lets look at each of your claims."Easter Enigma' - one of your 'great theologians' Wenham. Also a 'great Greek Scholar' .... let me give you all in a nutshell,
Tradition's approach makes of the several stories of several visits, the one and simultaneous occasion of Jesus’ resurrection. Contradictions, discrepancies and total confusion are the inevitable result! It was bad enough that this ‘solution’ to a self-created ‘riddle’ was ever offered. It became a comedy of tragic proportions when protagonists began to defend their presumptuousness through unlawful improvements on the Scriptures.
First thing ever and always:
No Scripture speaks directly of Jesus' resurrection.
lets look at each of your claims.
#1. "No Scripture speaks directly of Jesus' resurrection." Revelation 1:17 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
well the Lord Jesus said it right out of his own mouth.
so what's your response?

well there's bible study, and then there's bible stupidity. the OP isn't a bible study. it falls under the media ruling if it scares grandma or tick off grandpa its news worthy. hence the same line of thinking here if it ticks off those who care about what is true then it will get a response. and note they just keep posting one nonsense after another once they have your attention.
First thanks for the reply, and second, I know you know, but I was addrsssing the unbelieving scholars of their points, as to whom you said this was about, not you. but just in case if you wen't sure, hence the reason that I addressed it. for many are not that assured.I'm not saying Jesus did not rise from the grave and the dead and death. I'm not saying that the bible does not say that Jesus rose from the grave and the dead and death. HERE, I am saying there is NO Scripture that tells the actual EVENT OF Jesus' Resurrection except Matthew who recorded the day and time of day and the circumstances and circumstantial events of, Jesus' Resurrection -- THE THINGS YOU NEVER SEE BEING GIVEN CREDENCE BY THE VERY SORT OF SCHOLARSHIP THAT YOU ARE SHOWING OFF WITH.

be blessed. no worries.

The word day does not appear in the original greek. In Mark 16 v 9 it is the first of the Sabbath.

It is - as good and better perhaps - which is, by Ellipses.The word day does not appear in the original greek. In Mark 16 v 9 it is the first of the Sabbath.

You're right, <<In Mark 16 v 9 it is the first of the Sabbath>> does not appear in any Greek, never and nowhere and nohow. Because πρωῒ πρώτῃ σαββάτου is non-Hebrew, non-OT (See A.T. Robertson et al.), 1) Hellenistic 2) New Testament, PURE GENUINE LASTING, ASSAYED, coined and STANDARD CHRISTIAN and UNIVERSAL and globally ACCEPTED, IDIOM for the unit of days "OF-THE-WEEK" in this phrase meaning "on the First Day, of-the-WEEK"... and nothing else whether the CHRISTIAN NEW TESTAMENT Greek word 'sabbaton' occurs in the GENITIVE Singular or Plural. The Plural became the preferred and is today the only one in common use and in translations.
When on its own and by itself the Genitive σαββάτων indicates the 'weekly Sabbath' - the Seventh Day Sabbath of the LORD GOD.
Great men like Calvin (my hero incidentally) - Young is another - for lexical composition purpose solely, refer to 'the first of the Sabbath/s'.
Using 'Sabbatohn' like you do proves nothing than ignorance and bias.
Who is Case?It is - as good and better perhaps - which is, by Ellipses.
Also Case, proves the word 'day' is implied. It would have to be 'proht-ehi sabbat-ohi' - Dative and Dative, were it <on the first sabbath>; but now it is "on the First-Prohtehi Day (Hehmerai)— OF the-tou Sabbath-day-Sabbatou" - Dative and Genitive.
'Prohtos' Adjective is used for the name-of-the-day and is perfectly synonymous with the numeral 'mia' in meaning and form - Dative, Accusative, Genitive, whichever.
The problem for the Wednesday crucifixionists is not the phrase πρωῒ πρώτῃ σαββάτου, but the Verb of the sentence, simply! "He as the risen APPEARED"! How could He "as the Risen", 'rise' supposed to be? πρωῒ πρώτῃ σαββάτου does not tell when Jesus rose; it tells of when He "appeared": "early on the First-Day-of-the-week".
