I believe Christ crucified on Thursday is more likely than Wednesday, but I also believe that the Friday teaching is no false teaching.
2 Tim 2:14 comes to mind as I believe the devil likes us to argue over this.

Of course everyone can believe as they wish. The problem is that most people think in modern terms and vocabulary. A person from that time would have no problem knowing what was meant. Calculations for days starting/ending are made from the evening sunset. Portions of a day are counted as one day.

I believe Christ crucified on Thursday is more likely than Wednesday, I've never heard anyone advocate that. It still doesn't solve the main difficulty the Wednesday advocates feel the need to solve (3 days and 3 nights), and I'm not sure how the sabbaths would line up with the biblical narrative. Is this just something you came up with or is there scholarly work behind it that you can point me to? (PM would probably be best to discontinue the thread hijack.)
