Easter and Christians

Easter day was founded on prejudicial and has pagan roots that date back thousands of years. If We would celebrate HIS Resurrection it should be done on the end of Passover week not tomorrow. That was when it happened. Solomen thought that there was no issue with ascribing to the pagan practice of sacrificing in high places to our GOD. His intentions were pure but it is recorded as a short coming.... Solomon demonstrated his loyalty to the LORD by following the practices of his father David, EXCEPT that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.
(1Ki 3:3 NET)

I celebrate Easter because of Christ's resurrection. I do not celebrate Easter because of the pagan background that "dates back thousands of years." I don't really care if the word Easter has foreign pagan roots. So did a lot of the terms and words Paul and the writers of the New Testament used.

John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Jesus rose on the first day of the week and I celebrate the power of the resurrection and its meaning for us as believers.

Solomon demonstrated his loyalty to the LORD by following the practices of his father David, EXCEPT that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

The Day Easter was founded was due to prejudice and has pagan roots that date back thousands of years. If We would celebrate HIS Resurrection it should be done on the end of Passover week not tomorrow. That was when it happened. And that my friend is next Sunday.

Are we forbidden from celebrating the resurrection tomorrow? No.

You're comparing apples with oranges. If your conscience does not allow you to celebrate the resurrection tomorrow, then don't.

There was no Temple or Tabernacle Tent.

The Easter celebration is about Christ's resurrection & has zero to do with Solomon's mistakes or anything else pagan.

Jesus rose on day 3 (first fruits) not at the end of the feast.

Just like a birthday or any other day calendar day. Passover day floats, the year Jesus rose, first fruits fell on Sunday.

Jesus was crucified on what we call Friday, the sixth Day, just before sundown He was laid to rest in the tomb of a rich man.

It does ot matter how it is counted Sundowwñn is the beginning of the Seventh day. Saturday after the third hour, late in the day, was one day and one night, Sunday was the second day and night Monday was the third day and night.

It is written He was to be in the tomb three days and three nights, this makes Him risen afte the third hour oon Monday but before sundown.

This is my understanding, and this is how man has always counted days. Also whether it be a lunar or a solar calendar there are but 24 hours in a day with variances of the lengths of day or night according tyo the seasons.

Incorrect. Solomon built the Temple. Later in life he started sacrificing at the high places, to satisfy his many pagan wives.

Scripture doesn't say that Solomon's intentions were pure, nor does it say that he thought there was no issue with sacrificing at high places. That's speculation.

As I said, if that's what your conscience tells you to do, then do it. My conscience doesn't tell me to do so, so I won't.

Let's take a look.

1Kgs 3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
1Kgs 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: EXCEPT he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
1Kgs 3:4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

Nope He went to Gideon because there was a great high place and offered up a sacrifice; a thousand burnt offerings upon that alter to our GOD not some pagan god to satisfy his pagan wives.

Then In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 1Kgs 3:5

And at the tail end of the dream GOD said, "And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days." 1Kgs 3:14

And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and STOOD BEFORE THE ARK (NOT AT THE HIGH PLACE WHICH HE LEFT AT GIBEON) the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. 1Kgs 3:15

Walking in GOD's ways, keeping HIS statutes and HIS commandments, as his father David did walk
He did not do it thinking it wasn't ok.
1Kgs 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: EXCEPT he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
1Kgs 3:4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

If it feels good do it. Do thine own Will? Welcome to the religion of subjectivity.

Solomen thought that there was no issue with ascribing to the pagan practice of sacrificing in high places to our GOD. His intentions were pure. HE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE AS PERTAINING TO HIS CONSCIENCE, but it is recorded as a short coming.... Solomon demonstrated his loyalty to the LORD by following the practices of his father David, EXCEPT that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

I stand corrected on this point... but only on this point.

Given that God met him there and asked what he desired, can you argue that God was not pleased? Um, no; that just doesn't follow.

Romans 14:5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

Galatians 4:10-11 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [i]over you in vain.

Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

GOD's word attests to it by GOD's inspiring the use of the word Except or if you like the KJV "ONLY".

Solomon demonstrated his loyalty to the LORD by following the practices of his father David, EXCEPT that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.(1Ki 3:3 NET)

And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: ONLY he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
(1Ki 3:3 KJV)

Solomen thought that there was no issue with ascribing to the pagan practice of sacrificing in high places to our GOD. His intentions were pure. HE DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE AS PERTAINING TO HIS CONSCIENCE, but it is recorded as a short coming and there is no way around it.

And they did this due to prejudice. To Separate themselves from our Jewish roots.
It is not Funny that they picked the time that was used to celebrate a false god. What a smack to our LORD's face. The Passover and the Passover Lamb pointed to Christ and they tried to eliminate that.

If you mean by "the end of Passover week", the end of both Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, that is completely false. That would entail a full eight days in the tomb.

oh boy.

But not the same day this year. GOD is the one being smacked by our arrogance.
I am done. Do thine own will

Why do you continually assert things that simply aren't in Scripture? Probably because your whole point requires such evidence. That means you're basing your argument on your speculations, which is how doctrinal error usually begins.

Romans 14:5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

Galatians 4:10-11 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored [i]over you in vain.

Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
