We are witnessing a tantrum of sorts on this.
Even though the NT is solidly in compliance with Torah in every chapter, those that have not kept his commandments are unable to come to grips with their predicament.
The words of Matthew 7 ring constantly in their ears, as they will for eternity, unless they repent of their Iniquity.
Far too many will never be able to turn their lives.
.
Yeshua’s law is Torah, the law of love. That is what Moses preached.
The false laws and traditions of the Pharisees are what went to the cross with Yeshua. All of the NT writers have affirmed this fact. Torah is “instruction in righteousness” and without righteousness the forgiveness of past sins becomes meaningless.
Read 1John through. It declares that those that are in Yeshua do not sin. Sin is defined as the transgression of Torah
1John 3:
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Do you think that an idle comment?
I wondered the same. Must be someone has a gun to his head? ;o)
All throughout Scripture we are NEVER commanded to mark the day on which Jesus died, but we ARE given strong hints that it was His resurrection that mattered the most and the earliest believers met on the first day of the week in memory of that. If we don't believe He rose again from the dead, we are not true believers. Paul even said, "and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. (I Cor. 15:14)". I believe God cares more about us believing in Jesus Christ as our risen Savior than He does that we KNOW what all the days were two thousand years ago. Those who make a big deal out of this are more concerned about their church being right and everyone else being wrong than they are about the gospel. That's why I have refused to continue the argument. It is nothing but "foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless." (Titus 3:9)
All this makes me wonder why all the “fuss” about the day that our Lord and Savior Jesus suffering and dying on the Holy Cross, when the scriptures does point out it would be on both the Passover and right before the Jewish sabbath? Be at peace!
Have a good and blessed Holy Easter weekend!

“...ubiquitous threads opened by RCs the week Easter is celebrated...”
Why oh why is it always the Catholics?
Why don’t you protestants start ‘ubiquitous’ threads during Easter week?
“...the RC “tradition” of Good Friday - probably invented for the benefit of a long weekend”
Nice prot slam going to the motives of why and what someone did 2,000 years ago.
yeah that’s right Catholics had nothing to do but “invent’ when Easter week occurred.
and you have nothing to do 2000 years later but sit around all day and opine, opine, opine.
So will you be actually going to any protestant services on this Easter Week or will you just be home ‘churching yourself’?
BTW it is easy to be a critic, not quite as easy to post a coherent critical argument...have a blessed Holy Week...
For the Greater Glory of God
Why are you taking the easy route?
**What astounds me the MOST about these ubiquitous threads opened by RCs the week Easter is celebrated is the huge fuss being made over what day what occurred. **
I totally agree.
Nothing... Keep your Easter Bunny and your Santa Claus, your Vicar and your Sun Day - none of which have anything to do with the real Messiah or his works...
We have our Messiah, his Passion and Death and his Resurrection.
May you come to believe that the New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament that you hold so dear.
The Alleluia will return when Christ rises from the dead. Hopefully some time in your future life, you also can exclaim, “Alleluia.”
Interesting. Have you seen the *Creator's Calendar* presentation by Rood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaoxRRfBMuQ&list=PLEFC186CD9395CEFD
I hold both dear friend, together they = the Whole Word of the Almight.
Hopefully some time in your future life...
Get your days of worship correct, stop your pagan observances, then let's talk about him and how much more awesome the truth is than the lies we've all inherited in western Christianity.
God bless...
We don't have to. It happened at EXACTLY the time the Lamb of Passover was slaughtered - a shadow picture that occurred in Eqypt, a thousand years in the making, and the observed kept ever since, before it actually occurred on the cross. Now that's the work of the Almighty!
There were two recognized Sabbaths that week as is common every year since then...Your religion got the wrong one...That's why the 3 days and 3 nights numbers are meaningless to your religion...
Getting the right Sabbath shows that the prophecy of the sign of Jonah was real and true...
Jesus did not rise on a Sunday but to bible believing Christians that is no matter...And as boatbums points out the fact that he rose from the dead is all that matters...We rejoice in that...
Yet the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday did realized the prophecy of Jonah. Those are 3 days, CASE CLOSED.
“Jesus did not rise on a Sunday but to bible believing Christians that is no matter...And as boatbums points out the fact that he rose from the dead is all that matters...We rejoice in that... “
What is more important is that ALL Christians, regardless of Church community, REJOICE at the rising of Jesus.
You can't just ignore the 3 nights...According to your accounting, Jesus then was raised on Monday morning...
“Nothing... Keep your Easter Bunny and your Santa Claus, your Vicar and your Sun Day - none of which have anything to do with the real Messiah or his works... “
i am happy we agree 100% on something, the easter bunny, santa claus, my vicar and my sun day have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ dying for my sins on the cross and rising from the dead on the first day of the week. and this first day of the week, i will gather together with many other believers and thank Him for reconciling me to the Father in His Body and i will pray for those who reject the new covenant in his blood and still think they can be justified by keeping the law of Moses.
