Good Thursday - Page 2

Freedom 07, granted, I did not read the entire article (I hate reading links) but there is nothing I saw which clearly refuted Luke 24:1-10. If you don't mind, would you care to explain the assertions?

Early Christians gathered for worship on Sunday. I saw nothing to refute that, either.

Maybe I just didn't see it, though. As I said, I don't like reading links.

Exodus 12 gives us insight into the Jewish Passover.

"1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb [a] for his family, one for each household.

It goes on to say, about the Lambs

"6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs."

The Passover parallels directly what Jesus, the Lamb of God went through as he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

He entered Jerusalem on Sunday, for 4 days they were given time to study/take care of him, he then was crucified and killed by twilight. He was then raised in three days, and was seen Sunday morning by the women.

Praise the Lord

Well, I'm glad you started this thread. Somehow, I overlooked the little comment made by John about the High Sabbath. Thank you Gary. I spent a couple hours on this, but couldn't make the Companion Bible explanation work either. The problem there was that there are numerous passages that state that Jesus and His disciples did indeed eat the Passover not just a last supper.

The scripture gives the day of the week for the resurrection and the day of the month for the Passover. I don't see a connection between the two - to link them together. I suspect that the answer may be found in the Mishna as to how they conducted the passover.

Yeshua was resurrected at the end of the Sabbath; not early on a Sunday morning (the first day).

As far as I know, Sunday was the last day of the week. Even today some cultures see Monday as the first day of the week and Sunday as the last.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus was raised in 3 days, not 2. That is the main point I was attempting to make.

Then how do you think that this became the common perception?

I'm not sure, but but if Jesus died on a Friday and was raised on a Sunday- its only 2 days.

This is why i Proposed the three day increment. I am not familiar with the ancient calenders. Whether it was a Friday to a Monday, or a Thursday to a Sunday. As long as it doesnt contradict Jonah's prophecy it should be accepted

As it is, Jesus was raised on the third day. This depends on whether one counts Friday (because he would have been buried before sunset) as a day. If one counts Friday, then we have Friday during day & night, Saturday for the same, and then Sunday, with Jesus being raised around dawn (the beginning of the day)

I just find it hard to believe that such a grievous error as you sre proposing would have occurred and then been maintained to the present day.

Overall, perhaps more important is Luke 9:22, where Jesus predicts the he shall be raised on the third day, and then Luke 24:7, where he repeats this after his Resurrection.

I am also a three day man.
