[quote="Hill Top Is there a purpose to your inquisition about 3 days and 3 nights ? Actually, my inquisition is about the commonality of saying 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 be. and my purpose is simply...

Correct, examples (plural) of figures of speech which show that it was common to say 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 be. See the last two sentences of the OP. Is there a purpose to your inquisition about 3 day...

Since it's been a while, perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples. I came across this "figure of speech" on another site..."The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (John 1:29) The world...

The longer I live the more disunity and satanic junk I find espoused from false teachers and none bible believers everywhere. There's a lot of confusion about what the Bible actually says. Recently, I was reminded that there's still a push to disqualify the all of the Greek texts of the New Testame...

The longer I live the more disunity and satanic junk I find espoused from false teachers and none bible believers everywhere. It is no wonder because it was in Jesus's day as well as now.
