Featured Holy week

In years past here on the BB, I have spoken up against “holy week” observances, as a purely “superstitious” practice, disguised as a religious practice and have been amazed at how many of the “Christians” here, come out of the woodwork to jump down my throat for such sacrilege.

Well the “lenten season” has come around again, but this year I have a new observation to add. The observation is, that almost 99% of these people who will come out in favor of the unbiblical recognition of “good Friday”, are also KJB haters.

Now this has never surprised me, because of the fact that a love of the KJB is usually an indication of a love for the DETAILS of what God’s Word has to say. And any honest detailed look at the Scriptures will point out how truly unbiblical this whole idea of holy week is.

But the new realization that I am adding this year is the fact that these same people who Hate the KJB, will be quick to point out the “so-called mistake”, in Acts 12:4.....
“And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
------------------------
Now for sure, the word “Easter” here, is translated from the same GK word that means “Passover” and people are quick to jump on this as a reason not to read the KJB.
While in the same breath, lifting Easter up as the star in the holy week’s crown.
(You either love Easter or you hate Easter, make up your mind.)

Now as I have said before; Although I do recognize Easter as a special day, I also celebrate easter every Lord’s day. And also I don’t see this translation in Acts 12:4, as the big mistake that others do, for 2 reasons.

➀ First, we aren’t Jews; We are Christians. And the man that had been put into prison in Acts 12, was a Christian who was being persecuted for his faith. Therefore it seems perfectly natural to set the precedent here, in that regard.

➁ Also, almost 100 years before the KJB used the word Easter in this verse, it had been used in Tyndale’s Bible.........
V.4 And when he had caught him he put him in preson and delyvered him to .iiii. quaternios of soudiers to be kepte entendynge after ester to brynge him forth to the people.
------------------------
I remember someone from the BB, telling me in years past that.... “Any Church that didn’t celebrate good Friday, needed to repent”.

And as usual I am saying, that “Any Church that celebrates good Friday or any of those other Catholic holy week observances, needs a new pastor”.

 

Your right Salty, I can’t back this “99%” up.

But I have never met a person who uses the KJB, who also celebrates good Friday;
Although there may be.

 

Now I can see what happened.

The same thing that happened in Matthew 20.........
V.18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
V.19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.
V.20 ¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.
V.21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.” (Matthew 20:18-21)

Here the Lord was telling his Apostles EXACTLY what was going to happen to Him in Jerusalem......
But at about the same time the mother of James and John came up and made this outrageous request.....
The result was, “no body heard” what the Lord said about His death and resurrection three days later.!

They were so upset by that request, that they didn’t hear what the Lord had said!
------------------------
The same thing happened in my OP

I said........
“Well the “lenten season” has come around again, but this year I have a new observation to add. The observation is, that almost 99% of these people who will come out in favor of the unbiblical recognition of “good Friday”, are also KJB haters.”

And when people saw those words, “KJB haters” their minds shut down and they didn’t pay any attention to the next paragraph.....

“Now this has never surprised me, because of the fact that a love of the KJB is usually an indication of a love for the DETAILS of what God’s Word has to say. And any honest detailed look at the Scriptures will point out how truly unbiblical this whole idea of holy week is.”
------------------------
And that is what this entire issue of “holy week observances” is all about.
(How interested are you about “the details of Scripture”!)

Undoubtedly not very much; In one of those old responses someone even said, that they “didn’t care”, what day the Lord died!?!
--------------------------------------------------
My contention is(and has always been), that those people who are willing to change English translations of the Bible, like they would a pair of shoes, just aren’t interested in the details of what the Bible really says.

And these same kind of people, also don’t care about the details of what the Bible has to say about worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in truth.

For instance anyone who includes something like “lent” into their worship of the LORD, and then can’t explain where the Bible tells them to do it; Are just not interested in rightly dividing the Word of truth.
