The Catholic religion set up the calendar we use today and has Jesus crucified on Friday and raised on Sunday.
Even considering that a part of a day might be considered a full day in counting how many days Jesus was dead, supposing that He rose one minute after sunrise to give Him the third day, how do you get three NIGHTS our of Friday night and Saturday night? TWO nights.
Pope Gregory screwed up when he made up the calendar.
Again, did Jesus lie when He said that He would be in the earth three days and three nights?
Who’s wrong? Jesus or Gregory?
Lol, you are conflating two issues.
When Gregory changed the calendar, the days of the week stayed the same. So a Monday was still Monday after the change. Has nothing at all to do with what day Jesus died.
The second issue is the meaning of three days and three nights. You are defining that as a 21st century westerner. You must look at it as what did a 1st century Jew understand the term to mean.
To a 1st century Jew, any part of the day counted as a whole day. So a baby born one minute before sundown on Friday, had to be circumcised by the 8th day, which is the following Friday as shown below:
Day one - Friday
Day 2 - Saturday
Day 3 - Sunday
Day 4 - Monday
Day 5 - Tuesday
Day 6 - Wednesday
Day 7 - Thursday
Day 8 - Friday
Please notice for Sunday to be the third day, the event in question happened on Friday.
Luke 24 absolutely locks in the first day of the week ( our Sunday ) as the day Jesus rose from the dead. Many Scriptures lock in the third day as the day Jesus would rise. Counting backwards:
Sunday - third day
Saturday - second day
Friday - day Jesus died
If Jesus was speaking on Friday in Luke 13:32, on what day would he finish his course?
Answer:
Friday - today
Saturday - tomorrow
Sunday - the third day he would finish his course
The Christians in the first century weren’t idiots, they knew when Jesus died and when he rose. They also could read the Scriptures and count days.
Of course, those opposed to Christianity like to sow dissension and doubt.
Sound familiar?
