As I said Passover floats around on our calendar and Easter floats as well since it is tied to Passover.

Hi thanks for the reply.

I think Sunday always falls on Sunday... three days and nights before.... Wednesday they fall on that day . I am not looking for number days but word days.

It seem you have a good understanding of the Julian calander and the Hebrew calander.
Your welcome,

And from what I've read the two calander are completely different, one is based on a lunar cycle and the other Caesar designed using the old Egyptian in which every year had 365 days and the new Alexandrian in which every fourth year had 366 days. Along with some others changes as well, once the calander only had ten months, then his astrologers convinced him that the calander needed two more months for the seasons to Align better, thus July and August he named and added. The Julian calander was introduced on Jan 1 45BC in the Roman world.

Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.

You are ignoring that it is the Jewish calendar that provides where in any other calender when Passover is located in it. That calender has never changed. Therefore it does not make any difference which other calendar is used.

All calanders make changes, all not some but all Your spinning a weekly day name calendar wheel and believing it's was on a Wednesday sum 2000yrs ago. You can even say in what year Jesus was born or died and scripture doesn't say nor does scripture tell you what Julian calendar day was the 14th Abib/Nisan was on.

I very carefully stared that based on the timing of the Passover that the closest to the weekly Sabbath the Sabbath Feast of Unleavened Bread would be on a Wednesday. Did you bother to understand what closest means? Do you understand the difference between an annual Sabbath and weekly Sabbaths? The days of the week are using the modern names except using Sabbath instead of Saturday. Also keep in mind that back then and currently in Israel the day starts at sunset! Another issue is the Jewish calender is used to set Easter to align with the Julian calender of today. Easter is tied to Passover.

I believe you very carefully stared at and look over the fact you can't look back in time and say the 14th Abib in 29AD was on a Wednesday.

Please show me again how you did the math to get to that idea?

There are seven annual sabbath known as high days and they are always on the same day as a weekly sabbath as well.

But like I said no man knows that day the 14th Abib equals to on a Julian calander in and around 30AD
Possibly more because after all he was in his forties when crucified.

Again you are putting words in my mouth I never stated. Do you have a problem understanding the current English language used in the USA? I used an example and carefully stated that simple fact. I never ever stated those were the dates. You seem to deliberately accuse me of something I never stated. If you continue after this response you are lying!!!

The reason Easter bounces around the calendar is to keep it aligned with Passover.
Easter was established in 325CE by the Council of Nicaea to occur on the
first Sunday following the first full moon following the vernal equinox :)

If you go through the calculations you will find it corresponds to Passover every time. They used the Passover calculations. Didn't state that fact but it is true.

Do what no such thing hoss, you said you have starred at it period, don't go making up something because your at a loss for words, I never accused you of any dates other than your Wednesday account idea is bogus because you can't roll back both calanders and know for sure the 14th Abib was on Wednesday.

Because I mentioned the 29AD and you flat out ran with it, I said that.

Your assertion made more than once was how did I know the day on the calender in 29AD. That was your statement about my post. You repeated it twice. Once after I explained I carefully did no such thing. You even repeat it in this post. Go take a long walk on a short pier.

What is starred at?

Stupid 5 minute rule again. Addendum to my previous post.
You need to learn how to count. What I stated was the LATEST day would be Wednesday with the tomb empty Sunday. It doesn't matter the year!! We are talking about the Passover last Sabbath in relation to the Sunday the tomb was found empty. Jesus rose in the late afternoon since he was buried in the late afternoon. The Sabbath he was crucified before was the Feast of Unleavened Bread the second Sabbath of Passover.
You tell me the LATEST day he was crucified. Here is the days of the week ending with sunday
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Sabbath Sunday
Tomb empty on Sunday.
Buried late afternoon.
3 nights and 3 days in the tomb.

You tell me with these facts about the Crucifixion, burial, and time in the tomb what is the LATEST day he was crucified and buried?

What has that to with the sequence of the Crucifixion burial and time before the resurrection based on the fact that the tomb was empty on Sunday. That is what the Bible states. It never gives the year. Therefore all we know is what the Gospels state about that sequence. Crucified before the second Passover Sabbath. 3 nights and 3 days in the tomb. Tomb empty on Sunday. What is so difficult of counting backwards from the empty tomb those 3 nights and days to know the LATEST day he was buried.
