Was the Last Supper a Passover Seder?

Hard to tell.

Most of the gospels in the Greek Text (GT) indicate that it was -- but one says that it wasn't. Besides that conflict of information we have the issue of Jsus sinning if it was Passover.

His sin? Eating bread on Passover. Strictly forbidden:

"Exodus 12:17 . . .You must carefully keep this day for all generations; it is a law for all times. :18 From the 14th day of the first month in the evening, until the night of the 21st day of the month, you must eat [only] matzahs (unleavened bread)."

Yet the Xian bible tells us that Jsus ate bread. If this was Passover he sinned. This is a law for ALL TIMES per G-d. In other words Jsus can't come along and change it.

The GT gives contradictory information about Jsus' supposed "last" supper. Some gospels say it was a Passover meal (Seder) but then have him eating bread, not matzo (sinning by doing so). Another gives a different date.

This is important to distinguish because it shows a woeful ignorance of Judaism on the part of whoever wrote the GT. And if Jsus did indeed eat bread on Passover he broke yet another of G-d's mitzvot (not the first time either per the GT).

Jewish days are from sunset to sunset. So Nisan 15 begins at sundown -- you killed the lamb during the day (in the afternoon of Nisan 14) and you ate it that night -- which was now Nisan 15.

BTW, there is NO such term in Judaism as “preparation day”. It is yet another nail in the coffin that shows whoever wrote the GT was either a non-Jew or an illiterate one. And to make things even more obvious Matthew calls the holy day (whether it is Sabbath or Passover) “the day after preparation day.”

Matthew 27:62 [ The Guard at the Tomb ] The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate.

Would you call Xmas “the day after preparation day”? Or would you call it Xmas?

How about Easter? Would you call any holy day “the day after preparation day” -- or Easter?

So why would a Jew call Passover "the day after Preparation Day"? Because it wasn't a Jew who wrote it. It was not written by anyone who knew a thing about Judaism.

If, as Xians contend, “preparation day” was the day before Passover why wouldn’t Matthew say “the next day, Passover?” If it was the day after preparing for Shabbat Matthew would say “the next day, Shabbat.”

No Jew would say “the day AFTER preparation day.” The day after ANY day of preparation would be a given yom tov (holy day).

And what exactly was the day – preparation for Passover or Sabbath? As usual pick a gospel and get a different answer!

Mark 15:42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).

Luke 23:54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

John 19:14 It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour.

John 19:31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath.

So what was it? Preparation for Sabbath? Preparation for Passover week? Preparation for a special Sabbath? ????

Exodus 12:6. And you shall keep it for inspection until the fourteenth day of this month, and the entire congregation of the community of Israel shall slaughter it in the afternoon. 7. And they shall take [some] of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they will eat it. 8. And on this night, they shall eat the flesh, roasted over the fire, and unleavened cakes; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

and

LEVITICUS 23:6 "And on the fifteenth day of the same month Nisan is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the L-RD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it." (NKJV) On Nisan 14 you slaughter the lamb and on Nisan 15 you eat it.

Nisan 15 is the beginning of the Passover festival -- it is the night of the day that had been Nisan 14. On Nisan 15 we have a Seder -- the meal described above in Exodus 12.

Now per the GT (3 out of 4 gospels) J-sus ATE a Passover Seder. So if J-sus ate his Passover meal it was AFTER the slaughter of the paschal lambs (done on Nisan 14).

Sinning.
