Let's get this cleared up as you still seem to not understand. "Friday" is not in your Bible. You trying to use the ETYMOLOGICAL evolution of how the term was applied to the Greeks Friday. That has nothing to do with the scriptures. It was still just "preparation" for them.
And no not ANY sabbath will be exactly 7 days after the previous Sabbath but those that Philo showed would be which were those that were part of the lunar month being counted after the new moon.
As for history, Philo of Alexandria was contemporary of the period and of such high scholar of Jewish customs and laws and Greek.

First, I never said "Friday" was in the Bible. I said, more than once, that the day we call Friday was called "parasceue" in the Bible. "Parasceue " means "prepraration." "Parasceue" was always the 24 hour period immediately preceding the Sabbath and ends at sunset of "Parasceue" when the Sabbath began. It was the preparation of the Sabbath and could not vary. Philo is NOT scripture. Nowhere in scripture does it say any Sabbath would deviate from any of this. It appears you are desperate to make the Bible say something else. If you can support your argument using only scripture let us see it. Otherwise, it is what it is.

The Sabbath day was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Jesus was in the Tomb that whole time.

There are many studiers and some who are scholars who would disagree. There are a few different dates given as to when he was actually crucified and resurrected.

My point was just to point out different views because no one knows when either event actually occurred - it's all guess work. Those who study research back to those dates and times and lunar years, and The Jewish Sabbath and such and come up with different years as well as different dates - so something somewhere is in error.

Now I state my personal belief which I believe the crucifixion and Resurrection occurred - nor I am a scholar of a possible when _ 1) he was crucified on a Wednesday buried before dark that same day. I believe he rose after 6:00 p.m. on what the Roman calendar considers as Friday evening but the Jewish calendar considers the morning of the 7th day Sabbath.

No Philo is not scripture but the best source of Jewish law at the time of Christ as a contemporary of the period. There is no deviation because there is no deviation. I'm not desperate for anything. Scholars already understand that the period used a lunar calendar. Even the Jewish Encyclopedia shows this.

I care nothing about a lunar calendar it does not enter into this topic. When Philo or any other scholar contradicts scripture then Philo etc. is wrong.
Jesus was crucified and taken down before sunset on Parasceue/preparation [parasceue corresponds to our Friday] He remained in the tomb throughout the Sabbath and arose the day after the Sabbath. That is scripture.

It says the gates are to be opened on the New moon and closed on the work days. So how can that happen if your saying the Jews used solar week days instead of lunar days? If it is a New moon on a Wednesday, and that is a work day, then what happens to the gate? It is supposed to be open on a new moon and closed on a work day. In that case (per your belief that the Jews used solar weekdays), your in a conundrum.

The only conundrum I'm in is trying to make sense of your posts.

Ezekiel 46:1.

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court facing east is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it is to be opened.

Now apart from the fact that you have taken this verse out of context, because Ezekiel is talking about the restoration of Israel; what it says is that the gates are to be opened on the sabbath and on the day of the New Moon. And closed the rest of the time.
The people of Ezekiel's day - those who heard/read these words - would have know exactly which day that referred to. For all you know, the Sabbath and the New Moon could have fallen on the same day - every New Moon could have been on a Sabbath.
It doesn't matter what calendar is being used, when the sabbath falls, whether the days are "luna", "sola" or anything else.

This has nothing at all to do with us, and especially not the crucifixion.

No a Sabbath could never fallen on a new moon. And neither could fall on a work day. That is the problem with those that don't believe that the Jews followed a Lunar Calendar. Again, you haven't described what should happen to the gates when a new moon falls on a work day.

I haven't a clue, and there's no reason why I should have to explain what happened to the gates on a certain occasion.
We are not in Ezekiel's day, there is no temple and we are not Jews.

And yes this does have to do with the crucifixion because it is an example with applying the wrong calendar type to the crucifixion and this verse makes it clear that they were using a Lunar Calendar.

They could use a Martian calendar for all I care.
It is irrelevant.

Do you know what God's will is? It is that we believe in Jesus and receive eternal life, John 6:40.
Do you know what God's work is? It is that people believe in Jesus and have eternal life, John 6:29.
Do you know how it is that we can approach God, talk to him, be forgiven and reconciled to him? It is because Jesus shed his blood for the forgiveness of sins, Matthew 26:28 and lay down his life for the sheep, John 10:11.

You show me one verse which says, "if you are using the wrong calendar and do not have the correct day for the crucifixion, you will not be saved."
God does not care which man made calendar people use - he cares that people accept the message of the cross and believe in his Son. When Paul was with the Corinthians he determined to preach only the cross - the fact of it, not the date.
Anything else is unnecessary.

Therefore, the 6th day of a Lunar week can fall on any day of the week. However, the crucifixion was on the 25th of March (Julian) in 31 AD. That day is a SUNDAY.

Perhaps this is my ignorance but how are days of the week affected by lunar/solar calenders? If it's a 7 day week 2 still follows 1, 3 still follows 2, after 7 it still loops back to 1, etc... How you count months doesn't really change this.

Well it didn't correspond to our Friday but the rest I agree with.
Again you say Friday but ignore the scholars and writings that fill in the missing information. The Hebrew calendar was based on the moon previously. You should thank me for trying to educate you on this. Here is more on where the change occurred:
Ask the Rabbi, JewishAnswers.org » Changing the Calendar

I don't need to ask a rabbi or a 1st century Jewish "scholar" about what I can read for myself.
Anything you say or quote which denies that "parasceue" corresponds to our "Friday" is patently false. By whatever name I am referring to the day before the Sabbath, it was called "parasceue," which means "preparation" and that day can only occur before the Sabbath, no amount of lunar mumbo-jumbo can change either one.
It appears you think you have found some long unknown secret about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus but you have not.
