1 | Resurrection or Easter sunday? | 1 Cor 15:32 | justme | 240215 | ||
Why do we say Easter, rather than Resurrection Sunday or someting like this? I am concerned that easter is so connected with candy and colored eggs, and baskets with goodies that the real meaning is all but lost in the world outside the church. I believe in our culture today most people have disconnected themselves from the Holy Day of Jesus Christ being alive as proof of His divinity. Anyone else finding this hard to deal with in the church they serve. I find this can be a real issue to not hand out "easter baskets either durring the service or afterwards. I am not a pastor, but in the church we were going to the pastor made a big issue of handing out baskets durring the serivce. Justme |

2 | Resurrection or Easter sunday? | 1 Cor 15:32 | DocTrinsograce | 240216 | ||
Hi, justme... I think that some of the greatest error arises because church attendees do not know (1) what the gospel is; (2) what the church is for; and (3) what a Christian looks like. If there is any lack of clarity concerning any of those things, then everything else will be way off beam. The Great Commission doesn't make one iota of sense outside of these biblically defined doctrines. If the focus of the church is not on Christ raised, we are of all men most miserable (1 Corinthians 15:19). We might as well get in line for a basket (cf 1 Corinthians 15:32). Have a blessed Resurrection Day, sir. In Him, Doc |

Doc: Do you know when or how it started calling Resurrection Sunday easter? Also we are exactally on the same page, it really hurts me, so how much more is the heart of the Holy father who sent His Son to carry my sins to the cross. Oh my what love I shall never understand how an unworthy person like me should be so loved. justme |

Greetings, One explanation that I read once on why they call it Easter is because it was not only during Passover week, but also near a pagan holiday that paid honor to the ancient Babylonian goddess of sensuality Ishtar. Easter is apparently supposed to be a variant spelling of the name Ishtar. How true that explanation is, I don't know, but it is one that I've read in the past. Jalek |
