Since it's been awhile, perhaps someone new visiting this topic may know of examples.

RJM Corbet, re: "Well the post by @Miken you referred to, was actually written a week ago, although it only just came through onto your thread today." I'm sorry, but I still don't see what confusion you think that may have caused.

RJM Corbet, re: "Apologies to both of you for the confusion." I'm afraid I don't see to what confusion you are referring with regard to any delays. What am I missing?

re: "Which is why we took the other stuff to another thread." I was merely commenting on your statement that this topic has to do with the time frame. I thought you were saying that that was the issue with this topic.

Miken, re: "The thread is already loaded with off topic interests many of which have essentially nothing at all to do with the time frame." Actually, the issue of this topic is not about a time frame. It's about the commonality of forecasting or saying that a daytime or a night time would be...

RJM Corbet, re: "But other readers may be interested in what you have to say." And those off topic interests should be discussed in a new topic.

Thomas, re: "And if I may ask ... why?" As I said previously, simple curiosity.

Thomas, re: "No, I don't think there's anyone here who falls into that particular group." But you never know about someone new visiting the topic in the future. re: "What's your interest?" From post #209 - What is of interest is what examples are being used by anyone who believes the...

RJM Corbet, re: "He is asking them to provide written evidence for assuming the 'three days and three nights' of Matthew 12:40 was a common usage at the time." More specifically examples which show that it was common practice of the period to forecast or say that a daytime or a night would be...

Thomas, re: "I've lost track of what the current issue is ..." OK, let me repeat my post to you in post #150: The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with...

Thomas, re: "A quick point here, that resolves the argument, is that there is a weekly sabbath, and there is also additional sabbaths, during the great festivals of the Hebrew year." Actually it doesn't because your point concerns an issue for a different topic.

wil, re: Just to be clear, are you denying any connection to that site?" Yes, with regard to being the owner. However, I do have posts there. re: "Trying to stay on topic...and identify the exactness of wording..." That's not the topic.

RJM Corbet, re: " I can see that no-one anywhere across many forums has been able to provide written evidence that the Messiah was using a common figure of speech for the time..." Yes, that has been the case so far. re: "...except for the link with Jonah." I don't see where the account...

RJM Corbet, re: "I believe Mr @rstrats is the owner of the large and popular Religious Forums site?" You ask if you believe that I'm the owner of the Religious Forums site. I don't know. How would I know if that is what you believe? BTW, I'm not the owner.

wil, re: "Discussing religious nuance between believers has value in each developing understandings...Arguing minutia between believers and non believers has little real value to either." Those are issues for a different topic.

And that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the...

Someone new looking in may know of examples.

Thomas, re: "I would, but I fear we'd just end up in a repetition of previous discussions." No need for discussion. Just tell me what "at last" refers to.

Thomas, re: "At last!" I'm afraid I don't understand. I wonder if you could explain what you mean?

In thinking about it, I realize that it doesn't make any difference with regard to sunset versus sunrise; there would still be a lack of a third night with a 6th day of the week crucifixion.
