The biblical truth about 3 days & 3 nights!!!!

I noted with dismay that Mr. Woodrow is among the millions who naively "believe" in a translator, without seriously searching the Koine Greek Text from which our Bible has been translated! I am a bilingual person and I studied with great care much more than this 3day/night issue; and I can prove from the Greek N/T that there is NOT A SINGLE WORD in the entire N/T that would support a "first day of the week" theory! The Greek words for the "first" (protos) and "day" (himera) are not written there to support a "first day of the week" resurrection theory! This 3day/3night controversy has led to much division into Christ's body of believers for the past 1900 years; and this ought not to have happened IF the people "in charge" would have done their biblical "home work" with respect for the Greek text as well. Some in power only desire "high positions" rather than be honest in handling Christ's Words of truth! I read/write both Greek and Russian and I can tell you that their alphabet is almost identical! Therefore, if the people "in charge" would have learned at least the alphabet, they could have ascertained (with little help from Greek biblical lexicons/commentaries) the fact I just revealed above! It is SO OBVIOUS for a trained eye to see in ALL RELEVANT VERSES involving 3days/3nights issue that our Lord Jesus was raised from his grave immediately (and during twi-light time) "after the 3 days and 3 nights have duly expired", as HE ASCERTAINED WITH DIVINE AUTHORITY before the monitoring security services of the Hebrew temple! The point made in the Greek is CHRIST'S DIVINE AUTHORITY OVER DEATH, not necessarily "the time"; as in Greek grammar "time of action" is secondary concern before the "kind of action" principle. And, though in this case, since Jesus' divine authority over death and grave was paramount, it follows that He insisted on 3 days and 3 nights course...just because He wanted so, and He explained Himself why so! But, generally in Greek grammar, the "kind of action" principle is paramount, and the "time of action" is secondary! Very sincerely, Anthony Ianosel, Esq.

Ralph Woodrow has repented of his errors

The previous reviewer (who does not give his name) is a bigot whose mind has been made up and who refuses to be 'confused' by the facts. Thank God that Mr. Woodrow is a man of integrity and courage. He actually has admitted that he was wrong in his book "Babylon Mystery Religion" and he has been trying to set things straight. The previous reviewer needs to read this book carefully and do some serious soul-searching. I can heartily recommend all of Mr. Woodrow's books written since he repudiated his "Babylon Mystery Religion" tract a decade ago.
