I don't have a "Westminster Confession" in my Bible. "Theologians" are refereed to as "Traditions of men" in my Bible.

Jesus said in red letters that He came to fulfill the Law, not change it or do away with it in Mat 5.

The Roman Catholic church banned Sabbath worship in the 4th century and changed it to a pagan day to worship the sun god. They banned Passover and the other Leviticus 23 Feasts because they were Antisemitic. Jesus kept every law and Feast listed in Scripture because He kept the Law. The first church that Jesus started Himself observed the laws and feasts as He did. For nearly 400 years it was so. A modern thing we ask today is "What would Jesus do?" People that claim Christ but don't keep His Commandments will hear from Him "Go away from Me, you workers of inequity, I never knew you". If you notice, Easter and Passover NEVER fall on the same day. Passover always falls on Nisan 15. Christmas is celebrating Tammuz, Nimrod's son. Nimrod is a type of Antichrist that started Babylon.

If you are looking for a mulligan of grace after you know what God requires, you aren't reading it right. God felt so strongly about the Sabbath that he included it as the 4th Commandment. Christians don't have 9 Commands out of 10. He never said don't commit adultery only if you feel like it. If you know what God said and don't do it, that is sin. When Jesus explained that if you have hate in your heart, you have already committed murder, or lust in your heart, you have committed adultery, He was explaining that you are still expected to follow the Commandments but also expected to understand the spiritual aspect of what they mean. Learning the Torah is a Spiritual teaching that is the foundation for the whole Bible and the foundation for understanding Jesus. An example would be a study of Exodus and learning the connection between the Tabernacle and Jesus. In Revelation we find the connection with the Tabernacle and Jesus.

Rev_21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

If you don't study the Old Testament, you will never understand the message of the New Testament. They are NOT different. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

....

It is written,
In the first month and in the 14th day of the month, at evening shall be the Passover of the Lord.

Passover is the 14th.
Unleavened Bread is the 15th.

It is written,
And on the 15th day of this month shall be the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto the Lord.

So, the Seventh Day Adventists got that right, eh?

Assuming this chart is mostly accurate, the change by the Early Christian Church (not really the Catholic Church, as we think of it today, the first of the schism's having not happened, and the Bishop of Rome not being considered the head of all Christianity at that time) -- meant that all future churches created by schism or separation inherited the "pagan" errors of Sabbath on Sunday.

Easter and Passover don't celebrate the same thing, obviously, so it's not clear that Easter is on the Wrong day, other than the entire Julian calendar was tossed onto the scrap heap by Pope Gregory to fix the errors in the Julian one. Logically it falls to ~: Passover + 3 days.

Excellent point from an excellent post. Those who are presented with the truth and choose not to believe it, will not be saved. Many think they’ll get a second chance if they’re wrong the first time. They will have chosen poorly.

2 Thess 2:
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
