Figure of speech/colloquialism?

[complete]

While I do not have my research readily at hand, Jesus was indeed three days and three nights in the grave. Rather than being an idiom, the confusion lay in the Jewish cultural view that the day starts at sundown. Count them. You'll find three days and three nights. But when the church grew to consist mostly of Gentiles, confusion arose since the Roman day started at sunrise, in the perception of most people - just like us today. Jesus' crucifixion was actually on our Thursday during the daylight, since the day of preparation starts at Thursday sundown until the Sabbath starts on our Friday, sundown. The body was taken down before the "preparation."

My apologies to @rstrats for slightly veering off OP.

Hi Rhema,

What I said in my post does not disagree with that.

Rstrats has never been satisfied with anyone's response on this subject.

Rstrats has never been satisfied with anyone's response on this subject.

Because so far no one has provided examples to show that it was common usage.

 

[rstrats]

But perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

 

[Sue D.]

And maybe you'd continue to not be satisfied.

 

[rstrats]

And maybe you'd continue to not be satisfied.

Which would be the case until someone shows examples.

 

[Sue D.]

You've already been presented with examples which you're not satisfied with.

 

[rstrats]

You've already been presented with examples which you're not satisfied with.

And as I've told you several times, with the possible exception of one, none of those submitted as examples have been.

You say I'm obsessed with this topic and yet you have posted over 60 posts when the topic doesn't even apply to you.

 

[Sue D.]

Well --yiu have had the one example.

Everyone is able to respond back to any thread subject they want to.

 

[Sue D.]

Maybe I think you're chasing something that doesn't really exist. I'll just ignore your thread.

You've said that before, but you keep coming back giving me a bunch of grief.

 

[Sue D.]

I'm simply challenging you s little. And there have been a fee others who give you info that you won't accept. So.

 

[rstrats]

I'm simply challenging you s little.

Please detail what you're challenging? What have I written that you are challenging?

 

[Sue D.]

You write the question.

 

[rstrats]

You write the question.

I did. What have I written that you are challenging?

 

[rstrats]

Sue D.,

You have a question directed to you in post #275.

 

[rstrats]

Perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

 

[Sue D.]

Have you noticed that no one new has looked at this thread?!
I get notifications when new comments are made on the forum. Which is how I new you are here Now.
You are still waiting for someone to give you the Right answer that you are looking for. It probably doesn't exist. And it appears that no one else is concerned about colloquialism. Not of any theological importance..

 

[rstrats]

Have you noticed that no one new has looked at this thread?!

That appears to be the case.

 

[rstrats]

But again, you never know, there may be someone new visiting this topic who knows of examples.
