Pascha means Passover. It’s not BS. That’s what it literally means. Easter was not even a word when Acts 12:4 was written by Luke.
Youre welcome to your opinion. But you gotta admit that the religious folk absolutely hated his guts when he talked about things they didn’t understand. No different here, I’m talking about things that you haven’t learned yet.
And I praise God every day for it.
Pascha from Strong’s...
- the paschal sacrifice (which was accustomed to be offered for the people's deliverance of old from Egypt)
- the paschal lamb, i.e. the lamb the Israelites were accustomed to slay and eat on the fourteenth day of the month of Nisan (the first month of their year) in memory of the day on which their fathers, preparing to depart from Egypt, were bidden by God to slay and eat a lamb, and to sprinkle their door posts with its blood, that the destroying angel, seeing the blood, might pass over their dwellings; Christ crucified is likened to the slain paschal lamb
- the paschal supper
- the paschal feast, the feast of the Passover, extending from the 14th to the 20th day of the month Nisan
We all know what Passover was. The question is what do Christians call the fulfillment of Passover.
Thats not my point. Luke, under the Spirit’s inspiration, used pascha, which means Passover. He didn’t use Easter, because it wasn’t even a word at the time he wrote Acts.
Im not talking about original languages, I’m just asking you what is the fulfillment of Passover called.
1 Corinthians 5:7 uses Passover for pascha, which is the same word used in Acts 12:4. He is our Passover Lamb, not a fertility goddess, egg & bunny.
If I remember rightly resurrection is associated with the Feast of Tabernacles not Passover as a type/anti-type.
So resurrection does not complete Passover and turn it into easter.
That won't explain away the KJV translators blunder and inconsistency any more than trying to claim there is a difference between holy ghost and holy spirit.

That is nonsense and you know it!
Heartily disagreeing with you cannot be confused with hatred of the KJV.
I have nothing but contempt for the KJVO brigade but I use the KJV, despite its limitations, and I use other translations, despite their limitations...
Remember, he's talking about things I haven't learned yet. What are these things he's talking about?
There's two Christs in every believer. A heresy.
The Christ inside of him is not the same Christ indwelling another believer that learned about the Christ another way. Another heresy.
He doesn't care about the originals because the KJV corrected and improved them. A joke.
Yep, I haven't learned what he's talking about, and I praise God every day for it.
Yes, he is extraordinarily confused on a lot of levels.
In some ways he is so ignorant of many realities that he has no way of realising how far off the mark he is...
It's a snowball effect for them.
If they admit that Easter isn't the correct word used in Acts 12:4, they have to...
1) Admit the translators of the KJV weren't inspired as they translated it
2) There are errors in the KJV just like the other versions
3) Brings the KJV down off the throne as their god and makes it just like the other versions
4) The mss the KJV translators used were no better than the mss used by MV's
So I know why they won't admit it. They will never quit worshipping their god, the KJV.
Since we are actually talking about the Sunday following Passover, I would use Firstfruits, as does Lev 23.
h...,
HERE IS YOUR SPIN;
I have no problem calling a "bible" that espouses those things as a re-write, because it is changing basic doctrine to fit politically correct thought.
What I have a problem with is anyone insinuating that anything other than the KJV translation is a "re-write". They are translations... just as the KJV is...."
I didn't say that....nor was it insinuated by any word choice I made.
What I have a problem with is those who spin and add to a post as if it were gospel by the writer...fakely.
You apology is not necessary. Perhaps a correction to be considered.

It all comes down to believing every word in the bible means what it says and says what it means. Of course your going to think I'm off the mark.
I think you are complicating it too much.
The goal of Luke as a historian was just to identify when that event about Paul happened. It happened after Jewish celebration of Pascha.
We do not need to create Christian theological implications and connect it to Resurrection
