This appeared to be a so called Bible error. Was the duration of the feast of unleavened bread 7 days or 8 days?
[Exodus 12:18 KJV] "In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even."*************on the 14th day of Abib they ate unleavened bread until the 21st day, This is a total of 8 days. [Exodus 12:19 KJV] "Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.".**************** this verse says they were to eat unleavened bread for 7 days not 8 days. Is this an error? Here is the solution; verse 18 says unleavened bread from the 14th day to the 21st day. Verse 19 says unleavened for 7 days which is from the 15th day to the 21st day.

It is said that Peter and the other apostles preached the one and only gospel in the Bible. They preached the death and resurrection of Christ for eternal salvation for all. This isn't upheld by this passage***************[John 20:7 KJV] "And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself." [John 20:8 KJV] "Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed." [John 20:9 KJV] "For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."**********They couldn't preach a gospel of the resurrection without believing it or knowing the scriptures.

[Mark 16:9 KJV] "Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.".........Jesus was raised SUNDAY early in the morning.
I will present the time line to prove this.
[Genesis 1:5 KJV] "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." [Genesis 1:8 KJV] "And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.".........For Israel a day starts at evening and continues thru daylight. At the end of daylight, evening starts the next day.
[Matthew 12:40 KJV] "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.".............Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights. [Matthew 17:23 KJV] "And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."............Jesus said he would rise the third day.
Following is a brief summary of the timeline for a Thursday crucifixion
Wednesday evening and the morning, this is Thursday, the day Christ was crucified
Thursday evening and the morning is Friday, the first night and first day in the tomb
Friday evening and the morning is Saturday, the second night and second day in the tomb
Saturday evening and the morning is Sunday the third night and the third day, Jesus rose the third day

HERE IS A DETAILED STUDY OF THE THURSDAY CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST
[Matthew 26:17 KJV] "Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?"........ this is WEDNESDAY the 14th of Nissan/Abib Passover day. This is the preparation day for the Passover feast
[Mark 14:12 KJV] "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?"......this is WEDNESDAY Nissan 14th.The Passover lamb was killed the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. The lamb was killed around 2pm or 3pm.
[Matthew 26:20 KJV] "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve." [Matthew 26:21 KJV] "And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.".........This is WEDNESDAY evening Nissan 14th evening. This is "the last supper" There is debate as to whether they ate the Passover meal on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning; a Jewish day ends at evening, which is the start of the next day, which in this case would be Thursday.
[Matthew 26:34 KJV] "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the **** crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." [Mark 14:30 KJV] "And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, [even] in this night, before the **** crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.".........I think we are now into THURSDAY. Thursday would have started when Wednesday evening ended, which coincided with the Passover meal.
[Matthew 26:36 KJV] "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder."......This is THURSDAY
[Matthew 26:57 KJV] "And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled." [Luke 22:66 KJV] "And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying," [Luke 22:67 KJV] "Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"...........This is THURSDAY morning
[Matthew 27:1 KJV] "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:" [Matthew 27:2 KJV] "And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor."......this is THURSDAY morning
[Matthew 27:15 KJV] "Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would." [Mark 15:6 KJV] "Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired." [John 18:39 KJV] "But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"........The timeframe is still THURSDAY.
[Matthew 27:35 KJV] "And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." [Mark 15:25 KJV] "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.".......This is THURSDAY at 9am
[Matthew 27:45 KJV] "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour."........This is noon on THURSDAY
[Matthew 27:46 KJV] "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"........This is 3pm on THURSDAY
[Matthew 27:50 KJV] "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."........THURSDAY around 3pm
[Matthew 27:57 KJV] "When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:" [Matthew 27:58 KJV] "He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered." [Matthew 27:59 KJV] "And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth," [Matthew 27:60 KJV] "And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." [Matthew 27:61 KJV] "And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre." [Mark 15:42 KJV] "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath," [Luke 23:54 KJV] "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on." [Luke 23:56 KJV] "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment." [John 19:31 KJV] "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."............It is now FRIDAY, the day of preparation for the Saturday sabbath. Preparation day for the Jews started the day before the sabbath, starting the end of Thursday at night, which was the beginning of Friday. It ended Friday night. John says in John 19:31 that the Saturday sabbath was a high day, This high day was a double Sabbath, combining the regular weekly Sabbath with the Passover festival.
[Matthew 27:62 KJV] "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,"...........The day of preparation would be FRIDAY, the next day that followed FRIDAY would be SATURDAY. [John 19:42 KJV] "There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand."..........The preparation day was FRIDAY. The next day that followed the preparation day would be SATURDAY.
[Matthew 27:66 KJV] "So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."........this is SATURDAY
[Matthew 28:1 KJV] "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."........in the end of the Saturday sabbath, as it began to be dawn toward the first day of the week would be SUNDAY. [Mark 16:1 KJV] "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." [Mark 16:2 KJV] "And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun." [Luke 24:1 KJV] "Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them." [John 20:1 KJV] "The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."........They came to an empty tomb early morning SUNDAY.
[Mark 16:9 KJV] "Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils."........Jesus rose early morning on SUNDAY.
[John 20:19 KJV] "Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you."........Jesus appeared to the disciples on SUNDAY evening.

I will examine the religious practice of Lent.
Lent lasts forty days and begins on Ash Wednesday.
What is practiced during Lent? This is what I read about Lent, I will comment next to each of Lent's tenants:
The 40-day period is not just about counting days but about spiritual preparation and transformation. During Lent, Christians are encouraged to:
Pray: Deepen their relationship with God through daily devotion and reflection........I have no disagreement with this in so far as it's Biblically based.
Fast: Abstain from certain foods or habits to practice self-discipline and imitate Christ’s sacrifice.........There is no scripture to support abstaining from food and in fact Paul says it has no benefit.........[Colossians 2:21 KJV] "(Touch not; taste not; handle not;" [Colossians 2:22 KJV] "Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?" [Colossians 2:23 KJV] "Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."........There is no scripture saying to imitate Christ's sacrifice
Give alms: Perform acts of charity and service to others..........[2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV] "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.".........There is nothing wrong with giving as long as it's not of necessity The Jews gave alms for reward........ [Matthew 6:3 KJV] "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:" [Matthew 6:4 KJV] "That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."..........we can't expect the same motive of reward.
These practices mirror Jesus’ 40-day fast in the desert, helping believers focus on spiritual renewal and preparation for Easter. [Luke 4:1 KJV] "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness," [Luke 4:2 KJV] "Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered."...........We can't mirror being led by the Spirit in the wilderness. No scripture commands this.

I posted how Christ wasn't crucified on "Good Friday" as church tradition teaches; Christ was crucified on Wednesday. Here is my post:
WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON A WEDNESDAY?
Here are excerpts from an article on Good Friday:
Good Friday falls during Holy Week, which is timed according to the spring equinox. The equinox — when day and night are perfectly balanced — was a sacred period for pagans, marking the official arrival of spring. Ancient Europeans and Middle Easterners alike held festivals at this time, celebrating the Earth’s renewal and the return of the sun’s strength.
The early Church had a cunning strategy for converting pagans: adapt rather than abolish. They overlaid Christian meanings onto existing festivals, rituals, and stories to make the transition smoother for converts. Good Friday is part of that tapestry, intertwined with older, earthier rhythms of life and death.
Upon reflection I ended up thinking of Good Friday the same way I think of Christmas. Christmas has pagan roots, but I don't participate in pagan beliefs by celebrating Christmas. During Christmas, as well as Good Friday Christ is proclaimed.
I included the excerpt of the article to show that that Good Friday may not be a Biblical holiday.
The main point to consider is it Biblical to propagate Good Friday as the day Christ was crucified,
[Genesis 1:5 KJV] "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." [Genesis 1:8 KJV] "And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.".........For Israel a day starts at evening and continues thru daylight. At the end of daylight, evening starts the next day.
[Matthew 12:40 KJV] "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.".............Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights. [Matthew 17:23 KJV] "And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."............Jesus said he would rise the third day.
Before we proceed how do we know that our Friday corresponds to the same day as the Jews. For the Jews Friday is the sixth day of the week, Saturday the seventh and Sunday the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1).
Now let's see if a Friday crucifixion adheres to Jesus being in the tomb three days and three nights.
Thursday evening thru daytime is Friday, Christ is said to be crucified during the daytime hours of Friday. Jesus is in the tomb at evening,
Friday evening thru daytime is Saturday the first evening and the first day in the tomb.
Saturday evening thru daytime is Sunday the second evening and the second day in the tomb
Sunday evening thru daytime is Monday the third evening and the third day. This means Jesus rose Monday evening. This is three days and three nights in the tomb. Monday would be the third day
Jesus could not have been crucified on Friday.

[1 Corinthians 15:23 KJV] "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."......................Some may think this verse applies to the body of Christ, but it doesn't. If it did apply to us, it would, and has, led to thinking there is only one coming. They that are Christ's are old testament saints, the believing remnant and the tribulation saints. The body of Christ isn't included, ours is a mystery resurrection.

[1 Thessalonians 3:13 KJV] "To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.".........It is wrong to think that all his saints consists of the old testament saints, the believing remnant and the body of Christ saints. Paul is speaking to the church the body of Christ. It is only the body of Christ saints in this verse...........[1 Thessalonians 4:15 KJV] "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep." [1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJV] "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" [1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV] "Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." ...........All his saints are all the body of Christ believers, dead and alive.

The NIV [Acts 2:30 NIV] "But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne." The KJV [Acts 2:30 KJV] "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;".
You were unable to answer me when I asked how would you know that Christ would sit on David's throne. Christ is removed in a lot of the newer Bibles. I however know from MY KJV Bible! Here is how your Septuagint reads.................The reading of Acts 2:30 in the Septuagint states: "A prophet then being, and knowing that God swore to him an oath to make one of his descendants succeed him on the throne." .........,,,,,You can't know from the Septuagint that Christ will be raised to sit on David's throne.
The NIV Acts 2:31 NIV] "Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay." The KJV [Acts 2:31 KJV] "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption."
The new Bibles dilute the resurrection of Christ. The KJV says David seeing this before, seeing what? seeing that Christ would be raised to sit on the throne. The NIV says seeing what was to come, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah. Take note, in the NIV, David is NOT saying that Christ would be raised to sit on David's throne, he is only saying that someday some Messiah will be resurrected. David in the NIV just speaks of the resurrection of the Messiah, not of it being Christ's resurrection.

[Matthew 12:28 KJV] "But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." ..................The way we understand this initially is Jesus is saying by casting out devils it can be seen the kingdom is come upon you; I cast out the devils, so I am the kingdom of God come upon you. He isn't saying he is the kingdom. Some say Christ's kingdom has already started, which means he is already king and is ruling not from a literal throne on earth, but a metaphorical throne. What Jesus is saying is I am the Messiah/Christ as can be seen by my casting out devils..................[Luke 7:20 KJV] "When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?" [Luke 7:21 KJV] "And in that same hour he cured many of [their] infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many [that were] blind he gave sight."...............Jesus cast out evil spirits/devils. [Luke 7:22 KJV] "Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached."..............John wanted to know if Jesus was Messiah/Christ. Jesus said to tell John of all that Christ did. Christ was casting out devils as well............[Isaiah 35:4 KJV] "Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will come and save you.".............God/Jesus will come to save Israel and when he does..............[Isaiah 35:5 KJV] "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped." [Isaiah 35:6 KJV] "Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."................Jesus was performing these signs and by them, demonstrated he was their Messiah/Christ.................[Matthew 10:7 KJV] "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand."..................The twelve were sent to preach that the kingdom of heaven/God was at hand. ...................... Associated with the gospel of the kingdom were these signs...............[Matthew 10:8 KJV] "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."................ [Luke 11:20 KJV] "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you." ..................In summary by all the signs, including casting out devils, Israel could know their Messiah had come to establish the kingdom on earth. The kingdom was upon them.
