Here is the scriptural proof that the resurrection occurred on a Sabbath.

That is certainly a creative mistranslation of the Greek.

Strong's notes the word "epiphosko" as meaning "to grow light, to dawn", and the word derives from Greek words meaning to shine upon, to appear or become visible, etc. We derive our word "Epiphany" from the same root. Nothing to do with dusk at all!

How do you explain 3 days in the tomb if He is crucified and buried on Friday and rises from the dead on Saturday?

Matthew 28:1

Matthew 28:1

Matthew 28:1

Matthew 28:1 You'll notice that most of these translations say something like "In the end of the Sabbath", or "Late on the Sabbath" and if you scroll down on the right the word "Epiphosko" also means to dawn, or draw on such as you see in Luke 23:54 as the Sabbath was about to begin.

The dawning of something can also mean the beginning of something and that is what Matthew 28:1 is talking about....the beginning of the first day of the week.....and my friend, the beginning of God's Days start at sunset!

Thought you would never ask. The crucifixion took place on this Wednesday or on this Wednesday.

It did not take place on this Wednesday as the Mainstream church would have you believe. It does not square with Matthew 12:40. we also know that the Hebrew idiom that counts part of any day as a full day does not qualify here because both days and nights are mentioned.

Our Saviour was crucified on the Passover, the 14th of Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew calendar. [Leviticus 23:5]
