The Easter Bunny

[FHII]

but I think the Bible gives clues to a reasonable time frame.
I said REASONABLE, I didn't say exact, in anticipation of legalists coming along with their microscope and tweezers. Passover is not the first month of the Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashana is. I've seen TV preachers fall into this miscalculated trap when trying to figure out when Zacharias was in the Temple, calculating from Passover as the first Jewish month, when it's not. You haven't given the date John the Baptist was conceived, why don't you figure that one out?. Your speculation is worse than my theory. I don't care of the exact date of Christs birth. Have your Christmas on Jan. 12.

here is a hair _____________________ split it for me.

Dude.... Ive actually researched this thuroughly.... My point is that trying to figure out the date of Jesus's birth by looking at the courses is fruitless. It is possible for every date except a small window from about Dec 1st to Jan 12th.

So you mentioning the course of Abiha is WAY to big for you to tackle.

Other tham that.... Your entire post is once again... Pointless. I mean. Seriously.... What is it you are trying to say?

FH you are right on....If God wanted us to follow Jesus birth, He would have told us the exact time, and would have commanded it in the Bible...
Dec 25th is not a Biblical day, but a day of worship to the sungods of Babylon 600 years before Christs birth..the pagan based Roman religious organization who were originally following the different gods, decided to try and "christianize" it to try and entice the real Christians into their satanic, pagan based religion...it worked, but it is not Biblical...real Christians, true followers of Jesus prior to that time, followed the Bible and did not celebrate Dec 25th, easter, or the first day of the week reverence...they kept God's commandments..as Jesus said "follow the commandments of God, and not the traditions of man' Mark 7 and Matthew 15.
There are many Biblical sites on the internet which explain this, and one in particular is "The antichrist hidden in plain site"

This cute wittle bunny doesn't know why you don't want to celebrate Easter, it weally weally wants to celebrate Easter wif ya, this bunny don't want another lonely Easter, if you weally care to spend some time with this paww wittle wabbit this Easter, this paww wittle bunny will be your best fwiend.

And this cute wittle reindeer would love to celebrate Christmas with ya, you will break it's feelings if you say "no you can't celebrate Christmas, you can't have any pressies." Naww imagine how upset this baby reindeer will be. :'(

Its too cold. Thats why. Its also too cold for a woman to travel outside, give birth and for the child to live.

The sheperds didn't give gifts.

The wisemen did give gifts. When Jesus was about 2 years old and living in a house.

Christians don't celebrate lies about Jesus. Celebrate whatever you want. But those that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.

That's not my opinion.

And at times of the year it's too hot. I don't think Rome was concerned over the elements.

The Shepherds didn't give gifts, but they were there. The wisemen were not there at the birth, but they were coming with gifts. And they apparently started their journey at the time of His birth.

It's not a lie to celebrate the birth of Christ or the resurrection of Christ.

..LOL...Josho you can rely on the easter rabbits and santa claus all you want for your salvation, that is your free will...
Jesus said in Mark 7 and Matthew 15 "Follow the commandments of God, and not the traditions of man".

You know, a lot of us dont agree with the RCC, but do you ever tire of constantly bashing them? I know I'm tired of it. You have a lot of hate in your heart. Whether or not you agree with their theology does not define their character or what type of person they are. Example, say you knew Mungo personally and you two were great friends. And through all your friendship you never once discussed theology or beliefs so you had no idea he was even catholic. Then one day you find out. Does he suddenly become a bad person? Does that suddenly change who he is? And if you wanted to change his mind on his theology, do you think you are going about it the best way, with insults?

See my point? Can you give it a rest?

BA

Do you find the Bible quotes insulting? tiring? bashing? Maybe the advocates of the Roman catholic church should give it a rest as well don't you think?

It is a lie do it on the wrong day and mix it with pagan practices though.

Oh great another legalistic on here, "children you can't have fun during Easter or Christmas." You guys are ya the religious police? Hahaha .God is happy no matter which day we worship him on, no matter which day we celebrate his birthday or dying on the cross for us. He never said thou cannot feast in celebrating him.

He did say we must worship in spirit and in truth though...

 

[bbyrd009]

amen, but ya gotta note that God did not strike ol' King James down for inserting "Easter," or, maybe He did, but it is still in there, and God seems to use everything for good. Easter might be the only, or first exposure kids even get to Christ. A seeking kid is prolly led on from there, while an unseeking kid is not, as God directs. I notice, too, that whenever i learn some deep new thing, i become basically useless to God for about the next year, until i can overcome the pride that learning it engendered in me, all over again. Lol.

Iow, hard lesson, but recognize when you are pulling tares, maybe, which by that i mean that this is the lesson i am currently learning, i hope.

Josho,

Why can't it be both? "He did say we must worship in spirit and in truth though..." and we all agree, but that does not cancel, negate or supplant what Josho said. Its univerally normal to celebrate past events. The Jews had Rosh Hashannah, Passover, Sukkot, etc. It's not wrong for them to have specific days for specific events in their tradition, but wrong for Christians to celebrate Christmas and Easter? What was the point of these scheduled Jewish feast days IN THE FIRST PLACE???

Don't sever your roots.

 

[heretoeternity]

The Jewish feast days were commanded and sanctified by God...
dec 25th and easter are not commanded, blessed or sanctified by God, but are traditions of man which Jesus warned us not to follow. Mark 7 and Matthew 15...so who you going to follow Jesus or the world?

So you are ashamed of worshiping God on all Sundays, Dec 25th and Easter, I see........ So then what do you do then if Dec 25th happens to fall on a Sabbath, a Saturday? Do you go cancel your Church service and pretend the Sabbath never happened? Do you go painting all your door frames and window frames with the Lamb's blood on those days? Do you ask God to surround you with his protection from any Christmas celebrating Christians and Easter celebrating Christians and Catholics?

 

[heretoeternity]

Dec 25th and easter are of no significance..they are like any other day of the week. The only day of the week God blessed and sanctified is the seventh day of the week now known as saturday...Genesis 2.
Dec 25th and easter are traditions of man and not from God...Mark 7 and Matthew 15...
Who you going to follow God, or the traditions of man?

I think the point is that the Incarnation is a glorious fact that actually happened in time and place.
