Featured Palm Sunday myth.

Why do we celebrate Palm Sunday, if John indicates Jesus entered on Monday? What if Jesus entered twice, once briefly on Sunday, and then went to Bethany?
Mark 11:1-10
11:1 Now1 as they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,4 Jesus5 sent two of his disciples As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. and will send it back here soon.’” they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it. 11:5 Some people standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” let them go. they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks12 on it, and he sat on it. 11:8 Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! 11:10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. And after looking around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve since it was already late.
John 12:1-2
12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead. there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was among those present at the table with him.
John 12: 12-14
12:12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. and went out to meet him. They began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!” 12:14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

 

Awesome!!!

I'll call in my religious holiday this monday.

Thanks, I really didn't want to go to work!

 

It is a nice trip from myth to fringe interpretation. Six days before the Sabbath is the prior Sunday. Thus Palm Sunday. Jesus died on the following Friday, spent 3 days in the tomb (part of Friday, all day Saturday, and part of Sunday) and arose Sunday about sun up. That is the traditional view, mine as well.

On Easter Sunday, I will greet my siblings in Christ with "He is risen" and they will respond, "He has risen indeed!" Old school.

 

The old school view is the Passover was Saturday, and therefore Jesus died on Friday around the same hour many Jewish families were killing their Passover lamb. No one denies Exodus refers to the 14th day of the month, what is denied is that the Passover was some day other than Saturday.

 

I have presented my view, the traditional one. Your view IMHO denies truth.

 

Awful glad we had someone to come along and all of the sudden straighten us out on this. Whew!

 

Why celebrate Palm Sunday as different from every other Sunday, even if John indicates Jesus entered on Sunday?

Why not do that every Sunday?

 

People of today reading the Dead Sea Scrolls: Whoo, boy, look at how much these guys argue about the correct dating of the calendar.

People 1000 years in the future reading the Baptistboard archives: Whoo, boy, look at how much these guys argue about the correct dating of biblical events.

 

Palm Sunday is before Passion Week not during or after

 

He dies Wed afternoon, like a PASSOVER LAMB. Passover began Thursday at sunset

 

Six days before the Sabbath is the prior Sunday. Thus Palm Sunday. Jesus died on the following Friday, spent 3 days in the tomb (part of Friday, all day Saturday, and part of Sunday) and arose Sunday about sun up. That is the traditional view, mine as well.

 

In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

I think he died on the fourteenth day, the Passover, a Wednesday, and the feast began at sunset that same Wednesday, the fifteenth day of the first month which began at sunset.

 

Jesus did not die on Fri, before the weekly sabbath, He dies on Wed afternoon before Passover

 

The Hebrew day begins at Sunset, He ate the Feast of Preparation as the Last Supper. He was dead the next afternoon before the Passover Seder

 

This thread has people making claims not supported from scripture, but rather from historical references that could be right or could be wrong. Six days before the Sabbath is the prior Sunday. Thus Palm Sunday. Jesus died on the following Friday, spent 3 days in the tomb (part of Friday, all day Saturday, and part of Sunday) and arose Sunday about sun up. That is the traditional view, mine as well.

I have shown from Mark that Jesus entered Jerusalem on Sunday. Thus Palm Sunday.

Yes, others believe the traditional view is incorrect based on historical sources, not scripture.
