You might want to check on your dates there.
Mat 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
This said they asked where would they prepare to eat the passover. Christ was still alive and yet it is the first day of unleavened bread.
Eze 45:21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
This said that the seven days of eating unleavened bread starts on the fourteenth. Does this contradicts John?
John 19:42
42 So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby. NKJV
It gives no date. It was the preparation day.
Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Even the first day of the feast they are to put away leaven out of their houses. Is this not preparing (Preparation) for the feast to take place that evening?
Exo 12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
Therefore Christ was still alive on the 14th, seeing that it was the first day (14th) of unleavened bread.
Mat 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
He says I will keep the
passover. This was the fourteenth. Your scriptures have no dates. These say
Mar 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
It was the first day of unleavened bread, in which the passover lamb is killed, the 14th and at even 15th is the feast of unleavened bread. They run simultaneously (Ezek 45 above). Ezek say the passover, a feast of seven days, ye shall eat unleavened bread.
Ex 12:15 says the first day of unleavened you shall take leaven out of your house. The first day of unleavened bread is the Preparation day as stated in John. The 14th day of the month according to Ex, Ez, and Duet which I have not posted.
Therefore, wednesday even the 15th is the first night and sunrise of the 15th the first day. Thursday evening is the second night and Friday morning is the second day. Friday evening is the third night. And He rose from the grave on the third day, the Sabbath.
Matthew 28:1
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
As the sun was setting on the Sabbath (dawn of the first day of the week)
Dawn - 1) the first appearance of daylight in the morning:
and it also means
2) the beginning or rise of anything; advent:
Therefore, the beginning of the first day can be stated as the dawn of the day or the first day began to dawn and not mean sunrise.
How do we know it is the second definition rather than the first. Because if we use the first definition then that means He was in the grave for four nights, even according to your time-line. And if you try to argue that the first night doesn't count, that would mean He rose the fourth day and not the third. Therefore, the second definition for dawn is the only acceptable one.
So you worship Christ on gentile Sunday, which has nothing to do with the resurrection. They came upon the gave on the dawn of Hebrew Sunday which is Saturday evening/twilight. See how confused catholic doctrine comes out?
Let's look at what the Restoration Scriptures has to say. The restoration scriptures are translated from the ancient Aramaic texts. All of the hundreds of versions of the Aramaic text are identical word for word. While all of the Greek translations differ one from another.
Mattityahu/Matthew 28:1 - In the evening of the Shabbat, as it began to dawn, towards the first day of the week, came Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam to see the tomb
You say Christ was crucified on the 13th, which would be Tuesday night. So you think Christ was buried on Tuesday night and rose from the grave Sunday morning? Do the math Aineo. Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. How many days do you want Him to be dead for you to make sense?
You said:
Christians are Abraham’s seed not Israel’s seed.
Let's see if scripture agrees excludes them from Israel or speak of them as a separate entity.
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Paul says when gentiles were without Christ, they were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants, without hope.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
He says through Christ, gentiles are no longer srtangers, but fellow citizens of Israel and the covenants of promise. Yet you claim to be outside of Israel, which would mean you are still without hope, being as though you are still an alien from the commonwealth and want nothing to do with the covenants, in which the Sabbath is one of them.
What does Christ say:
Joh 5:46-47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
How shall ye believe His words, if you don't believe Moses'
Dan 9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
What is Yah's truth that they sought to understand?
Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Thy law is truth. What does Christ say?
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Christ was obedient til death.
1Jo 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Do you walk even as he walked? He kept the feasts. He kept the Sabbath. He obeyed the Law (Torah) of Yah til death. Now, He did not sacrifice animals and did not submit to the priesthood and the traditions of their fathers. But He was obedient to Yahweh's Law til death. Do you walk "even as He walked?"
A quick example here.
Matthew 15:1-8 - Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Now let's modernize the text to reflect the traditions of men today.
Matthew 15:1-8 - Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, For God commanded, saying, Remember the Seventh day, to keep it holy. But ye say, the Lord rose on Sunday, so we are free of the Sabbath. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
After showing how their traditions contradicted God's Law, He called them hypocrites for praising Him with their mouths, but not doing what was commanded.
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Scripture says those who keep His commandments are those who love Him. Also, it say the saints are those who
keep the commandments of Yahweh and the faith of Jesus. As James said, faith without works is dead.
Again I asked, do you walk even as He walked?
2Co 3:13-14 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
Do you supposed the vail of understanding is taken away in Christ for the Law to be ignored?
Rom 2:13 (
For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For
when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
What does the scripture say? The doers of the law shall be justified. Not that we are justified by our works, but by faith, which is by God's grace.
Next, when the gentiles do by nature the things contained in the law, they show the law is written in their hearts. They do more than lip service. They obey it by faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Based on your posts and your interpretation of Scripture I discern you accept and promote what is termed “replacement theology”, which means you believe the church has replaced the Israelites as God’s chosen or holy people. This belief contradicts the Bible.
Your discernment is faulty and false. Try asking rather than assuming.
I am a descendant of Israel. But to show you how they are one and the same:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
All Israel, those who are children through election by faith and those who are children through bloodline by faith.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Not of this fold (Israel). Remember, He was sent only to the lost of Israel. Yet when He rose from the grave, the disciples was sent to His fold and other sheep (gentiles) that were not of this fold (Israel). And from these there shall be one fold (Israel) and one Shepherd. That is why the gentiles were once strangers to the commonwealth and covenants, but now they are fellow citizens of Israel.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus
Exo 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
There is not some scriptures for Hebrews and another for gentiles.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Is the OT not a part of all scripture? In fact, the OT was the only scriptures when Paul made this statement. So people are without excuse for ignoring the Torah and Prophets.
The Law is our schoolmaster and Christ is the end of the Law for those who believe. Christ did not put a end to the Law, but He is the end of it. One cannot get educated without the teacher. So how can we assume to arrive at the end of the Law without being taught by the school master. Can a child go to college without ever receiving grade-school and secondary education from the schoolmaster or teacher?
Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
