That refers to the Jewish restriction what kinds of animals you can consume. Not on whether it should be cooked or not, a medical issue.

I'm not going to argue with you if that's what you want...the scripture there speaks for itself.

Easter
originally a Saxon word (Eostre), denoting a goddess of the Saxons, in honour of whom sacrifices were offered about the time of the Passover. Hence the name came to be given to the festival of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the Passover. In the early English versions this word was frequently used as the translation of the Greek pascha (the Passover). When the Authorized Version (1611) was formed, the word "passover" was used in all passages in which this word pascha occurred, except in Act 12:4 . In the Revised Version the proper word, "passover," is always used.
Not a Greek word Except in Catholic And KJV only claims.
Orthodox agrees it does not mean Easter.

Etymology. From Ancient Greek πάσχα (páskha, "Passover"), from Aramaic פסחא (paskha), from Hebrew פסח (pésakh) .

Easter is called pascha in Latin and in Greek...therefore translating pascha to Easter is not a bad translation.They were totally wrong and totally bowing to Catholic doctrine.

Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned you have lost this argument.
You can reject the kjv if you want...as far as I'm concerned you are one of the ones that was prophesied about in 2 Timothy 4:3...you have left the authorized version to heap for yourself teachers/translators to tell you what your itching ears want to hear.

Easter did not exist at the time of the writing.
The Bible was not written in Latin. That being the official language of the Catholic Church.
It does not matter how it is used today. It matters at the time of the writing and there was no such thing as Easter.

Go ahead and put your face in the Bible that did not exist until 1611. Deny there was a Bible prior to 1611.
That is your problem not mine.
Added to your denial of the Trinity.

You don't know that for sure...Easter was widely celebrated by the late 2nd century according to Wikipedia.

You are quoting Catholicism.
I don't know that I am...but even if I am, Catholicism isn't always wrong about everything.
And I think that you are quoting Jehovah's Witness sources...much less credible than Catholic ones.

What's the big deal about translating it as Easter therefore? It is huge whoop-de-doo about nothing; simply because the devil and certain people who have been convicted by the King James Version, do hate the King James Version.
The statement quoted above is also strong evidence that Easter was celebrated by the disciples at the time that it was mentioned in Acts 12:4; as Passover continued into a celebration of Christ's resurrection, which happened the exact same time of year.

Thanks, you have said it all - everything necessary, everything correct, it was the time of the yearly 'vernal equinox' right around the world. Many thanks. "'6:00 is NOT night during this time of year.'" 6:00 is sunset starting night then day "the fifteenth day of the First Month", "since it was on the sabbath great day of sabbath" of the Passover of Yahweh Saviour Creator in the year of our Lord Jesus' death.
