quote-However, this practice itself does not mean they are preaching a false gospel. Despite your additions to what Paul preached, he did not mention the specific days that Christ died on, and making belief in these necessary for salvation, as you inferred, is a false gospel.

I recall saying sanctification in a post, not salvation. That may be mind reading on your part.
I can go back and see and will apologize if I did. But you used the ‘inferred’ which tells me, it was you who thought that, not I.

Sola Scriptura, shall we?

Paul to the Corinthians 1 Cor 15
1Now I make known to you, brethren, THE GOSPEL which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
1 Cor 15:3
3For I delivered to you as of FIRST IMPORTANCE what I also received, that Christ died for our sins ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, 4and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES,…

So, Paul is making known the gospel in 1st verse in the 3rd verse says, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that the FIRST IMPORTANCE TO THE GOSPEL IS THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDINING TO THE SCRIPTURES. And Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, uses the ‘According to the Scriptures twice in consecutive verses)

What Scriptures is Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, referencing here?

The Holy Spirit could have inspired Paul to just write that Christ died for our sins, leaving out the ‘According to Scripture’ or as some versions state ‘In Accordance with the Scriptures’

But that isn’t what is written.

When one has the 2nd version (in Accordance with the Scriptures) it becomes clearer Paul is referencing the Old Testament Scriptures and not Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.

So, why would according to scripture be in there?

Maybe because prophecy would show that someday other versions of events would pop up that wouldn’t be ‘according to scripture-

We have some who think he died on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
How does one know the Truth?

Well, we are to be sanctified in the Truth. His Word is Truth.

There are different versions of the 1st importance today! Not just Rome’s Good Friday.

Passover doesn’t equal Good Friday or Wednesday or Thor’s Day and Good Friday or Wednesday or Thor’s Day don’t equal Passover, it seems much more clear. That comes with study and testing those teachings and doctrines with Scripture.

Rome can’t even get what Paul calls the first importance of the gospel correct.
And because of it, they have birthed other versions that have people saying it was another Roman day (like Thor or Tiw’s Or Woden’s when Christ died for our sins)

Is it a minor detail? Most would say yes. Protestant daughters certainly would run to Rome’s defense of her calendar, but maybe not all climb on board her Good Friday.

But from that false premise of Rome’s authority, lots of people can’t see how that 1st importance is muddied.

And without the scriptures, one can’t know Truth.

But the enemy is more subtle than anything in the garden..

According to the Scriptures, Christ died for our sins on Passover, the 14th Day of the Father’s 1st month.

Passover can fall on any day of Rome’s week. It can land on a Roman Monday, Tiwsday, Woden’s Day or a Thor’s Day or a Friday, Saturday (against Judaism’s rules but not the Father’s) and a Sunday.

Anybody ever ask the Father why Passover is not on a Friday every year?
I have.

Anybody ever ask Rome why Good Friday isn’t Passover every year?
I didn’t have to because the Father told me the difference between Passover, according to the Scriptures and Good Friday according to Rome.

Is that, at it’s most infantile elementary level, another gospel? Does it matter?
Depends on whether people want Sola Scriptura to be the final arbiter of religious doctrinal debates- or not.
