That's right, if anybody wants to check it out.

No, no, no, in the 50s, yeah. 50s. Yeah, well, but we can go back.

Not only that, you're right, but within 20 years or so, that would tell us it existed, but... We know Saul of Tarsus became the Apostle Paul one to three years after the crucifixion. So he's on the road to Damascus. He has this encounter with the risen Christ. He becomes the Apostle Paul. Immediately he goes into Damascus and he meets with some apostles.

Many people believe this is when he was given that creed that he later wrote to the church in Corinth. Others say it was three years later, he went to Jerusalem and he met for 15 days with two eyewitnesses to the resurrected Jesus who were named in the creed, Peter and James.

And they had a meeting in Jerusalem for 15 days and some believe that's when he was given the creed by two people named in the creed as eyewitnesses. Either way, that means within one to six years after the death of Jesus, this creed is already in existence, therefore the beliefs that make up that creed go back even earlier, virtually to the cross itself.

And then you have a scholar like James D.G. Jones say, no, it's within months. So this is— And even Bart Ehrman, doesn't he— I'm not sure where he's at on that. But, you know, I read stuff like— Can we go through the timeline real quick?

Well, why was it three days? You know, he predicted like Jonah was in the fish for three days that he would be coming back in three days. So that was kind of a—I don't think it's a requirement necessarily, but it was three days on the third day he returned. The Jewish word for day was reckoned as an onah, which is O-N-A-H. And it meant a night and a day is an ona.

But any portion of an ona was considered as the whole. And so he died on Friday. He was in the tomb on Saturday. And he rose sometime Sunday morning. That's parts of three days that he was in, one day fully and parts of two others. But according to the Jewish reckoning of time, that's the third day. So he returns on the third day. You don't think there's any significance to that?
