Jesus rises sometime Saturday night, the time is not specified, and the women come to the tomb on Sunday morning, the first day of the Jewish week, with the spices they prepared on what we consider Friday, the day between the Passover Sabbath (Thursday), and the regular weekly Sabbath (Saturday).
Wow, just wow. I knew that you guys had departed from Christianity, but I did not realize how far. Well, I will post the link http://www.letusreason.org/doct10.htm which explains the whole deal as to days and nights and so on from the Jewish perspective.
It is the magnitude of departure that so often surprises me. Almost to the extent that Mormonism departs...
The third day after His death.
What’s so hard about that?
Why are you so sure you are right? What authority? Can you provide Scriptural support for your position? Not tradition, not consensus, not some ramblings of some *church father* hundreds of years after the fact, but actual, inspired Word of God Scripture.
Or was Jesus lying when He said that He would spend three days and three nights in the earth?
The choice is yours.
I find it ironic beyond belief that a Catholic would put the words of Paul above the words of Jesus for just this one situation, considering the scathing indictment of Paul by the Catholics on this forum and how they make a hierarchy of Scripture, elevating the words of Jesus above all else.
Except in this situation, then Paul rules. Right?
