ArchivedQustions about your bible. ...........x_m_m_x_, now it is time for you to listen to the word of God and not a man who thinks he knows God's truth based on just one gospel. Jesus was crucified on the day before the Passover Seder. Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday before sundown since the Passover started at sundown. What many Christians including your pastor fail to take into consideration is the day after Passover was the first day of Unleavened Bread and a Sabbath regardless of what day of the week if fell on. The Sabbath mentioned in the other gospels is the weekly Sabbath. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a week long festival and no Jew (and Herod Antipas was a Jew) would desecrate a holy festival with an execution. Now read Acts again with all the facts. In case your pastor and you cannot understand plain English this reads after Peter was arrested then came the days of unleavened bread (an eight day celebration if you include Passover, which Jews did at that time and do today). So unless Peter was arrested on Passover Peter could not have been arrested during the days of unleavened bread or there is a mistranslation in the KJV on this point also. The pagan celebration that Easter is named after was held on the vernal equinox or on March 21. In 44 A.D. the Passover was on Thursday April 2, or a week after the vernal equinox. The Christian celebration of Jesus resurrection would have been celebrated by Christians on the follow Sunday or April 5, which is almost two weeks after the pagan celebration. Therefore you precious KJ translators screwed up and screwed up badly since Easter was not even called Easter when in the first century. Christianity was not introduced into Britain until the 3rd century and it was not until Constantine called the First Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. that the Christian celebration of the Lord’s resurrection was called Easter. So your pastor’s explanation is a pipe dream and he is not to be trusted as a purveyor of truth. Now, in my previous post I linked to an Internet site that supports the KJ as the best translation but also acknowledges the KJ still contains translations errors, which include substituting Easter for Passover in Acts 12. For your edification here is how “Easter” came to the Roman Empire and the celebration was called Lupercailis: After the conquest of Britain the Britain gods would have been honored in the Roman Pantheon but Rome’s other gods would have remained supreme and any specific celebrations would be named for Venus (Roman) or Aphrodite (Greek) since these are the goddesses of spring. You really need to study not only secular history but also the history of the Hebrews since Hebrews wrote the Bible (with the possible exception of Luke). And no self-respecting Jew is going to designate a pagan celebration with a holy Jewish name especially a celebration as holy as the Passover. BTW, you should also research the life of Herod Antipas if you are going to make claims about this man you better know what you are talking about. |
