TEACHING on EASTER / Resurrection Sunday Empty Re: TEACHING on EASTER / Resurrection Sunday

Post  Admin Thu 21 Apr 2011, 12:22 pm

There is no way you can get 3 nights starting at Friday....
PLEASE READ.

When Jesus Actually Died (to get 3 nights)
THIS IS WHEN JESUS DIED AND AROSE AND HOW WE GET THE 3 NIGHTS.
Remember. You CANNOT go by our Roman calendar of 12 to 12, but must
go by Jewish calendar of 6 to 6. Jesus was crucified and buried by
Jewish calendar, not our Roman calendar.
Jesus did not die on Friday like some believe. There is no "Good
Friday". There is no way you can get 3 nights in the tomb from Friday to
Sunday not matter which calendar you use.
Matthew 12:40 "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign,
and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet
Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's
belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth".
Here Jesus spoke of Himself being in the earth (tomb) for 3 nights.
Was this sign to mean Jesus would die and rise after three days and
three nights sealed in a tomb?
As I already said, you have to go by JEWISH and not ROMAN calendar.
We go by Roman calendar, which is 12 to 12.
The Jewish calendar goes by 6 to 6. In other words, 6:01 p.m. Wednesday nights is actually Thursay.In other words, we do not turn the page of our calendar until 12:00
midnight.
The Jewish people turn the page of their calendar at 6 pm which then
becomes the next day. While we are still in the previous day, the
Jewish people are already on the next day.
Accordingly, after 6 pm on Wednesday it is now Thursday by Jewish
calendar, whereas we (following Roman calendar) are still in
Wednesday until 12 midnight.
Now, keeping that in mind........
........... if Jesus died on the cross on Wednesday it was already Thursday
after 6 pm by their calendar. Now you can get your 3 days in the
tomb and Jesus arose early in the morning, which means, anytime
after 6 pm SATURDAY is SUNDAY by Jewish calendar. So Jesus could
have risen about 6 pm which is already Sunday. Here keep reading.
Jesus died sometime Wednesday. Check this out.
Now count with me.
Wednesday evening after 6 pm (first night)is actually Thursday by
Jewish calendar. Thursday, after 6 pm, is second night but remember
that after 6 pm is now Friday.
Friday, after 6 pm, is the third night, but after 6 pm it is
Saturday.
Saturday, after 6 pm or right around 6 pm HE AROSE which is actually
EARLY SUNDAY morning. That is where EARLY SUNDAY morning comes
from. Not 5 or 6 am, but after 6 pm or right at 6 pm Saturday.
St. Luke 24:1 "Now upon the FIRST DAY of the week......." (Sunday)
and very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had prepared and certain others with
them".
verse 2 - "And they found the stone rolled away......"
Jesus had already risen. He had risen way before they ever got there
on Sunday morning. He had risen Saturday evening, at 6 or a little
after, making it already Sunday (first day of the week).
Accordingly Jesus did not die Friday, which is why we do not
celebrate "Good Friday". Jesus didn't die on Friday. How do you
get 3 nights from Friday to Sunday, which is immediately after 6 pm
Saturday? SEE MY POINT?
No Jesus was not crucified on a Friday. He was actually crucified on
a Wednesday. He was put in in the grave Wednesday just before sunset
and was resurrected Saturday at sunset. The reason the church has
mistaken Friday as the day of crucifixion is because Scripture
mentions the Sabbath, and people just assume that it was speaking of
the regular Jewish Sabbath. There is no indication in the Bible that
He was buried Friday at sunset. If this would have been the case, He
would have been in the grave only one day and one night, proving His
own words untrue: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in
the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth(Mat 12:40) Jesus does
not lie. Therefore, man has distorted the truth.
Jesus would be 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb.
Jesus Died Wednesday:
Thursday is the 1st day, Friday, the 2nd day, Saturday, 3rd day.
Jesus was crucified on Wednesday. 72 hours later later, Saturday
evening (early Sunday morning), He rose and the empty tomb was
discovered on early Sunday by the women.

Post  Admin Thu 21 Apr 2011, 12:15 pm

Bearing in mind the 3 days and 3 nights and the Jewish calendar which goes 6 to 6 and not 12 to 12 as our calendar goes,
Jesus died Wednesday evening after 6 pm, making it already Thursday morning by Jewish Calendar. (See my other post about this).

TEACHING on EASTER / Resurrection Sunday

After extensive research while in college, here now below is my teaching study on this holiday..... .
EASTER / Resurrection Sunday
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Should Christians celebrate Easter?
I don't think so. Read on for my reasons.
B. Should Christians celebrate Resurrection Sunday?
Absolutely!! Continue reading for my reasons.
C. EASTER? A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY?
Easter is NOT a Christian holiday. However, Christians celebrate
this as "Resurrection Sunday" (which we should celebrate) and it is
based on the Biblical account of the death and resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ that dates back to the beginnings of Christianity
and it is probably the oldest Christian observance we know about
today, though is actually based on an ancient pagan celebration.
However, the world has taken it and made it into a commercialized
holiday. Hence, we have Peter Rabbit, colored Easter eggs and
baskets.
II. GODDESS "Ester", "Eostre", "Oestre"
Those particular items have to do with the goddess "Ester"
(or "Eostre" or "Oestre" depending upon what country language,
who is the "fertility goddess", and, who, at Passover time, required
feasts and celebrations in her name. Easter is apparently named
after this pagan goddess "Ester", "Eostre" (Latin: Oestre), an Anglo-
Saxon maiden-goddess of fertility. Some might link her to "Ishtar /
Astarte", the Middle Eastern goddess
III. ORIGIN of EASTER
A. PAGAN ROOTS OF "EASTER" (non Christian)
The pagan roots of Ester which evolved into our present day EASTER
dates back to ancient times not long after the Flood as recorded in
Genesis 6. Nimro, grandson of Noah turned from following his
grandfather Noah's God and became a tyrannicalruler. As king,
according to biblical records, Nimrod created Babel, Ninevah,
Asshur, Calia and other cities, all kown for lifestyles that
promoted unspeakable evil and perversion. When Nimrod died, his
wife, Queen Semiramis deified him as a "Sun-god" or life giver.
Later he would be known as "BAAL" and those who followed the
religion that Queen Semiramis created in his name would be called
Baal worshippers. They became associated with idolatry, demon
worship, human sacrifices and other practices. Queen Semiramis's
illegitmate son Tammuz was considered at Queen Semiramis's
prompting, Nimrod reborn. Peope were looking for a promised Savior
and believed Tammuz to be him.
B. CREDITED WITH TRADITION
Queen Semirarmis is also credited with the tradition of the Easter
Bunny and the Easter egg. The reason being they produce, rabbits and
so have long ago been associated with fertility and its goddess
Ishtar, Astarte, and Ester, all the one and the same.
This "holiday" revolves around many other spring festivals, (Easter
falls in the Spring, right around the Vernal Equinox), and also May
Day, where children play around a Maypole and sing and dance and
offer flowers to Flora, the goddess of spring, and also to
Jewish holidays, such as "Passover", the celebration of the memory
of when the death angel passed over them in Egypt when they were
still in bondage.
C. SPRINGTIME RITUALS
The origin of Easter goes back to the springtime ritual instituted
by Semiramis following the death of Tammuz, who, according to legend
and tradition, was killed by a wild bor. Legend has it that the
Queen mother's tears resurrected him into the form of a new
vegetation that appeared on the earth.
This goddess-name may be older than we suspect. The "Oestre" name in
Latin apparently derives from the Greek, and has it's roots in a
word that means "frenzy." We see this word again in English
in "estrus," meaning a female mammal 'in heat' and able to conceive,
and there we see the meaning behind the "frenzy" definition.
Since we also see a similar word in Anglo-Saxon, and cognates
of "Ost" or "East" only appear in the Germanic languages (that
includes English) we might look at the origins of the root-word as
being before Greek and the Germanic languages separated. This is
advanced only as speculation, but I feel it is worthy of the
attention of better scholars than I.
Since Easter is named after a pagan goddess, then we should not
celebrate the holiday? Right we should not. However, to celebrate
the Resurrection of our Lord and call it Resurrection Sunday,
absolutely yes!!
Well, then if we should not celebrate Easter with the Easter Bunny,
the painted eggs, etc., why do we?
In Genesis 11:7, the building of the tower of Babel, led God to
confuse their tongues to keep them from being further unified in
their false beliefs.
It is believed that our 7 day week as we know it is named for
pagans. Is their truth to this?
The seven day week was developed in Babylon (O horrors!) circa. 2300
BCE, and consisted of days to honor the five visible planets and the
sun and moon. Their week consisted of: Shamash (Sun's day), Sin
(Moon's day), Nebo (Mercury), Istar (Venus,) Nergal (Mars), Marduk
(Jupiter) and Ninurta (Saturn.)
It is horrific indeed to see that the names we use come borrowed
from the Norse deities associated with the same planets: Sun's Day,
Moon's Day, Tiu's Day, Wodin's Day, Thor's Day, Freya's Day and
Saturn's Day. But that is the way it is and we can do nothing about
it.
The months of January, March and June are right out, being named for
the Roman deities Janus, Mars and Juno. July for Julius Caesar.
Jesus, who was born a Jew into a Jewish family, lived about
2,00 years ago in Judea. The more detailed accounts of the last
week of Jesus's life on earth is found in the Book of Matthew, in
Chapters 21 through 28. It tells how Jesus made a triumphal entry
into the city riding on a donkey. Large crowds gathered to greet
and cheer him, pulling down palm tree branches and waving them,
hailing Him, placing them in His path as He rode, and then, sadly
enough, a week later, those same people hung Him on a tree. But it
doesn't end there. He was the victor over death. He arose and we
celebrate that day as "Resurrection Sunday", though the world calls
it "Easter". Praise God for "Resurrection Sunday".
D. EASTER/PASSOVER
Easter or Resurrection Sunday coincides with the Jewish festival
of "Passover". In fact, the name "Easter" in several languages comes
from "PESACH", the Hebrew word for "Passover".
a. In Spanish the word is: "Pascua".
b. In Italian, the word is: "Pasqua".
c. In French, the word is: "Paques".
d. In Dutch, the word is: "Pasen".
e. In Albanian,the word is: "Pashke".
f. In Swedish, the word is: "Pask".
Though the world may call this special Sunday, "Easter", we
Christians like to think of it as "Resurrection Sunday". For it is
the day that we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior
from the dead.
"Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" does not have a fixed date
as does other celebrated holidays. Instead, it falls on a
different day each year, depending on the time of the full moon in
March. It is set as far as being the first Sunday after the first
full moon on or after March 21. Therefore, it always comes between
March 22 and April 25. Before Easter begins, there is, by tradition,
a forty-day period of fasting and self-denial called "Lent" that
many Christian denominations follow today. It means "lend" and comes
from "lencten", an Anglo-Saxon word that means "spring". It is a
time when Christians prepare for Easter by not eating certain
foods or doing certain things. They call that "lending it to the
Lord" or self-sacrifice. We celebrate every day, every moment of our
lives.
IV. MISCELLANEOUS
A. USED IN CELEBRATION OF THIS HOLIDAY
1. PARADE
The Easter Parade is dying out, more is the pity. This was a custom
of promenading along the main streets in your best spring finery,
saying hello to all your friends and showing off a bit. It was quite
the social occasion for many years, reaching it's real peak in the
Gay '90s. Judy Garland starred in the old classic: "Easter Parade".
Now we have commercialized parades chock full of advertising and
secular motifs, or giant Easter sales in the department stores,
and "The Easter Parade" is just a quaint old song.
2. FLOWERS
The Easter Lily os a symbol for this holiday. It plays a major part
in Easter decorations, as well they should for a Spring festival.
3. EASTER BUNNY
The Easter Rabbit is very interesting, and one of the oldest symbols
of the Spring. In Indo-European mythology, the hare is sacred to the
Goddess, being supposedly seen in the markings on the moon (another
goddess symbol, though not universal by any means).
In Germany, children were told that the Easter Hare would bring them
eggs on Easter if they were good. This is the origin of our Easter
Bunny. It is first mentioned in Germany in the 1500's.
4. EASTER EGGS / EGG HUNT
We don't know exactly when or where the custom of eggs at Easter
originated. There is a grave excavated at Worms, Germany that
contains two goose eggs painted with stripes and dots, but it is
unknown if the grave is Christian. We do have evidence of Easter
eggs from 11th Century CE Poland and from Britain around the time of
Edward I.
Pope Gregory the Great (590-604 CE) forbade eggs during Lent, and
they therefore became a great delicacy after Lent at Easter.
V. CONCLUSION
Jesus, "on the night that he was betrayed," apparently celebrated
Passover with his disciples (and thus established the Christian
Communion rite). This is why Easter is so close in timing to
Passover.
But many Christian Churches, in the early days of Christianity,
could not agree on the date of Easter. This was the primary
disagreement between the Celtic (Culdee) Church and Rome for many
years, with the Celtic Church keeping the holiday on the fourteenth
day after the paschal moon (according to the rule of the Council of
Arles in 314 AD, and in spite of St. Augustine and the "Synod of the
Oak") and the Roman observing it between the fifteenth and twenty-
first. This was pretty much settled at the famous Council of Whitby
in 664 AD, with Aldhelm, the Bishop of Sherborne, persuading the
Celtic Christians in Cornwall to conform to the Roman usage in the
early part of the eighth century AD.
However, to celebrate RESURRECTION SUNDAY the rising of our Lord
from the dead, now that is something to celebrate!!!
