I dont think I am digging a hole deeper. It just shows that some in the East celebrated the Lord's resurection at the same time the Jews celebrated the Passover. Others chose a date different so they would not be tied to Jewish calculations of when the Passover was.

Because they did it does not mean all Christians celebrated the Resurrection at the same time. Even the Jews changed the keeping of the Feast of the First fruits, tieing it to the Passover when it was originally celebrated at the end of the week when the first crops were brought in on the day after the weekly sabbath.

Well......I guess the question then would be, "Which day does your creator prefer? The one inspired in His Holy Scriptures....or the one the Church has portrayed."

They're obviously not the same....and since you folks cannot come up a legitimate commandment from His scriptures to honor Sunday as His Sabbath............then I'll go with His way....the scriptures.

I'm not Jewish so I don't care what they've done or what they might do. The first fruits are waved on the 16th of Nisan [Leviticus 23:11].

Eusebius has John as a priest wearing the mitre, and it is to noted that while Eusebius is invaluable, his reputation for accuracy is an issue (he was duped by the The Legend of Abgar for one thing).
