Christ rose from the dead on Sabbath, not Sunday
 

Any Takers?

Scripture is plain on this fact.

Is the Sabbath considered the first day of the week, or the last?

Re: Christ rose from the dead on Sabbath, not Sund
 

Is there any relevance to the question?

The Seventh Day (Last).

Just like today; Sunday is the First day of the week.

You bet your sweet bippy!

What relevance is his rising on Sunday?
Sunday resurrection is Pagan Catholic and Catholic proof for the day of worship to be moved from Sabbath to Sunday.

The Bible says that He rose on the first day of the week. That would make it Sunday.

He was dead for three days and three nights. He died on Thursday night, did He not? That's what I've always heard.

Who the flip cares? Jesus is alive. It's not a heaven or hell issue.

Actually, If you will re-read the verse, you will see that when they came to the tomb (as it began to dawn on the 1st day of the week) he was ALREADY risen.

The days started at sun DOWN.

He was crucified on a Wednesday. There were two Sabbaths that week.
The one that fell on that Thursday (The High Sabbath) and the weekly Sabbath.

I know there were two Sabbaths that year, but was told it was Thursday Sabbath. If He was crucified on Wednesday, why did Joseph get him off the cross because the Sabbath was about to begin at 6pm? It didn't start until 6pm on Thursday.

He could have risen ten minutes before they arrived. Who knows?

According to Matthew 28, the angel rolled the stone away as the women were on their way, or so it seems. Now, whether or not that's when He arose is anyone's guess, as it doesn't say.

Strangely enough, in Mark 14, it appears that Jesus partook of the passover of unleavened bread. Read through verse 16. Weird. Never noticed that before.

Anyway, this is interesting. Let me know what else you find out.

Please explain this passage:

Luke 24:21 KJV But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

Luke 24:21 KJV But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

Sunday is in place and the men tell Jesus SUNDAY was THE THIRD DAY SINCE Christ was crucified.
