Many believe that the seven day feast can start on Friday rather than Saturday which would put Jesus`s death on Thursday instead of Friday which puts Jesus in the grave more like three days instead of two and it makes perfect sense to me.

Then we are in fair agreement. though I believe he died upon a Wednesday (He must be in the belly of the earth for three days and nights).

What most people don't understand is that the spring feasts are beholden to two different time series:

Passover, and therefore the Feast of Unleavened Bread are tied to the first day of the month, which can fall on any day of the week... Thus Passover can fall on any day of the week, just being 14 days past the first of the month.

First Fruits and the Counting of the Omer, and thereby Shavuot (Pentecost), are tied to a day of the week (the day after the first Sabbath after Passover).

Thus these two sets are different, but 'float' closely together, the difference being made up between Passover, and the next Sabbath after Passover.... That 'float' in the year that Yeshua died, must contain precisely three days and three nights.

And the feast of weeks do not change the fact that there is a Sabbath day every seven days.

True again. The Sabbath has not changed. And there is no defense for those who say it has.
