely right on this.
But like i said before, it is really not necessary to follow the accurate calculation you presented here and make it thusday.
Why?
Because friday is already widely accepted even though the calculation was wrong.

Thank you. We use Bible to explain prophecy not dumb reasoning.. grin
A day from Genesis started evening+ morning= 1 day!. So calculate:
Thursday evening and friday morning - Friday
Friday evening and saturday morning - Saturday
Saturday evening and Sunday morning - Sunday
3 evenings and 3 mornings. Just like Jesus said...
Only Satan lies and the father of lies. All his advocates are confused and try to deceive the very elect...keep trying to deceive.... Its your job grin
