And this comes from one who tells us to read HISTORY.
DAMN!
I’ve been outted!
BUSTED!
Well you are partially correct once again.
Jesus is God, who created a new covenant, changing the rules as it were, and came as the Messiah for the whole world, both the Jews and everyone else (a twofer from God) he did start a new Religion, Christianity, built off of both traditions old and new.
It is not one that requires us to make numerous revisions to our own version of the Bible, say a name perfectly that we are not sure of the pronunciation to begin with nor is it simply traditional Judaism just add Savior that showed up in 1920.
It is your contention that Peter, a man who would go on to be a leader in the Early Church, who was born and raised in the middle of the Roman Empire, an Empire whose language was Latin, who traveled at the very crossroads between the Northern and Southern parts of said empire ultimately winding up in Rome itself, a place where more than a smattering of Latin was spoken, to grow the Church in the regions he traveled in, preach to the locals on the journey and be martyred, in Rome, under the Emperor Nero spoke NO Latin at all?
Incredible...
James, step-brother to Yah'shua lead the Jerusalem council. Peter went to Babylon as is cited in scripture. There is no scriptural support for your assertion.

Obviously you are unfamiliar with the work of Hebrew Scholars such as Wilhelm Gesenius among others...
Yahweh predates the "German Christians" a tick or two...
Next time you might try leaving the apostrophe's off of 'pagan'.
Easter is thoroughly pagan in name and origin. It's only connection to Passover is that both happened in the spring around the time of the equinox. Early Christians had a bad habit of trying to make pagan conversions easier by Christianizing pagan holidays.
As a result, general Christianity lost the Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles as Christian feasts with all of their attendant prophetic fulfillment and replaced them with Easter and Christmas and their pagan symbolism.
Oy Vey...
And better...
As one who was an honors history major myself, and did more than a little reading on the Empire and its society this is about as funny as it gets.
I guess Peter just stuck his fingers in his ears and went “la la la’ when, well, basically anyone walked by...
I guess I would have to ask if Peter knew no Latin how did he find Rome LOL...
Unusual for one wrapped up in Mormonism.
“The first day of the week for a follower of the Messiah
begins at sundown on “Saturday””
So you use the definition of a day beginning at sundown thus Acts 20:7 means that they met on Sunday. as Saturday had ended with nightfall.
You are obvioulsy ignorant of how one tells time ;-)
No matter when you think Sunday begins, it always has been and always will be the first day of the week.
The sign above Jesus on the cross was written in three languages - Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew

Prove it, do you have a photo?

thus Acts 20:7 means that they met on In Genesis, days begin at darkness and end at the darkness of the next day. Gentiles count days from some time during the night e.g. midnight. YHvH's Holy Shabbat begins at sundown on "Friday" and ends at sundown on "Saturday" The first day of the week for a follower of the Messiah would begin at sundown on "Saturday". Gentiles would see the first day beginning at midnight between "Saturday"/"Sunday" Sunday first day. as Saturday Shabbat had ended with nightfall.It is clear, I did not make myself clear enough.

That is what the KJV of John 19:20 says,
"This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin."
