death of Jesus Christ

Do you really believe that indeed Jesus Christ died in crucifixion on a Friday afternoon? If so, how do you reconcile the fact that He promised to all His disciples that He will rise three days after his death? three days is a good 72 hours in a 24-hour in a day simple chronology. Friday afternoon when the Lord Jesus Christ died until He is risen early Sunday morning is less than 72 hours!

I believe he was crucified on a thursday and rose on a saturday because the text reads that Mary found the empty grave on one of the sabbaths. And maybe a day in those days was not calculated as 24 hours but I'm not sure of that. Anyway I'm not good in mathematics.

24 hour a day cycle is a fairly modern calculation of time and during the time of Jesus and that Jews that time have different calculations of day cycles. They start from sunset to sunset, three days didn't mean in 72 hours but 3 day cycles.

i beg to disagree. sunset to sunset is still the same 24-hours, 3 day cycle is still 72 hours

This is an easy one - it goes according to the Hebrew fashion of counting days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is actually common knowledge. You could have researched it yourself (someplace other than myLot) and gotten the answer in one minute.

in reply to your question, i will mention in passing that Jesus rose near sunset of the weekly sabbath, exactly three days and three nights, fulfilling the sign of jonah. Now, can you answer my question my friend?
