Produktbeschreibung

The Bible does not say on what day of the week Jesus was crucified. The Bible says that Jesus was crucified on Preparation Day and the next day was a special Sabbath. Most Christians assumed that the special Sabbath was a Saturday. Hence they concluded that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. This is not a good assumption. The special Sabbath occurs on Nisan 15th, a day of the Hebrew calendar, whose weekday changes every year. Hence the assumption that Preparation Day was a Friday on the year Jesus was crucified is not necessarily valid. In the fourth century AD the church made the assumption that Preparation Day was a Friday using the faulty logic described earlier to institutionalize Good Friday. The assumption that Preparation Day was a Friday caused some contradictions with the scriptures. Most notably, Jesus failed the sign of the Messiah by not spending three full days in the tomb. There have been some unconvincing attempts to rationalize Jesus spending less than two days in the tomb. Jesus says that scripture will be fulfilled to the slightest punctuation mark. The author noticed problems with conversation of the road to Emmaus due to the Friday Preparation Day assumption. The author also noticed problems with the scriptures about the women preparing spices due to the Friday Preparation Day assumption as well. All of these scriptural problems disappear if a Preparation Day of Wednesday is assumed. The church has put up with these problems for centuries rather than correcting the Friday Preparation Day assumption made in the fourth century AD.

Autorenporträt

The author is a retired computer programmer. The author has always been concerned that the common Easter narrative of a Friday evening burial and Sunday morning resurrection did not satisfy the sign of the Messiah. The sign of the Messiah required Jesus to spend three full days in the tomb before the resurrection. Arguments that the shorter time in the tomb was OK seemed unconvincing to the author. Jesus said that even the smallest punctuation mark of scripture must be fulfilled. The Bible does not say that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. The Bible says Jesus was crucified on Preparation Day and the following day was a special Sabbath. A special Sabbath is not necessarily a Saturday so it does not follow Preparation Day was a Friday. This assumption that Preparation Day was a Friday was made by the church in the fourth century AD. The author technique was to assume that Preparation Day was a Friday and then ask questions. The Roman guard was posted till the third day which would have been till Monday at sundown. Would the women go the tomb Sunday while the Roman guard was posted? Would the Roman soldiers agree to say on Sunday that they were asleep while on duty? This is very unlikely since it would cost them their necks. The author noted that the Friday Preparation Day assumption also caused problems with conversation on the road to Emmaus. The Friday Preparation Day caused problems with scriptures about the women preparing spices. The author's questions expose the problems in the common Easter narrative. All these problems including the sign of the Messiah could be fixed by assuming Preparation Day was a Wednesday the year Jesus was crucified.
