Was Easter Borrowed from a Pagan Holiday? The historical evidence contradicts this popular notion.
I had a nurse from my health insurance company come visit me today. (you get a 50 gift card so why not :))
I still don’t have diabetes at my ridiculous weight and bp is fine. God is throwing second chance after second chance.
What was incredible though, is she preached to me the power of Jesus Christ to heal all ailments of the mind. body, and soul. And begged me not to mention what she said to the higher ups. I thought it was beautiful.
Check the last two lines of the article, please.
Jesus didn’t ever read the NT, either.
Thank you for posting this.
I have always felt that the RESURRECTION was proof unto itself...why else would these men, the Apostles and disciples have continued to preach His message and subject themselves to persecution and death if their so called savior was rotting away in his grave.....nope, they knew that He rose from the dead....they saw Him...and later watched as He Ascended into Heaven.....would certainly strengthen my faith!!!
Sure He did...and He was there at Christmas too!!!....read the book.
scripture says He laid His life down for our sins on Passover, as the Lamb. scripture says that is the 14th day, the 6th and final work day , a preparation day.
scripture says He was buried and laid in the tomb on the High Sabbath, the 15th day, which begins the Feast of Unleavend Bread, the 7th day Sabbath.
scripture says He was raised from the dead on the 3rd day. The Feast of First Fruits, the 16th day. the ‘first day of the week’ after the sabbath.
death, burial, resurrection.
all on His Feasts.
and good friday, holy saturday and easter sunday are found nowhere in scripture.
they are , however, found in the catholic catechism..
and maybe that is why when Pasover appears to ‘float’ around the pope gregory calendar, christians, messianics, jews never connect the dots that times have changed.
and why jews dont see passover as the last work day of the week , the day He finished His Work. even when it hits on the pope’s monday like it did in 2014..
tough to sell Paul’s gospel of passover, unleavened bread and first fruits according to the scriptures he knew with Rome’s substitute that fits their calendar. even judaism accepts it..
satan deceives the whole world..
You’re welcome. I learned something from it.
**and good friday, holy saturday and easter sunday are found nowhere in scripture**
Baloney.
Good Friday — the arrest, mocking, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus all happened on Good Friday.
Holy Saturday — Read the Scriptures. Christ descended to the dead. Some got up from their graves and walked around Jerusalem visible only to the believers.
Easter Sunday — The women go to the grave, Mary Magdalene thinks Jesus is the gardener, then she runs to tell the apostles that she has seen Jesus. Jesus walks through a door and shows himself to the apostles. Jesus appears to two disciples walking to Emmaus.
How can you miss all this in the Bible?
The number one thing you need to know is that Jesus did not celebrate Easter.
It may not have been called Easter, but He certainly did celebrate that day. In the morning, He visited His friends Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, later that day He joined two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus and shared a meal with them when they arrived there, then that evening He stopped by and visited His disciples and dined with them, eating some baked fish in front of them.
scripture says He was buried and laid in the tomb on the High Sabbath, the 15th day, which begins the Feast of Unleavend Bread, the 7th day Sabbath.
It was my understanding that scripture recorded that, in keeping with Jewish law, He had to be buried and laid in the tomb on the preparation day, before the Sabbath began.
He was there at Christmas but He did not celebrate Christmas. It was not a recognized holiday.
maybe that is why when Passover appears to ‘float’ around the pope gregory calendar, christians, messianics, jews never connect the dots that times have changed.
You really don't know how the Feast Days are established, do you?
