Suddenly, for no reason whatsoever apparent, you turn to the Sadducees, the blindest of the blind Jews, to lead you off the clear and straight and guaranteed road which you started on at the correct sign board, saying,
Because the Sadducees were more right than the Pharisees in how they count the days to Yom haBikkurim and Shavuot/Pentecost.

If Passover occurs on a Tuesday evening (Nissan 14), then Wednesday (Nissan 15) is the first day of Unleavened bread and a Sabbath. If you take that Wednesday as the sabbath that defines Yom haBikkurim (day after the sabbath) and then you count seven weeks, and then take the day after the sabbath for day 50 - how is that Wednesday 7 weeks after Passover considered a sabbath? (which is what happens if you use the Pharisaic method of counting)

The gospel texts are clear that Our Lord rose on the first day of the week.

Are the above <<gospel texts ... clear that Our Lord rose on the first day of the week>>?
What do you say?

Are there <<gospel text>> missed?

Are there <<gospel text>> abused?

Not?
And if not, then where is the First Day of the week? In or outside, after the sequence and grand Divine scheme of the Passover of Yahweh events?
After, and outside!

And where is the Sabbath?
Where "God thus concerning the Seventh Day, spake: And God the day The Seventh Day, from all his works RESTED"... rested in Christ... in Christ in Resurrection from the dead.

Amen

You call this <<more right>>?! <<More right in how to count the days>>?!

Are you trying to be funny? But worse, from where has <Wednesday> crept into the equation? No sir, sorry, I for one find such a <count> impossible.

The Gospels count without extra-Biblical help. I found them simple, easy and unambiguous. They also provide 'help'. For example, Just follow the word "evening" in the day for day course of events.

Really exciting is the TO THE VERY TEXT NUMBERS in each Gospel comprehensive, exhaustive, precise and without exception co-incidence and correlation between all events and detail to sequence and time. In other words, everything and every aspect to everything, are in exact sequence to event and time of the Passover of Yahweh as written, in the Gospels.

Scholars find this synoptic orderliness of the Gospels, in all things to them the MOST ANNOYING.

Did you not catch that Wednesday was for discussion purposes?
Where do you start your countdown to Pentecost?

As in "Calvinist?" Interesting.

I know, right?

There is the rub. It remains a blind spot IMO that our SDA brothers have yet to apprehend. The exact same arguments for keeping the "Jewish" sabbath apply equally well to the other "Jewish" feasts and sabbaths. While throwing off Roman influence in many things, they still hold on to the replacement theology formulated in the 2nd century to avoid Rome's persecution of the Jews.

I get along fine with SDA - A good and gentle people, full of faith and charity, eager to read the Word and KNOW it. I often have talks with them, and have worshiped with them on Shabbat.

But your statement that they remain blinded by Rome is spot-on. Can Torah be divided? Can we pick-and-choose? I don't think so. Nothing added, nothing taken away.

If nothing else, actually be a disciple and example your Master - Follow Yeshua - He kept the Feasts... all of them.

If Passover occurs on a Tuesday evening (Nissan 14)

Can't be anyway... The lamb is inspected for four days, then, on the fourth day, in the afternoon, it is slaughtered - on the Day of Preparation.

Palm Sunday as day one (when the lamb is brought into the city) necessarily means Preparation Day - the day of the crucifixion - was Wednesday... which allows perfectly also, for 3 days and 3 nights.

But, folks not being aware of 'Jewish' things...

This post has a label at its top that says, 'New'. Not so.

Please tell me, you are posting in these discussions; have you read any post placed by others?

Where do you start your countdown to Pentecost?

I like to <start> with "the third day" and follow events back. For the passover's third day when God raised Israel up out of the Red Sea grave, was the reason why He gave them the Sabbath Rest Day in the Fourth Commandment. Jesus also -- it is written -- "when there was a great earthquake ON THE SABBATH ... and the angel of the Lord cast the stone from the grave", rose from the dead.

That's how I get "on the third day", "on the Sabbath", "ROSE";

"the Preparation which is the Fore-Sabbath ('Friday') ... great day sabbath" of the passover, "according to the Scriptures, BURIED";

and, "The first day they killed the passover", "the ninth hour", "late" (on Thursday), DIED.

"Three days thick darkness" of "the plague", that "was upon Him"!

But in many other ways as well. That's why I asked you, have you read the posts?
