When the you have the wisdom from the Father to teach this, your appraisal of His Word, by all means teach it as the Gospel truth, until then, do not confuse any who may be weak in understanding with your conjecture. This is not of the Word. The Word is Yeshua.

Considering the events that occurred on the first day, Sunday obviously has a very special significance.

Whoever thinks that detracts from the sabbath, that's your problem. Take it up with GOD.

It was prophesied He would be in the earth three days and nights. He was crucified on a Friday according to real scholars, as for counting from there, I need no scholarly advice, I believe He fulfilled all prophesy, so there is no need for me to be convinced what day it was He rose, but many will say from Friday, before sunset, it is counted Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to fulfill all righteousnous.

The part above should have been in green to my reply 279, for clarity...thanks.

Yes, Ten Commandments, on our hearts now. No one ever made them nine commandments. To say this is contrary to the Word of Yahweh.
And just as we freely received the righteousness required by the 9 commandments, so also we have freely received the righteousness required by the 10 commandments. All that is required of us is to abide in that righteousness through faith (not through works of law). Along with loving one's neighbor as one's self, that is the law of the new covenant. The letter of the law doesn't matter any more. It is the obedience of love and faith that GOD requires, i.e., the spirit of the law.

When you understand all of the post, or even the part to which you believe you have replied, get back to me.

One should never reply to anything he has not heard yet............paraphrased from the proverbs... Actually it says a fool answers before hearing all.

I'm going to enhance your question a bit...

Do you know what day of the week it was when God started the Creation of heaven and earth, AND the new creation?

If you work Monday through Saturday then Sunday is your sabbath. If you work Sunday through Friday then Saturday is your Sabbath.

Philippians 3
Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

1Finally, my brothers,a rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

2Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of Godb and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,c blameless. 7But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

I've actually heard said that He might have been crucified on Wednesday of Thursday, that that year (don't know how they figured this) Passover was actually on a Wednesday or Thursday? Which it seems fitting Christ would be crucified on Passover day. He would then have been in the grave three full days and three full nights one way or another. We can't be sure if it was Saturday at sundown or Sunday morning when He arose, obviously. Seems fitting He would have arose after sabbath was over. But I honestly don't know. I just thought it was an interesting assertion.

Exodus 12:15
For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.

2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

John 12:24
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

Luke 24:1
1Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus

Matthew 28:6
5And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see him: see, I have told you

Romans 8:3
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

From this alone it seems you are losing it again.

However if you really need a reply...........all the above. Zone, I am not so important as to spend so much time. Your thinking and theology is so very important.

I will stay with what Jesus teaches...........I call Him Yeshua also.

Your really working up my humor bank. Hmm wonder what that means.
Obviously you get personal rather than take issue with content, cant you even
see your doing what you condemn?

Leviticus 23
The Feast of Firstfruits

9And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, 11and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD.

John 1:36
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

1 Corinthians 15
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive

Acts 26:23
that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles."

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

I believe after the one with whom I am conversing, not you, has post to me, "get over yourself," not being a hypocrite, I am entitled to respond at the same level I am addressed. As for doing what I condemn, I condemn nothing, not even ridicule, I advise and teach against it. Why do you not pay attention. Read the material before you commenting. I have been motivated to quote a proverb on this in the past, but you know the word, and you know what type of person answers a question before it is answered.

You and your friends here do get together for mischief it seems to me. This is how I see it, it is an opinion. Now, get smart and contrive an opinion. This has been the tonic from your type in the threads for some time. It makes for entertainemnt for the very base, but it is not sharing the love that is Yeshua.

I have told you what I believe. Do not come back with some really cheap remark about love. Had I told you a lie, that would not be love. Yes, another you may use. Tell me you love me while insulting me...........

I am totally injured now. You guys are so mature it gives me the shivers. Do you suppose you could get on the subject of the OP again? Or perhaps on the subject of the forum that is Bible discussion which includes what good conduct could be for all who believe Yeshua. Not a bad idea, right?

Sounds like you need to work on your conduct. WHEN CHARACTER IS LOST- ALL IS LOST.
