Featured Three days and three nights

Thank you. These are called FOUR DAYS by Cornelius. It means a 'partial' day is regarded as a day

Acts 10:30-31 (ESV)
30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God

Cornelius talked of FOUR days. Can we please take God at His Word? Or do you believe Cornelius was WRONG in saying 'FOUR days ago'?

Acts 10:30-31 (ESV)
30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God

Note what he was doing four days ago....having a vision. So we have VISION<~~~~four days~~~~>ARRIVAL AT CAESAREA

It is self-evident we have to chose between Cornelius FOUR days and your THREE days. Who is lying?

Cornelius talked of 'FOUR days ago' and we agree the same day he was speaking was the FOURTH day. So would you agree with me that in scriptural reckoning of days FOUR days and the FOURTH day refer to the same day from a specific event?

You are funny. It would have been Thursday. Look at Acts 10.
MONDAY- Verse 3 the day he had a vision and he dispatched his servants
TUESDAY- verse 9 the NEXT day when his servants arrived at Joppa
WEDNESDAY- verse 23, the following day when they left for Caesarea
THURSDAY- verse 24, they next day when they arrived and Cornelius uttered these words

Friday would have been the FIFTH day. Do you agree with this assessment?

Excellent!

Thank you. So we find the THIRD day being the day AFTER tomorrow right?
Working backwards, if on Wednesday I told you 'this is the THIRD day since God spoke', which day would you conclude that God spoke?
A. Sunday
B.Monday
C. I don't know

 

You cannot count; you don't know what common sense is, or logic, or numerical sequence, plainly.

Here you illustrate and prove your inabilities or disabilities rather, yourself:

<<<Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up[/b]
'Three' and 'third' are obviously from his death not from the day after his death. We know very well that on Sunday, it was the THIRD day since he died which would place his death on Friday.>>>

And again, here:

<<<The FIRST day of Jesus death was the very day they killed him, the SECOND day was the day after and the THIRD day was the following day. So if we can positively identify the third day as Sunday, we can easily place his death on Friday. >>>

There must be a blind spot or two on your cerebrum.

Take this, for example:

<<<Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up[/b]
'Three' and 'third' are obviously from his death not from the day after his death. We know very well that on Sunday, it was the THIRD day since he died which would place his death on Friday.>>>

In John 2:19 <<<'Three' and 'third' are obviously from his death not from the day after his death.>>>

But on <<<Sunday>>> IT WAS NOT <<<the THIRD day>>>;

…because it was “the third day SINCE” : He died, which would place his death on Thursday; NOT, <<<on Friday.>>>

 

When I need hallucinations I will consult you, for now, scriptures, common sense and basic literacy will do
Luke 24:1 (ESV)
1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

Luke 24:13 (ESV)
13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem

Luke 24:21 (ESV)
21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

1. The first day of the week= Sunday
2. That same day = Sunday
3. It is NOW = Sunday

Don't waste your time with your infantile theories of sunset/dawn reckoning. It is very clear to all but the hopelessly brainwashed what THAT SAME DAY means

 

Beautiful, man!!

William Cowper, "Knowledge is proud he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more."

Knowledge is proud he has learned to count <backwards> to the second "day, SINCE".

Mooi man, mooi!!

There is hope for you one day to be able to read the word "SINCE".

 

There can't be THIRD day on anything other than SINCE a specific event.
It does not take inspiration to comprehend these simple facts, just simple application of your brains..please do it for once

Repet after me; THIRD day is the DAY after tomorrow, FIRST day is the day before yesterday

The moment you internalize that you will discard all your forty years of meandering in the wilderness of illogic

 

I shall repeat after Luke 24:21; not after Knowledge; but after Truth. Not after Acts somewhere; but after the words written in Luke 24.

Who, do you think you are? I am not your parrot, Mr Wiseguy!.

 

Luke 24:21 (KJV)
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done

What things? Your birthday of crucifixion?

 

Don't you have other things to do that you must do what you are worst at all day?

 

You are spamming this thread

 

rstrats,
These questions are still pending

But my brother, why would it be the fifth day?
We reconstructed Acts 10. Let's do it again
1. Monday(v3)- Cornelius has a vision ands send his messengers to Peter
2. Tuesday(v9)- the messengers arrive at Peter's in Joppa
3. Wednesday(v23)- the messengers with Peter leave Joppa for Caesarea
4. Thursday( v24,30)- the messenger arrive in Caesarea and Cornelius talks of FOUR days ago

Acts 10:29-30 (KJV)
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing

So Cornelius spoke these words on 'Thursday' the same day Peter arrived, in fact he spoke them as soon as Peter was done with the introductions. Where is the FIFTH day as you claim?

Could you please share the 'several'versions and/translations that have him saying "three days ago"?

Thank you
　

I don't know about you, but I know the INSPIRED scriptures have FOUR days. I go with the scriptures

How can the FOUR days ago recorded by the scriptures be wrong?
Please note he spoke these words the VERY day Peter arrived. From above, if he had the vision on Monday, Peter arrived on Thursday. There is no break between v24-29 when Peter arrived and v30 when He spoke those words
　

My brother, even if we never had Cornelius speaking of "four days ago", assuming he had a vision on Monday afternoon, Peter would have arrived on Thursday. See above. So Thursday is not concluded from the "four days ago" statement but from the recorded LOGICAL sequence of Acts 10.

The logical sequence is as follows;
Day 1 Cornelius has a vision and dispatches his messengers
Day 2 Cornelius messengers arrive at Joppa
Day 3 Peter and Cornelius messengers leave Joppa for Caesarea
Day 4 Peter and Cornelius messengers arrive in Caesarea and Cornelius utters these words

Are you implying there is a day omitted in the narration inside these?
If you reject this, you may as well reject scriptural inspiration which is supposed to be our common ground. Either that or you are a dishonest man not interested in the truth
　

There is no reason for your CONDITIONAL. Today is ALWAYS the FIRST day sir as those examples I have shared clearly demonstrate. If you can think of any biblical examples where TODAY is any day other than FIRST day, kindly share with me

My brother,
first,second,third....are adjectives ALWAYS used with respect to events. So am not adding 'since', the very usage of THIRD implies THIRD since something, since an event.

But could you be kind enough to show me where THIRD or other similar adjective and there is no regard to a specific event?

 

Hold that thought

This is interesting

Please make up your mind BEFORE we proceed.

1. Is there a day omitted in the narration and
2. should the text read 'three days ago' instead of 'four days ago'?

Please answer the above question and between the three days and four days versions we will know which are inspired and which are not
　

THIRD when used with cousin is not an ADJECTIVE but a NOUN :smilewinkgrin:
please try again. in fact,try and construct a sentence with the adjectives in conjunction with 'days' without respect to particular event
　

Today of course.

 

Acts 10 is not Luke 24.

horrific exegesis!!!

 

Who doesn't know Acts is not Luke?
Acts 10 shows how time was reckoned in the first century. Take it as a word study.

 

When I <changed my view on this>, it has never changed again; it has only been deepened and strengthened <over the years>.

What I now believe is this—the same as 45 years ago:

Very clever, Rstrats, Friday was the first day since they killed Him!

You just won't say it openly!

Why not, Rstrats?!

 

Rubbish! No wonder you are so afraid to come into the open with your fraud!
