This is excellent Devin, you’ve made some valid points, except you missed a few things.
Matt 28 v1
-
(1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre)
-
The end of the Sabbath is approaching and the first day of the week is beginning
-
(5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.)
-
The Lord had ALREADY risen; He was out of the grave before the first day of the week Devin.
-
Let's go to Mark 16
-
(Mark 16
1And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.)
-
The point is that just because I find you dead on Sunday does not mean you died on Sunday. So just because Mary came to check on the Lord on SUNday does not mean He rose on SUNday. He was already gone.
-
Further He did not die on a Friday because
-
31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
-
So yes, He was killed the day before a Sabbath day, but it was a high Sabbath day. Do you know the difference?
-
Let’s go to Leviticus 23
-
Leviticus 23
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
-
The Lord was killed on Passover, the 14th day and the following day is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a High Sabbath Day. If you read the rest of Leviticus you’ll find that there are 7 High Sabbaths that can fall on any day of the week annually. This particular High Sabbath fell on a Thursday, Jesus was killed on Wednesday, He did the 3 days and 3 nights in the grave rising just before or as the sun went down on Saturday; the women came to check on Him Sunday and found HE WAS GONE! Praise the Lord

You’d have to dig into the Old Testament to find out about this, many miss it Devin, so don’t feel alone, God has blessed you to see this today. And you’re right, the same organization that gave me SUNday gave me the Bible, they gave me the “trinity” they told me the dead are in heaven, the same people said the earth was flat, and they give prescription drugs today that don’t heal. Do I take everything they say… heck no.
-
God blessed us that they left the bible in tact, sure they through out many books; but we have enough books left to learn how to get salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. I hope this edified you, grace and peace in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
