Well I thought that he died friday because its called Good Friday. But In matthew it said that The Lord will be swalllowed up in the belly of the earth, {Which means hell}. For three days and three nights. Well if he died on Friday it would not have been three nights. If he died on Thursday it would have been three nights and three days.

The Gospels are inconsistent on this question. The Synoptic Gospels - Matthew, Mark, and Luke - have the Last Supper (assumed to be a Thursday passover meal) and then suggest Jews were out and about and Saducees were in full deviously plotting force on the Shabbat. Yeah right.
John has the meal moved back and the crucixion stepped up to the evening before the Passover meal. Which means jesus would have been crucified when the Passover lambs were being slaughtered and his tomb would have been temporary until everyone could return to bury him properly after the Passover. I think John's story makes the most sense. Whether any of these are factually correct is hard to say.
What is more interesting is the consistency among the Gospels in saying that after Jesus rose he did not look like himself and was somewhat transluscent, not solid. In the Jewish world this would not be a good thing. First of all, it signals a curse arising from Sheol and second of all it means Jesus wasn't the Moshiach (Messiah) they had been waiting for who would lead Israel to earthly domination. (In Acts 1 even the apostles think Jesus has returned to become a great warrior King for Israel.)
Scholars use a few tools to judge the veracity of various historical accounts. Multiple sources with some consistencies and information which is inconvenient to report are often taken to indicate a valid source when we apply textual criticism to any other materials. Jesus' crucifixion is a fact testified to by secular sources and the consistencies and inconveniences in the resurrection accounts lend themselves to the idea that something pretty amazing did, in fact, happen. Whether it was a miracle or something super-natural is an article of faith. For many Christians that question is completely irrelevant - I am one of that kind.

Jesus said the only sign given would be that He would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. Or, 3 full, 24 hour days. He would 'rest' on Sabbath' and on the first 'day' which would be Saturday evening in our calendar, He would resurrect so He would be gone very early on Sunday morning. We thus count back, Saturday evening-Friday evening- Thursday Evening-Wednesday evening, thus He would have been crucified on Wednesday. People who research this say there were 2 high days at that time. Once in a while this happened. It's the same as saying that Messiah would be cut off mid-week, and so He was.

On Nisan 14, according to the Jewish calendar. The problem with the timing you mention is very true. The answer is that the "holiday" as it is celebrated now is observed on a specific day of the week, rathern than an actual date. It's like a birthday or an anniversary. You'd have a problem being exactly one year older if you always counted your birthday on the first Saturday of every June, instead of June 3rd for instance, just because when you were born it happened to be the first Saturday in June.

It mentioned that Jesus died the day before the Sabbath, and the Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday, so he died on Friday. He died as a sacrifice yes, but He rose again to show that He conquered death, that He has the power to save us from our sins and that He is Almighty.

He needed to be killed before the beginning of the Sabbath that started at sundown on a Friday...no work could be done on the Sabbath so he could not have been taken down and buried so it all had to be done before sundown on Friday
It says he would rise on the third day.

Friday if you go by the Jewish calendar. Any part of a day counts as a day. It was still Thursday if you go by our calendar. The Jewish day starts at 6:00 p.m.

He died April 1, 33CE, a Friday according to our calendar system brought back to that time, 3PM.
That in the Jewish system was Nisan 14, and he rose on Nisan 16.

It only said he would be dead 3 days. Never any mention of nights.
But, in Jewish custom:
Day 1: Friday
Day 2: Saturday
Day 3: Sunday
Any portion of a day, even one second, counted as a full day.

By Jewish law, a person dead for three days was considered permanently dead. Apparently, people went into comas then also and had to be ruled as being considered dead.
Jesus was considered dead by Jewish law. On the third day He rose again to fulfill God's promise to the believer that one day he/she would rise from the dead also.

Those times are different from our time now. that was over 2000 years ago. Plus there is no record of the day or time of His death, even in their own time.
