Of course Christians are not bound by the sabbath law, but before we accepted the new Covenant, we enjoyed a weekly sabbath that began at dusk on Friday and ended at dusk on Saturday. God decreed it, and man had no authority to change the time to whatever they felt was convenient.
That would be an issue for a different topic. Maybe you might start one.

That's an issue for a different topic. How about starting one?
I was replying to somebody's post you should worry about yourself. A thread comes up and people make all sorts of ridiculous claims, I call them out occasionally, go figure.

Except that often it results in a tangential continuing of the off topic issue. I'm afraid I've been guilty at times of doing that myself.
And again, that someone new needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period and who knows of examples to support the idea of commonality.
I agree one cant get 72 hrs form Fri to Sun. Feast of Unleavened Bread is a Sabbath, so that is what Mark is more than likely referring to than Friday.
Consider that Jesus died on Preparation Day, which was the day before the Sabbath (See John 19:14ff). He arose the first day of the week. So we have the fifth, sixth and seventh days in all of the gospel accounts of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Whether each was a twenty-four hour day is inconsequential.
