Easter time - Why were there no spectators at the resurrection of Jesus and why does Paul not even mention a physical resurrection?

[Bendito]

Bendito -- referring back to your post #35. You were responding back to another poster, but your response caught my attention.

And, yes, there Are lots of O.T. feasts -- they are fulfilled in the N..T.

No one is renaming any pagan feasts. That which has been referred to as Easter Sunday has been a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ with the bunny and egg hunt included.

And Christmas has been celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

No one that I've ever met has been worshiping any pagan gods on Easter Sunday / Resurrection Sunday. 'We' are celebrating the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ / the beginning of Christianity.

Back in #35 -- you were responding back to Victor Van...... his last paragraph suggests that he doubts the resurrection. The title of the thread reflects his doubts.
And your response back suggests that you agreed with him.

That which people did Back Then has no bearing on what is being done Now. It is the Fact of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ that needs to be focused on.

Well -- the word 'trinity' isn't found in the Book , either. But the term 'Godhead' is. And our salvation is made possible through the trinity=Godhead= God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son and the Holy Spirit.

And the term 'rapture' isn't found in the Book either. But it is described 'the up-gathering of all born-again believers' at some point in the future.

Post 35 intimated no such thing. It only says that "Easter" is not in the Book. The resurrection is..of course! There is NO mention of celebrating Easter or the resurrection.
Now.....Show me in the Word where we are not to celebrate the feasts of God. Show me where the feasts are "fulfilled". Again, you are saying things that contradict Word..

Egg laying rabbits, hot cross buns, easter eggs, sunrise services, You cannot use the elements of pagan worship and call it holy! I don't know why Christians cannot,or will not understand that.

A person can practice all the feasts of the Old Testament they want to -- but Why. Unless a person is Jewish. And They don't Have to.

And what is Wrong with having a sunrise service on Resurrection Sunday. After all -- that's when the tomb was found Empty -- the bolder had been rolled away by an angel who told the first people there that He was Risen. "Very early on the 1st day of the week".

Sunrise service "replaces" worship of the sungoddes ishtar......Same elements of pagan worship.Chrisitanized. You asked! Listen to that clip.

 

[Sue D.]

I started listing to that 'clip' but decided not to continue with it.

I definitely do Not agree with that sunrise service replacing the worship of any sungodess or anything else. Maybe it does to some people but lots of people say lots of things that are simply ideas that have been put into video form. To Me -- it's just plan sickening.

That sunrise service is sacred. Maybe it depends on the pastor presenting it -- our pastor is wonderful in presenting the Gospel. He's a wonderful Bible teacher.

 

[Sue D.]

Maybe I should have said it's irritating rather than sickening.

Whatever....As I said....I really do not understand why some Christians cannot or will not accept the truth. I'm done

 

[Sue D.]

Guess that depends on what a person accepts as being 'the truth'.

"I'm done" ?! That's okay, Too. That makes Two of us. Enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow.
