WHAT ABOUT THE CELEBRATION OF EASTER?

It's that time of year, that most Christians celebrate Easter Sunday.  Easter is a man made celebration.  In the bible it isn't commanded that we  celebrate Christ's birth or Resurrection.  We are to observe and Remember his Death.  

Looking into the history of the Roman Catholic Church, you will see The RCC thought to change the day of worship from Saturday (the 7th day of the week) to Sunday (the first day of the week).  God didn't change the day of worship or his day of rest.  The RCC instigated Easter and Christ-mass to bring more people into their church.  Read this for yourselves, don't take my word for it.  

Both holiday's are called pagan (heathen).  The bible tells us NOT to learn the way of the HEATHENS.  Just because you are in their midst, do not worship as they do.  My church doesn't celebrate either one.  We observe once a year on the 14th day of Nisan (first Jewish month of their calendar) the Lord's Supper Service.  Some call it the Last Supper.  This year the date fell on March 26, 2021 at sundown.  That is when we remembered the death of our Savior.  Christ at his last time to be with his disciples, the night he was arrested, Tuesday evening, they were together in one accord at the Passover Feast.  

Passover isn't Easter or the Last Supper/Lord's Supper.  Christ and the 12 were seated at a table separate from the others at the Passover Feast.  Christ told his disciples he would be betrayed by one of them, arrested and hung on a cross to die for the sins of the whole world.  He showed them the emblems for his body and his blood and told them to come together once a year on that date to take the emblems, unleavened bread (unsalted crackers, no leavening) and his blood (unsweetened grape juice, fruit of the vine) until he returns.  He then got up from the table, girded himself around the waist with a towel, and washed their feet.  Judas had already been pointed out as his betrayer, and left to go to the authorities.  They sang a hymn and went out into the Garden of Gethsemane.  

Christ and two of his disciples, left the other 9 behind in the garden and went up the Mount of Olives to pray.  Christ left the two about half way up, and continued on to the top alone.  He came down twice to find them asleep and was so hurt that they couldn't even stay awake long enough to pray for him.  The last time, he left them sleeping.  He had told his Heavenly Father he would go through with dying on the cross.  

Him and the two disciples came down from the Mount of Olives back into the Garden of Gethsemane, where Judas and the two centurions awaited for Judas to point him out, and betray him by kissing him on the cheek. The guards arrested him and took him to Pilot to be judged.  He was in court all Tuesday night, beaten, scourged, spit on and mocked.  He was sentenced to die.  Put on a cross Wednesday morning about 9:00 a.m.  Died about the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.)  Right before sundown on Wednesday, Joseph of Arimethea begged Pilot  for Christ's body.  Joseph took him down from the cross, wrapped his body in linen and laid him in his own tomb and rolled a huge stone across the entrance.  The authorities posted two guards on each side of the mouth of the tomb, so no one could come and steal his body and say he had risen.  

Christ literally remained in the tomb 3 nights and 3 days as he told his disciples he would.  You cannot get 3 nights and 3 days from Friday evening until Sunday morning.  When the women came to the tomb early the first day of the week (Sunday) they found him gone.  The angels told them "The one you seek, he has risen as he said he would.  Come and see the place where he laid."  Mary Magdalene first thought his body had been stolen.  She was in tears.  She was told to go to the city and tell his disciples the Lord has risen.  She saw a man on her way, whom she thought was the gardener.  Until he spoke her name, she didn't realize it was Jesus.  She hurried on her way to tell the disciples and met Peter and another disciple and took them back to the empty tomb. Christ went on into the city and met two disciples and ate with them.  They were blinded and didn't know it was Jesus.  Later he met with the 11 and doubting Thomas.  Christ came out of the tomb late on the Sabbath (Saturday) close to sundown.  

Man has for years taught the false teaching that Christ came out of the tomb early Sunday (first day of the week) morning and we should observe that day as his resurrection.  Now how do you explain the things that are done on Easter Sunday to remember our LORD?  What does easter eggs, and bunnies, laying eggs??? have to do with the resurrection of Christ?  That was done to draw the children in. The truth needs nothing added to it to make it real.  Please study very deeply about the death and resurrection of Christ.  What you have been taught, are false teachings.  I pray your eyes will be opened.

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
