There is some really good stuff in your post, but let me give you another perspective on one point.

The "mind set on the flesh" is a very interpretive translation, & I am convinced a wrong interpretation The text says "the mind of the flesh," which I take to mean that the Old Man flesh has a mind which is in conflict with the mind of the new man & with the Holy Spirit. The Mind of the flesh is expounded in Gal 5:16-17 as many of the Works of the flesh are not physical, but mental states/exercises. If you don't know Greek, go to Biblehub or somewhere & look at the text in an interlinear.

I think Jesus was resurrected around the 17th Nisan -

Do you think the Early Church turned it into a commemorative day?

The mind of the flesh is the mind of natural unconverted men dead in its trespasses and sin, without hope and without God . The mind of Christ is in respect to the what is revealed written in the scriptures It gives us a living hope that goes beyond human hope.They are against each other so that we do not do our own will but the will of Christ as He works in us to both will and do His good pleasure, performing that which he appoints to us.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

He was caught up in a Spirit of Revelation ----- vision---- or physically taking Into the heavenly realm----- !ike Paul said: in the body or not I know not ( he was taken to the 3rd heaven)----- this happened to John on the Lord Day (Tribulation period !eading to the Millineum at Christ's return)...
