“All that proves is Justin didn’t know what he was talking about...”
Church history is very interesting, Polycarp was a disciple of John the Apostle and he celebrated Easter Sunday. Justin gave witness to the Universal Faith taught by the Apostles and by 150ad, there were probably thousands of believers who were taught by John still alive. What was this Universal Faith, believed all across the known world.....Jesus was crucified, died and was buried on a Friday and rose from the dead early Sunday morning.
NO ONE in the early Church taught or believed a Wednesday death, NO ONE. The Apostolic Tradition and Scriptures were too strong for anyone to teach differently.
one more thing for those who think Constantine invented Sunday worship as a pagan day to worship the sun.....notice what Justin says about the day of the week Christians worshiped on and this was about 175 years BEFORE Nicea.
btw, Justin loved the Lord so much, he lost His life for his Faith.
Sunday nonsense was instituted at Lao DiCea in 364 AD.
Prior to that there was some traditional Shabbat worship and some pagan worship.
That council was when the massacre of Yeshua’s true followers began in earnest.
The practice of worshipping Sun Day originated a long time before Constantine. So did the Friday worship of Dagon the fish god, and Easter, the goddess of fertility.
There is not an ounce of truth to that statement...PolyCarp celebrated the resurrection of Jesus on the Passover...
What was this Universal Faith, believed all across the known world.....Jesus was crucified, died and was buried on a Friday and rose from the dead early Sunday morning.
How could it have been when the apostles taught and the bible teaches differently...
NO ONE in the early Church taught or believed a Wednesday death, NO ONE. The Apostolic Tradition and Scriptures were too strong for anyone to teach differently.
That's crazy talk...
