You are relentless in your insistence on changing the subject. There are countless excellent treatments/commentaries on the vs you keep quoting. If the meaning or application of the vs is an issue for you, perhaps extended, in-depth reading on the subject coupled w prayer will help. Otherwise, seek the counsel of your pastor. The vs obviously bothers you, and rather than continuously interjecting it into a discussion of the meaning of “three nights” [as if the concept of “three nights” is so deep, esoteric and confusing that mere mortals are incapable of comprehending the plain words] you need to resolve it. Blessings to you in this matter.

Meanwhile, you still haven't explained why you doubt the Word of God, when it plainly says the Egyptian slave hadn't eaten or drunk for three days. Why would you doubt God's word over such a simple straightforward and uncontroversial statement?

Wrong - the subject is biblical interpretation, and your insistence on doing it with the "plain words." Do you apply your interpretive methods to the verse I quoted?

Which one(s) do you subscribe to? What do they say?

The verse I quoted is no more deep, esoteric and confusing. Why won't you tell us what you think it means?
