It was Jesus that said 3 days and 3 nights.I am always open to new ideas.. its how we learn :)
It’s so odd that you eliminate the most obvious meaning - just to support your doctrine.1. Saying I am should have meaning. It means nothing if it just means he is here now
In other words. You can’t refute what I said.It’s so odd that you eliminate the most obvious meaning - just to support your doctrine.
Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can’t understand.
2 Corinthians 1:13
Once again, you did not answer the question....When Jesus was in the upper room, celebrating the fiest of unleavened bread. They were still under the Old covenant.
In other words. You can’t refute what I said.
YOU know all about that!Claiming victory instead of actually making a winning argument is much easier.
EXCUSE ME???How is this possible if we are not God?
I don’t know. How are you reading that? Do you suppose suppositions and logical questions may only be invoked to support a proposition?EXCUSE ME???
Am I reading that right?
Jesus did not use leavened bread for the passover and even if He was willing to violate the feast, neither John or Peter would do so. Where did you get this fiction? The bread of haste, the bread of the passover, is unleavened. It was made without using yeast and the time it takes for yeast to puff up the flour mixture. I guess that you're not familiar with the process of making bread. The passover lamb is eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.The Bible often presents us with a choice of two contrasting things that are poles apart. So it is with "leaven." It appears that Jesus used "leavened bread" because He was instituting the New Covenant and showing us that instead of sacrifices and feasts it would be "communion" with "wine" (or grape juice) and bread.

Good leaven:
Matt. 13:33 - He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
Luke 13:21 - It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
Bad leaven:
1 Cor 5:6 - Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
Gal 5:9 - A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Good and bad leaven in one sentence:
Mat 16:11-12 - How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread (autos)? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.....which is hypocrisy. (Lu 12:1)
1Co 5:7 - Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.
1Co 5:8 - Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Old Testament talk....New Testament denialJesus did not use leavened bread for the passover and even if He was willing to violate the feast, neither John or Peter would do so.

Fiction?? Are you calling Jesus' words fiction? Really?Jesus did not use leavened bread for the passover and even if He was willing to violate the feast, neither John or Peter would do so. Where did you get this fiction?
Yes, the Bible contrasts good and evil, but leaven always represents a corrupting influence in spiritual terms, but if you're not spiritual, you'll never understand spiritual things.The Bible often presents us with a choice of two contrasting things that are poles apart. So it is with "leaven." It appears that Jesus used "leavened bread" because He was instituting the New Covenant and showing us that instead of sacrifices and feasts it would be "communion" with "wine" (or grape juice) and bread.

Jesus never said that He was leavened bread or ate leavened bread for the passover. [comment removed]Fiction?? Are you calling Jesus' words fiction? Really?
Ok, Yeah it is.Claiming victory instead of actually making a winning argument is much easier.
Your still ignoring Context and the tradition.Once again, you did not answer the question....
"Since it was Jesus' last day on earth as a human, just when was He able to institute the New Covenant and how "communion" was to replace sacrifices and feast ---- after he was crucified? Really??"
The following chain of events is taken from a book called "The Christ of the Gospels." It a book that gives a chronological account of the ministry of Jesus from birth to resurrection and ascension.
Thursday evening and on into Friday morning
1. Jesus is in the upper room for His LAST SUPPER with His 12 disciples (the first members of the church)
2. The disciples eat of the leavened bread (autos/not...STRONGS G106:ἄζυμος, -όν, (ζύμη), Hebrew מַצָּה, unfermented, free from leaven; )
3. The New Covenant is revealed to the now 11 disciples.
4. They all go to the Mount of Olives.
5. They leave and go to the Garden of Gethsemane.
6. Judas reveals Jesus to the Jews that were looking for him.
7. Peter denies Jesus.
Sunrise Good Friday morning
8. Judas hanged himself.
9. Jesus goes before Pilate.
10. The ruling priest, the elders (12 tribal leaders?), the crowd, the Roman soldiers and the Bible scholars accuse Jesus.
11. The govenor frees Barabbas.
12. The Roman soldiers refer to Jesus as "King of the Jews" in a paradoxical manner because he really is our King.
13. Jesus carries His cross
14. A man from Cyrene carries the cross for Jesus.
15. The two criminals and Jesus go to Golgatha and are nailed to their crosses.
16. A placque is labeled "This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews" and nailed to the cross.
17. The thief on the cross believes Jesus and says to the other..."Aren't you afraid of God seeing that you are condemned just as He is?"
18. Jesus promised the thief that he would be with the risen Christ in Paradise.
19. Jesus dies at 3:00 p.m. on Good Friday
20. Jesus arose from the dead on Easter Sunday
NOW, WHEN DID JESUS INSTITUTE THE NEW COVENANT IF HE DID NOT DO IT UNDER THE OLD COVENANT EVEN THOUGH THE SEPTUAGINTS TRANSCRIBED THE GREEK WORD AS LEAVENED BREAD AT THE LAST SUPPER.
That same Greek word "autos" is in two of my Interliner Bibles. These are facts. They are not my biased "opinions". In Mark 14, Mark used both "Unleavened Bread" and "bread." This is for the use of "Unleavened Bread" of which Mark was merely giving the "title" of the feast; he was not discussing what was in the feast. But in verse 22 he does use the word "autos". That means that the 70 Septuagint transcribers understood that "bread" had two meanings to it....
Strong's: of Unleavened Bread
And you are still avoiding my question.....Your still ignoring Context and the tradition.
Your argument is with God's Word; not mine.Jesus never said that He was leavened bread or ate leavened bread for the passover.
Jhn 6:48 I am the bread of life.Jesus never said that He was leavened bread
I don't care about thisAnd you are still avoiding my question.....
I repeat...

Mark 14 - Interlinear
1. ῏Ην δὲ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας.
Was but the passover and the unfermented [cakes] after two days.
22. Καὶ ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐλογήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ
And eating of them having taken loaf having blessed he broke and
