16,283 words on something that doesn't matter! At all! Somebody has a lot of time on his hands.

(No, I didn't count them myself! I had http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...untwords.shtml do it for me. ;))

but your tim-ness:
you saw value in adding another 67 characters and spaces to the same discussion you reject.:smack

What's up? Are you devolving into some kind "relevance police" for this forum?

Why not consider including some positive energy in your contributions.:thumbsup Your sky is not always all dark clouds is it?

What a waste trying to figgure out an old calender.

The death of Jesus is the same as the death of all the founders of all religions.

His being alive is what matters.

I must admit, it was a long article (post), which I also admit that I did not really attempt to read in its entirety. Reason: It used the wrong reference calendar for the discussion.

As a result, the entire discussion was based of a false (incorrect) foundation. The argument also missed the same important elements that most Gentiles usually miss, i.e., the number of Shabbat days (Sabbaths) that were celebrated during Pesach (Passover week), or how many days Pesach is celebrated, which first day of which week was referenced to in scripture, etc. Then, we also forget that "Passover" changes every year on the modern calendar. On the Hebrew calendar, however, Pesach always falls on the same days it always has:

Erev Pesach and the fast of the first born on 14 Nissan (a seventh day Shabbat)

Pesach 1 on 15 Nissan

Pesach 2 on 16 Nissan

The eight days of Pesach ending on the 22ed of Nissan which includes another Shabbat on the 21 & 22ed.

The first day of the week of counting the Omer, the 16th of Nissan, the 15th being yet another Shabbat making two in a row.

The Roman calendar of those days was a ten month, eight day week calendar. Even the current seven day Hebrew calendar that is used was not establish until the middle of the fourth century after the Sanhedrin was disbanded by Roman edict. The Roman calendar was also changed to a seven day week during this period, and not for the last time were changes to be made to their calendar. The "new" seven day Hebrew calendar was fixed to this new Roman calendar.

The other question was, when did the women visit the tomb? The first day of the Hebrew calendar week (not likely), the first day of the then current Roman week (not likely), or the first day of the Omer week (the most likely).

This is the quick and dirty history.

Even with all of this information there are some discrepancies within the gospels as to which day Christ died. From all of the evidence, however, it seems most likely He died on the afternoon of 13 Nissan and it is also likely the the Jews were one day late in their monthly reckoning,something that happed every once in a while, because of the way the first day of each month was established (the first reposted sighting of the initial crescent of the new moon).
