And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.[Acts 12:4]

Easter was an Anglo/Saxon word. The old English/Anglo-Saxon language didn’t come about until the mid-5th century. So around 400 years later was the earliest easter became a word.

I know but the KJV was written in the 1600's.

Dude the entire Christian world celebrates Easter as the death burial and resurrection of Christ. You must have read Pagan Christianity or something lol.

If His birth is the same day, why is His resurrection in March some years and in April in others?
 
So now we have Herod arresting and persecuting Christians while celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ.

You know that whole false idea of Easter being pagan started with Alexander Hislop.... maybe he hate the KJV or something I guess but Easter originally meant the rising sun or east and resurrection.

The English word Easter is of German/Saxon origin and not Babylonian as Alexander Hislop falsely claimed. The German equivalent is Oster. Oster (Ostern being the modern day equivalent) is related to Ost which means the rising of the sun, or simply in English, east. Oster comes from the old Teutonic form of auferstehen / auferstehung, which means resurrection, which in the older Teutonic form comes from two words, Ester meaning first, and stehen meaning to stand. These two words combine to form erstehen which is an old German form of auferstehen, the modern day German word for resurrection.7 (Italics in original)

Poppycock. Any serious study of the ancient religions of man will show you that fertility worship was common among all races. Every major empire and people had it's fertility rite of spring. Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Canaanites, Hittites, Scythians, Greeks, Romans, Celts, Norse, the peoples of the near & far east. Every culture known to man. Eggs, rabbits, evergreen trees, phallic symbols. They were obsessed. You can't get away from it. It isn't a story invented just lately to smear the venerated KJV. It's well-known, well documented, archaeologically provable FACT. The British Museum holds mounds of evidence.

The week of unleavened bread = The Passover.

[h=1]Luke 22:1 King James Version (KJV)[/h][FONT=&quot]22 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.[/FONT]
 
Acts 12:3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. Now it was during the days of Unleavened Bread.

So it was the Jews egging him on...

Because as MarcR pointed out Passover changes on the Gregorian calendar. And Easter aligns with it some how.

But His birth is the same day every year.

Pascha can not mean ‘Easter’. It solely means ‘Passover’. These are two entirely different celebrations.
 
KJV1611 said:
The KJV doesn't say they were celebrating Easter. The KJV translators were reffering to the passover in post-fulfillment terms.

IMO God would NOT inspire ANYONE to confuse Jesus' resurrection with the fertility symbols honoring a pagan goddess or the nude public orgies that accompanied them until Victorian sensibilities were offended.
 
SovereignGrace said:
Precisely. They committed a huge gaffe by using an Anglo/Saxon word in lieu of pascha. It was after the Passover, not after Easter.

Ok...... we disagree lol. :) But in all seriousness what word could they have used to point out that particular one instance where passover had been fulfilled?

Also to add to that, do you think they were pagans trying push their religion into Christianity or were they just dumb as rocks.

Do you agree that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ was fulfillment of the Passover or are we still waiting for fulfillment?

Are you confused with Jesus' resurrection and a pagan goddess just because of the word Easter?
 
KJV1611 said:
Who knows what Easter originally meant, I tend to believe it meant east. But nevertheless it like Christmas was hijacked by the pagans at some point in history.

Well I don't need the "name of a holiday" to remember that Jesus resurrected, the "day" would be "nice to know" but the main focus should be on Jesus's resurrection on whatever "day" that lays claim to said event.
