Christian2, re: “ The Scriptures contain several examples which clearly show that in Bible times a part of a day was often equivalent to the whole day.” I don’t see where any of your examples show that the phrase “x” days and “x” nights HAD to mean a period of time that didn’t include at least parts...

PaulSacramento,

re: “Jesus died before the Sabbath...”


How can you be absolutely certain that it wasn’t an annual sabbath which can fall on any day of the week?

PaulSacramento,

re: “There was a time that food restrictions were needed, not anymore.”


Any thoughts as to why food restrictions were needed at one time, and at what point they were no longer needed and the reason for that?

christian2, re: “‘three days and three nights’ is a Hebrew idiom for any part of three days and three nights.” As asked in the OP, do you have any historical documentation from the first century or before, that shows that the phrase “3 days AND 3 nights” was ever used to delineate a period of time w...

Canuckster1127, re: “They [the parables] were still to be understood by those he spoke to at the time.” That is true, but there is no scripture that says that the Messiah spoke in parables so that His message could be better understood. Scripture only gives two reasons: the first mentioned above and...

Canuckster1127,

re: “ Parables are illustrative stories used by Christ to make a point.”

Actually, parables were used to keep “those who were outside” (Mark 4:11) from “knowing the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 13:11).

Legatus,

re: “ Last I heard, ‘the lords day’ was the name of the sabbath, which had moved from saturday to sunday, and thus changed it's name from sabbath to lords day. John had his vision on sunday, that is all.”
