sojourner,
re: "There is scriptural reference to worship on the first day of the week."
I didn't say that there isn't. And you even quoted what I did say in response to your assertion, i.e., "...that the first Christians... celebrated the Resurrection on the first day of the week..." I merely...

But so far no one visiting this topic has said they believe this, much less provided examples of commonality.

re: "I suppose you didn’t know that the first Christians went to synagogue on Saturday, because they were observant Jews. then, they also celebrated the Resurrection on the first day of the week (according to the Bible, the day of the Resurrection)."
Actually, scripture is silent...

re: "Good luck finding anyone."
OK, thanks. But you never know; there may be someone in the future visiting this topic who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week, and who thinks the "heart of the earth" refers to the tomb, and who tries to explain...
allright,
re: "Mary ran by herself to tell the disciples as soon as she saw the tomb was empty before the angel appeared and spoke to the other women"
So you're saying that John 20:2 can be inserted after Matthew 28:2 and before Matthew 28:5? And that the "women" mentioned in Matthew 28:5...
Someone new visiting this topic may know of examples. And that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to...
Matthew 28:1-10 says that when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb that she was told by an angel that the Messiah had risen and would be seen in Galilee. Matthew then says that she ran "with great joy" to tell the disciples and while on the way that she met the Messiah (this occurred before she got...

re: "No, this thread is about three days and three nights."
As I've told you previously, the topic title and OP were poorly stated with regard to the intent of the topic. However, they were clarified in a number of subsequent posts and most recently in post# 302:
1. The...

re: "Yes, the purpose of the story of Jonah was to show that Jonah spent 3 full days and 3 full nights in the fish and Jesus would spend 3 full days and 3 full nights in the tomb."
And that's an issue for a different topic.

re: "That is the essence of the Sign of Jonah, so whatever the count of days, Jesus did not die on the Cross. that must remain in focus. Right...?"
Perhaps for a different topic, but not for this one.
paarsurrey,
re: "Whatever the day Jesus was put on the Cross. But Jesus could not and did die on the Cross. There is, therefore. no question of Jesus rising from the dead and hence no question of Jesus' ascension to the skies."
That's an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you could start one.

re: "Maybe I can't read so I need a better explanation of what this means. How could no part of a daytime or nighttime occur if everything that happens either happens during part of a day or part of a night?"
You're apparently reading "or" as "and".
lostwanderingsoul,
re: "I do believe I can read. Look two posts back and see what you said."
I looked back and I don't see where I said that there is more than one instance 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...
Stevicus,
re: "Why don't they believe?"
Well, a belief can't be consciously chosen, so apparently they haven't been exposed to the appropriate stimuli to cause their subconscious mind to engender one.
lostwanderingsoul,
re: "Everything occurs either in daytime or nighttime. Can you explain more about what could occur when no part of a day or night could occur."
I can't. Why do you ask?
re: "And you say there are more than one instance of this. Can you give us one or more of these...
