“If this were not enough, we also have the testimony of Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah from the first century who, while commenting upon Jonah 1:17 and its reference to three days and three nights, wrote that a day and a night are an Onah and the portion of an Onah is as the whole part of it (Jerusalem Talmud: Shabbath 9:3).”

i understand Jesus to mean by “ three days and three nights” what He meant me to understand by that phrase and as every Jew who heard Him say it in the 1st century understood what He meant by it - the same as three days and the same as after three days. to the Jewish mind, ANY PART OF A DAY IS THE SAME AS THE WHOLE DAY.
Is that so hard to understand?
if someone was in the grave for five minutes, to a Jew, that person was in the grave a day, and it is the same to that Jew if the person was in the grave 24 hours, IT IS ALL ONE DAY.
The folly of rood is that he insists on a literal three days and three nights and then serves up FOUR DAYS and three nights and doesn’t expect anyone to notice his playing fast and loose with the fourth day, the actual crucifixion day according to his “discovery”!!
i can understand your not wanting to face Luke 24 and it’s implications to blowing up rood’s heresy.
Christians from 33ad on have been teaching a false doctrine, whereas some guy named rood has discovered the “truth” after 2,000 years???
what does the Bible say about the end times and false prophets arising......??
maybe you can write rood or call him and share my challenge with him..........but i am sure he is on to selling more tapes and cds and won’t have time to answer someone challenging his obvious nonsense!
In your ignorance, you've been unwittingly sucked into the man made religion and false doctrines of this man. Saint Constantine, who was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 - NOT from 33ad as you put it.
You libel those who seek the truth and put words in the mouth's of the prophets and even the Messiah. You have been shown an abundance of evidence of what the real truth is. Accept the fact you've been deceived and make amends. The time you have remaining to do so is running short my FRiend.
A gold multiple of "Unconquered Constantine" with Sol Invictus, struck in 313. The use of Sol's image appealed to both the educated citizens of Gaul, who would recognize in it Apollo's patronage of Augustus and the arts; and to Christians, who found solar monotheism less objectionable than the traditional pagan pantheon.
For more on your doctrine's heritage, read about Sol Invictus
I'm curious as to what this means for the Church...
It seems to be a waste of time to post to a pagan Dagon Good Friday worshiper, But one more time, Why would Christ say three days and three nights so many times if he meant a day and a half?
Calling the Lord a liar is bad manners, unless you bow to the Satanic priests that wear the fish hats.
