34301 | Are Christmas and Easter pagan in origin | Gal 4:10 | peachy | 3562 | ||
My sister and I were discussing the origins of Christmas and Easter. Is there anyone who has the info regarding their pagan origins. Did the christian community really adopt the pagan celebrations and add Christ to it? I know that in Acts 12:4 King James translated Easter into the context of the Scripture. What does the original Greek say? Easter or Passover? Thanks for the help. I am really enjoying the Forum...Peachy | ||||||

34308 | Allowed to wish all a Happy Easter? | Acts 12:4 | charis | 3492 | ||
"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 KJV Greetings and blessings to all this blessed day of Easter in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! In Japan, it is already Monday. Here, Easter is translated 'Fukkatsu-sai' or 'Resurrection Celebration.' We had a wonderful Sunday. As a prophet spoke, "Though there is no need to honor special days, this day of resurrection is to remind you that every day is special in Christ the Risen Savior." In Jesus' name, charis |

34309 | Why punish the man of God? | 1 Kings | Joel | 3482 | ||
Read chapter 13 of Kings. Why was the man of God kill. He did disobey God's command, but the prophet told him he had heard from God, and it was ok for him (the man of God) to eat. Was it unfair for the man of God to be killed by a lion for being tricked into believing it was God's will for him to eat and thus eating? And why wasn't the 'prophet' punished for lying. | ||||||

34315 | Is the Shroud of Turin authentic? | John 20:7 | Makarios | 3464 | ||
Is the Shroud of Turin the burial cloth of Jesus Christ? Is it mentioned in John 20:5-7? The Shroud of Turin is a cloth that has an imprint of a man's face and body when viewed as a reverse negative photo. The cloth is believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus by some since it shows a man's wounds by scourging, blood running from the man's head, and a wound in the man's side. It resides in a Catholic Church in Turin, Italy and it is viewed for the public on certain occasions. It is the most studied artifact in the world's history. Its origins can be traced back to the Middle Ages, as far back as 1300. But from that point farther into history, things become vague. Many scholars believe that the shroud was also called the Mandilion, the same artifact that influenced Medieval artists to paint Christ with a beard and sterner face instead of as a 'perfect Roman'. There was a carbon dating test that was finished in 1992 but it placed the shroud's age around the year 1500. However, many scientists believe that the results of the carbon dating test are at best not trustworthy since evidence showed that the scientists violated certain scientific criteria. Also, the shroud was almost burned in 1100 in a fire, and this was also believed to thwart the carbon dating test. I believe that the Shroud of Turin is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus since no painter could have ever made the image that is present on the Shroud. What better way could God show evidence of the most miraculous moment in human history (The Resurrection of Jesus) than to leave an image for all of humankind to see? But it doesn't really matter if it is the actual cloth or not, my faith is not based on the shroud and I will still retain my solid faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. | ||||||
