Using The Message translation to defend your position is bringing the weak sauce.

Mark 16:9 is a clear indication of which day He rose, couple that with Lev 23:11 having the waving of the sheaf and the offering of the lamb occuring on a Sunday, and it is a pretty much an open and such case.

Every passage of the Bible dealing with visiting the tomb mention Sunday. Mark 16:9 makes plain that Christ rose on Sunday. There is no passage of Scripture that clearly points to it occurring Saturday as the day of Resurrection. And you are going to hang your hat on The Message?

All you have is conjecture, because your 7th Day Adventist mindset prevents you from accepting a Sunday Resurrection.

We can agree that a Friday death is unlikely based upon Scripture, but it is clear that He rose on Sunday.

There's others, but for the sake of brevity I didn't use them. Would you like me to?

The point is that even biblical scholars disagree on the translation of the verse you're using as proof of a Sunday resurrection.
