---------Easter time again!---------

John the Baptist

Celebrate this?
Most guys all believe that the ten Commandments are O.T. stuff, until you come to the law that are from the pen of Moses. Then you are in a bind! Notice Deut. 31:9-11 then on up to verse 24-26 "And Moses wrote this law..." "Take this book of the law, and put it in [the side] of the Ark.." (not inside) What was, & is inside the Ark dear friend?

There was nothing in the Ark save the two tables of stone! 1Ki.8:9

The law of Moses are these seen in 2Chron. 8:13. "Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandments of Moses, on the Sabbaths, ('s') and on the new moons and on the [solemn feasts], three times in the year, even in the feast of [unleavened bread], and in the feast of the tabernacles."

You say that all law is nailed to the cross & then tell us that we need to keep a Easter instead, because of a resurrection? Lets check Acts 12:1-5?

Notice verse one. Herod the king was to vex the church. Which church was Peter a member of? Israel of old, or Christ' new offshoot? Verse 5 tells us Peter was looked up by his former friends request?

Notice who were KEEPING the.. 'days of unleavened bread' (v.3) Now called Easter for the first & only time. It [WAS NOT PETER keeping this day, he was in jail!]
"And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison,...[intending after Easter] to bring him forth [to the people.]" v. 4 And remember that in verse 1-3 the church was vexed & James was killed, ...it pleased
the Jews who were keeping this [feast day] you call Easter!

Whose side are you folk on friend? You still want to destroy the Royal Law that are still inside the Ark in heaven try Rev. 11:19 & Rev. 22:8-9.

Two separate laws. One used to lead us to Christ, then the other one. The very LETTER or 'Epistle' of His Character to be re/created into the heart, This is the one 's'atan wants to 'void' out! 2Cor. 3:3 & try Rom. 3:13

Christ' death did away with the law that Moses wrote, the one that you all now, want to keep! And Paul talks about a 'new gospel' in Gal.1:6-9..
'another gospel...which [is not] another...there be some that trouble you and [pervert] the gospel of Christ...accursed...If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, [let him be accursed.]"

"I am afraid of you...Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years."! (all plural) You have repeated the exact same history as God requireth, only you are on the wrong side of the Everlasting Gospel!! Read all of Gal. 4:4-11. And in verse 19 of chapter 3 of Gal. it stated when Moses law would cease. And why it was added. Its service was used in the Sanctuary service to bring souls to Christ.

Can you be sure?
In Acts 15:1-24 you can be sure. "And certain men....taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the [manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."]
Was that all? No. Hardly! verse two tells us that Paul & Barnabus went up to Jerusalem unto thr elders and the apostles about this problem. But notice after they got there in verse 4. (this below is what you are doing also)
"But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was (NO.1) needful to circumcise them , and (NO.2) to command them to [keep the law of Moses.]" verse 5. This is exactly what the Catholic church & ALL her Harlot Daughters are doing! (and you also!)

A mistake? check verse 24!! "Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, [subverting your souls,] (notice, Twice Again) saying, Ye must be circumcised, [and] keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:.."

Just some closing thoughts? Who will hear us? try 1Jn. 4:6 If a person will not look it up?.. the thought then comes to mind, that their thoughts will very soon, come to a halt.
The closing thoughts take us to the time of what your perverted gospel, calls the resurrection????

The offshoot denomination are all still keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath
commandment! It started at Fri. sundown & closed when?? Think!

SATURDAY AT SUNDOWN!! After Saturday sunset, the spices that had been all prepared beforehand, found the women [waiting for daylight?] You got to be off your Spiritual Rocker!! It is hard for a non/Christian to understand what anyone who loves their master would do, it seems? Well, 'i' will tell you what they did! (while the men were all in hiding for fear, fear from the 'keepers' of Moses law)

The women are recorded to proceed.."..as it [began to dawn] toward the first day of the week.." when was this? Verse 2-6 & v. 6 says, "He is not here: for he is risen.." It is a fact that Christ was gone already! 'Easter'
sunrise? Hardly!! They were keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath! THEY WERE NOW DOING A WORK THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO BEFORE!! But again, when did they start this work sorrow?

Christ was gone well before daylight. Lets check another? But lets use the Apostates favorite, you never hear of these other passages in April, at least not in full context. "And when the Sabbath was past...And very early in the morning...they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Even this does not say
when the Master arose!

Another from Luke 24 in part. "Very early in the morning, they came ..
bringing spices which they had prepared..And they found the stone rolled away..And found not the body of the Lord Jesus." Again, the Evening & the Morning made the day, night first, and the light part last! What time was it? It is a Gospel Truth that Christ was already arisen BEFORE OUR Sunday HAD ANY SUNSHINE!

It seems that John who lived the longest, and who wrote the Rev. would
be able to give us a good report? He was inspired to pen his words in chapter 20 giving us the total thoughts of the Godhead from both angles.
He tells us about the women coming to the tomb & where the men were? And why they were in hiding. And also about the time of day it really was, as found in verses 1 & 19. In part it says,

"The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, (notice the word EARLY again) when it was [yet dark,] unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre." When it was yet dark & Christ was gone already!!!

Remember that Jn. wrote Rev. near 96 A.D. 27 yrs after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. He could have 'tidied' any previous understanding up, if it had been needed.

Read on, for there was quite a commotion! We will continue on in verse 11. Mary is broken up & crying, and remember it is 'yet dark'
"and when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and she saw Jesus
standing, and [knew not] that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Again why did she not recognize him before? It was dark & she was weeping! (these were real tears friend!!)

Notice another point. Think about the thief on the cross which some say went straight into paradise that same day that he died? Remember that Jesus was in the grave nearly three day before his resurrection. In verse 17 He tells us that, "..Touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my Father.." Yet what day does the Gospel tell us that this was? Notice verse 19,

"Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, where the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews.." And some of the professed call this a worship service. But again verse one call this.. "while it was yet dark"! Here it is the same day, AND the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK! Go slowly..it is dark, night & Sunday. (Or Saturday Night as we know it.) Do you remember that the Sabbath was past at SUNSET? And in Gen. 1, the dark part comes first? The Gospel says that the 'evening and the morning were the first day.' try Gen. 1:5 & 8 & 13 & 19 & 23 & Gen. 2:2-3 man was created and the Sabbath given.

Is your message something new? Hardly!
"And he (satan-great *One Who Practices the World's Oldest Profession*) shall speak great words against the most High....and think to change times and laws.." Dan. 7:25

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that were against us..took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.."

You do [your] thing, (try Eph. 6:12) but re/read the Gospel, stating that, 's'atan will.."think to change times and laws." The 'Remnant' will have NO part with that! Then see Eze. 9! Yes, there was the SDA R&H
reporting to have a Easter Sunrise service a short time ago, a hundred of them??
But God asks, "What is new? Nothing new under the sun." They tell us! Try Eccl. 1:9-10 & Eccl.3:15

In the Masters service for the quick ending of His work,
Pastor N.B.

we don't keep easter anyway. we celebrate a resurrection-- the resurrection of Christ, who conquered death for us-- and most of us celebrate it everyday.

Easter time again!---------What's wrong with that? Christians will celebrate
Christ defeating death, when He rose from the grave. But as Sheila said we celebrate that every day.

Zathrus, I heard this said & I pretty much believe it. You may not!
But here goes: >The law is perfect!< But man is not! There was no way that man could keep the law. The law will not save you. It is only the accepting of Jesus Christ & the shedding of His blood on the cross that we are saved.
It was only Jesus sacrifice on the cross that saved even the saints of old.
He releasd them from their imprisonment in Hades.They are now in Paradise. That is my take on the subject. Smile

God Bless You, & Sheila,

Count me in! I celebrate Christ's death and resurrection, and am thankful for God's gift of eternal life, every day. Mr. Green

Hi John,
I'll try to answer some of your post I don't have much time.
Here goes.

I just wonder at those who so adamantly insist on keeping a sabbath on saturday - because it is the law - but surely have sin in thier lives. Do they feel that praying on saturday will make God look past the other sin?

There are 10 commandments, a whole book of laws, and yet they tout one commandment as if it is the be all and end all of salvation. does not self-deceipt count as a lie as well?
