John celebration of our Lord’s resurrection is plain old Christianity. Read I Corinthians 15 it is simple Christianity from the Word of God. All things that the church does are not DIRECT commands from the Scripture. Where's the command to carry a Bible with you to church (but you do)? Where's the command in the New Testament for a choir to sing praises to the Lord as part of corporate worship? Where's the command for crowds to gather for evangelistic meetings as they did under George Whitfield (but they did by the thousands)? We get these things from applying Biblical principles. The book of Galatians false gospel was specifically about the Judaizers. Yet we use the term another gospel about the teachings of the RCC and other works based teachings. Just because the context is about one thing doesn't mean it cannot be applied to other things. My friend, as I see it, it is you who are grasping a straws to reach your conclusions as you refuse to even examine evidence that shows Easter is not of pagan or RCC origin but the practice of believers from the early existence of the church. |

Sure John, and thank you likewise for your gracious reply. This site is filled with sermons from men of God taking millennial old books of the Bible and applying it to modern day society. We look at Joshua 1:8 and acknowledge in context it was spoken to a specific man (Joshua)about specific books (the Pentateuch) but apply its truths to us in this day and add the whole of Scripture. We can certainly agree that Romans 14 was not written about Easter as it was not in existence at the time. Yet there are principles there that one can apply to our day and age. Since we are discussing days and not meats, I am not including the latter in my discussion of the matter, please do as you wish. The Scripture says One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord: and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. The meaning seems pretty clear, but brother will look forward to your enlightenment on the matter. Thanks |

John UK wrote: Do you see what I'm saying, bro? Can anyone see it? Or am I a lone voice in a desert? John the Bible specifically says that when the disciples saw the Risen Lord, they were glad. Like you would be if you were, you know, celebrating something. Encylopedia Brittanica defines Easter as thus Easter, Latin Pascha, Greek Pascha, principal festival of the Christian church, which celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his Crucifixion. The earliest recorded observance of an Easter celebration comes from the 2nd century, though the commemoration of Jesus’ Resurrection probably occurred earlier. Paul said if no resurrection, note his words, we are of all men most miserable. The resurrection is worth daily living and daily celebration, The fact that there is a designated day called Easter falls under Romans 14 "He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it", so condemning some one for a special yearly celebration of our such a wonderful event is unbiblical. What the unregenerate do, doesn't determine what the brethren do. Maybe that is why your a lone voice. |
