Good Wednesday or Good Friday?

[rramlow]

(restored after accidental deletion)

Dear friends and brethren,

We have only just recently got this thread somewhat back on-topic to "Good Wednesday or Good Friday". I am genuinely interested in this topic and would like to be able to follow it. I would also love to see a healthy and honest discussion of whether and how Sabbath is to be kept, but ought we to do both here? Sabbath discussions tend to get very lively and polarized. IIRC, not that many posts ago someone was already throwing around "Satan" and "Antichrist" or somesuch due to this. I've often seen Sabbath threads at various forums get very heated and progress rapidly. I am concerned that this trend will resurface, making it hard for me to find & follow the intended topic of the thread. I might not be the only person who would have difficulty in that situation.

So that posts actually about the "Good Wednesday or Good Friday" topic don't get buried in a tsunami of unrelated material, could I persuade you to debate Sabbath in a "Sabbath" thread instead?

Only the Christian Semites refer to Friday as "(A)rubtha" (Erev in Hebrew).

Dear Paul,

I must be taking you wrong, because it sounds as if you are asserting that Jews do not use & never have used "Erev" in one of their terms for Yom Shishi. Please clear that up.

I hope you're not taking that position, because I have seen strong evidence against such an assertion (and from sources I'd hold as highly credible on the topic of what terms Jews have and have not used).
