Speaking of ressurection! Twagler, you pulled this thread out from way down deep and it surprised me. But first of all to answer your question, your own bio says that you are an SDA. You might want to change your own info if you are not.

No, it doesn’t say that all.

Why don’t you just be completely honest and say just what church you belong to then. You quote from SDA literature like E.G.White’s writings and you seem to espouse the same doctrines…then what are you Travis?

NOW it doesn’t. It only said SDA when I checked yesterday.

Nope. It never said SDA until yesterday. Before that, it simply said “seventh day.” I added the “, not SDA” to help others understand that I do not agree with everything taught by SDAs.

What is “seventh day” denomination? I had noticed that in your profile, and wondered (yep folks, twagler definitely had just plain ol’ seventh day there before cause I remember puzzling about it).

Seventh day means that I believe in the seventh day sabbath and not necessarily the rest of SDA teachings. Such as clean and unclean meat. My reasoning behind this is…

The Bible CLEARLY states that all meat is clean.

God sanctified the seventh day at creation.
The Bible does not say anything about abrogating the obligation to the sabbath.
It was to be a “perpetual covenant.” Perpetual being the key word here.

This is my reasoning.

Guess I was wrong, sorry.
But thank you for reviving this thread. It seems that it came about at an appropriate time because the Passover begins this Sunday. I hope I had satisfied both Pub and mtr01 on questions in this regard, especially passages such as Mat28:1.

Pub? Hmmm. Here we are Pug and Catholic2 at the Pub…

I like that smiley; excellent excuse to use it. Anyway, I have a little trouble with using the multiple Sabbaths in Matthew 28:1 to interpret the order of events in John. Clearly Matt and John do not agree on when the Passover took place relative to the crucifixion because they don’t agree on if the last supper was the Passover meal or not, so I am troubled by this line of reasoning, since they have different time lines in the two. For Matt, the Passover was already celebrated before Jesus was crucified. So Matt cannot mean what you say about Jesus being crucified approximately when the lambs for Passover got slaughtered. You would need John to argue that line of reasoning, but even then I think it may be possible to see John as having the Passover and the Sabbath be the same day (both on Saturday that particular year).
Code: 
 Now, concerning the literal translation (28:1), there is an idiom/phrase in it, I believe. You use the word Sabbath a second time in the verse, but it is there to mean the week and the word one/first is there, so it is the first of the week in that second usage, not another happening of Sabbath. The days were counted, so it is taking about day one of the week. It also means that for acts20:7 and 1cor16:2, I think, but Greek is far beyond my field of expertise.

 Have you read chapter 3 from Samuele Bacchiocchi's book about the crucifixion and resurrection timing? It talks about what the "day of preparation" means. It is online [here](http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/crucifixion/2.html). His stuff seems to talk about your topic of interest. I'm not sure what religion the fellow is, though, or what his purpose it.
BTW, thanks for getting me to think about it.
 
Pug: must have been a Freudian slip!

Don’t have time right now, but I will work on perhaps the definative and consummate work on the time line of Holy week, even to the point of harmonizing John and Matthew!

In the meanwhile I’m taking a drive to Kona just for kicks this nice day. I know a good Pub there, Pug. For now can you study when the feast of unleavened bread should be held if the tenth of Nisan fell on Sunday?
