DO YOU KNOW THAT THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST'S DEATH IS IN THURSDAY, NISAN 14TH 5778 (Hebrew Calendar): MARCH 29, 2018 AFTER THE SUNSET?

Question

http://yomelyah.com/

The setting of the date of the Memorial on the evening of March 31, 2018 is inaccurate, since this date corresponds to 16 Nisan (and not 14 Nisan)
The biblical rule of fixing the date is the same as setting the date of the biblical Passover, namely, the fourteenth day after the new moon, corresponding to the first day of the month: "In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, in the evening, you are to eat unleavened bread until the 21st day of the month, in the evening"(Exodus 12:18). This celebration precedes the full moon that takes place on the fifteenth day of the month. However, the number of days that go from the new moon to the full moon, is not always constant (it can vary by one day). This is probably why Jehovah mentioned the biblical rule of the fourteenth day of Nisan (following the new moon) (rather than the first full moon of the spring equinox, of which there is no trace in the Bible in as a landmark for Passover and then the Memorial).

ANSWER TO TeeM: There is no Biblical evidence in your answer, no Scripture. You use the Talmud of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Watchtower as "proof", or indeed the Watchtower is not the Bible.

Also in your answer from your "Talmud", the Watch Tower it is written: "However, usually it is eighteen hours or more later when the first sliver of the crescent of the new moon becomes visible in Jerusalem.". Is so, there is a maximum of 24 heures or one day of difference between the astronomic new moon and this diffenrence of one day. The problem of this year is that there is two days of difference. The astronomic new moon is in March 17th around 2 p.m.and from the point of view of the Bible, IT IS THIS DAY THE FIRST DAY (Romans 3:4). In the case of March 18th (according the human point of view of the Watch Tower), there would be one day, the memorial would be in March 30th after the sunset, but this year il is in March 31st: TWO DAYS OF DIFFERENCE WITH NO BIBLICAL EVIDENCE... THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM...

THE BIBLE AND ONLY THE BIBLE: "Certainly not! But let God be found true, even if every man be found a liar" (Romans 3:4).

ANSWER TO JIM V: Effectively for the Jew Religion, Passover will be after the sunset of Nisan 14 (Friday), that is Nisan 15, but not Thursday, as you wrote, but Friday after the sunset, That is Nisan 15 (after the sunset) because March 30 is... Friday. So in the the day of Saturday, March 31, we will be also in Nisan 15... But after the sunset of Saturday March 31, we will be in Nisan 16 until the sunset of Sunday April 1st...! In fact, IN THE BIBLE, Jesus Christ celebrated Passover and after the celebration that would be the Memorial of his death, in the beginning of the day Nisan 14, in this year, the Memorial is in Thursday March 29, after the sunset and the day of friday will be nisan 14 until the end of the sunset. According Mark 14 and 15, Jesus Christ has been judged in the night of Thursday/Friday. At 9 a.m, in friday (also in Nisan 14) the "third hour", Jesus Christ was in the Golgota. And he died at 3 p.m in the 9th hour (also in Friday Nisan 14). Jesus Christ has been resurrected in very soon in sunday, in Nisan 16...

*** w76 2/1 p. 73 “Keep Doing This in Remembrance of Me” ***
The modern Jewish calendar determines the beginning of their month of Nisan by the astronomical new moon. However, usually it is eighteen hours or more later when the first sliver of the crescent of the new moon becomes visible in Jerusalem. Each year, in recent times, the governing body of Jehovah’s witnesses has determined the actual new moon that becomes visible in Jerusalem, which is the way the first of Nisan was determined in Biblical times. For this reason often there has been a difference of a day or two between the Memorial date of Jehovah’s witnesses and the Nisan 14 date according to the modern Jewish calendar.

*** rs p. 269 par. 2 Memorial (Lord’s Evening Meal) ***
Jehovah’s Witnesses observe the Memorial after sundown on Nisan 14, according to the reckoning of the Jewish calendar that was common in the first century. The Jewish day begins at sundown and extends until the following sundown. So Jesus died on the same Jewish calendar day that he instituted the Memorial. The beginning of the month of Nisan was the sunset after the new moon nearest the spring equinox became visible in Jerusalem. The Memorial date is 14 days thereafter. (Thus the date for the Memorial may not coincide with that of the Passover kept by modern-day Jews. Why not? The start of their calendar months is set to coincide with the astronomical new moon, not the visible new moon over Jerusalem, which may come 18 to 30 hours later. Also, most Jews today keep the Passover on Nisan 15, not on the 14th as did Jesus in harmony with what was stated in the Mosaic Law.)

Jim V · Answer

I do know that Passover begins at sunset on Thursday March 29th.
Which does mean that Christ died on Thursday, not Friday (as in 'Good Friday').

We have not been ones to celebrate on the day of Christ's death, but we do celebrate the Resurrection on the following Sunday.

What you are trying to explain never happened. No evidence, no records, no history. It is all made up comic parodies.  All invented by the Romans and the NT written by the Romans.
See the book "Piso Christ", Amazon has it.
