Other questions and answers have established that Jesus may have actually died on a Wednesday rather than a Friday.

Have any Christians other than the United Church of God reached the Wednesday conclusion, so to speak?

    Time is treated differently in the acient world. 3 days does not mean 72 hours or in some cases a day means a period of time. I personally have no problem if Christ died and was burried 2.25 days and the Gospel writers exagerated the event a little. The few hours missing from thier report does not take away from the event. – Marc Apr 03 '15 at 12:21
  • It seems to me that to deny that He was in the grave for 3 full days and nights when He said He would be is to deny the only sign that He said He was giving. – Rob K Sep 08 '17 at 19:11

The Bible does not say on which day of the week Jesus was crucified. There are therefore three views of crucifixion day held currently: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with Friday being the most commonly held view. Some Christians believe Wednesday was the day of Jesus crucifixion , and a few held the Thursday view.

That said, beside United Church of GodIA, the Restored Church of God also denies the 'Good Friday-Easter Sunday' chronology along with other Christian scholars of note (and presumably their followers) among whom are: Grady Daniel, and a Baptist deacon; late Charles Halff, a Messianic; and Roy A. Reinhold. This site gives an elaborate and informitive support of Wednesday conclution.
