Resurrection Day

Am I really the only person in all the world that thinks Jesus rose from the dead on Monday, three days after He was put to death on Friday?
Like Jonah was in the whale time space and all that?

I thought Jesus rose on the third day. And that each day was named. The first day was friday. The day Jesus died was the 1st day. The second day was the day between the death and the rise. That was the 2nd day. The third day was the day Jesus rose again. He rose on on the third day.

if that's the case then you wouldn't name the day he dies the 0th day. Therefore it is possible Jesus Dies on Friday, rose on Sunday and met the diciples on the monday.

Correct me if my theology is wrong, i have no theological backing whatsoever to my opinion. It's just how i've seen it.

should have previewed that first and i would have noticed i had too many "on"s in there.

just to add to my opinion, I don't think it's important how many days Jesus took to rise, He rose and that is what is important. The Easter weekend was originally a pagan festival to the fertility Goddess anyway. What needs to be grasped here is the importance of believe that Jesus did rise again, not when, where and how long after his death. He rose!! Let's contemplate the wonder of the truth in that.

Good answer, Rayd, thank you.

And to think that all these years my family have suffered waiting until Monday to get their Easter eggs! Now how can I break the habit of a life time!
