****Every single resurrection passage uses the Greek "μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων" to designate the day He arose from the tomb............Saturday the Sabbath, Nisan 30, A.D. **** NOT SO! I'm tired of plowing over this old ground again. “The first day of the week” http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/3157

Well then.......perhaps you should not bother reading my posts .... because it is very obvious you are rejecting truth. I would suggest you simply not plow anymore as my posts are directed to folks who have not yet been totally corrupted by the Church of Rome and her pathetic daughters.

Outside of eight texts in the NT [Matthew 28:1][Mark 16:2; 9][Luke 24:1][John 20:1;19][Acts 20:7] and [1Corithians 16:2], where we find μια των σαββατων translated as "first day of the week", there is no example of σαββατων having the meaning of "week" in any Greek literature before AD 100....... and then only in "Church" Greek after that. The first attested use in this sense in Didache 8.1. This sense is entirely wanting in Secular Greek, the LXX, Josephus, Philo, or any other Greek literature of Jewish provenance before the destruction of the Second Temple except for these eight texts. That sense is also entirely lacking in classical and Koine Greek except for its alleged use in these eight texts.

Furthermore, these eight texts are not just ordinary examples where nothing is at stake. What is at stake here is the original separation of Christianity from its Jewish roots, and the justifications supplied for this schism. Therefore, we may rightly suspect that the alleged sense of "first day of the week" is due to opportunistic revisionism based on sectarian religious and political motivations.

So..........go ahead and believe your phoney Translations and Lexicons that were all put together by folks who grew up in the Church. Good grief! What else would you expect them to say?
