To: one Lord one faith one baptism

No way to get three days and THREE NIGHTS between friday afternoon and Sunday morning. The “three days” and “third day” also have to be consistent with “three days and three nights” (Matthew 12:40).

Do you even know what three days and three nights means?

To a first century Jew it is a idiomatic expression meaning 3 days. Jews counted any part of a day as the whole day. Look up inclusive reckoning.

To a westerner in 21st century, it means 72 hours.

We must take the meaning in the first century, not 21st.
