I'm not a Christian but I play one on TV.

Nowhere does the Bible give the timeline you describe. Catholic tradition is where that is found.

As noted earlier in this thread, the timeline listed in the Bible is exactly as he described.

You keep making claims about what the bible does or doesn't say but when challanged to back up your claims you run off and hide.

Your previous claims have all be disproven and each time you return pretend the posts that prove your previous claims wrong aren't there.

Actually if you read the four Gospels together, you find that Jesus was in the tomb for three days and three nights, not 'just over 24 hours'.

According to Matthew 27:45-60 Jesus died after 9 hours on the cross. His body was lowered and, then "in preperation" and, that evening (the "eve of the Sabbath"), placed in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. That is one full day.

The next day (the Sabbath) he remains in the tomb (and guarded by soldiers as ordered by Pilate).

Then, according to Matthew 28:1-7 , The morning after the Sabbath Mary Magdalene and Mary return to the tomb and are told by an angel that Jesus has risen and isn't in the tomb. The day after the Sabbath being "the 3rd Day".

Mark 15 and 16, Luke 23 and 24 and John 19 and 20 repeat the same sequence of events and timeline. I have no idea where you get that the body was supposedly inside the tomb for 3 full days and 3 full nights. All 4 gospels have his body being placed in the tomb on the eve of the Sabbath, the guards watching the sealed tomb on the day of the Sabbath and Jesus no longer being in the tomb on the morning following the Sabbath - roughly 36 hours.

Jesus himself said He would be in the tomb three days and three nights.

...There was Passover day.....

He died shortly before sunset, the day before Passover

There was Passover day.

There was a day in which some of the women prepared spices, etc to anoint His body. These would have taken time to purchase and prepare, including travel time (no cars back then) and transporting. After this it is said that they rested on the Sabbath.

There was the Sabbath.

He rose after the Sabbath. That next morning is when the disciples found the tomb empty.

In this set of quotes, Fishin' demonstrated the timeline which comes from the alleged gospels, and your only response was to allege, without citation, that Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights.

You failed to contradict the chronology provided by Fishin', and you have so far failed to provide a scriptural citation in which Jesus says he would be three days and nights in the tomb.

This, of course, is you MO on the evolution threads. When you get called on your BS, you just go mute for a few pages, and then again dredge up your previous nonsensical statement, and continue to provide no evidence.

No, but apparently you do.

I gave the verse and now it's up to you to try and squeeze or stretch all those three days and three nights into two-- Friday night, Saturday (that's one), Saturday night to Sunday morning (that's two)

Oops that's all.

You can't count Friday day because Jesus wasn't "in the heart of the earth", bucko, and I know that's important to you.

Meanwhile, it's only important to literalists as you that everything match up precisely, to the rest of us it's just another story.

Joe(relax, you are basing your existence on a myth)Nation

Jesus himself said He would be in the tomb three days and three nights.

"They could have went . . ."--? ! ? ! ?

You do your already feeble arguments no service by butchering what is ostensibly your maternal tongue. Even if one accepts your disingenuous and self-serving scenario, you still only have three days (the first and the last being only partial days), and two nights.

You have referred to the passage which JoeN quoted. JoeN quoted it to demonstrate that you lied when you claimed that Jesus stated that he would be three days and three nights in the tomb. The passage quoted is not attributed to your boy Hey-Zeus. Nevertheless, even in giving you the benefit of the doubt (and my experience of your rhetorical performances at this site over a period of years suggest to me that you do not deserve it), one finds that your exegesis yields two partial days, one full day, and two nights--not only not remotely close to three days and three nights, but in fact, very close to, almost exactly, the roughly 36 hours to which Fishin' referred in an earlier post.

You really know no shame, do ya "real life?"

The timeline:(once more)

Jesus was crucified on the eve of Passover. His death recorded as having taken place at the 9th hour (3PM).

Joseph went back into the city after His death, and asked Pilate for the body. Having received permission, he returned to the crucifixion site and interred the body in a tomb he owned, which was nearby. This all took some time, so the interment took place just as the Passover was to begin (6PM).

The first day of Passover is both a day and a night (24 hours).

The day after Passover the women prepared spices. There would not have been time for them after the death at 3PM to travel back to the city, purchase, transport and prepare spices in the 3 hours that remained of the day. They would not have done so on the Passover either. To say that they would have had burial spices in their homes already on a regular basis is rather absurd. They would have needed to purchase them somewhere in the city, transport them home and prepare them, the preparation process is a somewhat involved process. It ain't Insta-Spice.

The day after Passover is both a day and a night (24 hours).

The next day was the weekly Sabbath, a day and a night (24 hours).

The day after the Sabbath, the women brought the spices to the tomb, but found it empty.

-----------------------------------------------------

There is no support in scripture for a Friday-Sunday timeline.

You may believe it if you wish.

Not only that, his math sucks. He has the boy crucified, and dead by 3PM, and then laid out at 6PM--from which he jumps to an unsubstantiated claim that it's "a day and a night (24 hours)."

If it's the eve before Passover begins, and Passover lasts 8 days, then the day after Passover is 9 days later.
