I know the issue of fitting Matthew 12:40 into a Friday/Sunday period has been discussed before, but does anyone have any historical documentation that shows that the phrase; 3 days AND 3 nights, was a unique first century idiom of Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek which could mean something different than what the phrase means in English?

A little more input first
I know the issue of fitting Matthew 12:40 into a Friday/Sunday period has been discussed before,...
How about quoting Matthew 12:14 (the context around it might also be good) and mentioning a bit of this previous discussion?
Please edit your message 1, and then post a "message 1 changes done" type message as a reply to message 2.

Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Forgot the quote closer code. Should have used "preview". Also added a bit more to my paragraph 1.

Adminnemooseus,
re: How about quoting Matthew 12:14 (the context around it might also be good)...
I’m afraid I don’t see what Matthew 12:14 has to do with my question regarding documentation that shows that the phrase; 3 days AND 3 nights, was a unique first century idiom of Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek which could mean something different than what the phrase means in English?
re: ...and mentioning a bit of this previous discussion?
For the purpose of this topic, I am only interested in what I asked for in the OP.

Re: A little more input first
Adminnemooseus's message had a typo. He meant to suggest that you quote Matthew 12:40 and the surrounding context so that people could see the passage you're talking about.

Re: A little more input first
If a person doesn’t have a Bible, they probably wouldn’t be interested in responding to this topic.

1. This is a debate board, not a library. Search the internet for information.
2. You made no argument for anyone to address.
3. You don't seem willing to make an effort to provide a good opening post to spark debate.
I am not inclined to promote this topic as written and it doesn't seem the other two admins are either.
Thanks for your proposal.
AdminPD

Re: Topic Rejected
Sorry, I didn’t realize that questions were not allowed in the Science and the Social and Religious Issues forums.
