Checkpoint,
re: "How about 'Abraham's bosom', Luke 16:22?"

How is that an example of a daytime or a night time being said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred?[/quote

It isn't that.

But it is one example that I understood you were looking for, in a general sense, when you wrote this:

If yes, what examples are you using to say that He was using common figure of speech/colloquial language?

re: "It isn't that."

OK, no problem. Perhaps someone else may know of examples.


re: "But it is one example that I understood you were looking for, in a general sense..."

Actually it's examples in a specific sense, i.e., examples which show that it was common to 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.

Someone new visiting this topic may know of examples.

Why on earth would you try to make your belief fit something?? Wednesday works quite well in the proper year

So you would say he died on Wednesday before sunset, and rose at a similar time on the Saturday?

Yes. I could start a thread if you want?

re: "I could start a thread if you want?"

That would be the correct thing to do because any issue apart from the OP - as clarified in subsequent posts - should be addressed in a new topic.

marco,

You have a question directed to you in post #172.

Since it's been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

Eloi,
re: "I already wrote about that. If THAT ONE was the third day and it was a Sunday, then Jesus died the Friday."

And I asked you a couple of questions about that writing to which you have yet to answer.

I don't get what else you're asking ... maybe no one else is contributing here for the same reason.
