Thank you. These are called FOUR DAYS by Cornelius. It means a 'partial' day is regarded as a dayvooks,
re: "1. what were those, 'full calendar days', 'calendar days' or what kind of days were those?"
There were 3 full days and 1 partial 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'?re: "2. Are your THREE 'full calendar days' different from Cornelius' FOUR days?"
Of course they are - 3 days are not the same as 4 days.
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?re: "If yes, how?"
It's self evident - 3 is not the same as 4.
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?re: "3. What day was it when Peter arrived since Cornelius had a vision,FIRST,SECOND,THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH day?"
It was the 4th day since Cornelius had the vision.
You are funny. It would have been Thursday. Look at Acts 10.re: "4. Supposing Cornelius had the vision on Monday, which day of the week would he have been speaking these words?"
It would have been Friday because 1 day ago would be Thursday, 2 days ago would be Wednesday, 3 days ago would be Tuesday and 4 days ago would be Monday.
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!re: "Supposing you heard God speak these words on Monday. When would you expect Him to come down?"
It would be on Wednesday of course. But what is your point?
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
