sorry i dont accept the book of jubilees prophetic things. out of the apochrya i only see the historical reference having value. other wise eve wasnt the first wife that adam had.

that contradicts the biblical account in genesis. that is another topic and for another thread.

By my count, Jesus was crucified on Thursday. The next day was a Sabbath, as it was the beginning of the Passover.
Scripture says that it was Preparation day before the Sabbath began. That can only happen on a Friday. And besides that it says that Mary did not go to the tomb on Sunday in obedience to the law. And also two Sabbaths together makes a plural. [Sabbaths]

Adam had only one wife. Can you pin point this error that you are speaking of? Book and verse.

:gah It's unfortunate that some Christians want to turn such an occasion into legalism, ignoring that it doesn't matter what day one celebrates, as long as it is celebrated and remembered.

Yeah, that's the way I see it too. Who cares what day? If you want to celebrate the sacrifice of our Lord on Wednesday, go ahead, as long as you are celebrating our Lord, what does it matter?. I celebrate on Good Friday, and will probably continue to do so. The point is honoring the death of our Lord.
 
Joh_19:31, The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

I don't see it makes a lot of difference myself, which day we observe. But just so the point is made clear, here is the verse that agrees that it was not just the weekly Sabbath, but a special Sabbath, a high day. so it was Thursday folks, not Friday. :)

What day is the Sabbath [ 7th day ] to an Orthodox Jew? The Feast of Unleavened Bread is the day the Jews went out from Egypt. They would not have traveled on the Sabbath. [ 7th day of rest ] Passover was always on a Saturday [14th], and the Feast of Unleavened Bread [15th] always on a Sunday. The holy days were changed by the Kabbalistic Jews who introduced the Lunar calendar.

Are you Muslim? According to Islam, Miriam, the sister of Moses was the mother of Jesus. With beliefs like that, your contentions about Adam are more than suspicious. So, where in the koran does it say Adam had multiple wives?

Who died and left man to decide what day, when God said the seventh? He rested the seventh day from his creation work. As a memorial to HIS creation, we are to rest as well. Let it percolate.

Since God Himself says it is the seventh day, it makes a whole lot of difference when we disobey.

that person is of a jewish folklore, i thought she had origins in apochyra. in either case, if it aint in the bible now.as it was tooken out for a reason.
it aint meant to be in the bible at all. i do believe that the lord is able to keep his word true.
 
Jesus said in Matthew 12:40, “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.†Those who argue for a Friday crucifixion say that there is still a valid way in which He could have been considered in the grave for three days. In the Jewish mind of the first century, a part of day was considered as a full day. Since Jesus was in the grave for part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday—He could be considered to have been in the grave for three days. One of the principal arguments for Friday is found in Mark 15:42, which notes that Jesus was crucified “the day before the Sabbath.†If that was the weekly Sabbath, i.e. Saturday, then that fact leads to a Friday crucifixion. Another argument for Friday says that verses such as Matthew 16:21 and Luke 9:22 teach that Jesus would rise on the third day; therefore, He would not need to be in the grave a full three days and nights. But while some translations use “on the third day†for these verses, not all do, and not everyone agrees that “on the third day†is the best way to translate these verses. Furthermore, Mark 8:31 says that Jesus will be raised “after†three days.

I found this on an apologetics site. I think the evidence supports Friday as the most logical choice. If in eternity it turns out to be wrong, I can accept that.
 
Luke 23:56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath-s in obedience to the commandment-s. The correct translation should have been Sabbaths [plural], because no work was to be done on that Saturday or Sunday. Mary did not break the law by attending Yahshua,s grave on Sunday. Leviticus 23. The Passover and Unleavened Bread
4 " 'These are the LORD's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The LORD's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD's Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the [first day] hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. The first day of the week has always been Sunday. And the first day of the week [after those Sabbaths [plural] is Monday.

Hey, Kumri, the phrase you quote is about the antichrist.
Now, why do you quote from the KOran?

I always think about that phrase 'he shall think to change the times and law" when it comes to so called Christian traditions and laws.

Yahushua it seems died on the day of Passover a.k.a. the 14th day of Ahbib a.k.a. Nisan which when translated into Ceasars calander was last March 30th. God Himself instituted this feast he commanded it was to be observed forever from generation to generation. My wife and I observe this day. Traditional for well over 2000 years. We broke bread, wrapped the middle matza in linen and hid it away until the third cup of wine, before the meal dipped our bread in bitter herbs that brought tears to our eyes in rememberance of the bitterness of suffering of the True Passover Lamb crucified for our sins. All these things we do not as a work of self-rightoueness in attempt to please God but to observe those things he commanded us to observe that we remember Him.

Unfortunetly there are others who still look back to their freedom from slavery and exodus from Egypt. But now we have a new commandment that is to remember Christ as our Lamb. The Lamb who freed who freed me from the bondage of sin and death. So, I observe the Passover as the Lord has commanded I also have Him as example as He kept the same commandment the night when He was betrayed.

Additonally on the third day He rose again that would put it on time and on target with the Feast of First Fruits. Amazing Gods calander.
