1. Jesus celebrated Passover early (so much for the exact day being critical).
2. The APOSTLE PAUL made it 100% clear that “it is not about days” (So you reject the Biblical teaching).
3. If it IS all about the resurrection … that was on a Sunday (first day of the week) … not a variable calendar.
4. Easter (the word) has NOTHING to do with Ishtar the goddess. It is the German word for “East” and was the name of the mass celebrated at dawn to commemorate the resurrection (the son rises in the east).
Jesus Kept the Passover on Passover, Biblical Days start at Evening and It was on Passover Evening, after telling His Disciples to Keep the Passover with the Bread and Fruit of the Vine, Then He was arrested He was Crucified on Passover Day, which is always fourteen days from the new moon Abib Exodus 12:2
1Corinthians 5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our
Passover is sacrificed for us:
1Corinthians 5:8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
Your traditions have made void the Word of God, and as Peter warned the unlearned twist Paul as they do all he scriptures. Paul was in a hurry that he might keep Pentecost in Jerusalem in Acts if you look it up.
I choose to live by the word of God, not a twisted version thereof
Jesus was Crucified on the Fourth Day _ His Body went into the tomb on the Fifth Day at evening Fifth Day, Sixth day Evening-Sixth Day Seventh Day Evening - Seventh Day.
Three Days and Three Nights
He Rose on the First Day while it was still Dark, could have been anytime after the sunset ending the seventh day.
John 20
1 | The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. |
The first day begins when the sun goes down, early referencing the evening portion which started after the sunset, ending the seventh day.
Since Passover can fall on any day of the week, and Firstfruits, the waving of the sheaves is always on the 1st day of the week following Passover, The time between Passover and Firstfruits varies from 1 to 6 days, Firstfruits Resurrection Day is the first day of the counting of the omer 50 days until Pentecost.
Wrong day for the resurrection wrong day for pentecost, the faith once delivered unto the saints is not found in the denominations of man. How Messiah is joined to His people is a Mystery not found in buildings.
