A "proper sense" of chonology seems at ease with numerology. Council of Nicaea. Vernal equinox. Loss of the knowledge of precession. Gregorian clalendrix reform. These things seem to involve issues unrelated to numerology. No wonder we have Christian confusion.

Don't discount the possibility the their accounts were 'straight' at one time, until factions got control of them, and reworked them to fit in with their ideas.

And rightly so. The seventh day is when evening did not follow the day and so is the everlasting day without opposites or confrontations that makes creation possible. Creation then is the product of a rout between 2 opposites that in the first six days is presented with day and night that exist only along the road-dust of the sun, to say that on the seventh day when evening did not follow because illumination was/is not from the sun but from the everlasting ligt that was prior to us before the light of common day appeared in Gen. 1:14, even after knowledge was retained with the division of water and dry land that makes daylight possible to see. Ie. the essence of light must be created before daylight can be noticed as the illusion for humans to see.

Now it is fair to say that Samaritans and Jews agree that the world to come is the seventh day and that is true for them but is not necessaily true for others. IOW, just because they say it is for them does not mean that it is for all, to say that the seventh day is home to Catholics who therefore, yes, institutionally celebrate Easter for not 1 but for 2 days to show that evening did not follow the seventh day, to stand in evidence that Jesus (not Christ) was raised on the seventh day to be with Christ who never knew the light of common day. IOW Catholics are redeemable while under the sun and so it is that heaven is a place on earth for us to see.

Like, illusions are fun to play with but will carry little weight when the shots are called and truth must hold its own.

For the sake of interest, please notice that also Christmass is celebrated for 2 days but that can be on any day of the week since this is only the beginning of Purgatory, as we call it, that home-bound Samaritans never were able to leave behind . . . to show that hell is also a place on earth while under the light of common day.

Furhter then, please pay less attention to Matthew who is much like the modern day Christians and will add an extra day for good measure to be sure. To make it easy, just do a finger count and go: Friday 1, Saterday 2, and Sunday is the third day on which he rose, which even in Matthew is "until the third day" (27:64) to allow for Resurrection on Sunday.
