I never said FOUR DAYS!
SHOW ME WHER I SAID FOUR DAYS, or back off!
P> I'm gonna say this one more time...
In the first century Jews reconciled days from sunset to sunset.
AND THEY STILL DO TO THIS VERY DAY!

Got differnet evidence? Then present it! You obviously think otherwise but have made not one single point other than to claim vague chapter references.

But please do NOT accuse me of things I did not say!

I never said the disciples could not count in chapter 24.

What I AM SAYING is that you are annoying me with piddling little snipes that prove nothing other than your total lack of reading comprehension of what I actually HAVE said.

My claim on the three days and three nights comes from Christ Himself in Matthew 12:39-40. He predicted three days and three nights as the sign to prove His divinity. Please read the posts before commenting, or falsely accusing...please!

So in your next post, your task is to...
Show me where I ever claimed four days
Show me where I said anyone couldn't count
Show me what YOU PERSOANLLY actually believe and substantiate it with some sort of cognitive evidence.

Because up to now all you have brought to the discussion is false accusations and vague references to your personal, but uncorroborated opinions on shadowed chapter references.

..or go away, because your unintellegent snipes are rude!

MATTHEW 12:39
But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth. The only way that this is possible is if Christ died and was buried on a Wednesday Passover (14Nisan). That would begin the count of the 1st day, Wednesday night = 1st night, Thursday day = 2nd day, Thursday night = 2nd night, Friday day = 3rd day, Friday night = 3rd night. That completes the 3 days and 3 nights and Mary appears early Saturday morning. There is no possibility of a Friday death. In Esther we find what is considered 3 days and 3 nights. ESTHER 4:15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: 16 "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for THREE DAYS, NIGHT or DAY. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!" 17 So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him. 5:1 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.

1. The OT data (to show that 'on the third day' = 'after three days')
Gen 42.16: "And he put them all in custody for three days. 18 On the third day, Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God" and they are released ON that day (from the context of verses 25-26). In this case the 'for three days' meant only 'into the third day'

1 Kings 20.29: "For seven days they camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle was joined. " In this case we have 'for seven days' meant only 'into the seventh day'.

2 Chr 10.5: "And he said to them, 'Return to me again in three days" with verse 12: "So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, 'Return to me on the third day." In this case 'in three days' is equivalent to 'on the third day'.

Esther 4.16: "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.'"

And then in 5.1: "On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. " In this case, "on the third day" is equivalent to "for three days, night or day".

1 Samuel 30.12: "He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights. 13 David asked him, "To whom do you belong, and where do you come from?" He said, "I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago. " In this case "for three days and three nights' somehow was fulfilled when his master left him 'three days ago'.

"Thus, the Old Testament gives the picture that the expressions 'three days,' 'the third day,' and 'three days and three nights' are used to signify the same period of time."
