Am I the only poster who cares about this?

I always wondered why archaeologits can't just look for a Jewish calendar for whatever year Jesus died (I have read both 31 and 33) to see what day of the week Nisan 14 was on. That would settle it.
What has been discovered is that at the time when Jesus was crucified, it was a High Sabbath and the preparation was on the Wednesday, so He went to the cross on Wednesday afternoon, and He and those crucified with Him had to be taken down before the Thursday because that was the special Sabbath time. So, we had Wednesday night, Thursday, Thursday night, Friday, Friday night, Saturday (the normal sabbath day), Saturday night, and He rose from the dead on Sunday morning. This is why the women could not get to the tomb before Sunday morning, because they could not travel on the Sabbath.
"High Sabbaths, in most Christian and Messianic Jewish usage, are seven annual biblical festivals and rest days, recorded in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.[1][2][3] This is an extension of the term "high day" found in the King James Version at John 19:31."
I Googled "Easter date" to learn why the holiday is so late this year, a full month after the Paschal Moon's appearance. It turns out Christians simplify things by making the start of a spring a fixed date (March 21) instead of going by when the season actually changes (March 20 this year), which was the date of the Paschal Moon.
Now why on Earth would people want to go by the Paschal Moon to choose a date?
After 6pm is considered the next day...so when he was taken down late Wednesday...they considered it Thurs
Jesus died about sundown. The empty grave was found Sunday morning, so he rose Saturday about sundown. Count back three days and three nights and you find he died Wednesday about sundown. The passover that year was on a Thursday. The passover sabbath took precedence over the weekly sabbath. People have been confused for thousands of years because there were two sabbaths that week.
That is impossible for a number of reasons. Also, He resurrected anytime after sunset on the Sabbath (Saturday). Stop making this 72hr timeline a thing, because it isn't...

I did miscalculate. Jesus and the disciples had the last supper on the Wednesday night. Jesus was crucified on the Thursday and the Passover was on Thursday night. One of the mistakes some have made was that they concluded that the last supper was the Passover, which it wasn't. It if was, the gospel writers would have made that quite clear. So, if Jesus was crucified at around midday on the Thursday, and rose on the following Sunday morning, then it was three days and three nights as the gospels say.That is impossible for a number of reasons.

As I said in my previous post, the last supper was not the Passover. The Passover was the day after. So the disciples would have eaten the Passover on the Thursday night. The Friday was the preparation day for the Saturday Sabbath, so the three on the crosses would have to be taken down Thursday night. The women would have prepared the spices for the the body on the Friday, but could not go to the tomb on the Saturday because it was the Sabbath. So the soonest they could get to the tomb would be Sunday morning.Jesus died about sundown. The empty grave was found Sunday morning, so he rose Saturday about sundown.

Being faithful Jews, they would certainly have observed the Passover on the night after Jesus was put in the Tomb, even though the gospels don't mention it.Jesus was crucified at 12:00 and died at 3:00.
People think The Last Supper was the start of Passover because the next day was Passover. What they do not think about is the Preparation Day part, indicating the traditional Passover seder must have occured a day later.There is no mention of the apostles having such a meal after Jesus was crucified.
Ahh! Judaea was a Roman province under a Roman governor, so it was subject to Roman law. Jewish law applied only to the religious and moral observances. When Paul, while being attacked by the Roman mob in Jerusalem, said to the Roman soldier that he was a Roman citizen, he was immediately rescued, because by Roman law, Roman citizens when under threat, have to be protected. And that is what happened in Jerusalem under Roman law.But Jesus did not die in Rome, so that law is irrelevant.
72 hours makes it impossible for Jesus to have risen "on the third day". It is you who is calling Jesus a liar.It certainly is a thing. The bible says in several places "three days and three nights". That equals 72 hours and any other figure calls God and Jesus liars.
My view is that the last supper was on Wednesday night, the 4th night; Jesus was crucified around midday on the Thursday, and died at around 3pm and was put in the tomb. The Passover was on Thursday night, Preparation day Friday. Sabbath Saturday, the empty tomb Sunday morning.Which means Jesus could not have died on a Friday. You circled back to my original post.
Your comment about the women waiting until Sunday morning to see Jesus at the tomb supports the idea he died on a Wednesday at rose on a Saturday night.
BTW you have a cute kitty.
