What Day Did Christ Die?

[37818]

.

He would have been in the tomb on Friday and Saturday, 2 days.

Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night, 3 nights.

It is as if you didn't read post #97.

In the tomb,
Night. (Thursday-Friday.)
Whole day. (Friday.)
full night .(Friday-Saturday.)
Whole day. (Saturday.)
Full night. (Saturday-Sunday.)
Raised on the third day. Sunday.)

You are effectively denying Christ being raised on to the third day according to the word of God.

What I'm effectively stating is what I have stated before, no matter what day you pick for the crucifixion there is an apparent contradiction.

That means we are not counting the days according to the way the Jews counted them.

I have more to day about that but right now I'm cooking.

John 2:18-22, Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

What date and day was Mark 14:12? . . . the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

I am persuaded it was Wednesday Nisan 14th. The day before Christ was crucified. Mark 14:17. . . . And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

Exodus 12:18.
Deuteronomy 16:8.

What I'm trying to say is that pinpointing the day of the crucifixion is a mystery. I have pondered this most of my adult life trying to figure it out.

Whether Wed., Thur., or Fri,. there is a contradiction and I don't believe for one moment the fault is in the Scripture.

We are gathering information from 4 different authors addressing different audiences. We are missing something.

In one or the other authors we are missing the timing, misunderstanding, and I'm not smart enough in the ancient ways of Israel to figure it out and I gave up.

Please present each of the 4 difficulties. One at a time. So we can discuss each separately.

I had held a Friday crucifixion.
I read R. A. Torrey's explanation of his Wednesday view.
Based on Matthew 12:40, For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

In so doing I came upon evidence for the Thursday crucifixion. Jewish dates begin at Sun down. Mark 1:32, And at even, when the sun did set, . . . .

Mark 15:42-43, And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

Thursday evening is the beginning of the day of preparation.

I know how you feel, I once felt the same way, and it's a good feeling.

I can't get into it the way I used to when I was younger.

I've got something going on healthwise as I've mentioned before, when I begin something like this I get fidgety, irritated, and I don't know what it's coming from. I know from experience it's a place I don't want to be. I've found myself having to stick with the less complex issues that don't require stress, the things I can pull from memory.

If I begin pinpointing the issues with the 4 authors and reasoning out the differences to discuss them, that will take me where I don't want to go.

I would like to help you but I can't, my friend.

Ok.
Is there one specific question? That you would like me to address?

Anyway, in 30 AD Nisan 14th was a Wednesday.

If that was the year Christ was crucified the 14th was preparation day and the 15th was the High Day Sabbath.

That means Christ was crucified on Nisan 14th preparation day, a Wednesday crucifixion.

No, no question it's all a dead end, unless of course if the Lord would gift you and unlock to you the mystery.

Well, I at this time am persuaded the crucifixion 30 AD was on Thursday Nisan 15th, Julian date April 6. The day of preparation began Thursday evening Nisan 16th.

It's not entirely unreasonable that you are correct. We don't even know the year Christ was crucified so how could we know what day the High Day fell on at His crucifixion?

From my studies I came to conclusion, or guess if you will, it was a Wed. crucifixion fulfilling Christs' words that He would be in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights, That's basically all I have.
