And remember, the someone new needs to be someone who thinks the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd...

Someone new visiting this topic may know of examples.

Does anyone who is familiar with Maundy Thursday, the day during Holy Week which commemorates the last supper of the Messiah with the apostles know which part of Thursday that this took place - during the night time of the first half of Thursday, or during the daytime of the second half of Thursday?

In the immortal words of Struther Martin, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Absolutely not.

And as wrote in post #28, with the possible exception of the Esther reference, all of your other comments deal with issues for a different topic. And even if the Esther account is actually an example (and that is dependent on "three days, night or day" meaning the same thing as "three days and...

Please show where you provided the instances where a daytime or a night time was forecast or said to be involved with an event when no part of a daytime or no part of a night time could have occurred."

I wonder if you might provide a couple of them.
