Actually I don't care what someone believes about days. I fall into the category of not respecting days.
The only thing that matters is that you (plural, general) are trusting Jesus + nothing - nothing for your salvation.
No Church, creed, mass, baptism, confession, Lord's supper, work or obligation; observed or omitted will get you to Heaven. It is Christ and His shed blood alone that makes a place for you.
They, by and large, have dispensed with you?
You know that Christ rose on Sunday. God says that He was in the grave for three days and three nights. The Jews count sun down as the beginning of the day. Passover is the fourteenth day of the first month. The Jews go by Lunar months of 28 days. Unlike their cousins the Ismaelites they add a month occasionally to make their year sync with the solar year. These are facts that can not be denied.
According to the available facts Passover was on Thursday the year that Christ died. Either that or God made a mistake.
If personal salvation was all it meant to be Christian, that might be all that mattered.
But, we know that's only a beginning, right?
On the evening of the day of preparation. That would be the thirteenth day of the first month. Which necessarily meand that it would shift from year to year.
Can you not see that? what day was Christmas on in 1932, without looking at a calendar.
Respectfully are you being intentionally obtuse?
...I don't know of a single verse that speaks of personal salvation...
Luke 23:43 comes to mind.
I am asking you to name the day of the week, do you not know? It's fine to not know. Just say so.
I don't know of a single verse that speaks of personal salvation for example and you gave me a whole book to read. I doubt every single verse in Romans does but I will go through it again.
You know the OT tells us when the Lambs are to be slaughtered. We both agree that the day of the week can change.
You believe Christ died on a different day then most say, so I am asking you to say what day you believe the Lambs were slaughtered the week Christ died in celebration of the Jewish Passover. If the Bible provides enough info to answer than answer If it doesn't then say so.
I am not making any judgment nor do I have a hidden agenda. You are the first person I have encountered that had put forward Wed or Thurs as the day of Crucifixion so I want to see how you piece it all together.
John 10:24-30Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
I and my Father are one.
John 14:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I told you and you either did not reas it or are ignoring it.
Since Jesus rose on Sunday after being in the grave for three days and three nights, Passover had to be on Thursday and the lamb would have been killed on thr evening of the preparation, Wednesday.
If you want an extra-Biblical answer then read a Creed, that someone wrote after a cursory reading of the accounts of "the" Gospel and mistakenly assumed that the word Sabbath referred to Saturday because they did not comprehend the context.
As for personal Salvation. Jesus said it best. Only those who believe on Him have everlasting life.
Luke 23:43 comes to mind.
Prior to the reformation, and still to this day, Orthodox and I would believe Catholics also, insist there is a horizontal to salvation that extends to all those around you and the whole of creation itself. And that this horizontal connection is just as important in a "normal" Christian life.
This one.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
