The Entombment of Christ

In their efforts to disparage the Catholic and
Protestant concept of Good Friday and Easter
Sunday, many of the Churches of God have ad-
hered to Bullinger's theory of Christ being in the
grave for three days and three nights. According
to this view, the crucifixion occurred on a
Wednesday and the resurrection late on Satur-
day afternoon.

In order to validate this idea, Bullinger inserted
a weekly Sabbath between Nisan 14 and the
resurrection -- thus two sabbaths (the high Holy
Day of Nisan 15 and the Saturday sabbath) sup-
posedly occurred during this time.

So where does this leave us -- back to the
John D. Keyser Catholic and Protestant dogma of Good Friday

and Easter Sunday? No, not at all.

When we understand that God's true weekly
David Hinkley Sabbath day can fall on any day of the week in
Darren W. Clarke the pagan Gregorian calendar of today, the
Deborah Taylor problem can easily be resolved. During the
week of Christ's death in A.D.30, the weekly
Technical Advisor Sabbath fell on a Thursday, and since scripture
and history show that Christ was put to death on
David Hinkley a Wednesday, everything falls nicely into place.
