The Gregorian calendar that pope Gregory dreamed up is wrong and that’s the source of the confusion about the three days and three nights thing.
He arbitrarily assigned the days that HE thought Jesus died and rose again and it has brought confusion to the issue and given atheists ammunition to lob against Christians to try to show inconsistencies in the Christian faith.
Other than Shabbat, the name of the seventh day of the week, the Jewish calendar doesn't have names for the days of the week.
The days of the week are simply known as first day, second day, third day, etc.
Sometimes they are referred to more fully as First Day of the Sabbath, etc.
Below is a list for those who are interested.
Hebrew | Transliteration | English |
---|---|---|
Yom Rishon | First Day (Sunday) | |
Yom Sheini | Second Day (Monday) | |
Yom Shlishi | Third Day (Tuesday) | |
Yom R'vi'i | Fourth Day (Wednesday) | |
Yom Chamishi | Fifth Day (Thursday) | |
Yom Shishi | Sixth Day (Friday) | |
Yom Shabbat | Sabbath Day (Saturday) |
He arbitrarily assigned days.........
Making things up now?
After Gregory changed the calendar, the old Monday was still Monday.
The old 7th day was still the 7th day.
It is dopes who can’t understand the Bible that give ammunition to the atheists.
Jesus tells his true disciples they are to be one in John 17 and indeed we are.
Christians know what day their Savior died and what day he rose. We were there, we are the two witnesses.
He nor the rest of the Catholics for the last sixteen hundred years knew enough bible to know that there was more than one Sabbath celebrated that week...There was more than one preparation day...
As a result their formula for 3 days and 3 nights doesn't/can't work...So they jump thru hoops even going so far as to claim WE don't understand what 3 days and 3 nights meant to the Jews back then...
What charlatans...And the sheeple go baa, baa, baa...
