Since you're not a 6th day of the week crucifixion advocate you probably won't know of examples.

Someone new looking in my know of examples.

rstrats started following I am not convinced

Are you implying that a person has the ability to consciously choose to believe things?

Perhaps a further wording of my request will make it a little more clear: 1. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth" 2. There are those who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week. 3. Of those, there are some who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb. 4. A 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection allows for only 2 nights to be involved. 5. To account for the lack of a 3rd night, some of those mentioned above say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language. 6. I would like to ask anyone who thinks that it was common, if they could provide examples to support that belief; i.e., instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime and/or no part of the night time could have occurred.

Since it's again been awhile, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

The Messiah said that 3 night times would be involved with His time in the "heart of the earth". However, there are those who believe that the Messiah died on the 6th day of the week and who think that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb or at the earliest to the time between the leaving of His spirit from His body and His resurrection on the 1st day of the week. But this belief allows for only 2 night times to be involved. To reconcile this discrepancy some say that the Messiah was using common Jewish figure of speech/colloquial language. I am simply asking for examples to support that assertion of commonality; i.e., examples where a daytime or a night time was forecast to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime or no part of the night time could have occurred.

Since it's crucifixion week, someone new looking in may know of examples.

Yowm, re: "YHWH did say some straight forward things that obviously you, as an unbeliever, haven't accepted as straightforward. Here are a couple..." The first one seems pretty straightforward. The second one not so much. re: " I wouldn't sweat over the minuscule items..." As I said, I'm simply curious. If it was common to forecast that a daytime or a night time would be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred, I would very much like to see examples of such a practice. re: "...are you playing 'gotcha'?" Even if that is one of my motivations, does it really matter to the validity of my question?

I do, but those who think the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week do not.

I wouldn't know where to start. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask those who believe in a 6th day of the week crucifixion/1st day of the week resurrection, and who try to explain the missing night time by saying that the Messiah was employing common idiomatic/figure of speech/colloquial language of the period, to provide examples to support their assertion.

Simply curious is all. If it was common to forecast that a daytime or a night time would be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred, I would very much like to see examples of such a practice.

kwikphilly, re: "Is that not the same as this...... " You didn't say what "this" is. re: "Huh?" I don't understand your question.
