I want to be the first one to wish you a happy Lord's Day today..remembe, Jesus was risen on the first day of the week and our observance of this day is a celebration of it, as well as our observance of Resurrection Sunday.

He is not still resting in the grave. We have a risen Lord!

Matt 28:1-7 1Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he[SUP]a[/SUP] lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”

Mark 16:1-8 1When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. 5And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. 6And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” 8And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Luke 24:1-8 1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise

Now, watch the Sabbathkeeper sourpusses come along to convince us otherwise :)

You quote scriptures that tell us Jesus 'was seen after He was risen....that's how they knew He was risen...yet nobody saw WHEN EXACTLY He was resurrected. What did Jesus say to Thomas ?'because you have seen me you have believed'....Is something we 'see' of faith ?
So you have built your 'resurrection sunday on what ? on what people have seen, not on the 'Word of GOD which says differently !!! Are you going to call HIM a sourpuss ?

sparkman,

You as a former Church of God advocate know full well what the comment will be with regard to those 3 passages. As beta touched on, they don't actually say when the resurrection occurred. They only say that the Messiah was gone when the women got to the tomb.

Exactly ! to be told He was risen is a pretty visible fact when He was no longer there....it does not take 'faith to believe it and build a whole religion on it....and their faith is non-existent in this instant. Christians need to wake up to the fact that they have been deceived by an imposter Christ instigated by 'ungodly men, Mat 24v3-5.

Exactly. People need to focus on Jesus Christ. Arguing about days of the week is beyond pathetic. The glory is Christ's alone.

God: What did you do with your time?

People: I argued about days of the week.

or . . .

People: I rejoiced in your saving grace in Jesus Christ.

I hear ya and agree.....many completely miss that each day is a particular day MADE by the Lord....and every day the painting (day) changes and yet continually brings glory to God as creation testifies.......love it......

Jesus said, "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Do you think it was more, or less?

I think the Messaih meant that at least a part of each one of three daytimes and at least a part of each one of three night times would be involved with His time in the "heart of earth".

Are you implying that it is impossible to do both?

Leviticus 23: [SUP]9 [/SUP]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [SUP]10 [/SUP]“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, [SUP]11 [/SUP]and 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. [SUP]12 [/SUP]And 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. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And the grain offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah[SUP][b][/SUP] of fine flour mixed with oil, a food offering to the Lord with a pleasing aroma, and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.[SUP][c][/SUP] [SUP]14 [/SUP]And you shall eat neither bread nor grain parched or fresh until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It's well-known that the wave sheaf offering symbolized Christ's resurrection, and this occurred on the day after the Sabbath.

Of course, those who want to accuse the church of being neo-pagans will claim otherwise. :)

Ok..so another Judaizer who is claiming the church is pagan? Figures.

Weak. I would couple that with the wave sheaf offering Scriptures in Leviticus 23.

By the way, most Hebrew Roots and Messianic Jews people wouldn't argue with me on this due to the timing of the wave sheaf offering, which was done on the day after the Sabbath, which is Sunday, and symbolized Jesus' resurrection.

Armstrongites believe that recognized Christianity is really a "false gospel" and that its adherents are "so-called Christians" preaching a "counterfeit Jesus". That person may not be an Armstrongite, but they apparently have the same mentality.

I was an Armstrongite for a decade. My posts often draw these sorts out :)

Regarding "false christs" there were many false Messiahs throughout history.

Also, if you are an Armstrongite, do you realize he likely molested his own daughter? So, his slanders of Christianity are contaminated by the fact that he was not "above reproach".

Newspaper articles at the time of his divorce proceedings recorded that this evidence was going to be admitted in the proceedings, therefore it had credibility.

I put zero credibility in the teachings of an incestuous man.

sparkman,
re: "Weak."

I'ts not weak. Those passages simply cannot be used to prove a first day of the week resurrection because nothing in them says when the resurrection actually took place.
 


re: "I would couple that with the wave sheaf offering Scriptures in Leviticus 23."

Likewise, leviticus 23 can't be used to prove a first day resurrection. The only thing said with regard to a first day requirement is when the previously cut sheaf was to be presented to the Lord. The Messiah didn't present Himself to the Father until sometime after He resurrected.
