this makes a Friday crucifixion impossible in my mind.
I totally agree and the fact that "good Friday", lent, and Easter all stem from pagan holidays. The Jews celebrate their holidays on their own calendar not the the one used by the pagans or the one we use today.
the feast of Passover was based off of what He would actually do
Exactly! Jesus was fulling the prophecy.
this is one more case of tradition replacing truth
Totally and this is why I do not celebrate Easter as the day Christ rose. It was Rome that merged the faith in Christ with the pagan traditions. We should be thankful and praise His name daily for what he did to save us, not just once a year.
Great post Brother!

Dear @jrswab,
You are correct in that the Scriptures need to be interpreted in the light of the Hebrew culture and the ordinances of the Torah.
In regards to “Palm Sunday”:
Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem was on Nisan 10 when the lambs were selected for the Passover sacrifice, it is relatively simple to prove it wasn’t on a Sunday.
Nisan 7 is the seventh day of the week - the Sabbath (Saturday). Three days later is Nisan 10 – Tuesday.
In regards to “Three days and Nights” please read my post:
HOW WAS JESUS ABLE TO CELEBRATE PASSOVER AND YET BE CRUCIFIED ON PASSOVER? How Can Friday Afternoon to Sunday Morning Be Three Days and Nights?
