Actually, there is one single verbatim scripture quote in the entire post. All he does is say that such-is-such is what some verse really meant. For instance, he claims that Jesus died on a Wednesday, and provides three apparent scripture references, based on an insistence that Passover was on a Thursday, not on a Friday.
The simple explanation: Jesus did, in fact, celebrate Passover earlier than the Pharisees did, as there WAS a disagreement as to how to count the days.
The Pharisees' passover began on Friday evening. This was the passover that they were trying to get Jesus dead by. Jesus, following the Essenses (as references to the way he celebrated it make clear), celebrated the passover, beginning on a Thursday evening; and died on the day of that passover (Friday day), and not on the day of preparation for that passover, (Wednesday day).
No need to join any cults that declare 99.999999% of all Christians throughout history to be idolators.
... but then, you've been following Doug around from thread to thread for so long, affirming his wacko cult, haven't you?
If anyone thinks I'm being harsh calling them a wacko cult, I appeal to you to observe that during this holiest of holy times, Diego and Doug are accusing (through the sum total of their deceptively scattered posts) all the great saints, and pretty much every Christian you've ever known of loved, to be hell-bound idolators. Just a little doubt sown here, a little there, and the entire Christian church is under attack. Please note this:
>> Neither can Easter claim to be the time of Christ's conception, His birth coming in the autumn (3312 years before His death in the spring). <<
Where, oh, where is the biblical basis that Christ was born 3312 years before his crucifixion? Why were there people who, at the time of his ministry, clearly remembered his birth?
Diego and Doug are not Christian. They are tools of Satan, having come to spawn division and confusion among Christians.
Give it a rest for a few days. It was Good Friday when you posted this. Focus on the death and resurrection of Christ.

I do seem like a crackpot cultist to you...and that's okay. You think I am because you do not accept the word of God, but instead embrace that which is not of God. You reject God's holy days which are clearly outlined by the God of the universe and accept your own holidays, which are clearly manmade in origin and steeped with pagan customs and traditions. . You can't handle the truth, so you lash out with anger and ridicule.
I will gladly point out that these "festivals" are just that, festivals masquerading as real holy days.
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Passover is the day that Christ was killed for our sins. It is the day that Christ specifically told his followers to remember his sacrifice on. Most of the Christian world has rejected Passover in favor of the the manmade tradition of Easter. Furthermore, the religious world mixes with the secular, which embraces idolatrous symbols, in celebrating Easter.
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
So you admit your agenda. Fine. Let everyone read, however, that you weren't posting it simply because you found it interesting, but because you were advancing the agenda of your cult.
We all believe it's bad to commit idolatry. Where you are a crackpot is in reaching the conclusion that there is some biblical basis for establishing that Easter Sunday is idolatry because somehow the Christian Church was unanimously deceived into celebrating the festival of an Anglo-Saxon goddess, centuries before they set foot in the land she was worshipped in, and centuries after all worship of her ceased. Yet you promote the bizarre notion that Jesus walked the Earth for over 3000 years.
P.S. I'm not talking TO you; I'm talking ABOUT you.
You know...I think maybe they mean 33 1/2 years. I could be wrong.
You still sound angry.
This is a holy time, but only by coincidence. We are in the 7 day period of the feast of unleavened bread, one of God's ordained feast periods:
Lev 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Lev 23:7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Lev 23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Only God can make something holy. Easter and Good Friday are manmade inventions and thus are not holy.
Diego and Doug are accusing (through the sum total of their deceptively scattered posts) all the great saints, and pretty much every Christian you've ever known of loved, to be hell-bound idolators. Just a little doubt sown here, a little there, and the entire Christian church is under attack. Please note this:
I haven't, and I know diego hasn't, accused any Christian of being "hell-bound". I think most Christians are sincere, but misguided. I think that those who are celebrating pagan holidays are mostly ignorant of scripture and are immersed in a satanic deception, but I'm confident that the truth of God will win out in the end.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Ummmm...I'm fairly sure that's a typo. The author probably had written 33 1/2 years before his death in the spring.
Diego and Doug are not Christian.
I know for a fact that I'm a Christian. I was baptized into the body of Christ and have had hands laid on me for the imparting of God's spirit. I can't say for sure whether diego is or not because I've never discussed it with him. But surely he has God working in his life because he has a great understanding of scripture and seems to have Godly character.
They are tools of Satan, having come to spawn division and confusion among Christians.
1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jo 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I believe that Jesus is the messiah. He came to earth in the flesh and died for our sins.
1Jo 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
1Jo 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the first born of God. He sits on the right hand of God on his throne.
1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jo 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jo 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
It's a typo, as pointed out in the last two posts. 33 1/2 years is what the author probably meant. Sorry you couldn't see that.
My "agenda" is this:
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
That's all.
No need to join any cults that declare 99.999999% of all Christians throughout history to be idolators.

Matthew 7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,Y'shua said :
b'shem Y'shua
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do
to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
and only a few find it.
How did anyone conduct civilization "before the Flood". Certainly you do not dispute the existence of civilization at that time.
And I think you're a nice guy but completely wacko with some esoteric mumbo-jumbo.
Seems that when the core collapses and material falls in, it compresses enough to carry sound, albeit on a vast scale.
Sound travels through that material. Then, when the infalling material is then blasted out into space by reactions at the core, it eventually reaches a point where it is not dense enough to carry sound waves.
Uhhh, you did understand that stars carry sound. Right?
I'll take that. I used to think it was pretty weird too. But once you accept the fact that God really, truly did create holy days and called them "his" you begin to see that the man made ones are cheap imitations.
If you're going to be jewish, then be jewish.
Boo. Hiss. Garbage article without any historical veracity.
Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
These are the feasts of the Lord, Jesus Christ. They are the same feasts he observed while on earth:
Joh 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
They are the same feasts kept by Paul and the same one's Paul told his congregations to keep:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Being Jewish has nothing to do with it.
Everyone's a critic....:-)
