I LOVE the Easter displays.....the represent Joy, Spring, life renewed, FUN...I present the choristers at our church a basket filled with expensive Easter chocolates just to see the smiles on the young (and older) choristers' faces.....Christianity is a religion of JOY...let the most important day in the Christian Calendar be JOYFUL!!!!
Passover = Blood Covering your sins, so death will pass you by..it is finished.. Resurrection (Easter) = Death has been defeated and left in the grave and New Life is possible in Jesus
thank you. Too many people get lost in the myths of pagan this and that, when it is not pagan. They pass along myths which have no archeological nor historical connections. The two holidays which Christianity focuses on Jesus are Christmas and Easter, when He came and why He came. The whole week is somber and reflecting of His love and sacrifice for everyone. Resurrection Sunday is a celebration of life, new eternal life Jesus gives.
@@rhhamlin08to celibrate His Murder burial and resurrection Sounds a bit off to me.... It makes me wanna cry out for him, Not celebrated it. I feel like it should be a Is somber day of prayer....
@@6969smurfy, Passover is a foreshadowing of the Crucifixion, Jesus is the Perfect (Passover) Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world…I will Glory in the Cross!
@@6969smurfy, there is definitely somberness when I read the crucifixion accounts…I’m humbled at what my Lord and Savior had to do to set me free from the punishment of death. But I will also celebrate what was down there..
@OneSparrow-76 yea, again, worshiping the cross seems wrong. I'll choose Him not the tree he was slain apon to Worship. You know all that imagery of icons and stuff we was Warned about in the old testamen.
@@mustaffa1611 I'm not sure why I would contemplate this video after reading Exodus 32. Exodus 32 confirms what this video is talking about. They intentionally worshiped the golden calf. They didn't worship it by accident. So what exactly is your point with Exodus 32?
The issue i see with Easter is the same i see with Christmas and Halloween. The way non Christians celebrate it is identical to the way Christians celebrate it. Therefore the church looks just like the world. Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits do so much more to show what MESSIAH actually did.
Amen to that. Solid point. There's a reason why Christians today look just like the world. Christians have forsaken God's holy days in favor of man-made holidays. Blaspheming God in the process
@@MB-vi8zp have you ever celebrated Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits? The Jews aren’t the only ones who do so. I highly recommend checking it out. If you’re looking for a non-TORAH Observant person to explain the spring feasts. Mike Winger has an excellent video on the subject.
@@honeysnowhomestead7223 agreed, it’s strange that people have tried to make it that way. Easter and Christmas have the same problem. Many people celebrate them and look no different than their non believing neighbors because they celebrate in an identical way. We can debate the historicity of pagan vs non pagan origins all day. The fact of the matter is the world celebrates a certain way and many people who claim Christianity, celebrate just like the world.
Thank you for the video Professor Solberg. I believe that the younger generation will not be prepared for such a time as this (when our saviour comes). If we allow these of pagan signs and mix it with the things of God we will also allow them to think that "other things" are okay. If we continue on this path our children and grandchildren will be lost to the world.
This is where we part ways on easter. It doesn’t matter how you justify what you believe. What are you teaching the children ? You have no power as to how they think of about it. And they will teach your grandchildren there by perpetuating the secular culture that is connected to it. We have drifted farther and farther from the Lord with the culture that goes along with this .
One thing that used is the idea that we should not worship God the way we want but he way He wants and has outlined. Like Saul is an example of this because he starting doing things including sacrifices himself instead of God’s anointed and in the manner God established. So with that in mind, we know God established the feasts but did He establish Easter and Christmas? Just starting to watch this video now but saw some of the comments and this has been a question that has been weighing on my mind- hoping to find answers here.
That's why worship is Holy. It brings Glory to God. I celebrate Easter, the Resurrection event, but my worship is Holy because it glorifies God and points to Jesus. No mixing here.
He rose on the day of the Wave Sheaf offering(Lev. 23:9-13, 1Cor. 15:20) or the 8th day on the morrow AFTER THE SABBATH or 7th day the firstborn of a new creation
In Old Testament Judaism, the first fruits was on the first of the week (Leviticus 23:10-11). But in New Testament Christianity, our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ is the first fruits (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). Amen.
According to the feast at Gods appointed time, by replacing Passover with Easter even Pentacost is incorrect and as well as ascension Thursday. We have made a mockery of The Word if God with all this " biblical gymnastics".
Why do you separate truth? Jesus didn't. He didn't start "christianity" man did. Jesus is our High Priest, The Passover Lamb, He put the LAW in our hearts, and tore down the veil. HE MADE ONE NEW MAN, NOT TWO. STOP IT!!!!
No i done célèbre Easter brother Christ résurrection IS every day for me Because of his résurrection i Wil not l died Be rule with Christ when hé Come back to rule thé World shalom brother
Blessed celebration of the resurrection of our ADONAI, YESHUA H'MACHIACH! Great commentary Rob and I'm humbled that you took on some of my theories. Good job brother!
I would love for you to do a teaching about how Easter/Resurrection Day always falls on First Fruits except for the years that Adar II has been added. The resurrection was shadowed in first fruits…. It would be cool for you to teach on this. That’s why they picked the date they did to celebrate. If you just celebrate Passover then you are celebrating the resurrection on a random day because it floats. If you look at First Fruits, some years it actually is the Sunday 3 days after Passover. Jesus came to fulfill first fruits just as he fulfilled Passover.
He will mix Truth/Scripture with theology lies. He does not keep nor observe the Feasts of the Lord, and teaches against the 7th Day Sabbath... However, I agree with EVERYTHING you said & observe all the Biblical Feasts of YHVH, according to Leviticus 23. They are His Feasts for us, His people/bride. Messiah fulfilled the spring feasts; Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavout/Pentecost, and when He returns, He will return of Feast of Trumpets, judge the earth on Day of Atonement, and reign on earth for the 1000-year reign of Messiah Feast of Tabernacles. HalleluYAH! Shavua Tov and Shalom
@@adel8632 I rebuke you and cast you away with your lies binding you to the depths of hell, get thee behind me satan in the name power and authority of Yeshua. Let the power and glory of YeHoVaH Elohim be displayed in His Mashiach.
I have a thought on the pagan roots of the cherubim. Seems to me that God may have allowed these symbols, not because He was just okay with it, but because those pagan symbols likely came from the images and story of the Garden of Eden. That is where the cherubim were first seen by man. Thoughts? BTW - You do a great job. You make these topics easy to understand. Thanks for your content. I am learning a lot from your channel.
That's an interesting idea, WC. I hadn't thought of that perspective before. It certainly seems possible that the concept of cherubim entered human awareness because they were known figures from the Garden (and possibly elsewhere). But I also believe that symbols inherit their meaning from the culture in which they're used, and pagan cultures would have seen these figures as representative of their gods and goddesses, not of Yahweh. Blessings, RLS
Ever since Rob said Easter derives from Esther I've been chewing on it. Purim is this weekend, which of course features Esther. But the tradition of mishloach manot isn't so different from filling an easter basket with sweet goodies. Eggs are hidden in bread at easter and on Purim. Purim is close to easter. I wonder if the traditions at Purim were incorporated and changed over time during easter celebration? Lambs are also featured at easter. Just my observations. There may be nothing at all to this but I find the similarities striking. And the claim that easter is pagan with a goddess cannot be traced earlier than the 1800's from Grimm. This tale has spread but nobody has a source that such a goddess was ever worshiped. It seems to have sprung from fairy tales. Then used as a weapon against celebrating Christ's resurrection.
@@mustaffa1611 Jesus rose from a carved-out stone cave/grave after being sadisticly tortured by Roman soldiers 3 days earlier. Hmm. NO. I see no correlation at all whatsoever.
@@mustaffa1611 Yeah, explain this correlation, please. In Exodus 32 they purposely made a golden calf that they intentionally worshiped. Christian Easter is intentionally focused on Jesus. Is that what your problem is? The focus on Jesus? It cannot be the Easter bunny or eggs because I don't see anyone worshipping them. The only worship is going to Jesus. Do you have a problem with Jesus? An honest answer to this question will help with understanding what correlation you see.
thank you for this video. Great to remember that "worship" is in the heart of the worshipper. There are many scoffers and "accusers of the brethren" out there. We need to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Let no man tell us how to worship, but be led by the truth of God's word and God's Spirit.
If i were to worship in spirit and truth wouldn’t I just do what God said? Worship is a lifestyle that honors God and God literally tells us how to honor him
I wonder if people who have issues with other holidays realize Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and Hanukkah is very similar to an older pagan holiday diwali to honor some goddess which is a festival of lights that lasts several days, time of prayer and triumph light over darkness/good over evil and gift giving ect.. It's almost like intent matters Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. And One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.
In my persona experience I found comparing something Biblical to something pagan or other is not a good idea as you have no idea which one came first and cannot therefore tell which one is right and which isn't.
A very informative video about Easter. Its still amazing how so many people still believe that Easter comes from Paganism. I recently watched a video from Tim O'Neill from History For Atheists website interviewing Dr Andrew Henry of Religion for Breakfast talking about Easter. It was very fascinating
It is clear that you agree with anything that Robert Solberg says like many of his followers but from what I see it appears that you still have not responded to the questions on his previous video.
@@kimartist You are using the word Robert Solberg recently used like, and I see that you praised him in his latest video. The name kim can refer to both male and female so if you are a female is best I stop this dialogue with you and no longer respond to you and you should keep silent. By the way, I am not a chauvinistic person just in case you throw that word, neither was the Apostle Paul a chauvinist when he made the statement that women should keep silent and there was a reason why he said that.
@@sundownsam What are you talking about Sam? If you are talking about our previous conversation, I already addressed them, if youtube didn't delete it. This video is talking about Easter. I mentioned secular people like Dr Andrew Henry of Religion for Breakfast youtube channel and Tim O'Neill from History For Atheists channel talking about Easter. They debunked alot of the talking point that the Easter is pagan crowd likes to throw around. It's alot as if the so called Hebrew roots proponents are not able to think critical and just repeat talking points like NPCs.
Bunnies and eggs have always represented spring to me. It wasn’t until someone said they were pagan ritual images that their image for me was tarnished. I don’t think it’s honoring God to tear down his creation…I think it sounds more like the scheme of the evil one to tarnish the beauty of the Resurrection…that did happen in Spring…
@@ContantContact, oh, but in the Midwest you see there entire population it would seem, on the roads early in the spring morning, frolicking about..you know spring is here when that starts happening.
@@OneSparrow-76 I am in the Midwest. Spring and summer are mating season. They are not exactly frolicking....unless you mean something else.... When you see one rabbit chasing another, itis not 'frolicking'.
lol... Had ur hands full trying to justify this one, Rob!! Passover from Egypt is a biblical pic of Christ bringing us from sin & Christ was crucified on Passover just as he was resurected on Feast of 1st Fruits. Paul said, "Let us kee the feast", talking about Passover!!
I would disagree that you have to be knowingly worshiping. The biggest deception satan pulls on people is that he doesn’t exist. So many people unknowingly worship Satan thinking it’s something else and is fine until they realize they have put that thing on a pedestal above God.
When one understands that the Jewish calendar is a false moon God worshiping calendar, AND that the biblical day truly begins at sun rise, one can see the deceptions. 1. Biblical Passover is the 14. For the Jews it moves on the day of the week due to false calendar. 2. On the biblical true calendar Passover is on Tuesday. 3. False Jews calendar has the feast of unleven bread starting at sunset after Passover ends and for them the 12 hour-ish gap is the "day of preparation". Hence why when the women followed to see where Christ was placed (before sunset) they returned and rested according to the Sabbath, BECAUSE for the true Biblical calendar the 1st day of unleven bread is a Sabbath and it started at sunrise after Passover. 3. Christ in the grave: Wed, Thur and Friday nights are 3 nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are 3 days. 4. Christ rose before the 1st day of the week. The word "morning" back then means the time from dark till dawn. So when the accounts say the "morning of the 1st day of the week" this means it was technically still biblical Saturday. And at that point the grave was empty. Though I highly agree, I learned this from RUclips channel "the God Culture". I highly recommend them. The Roman Catholic Church has twisted things to decieve us all. They are the continuation of the Synagogue of Satan that the Pharisees were. No the people, but the leaders and inner circle. Research research research. Open your eyes and learn. Yah Bless!
If Jesus died and was resurrected from the dead and it is celebrated tomorrow on Easter Sunday, why in the Bible does it record that Jesus died after the Passover which is next month on April 22 (Mar 14:1)? So should I follow religion or should I follow what is in Scripture? God gives instructions on how the Hebrew calendar works so we know every year when Passover is on Nissan 14.
There is a difference in calendars, not facts. "One person regards one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." Rom14
As believers we should all be aware what our Lord considers important and set-apart (Holy) from the world. ALL of God prophecies are on His calendar, and there are several future prophecies still to be fulfilled. NONE of them are referenced on the Roman Gregorian calendar. I don’t think God is convinced every day is alike.
Heidi, you have a reasonable question. Romans 14 in context is dealing with fasting on certain days and religious observances not necessarily related to what is in the Torah. If you’re interested in researching that further, do it. You don’t need any more of my opinion. It’s not important. Blessings ✝️🕎🙌
If Easter is all about Christ's resurrection, then why is it called Easter in English? Does the word Easter mean or relate to resurrection? Specifically the resurrection of Jesus? Why was it not always called Resurrection Day or something like that from the beginning?
It is supposed to be passover, feast of unleavened bread, and first fruits. But here's something that does not make sense. In the western world, easter is always on the first sunday after the new moon, and after the spring equinox. This was place in Nicea 325. The hebrew passover is always on the 14th day, after the new moon. Which this year, it occurs on April 22nd. So why both falls on separate date? Because of the hatred by the roomans towards the jewish people.
@@BrockJamesStory the Passover is always on 14 day of the first month… always. It’s biblical. But the Roman Catholic Church puts Easter on first, after the new moon, after the spring equinox. Also they put it like that, to be separate from the Jews. So.. something wrong with that picture

I was a drug dealing professional musician with a song on the radio and video on television. I ended up addicted insane and homeless. In 2014 God answered my cry. In 2018 God began to really work on me. I went to my fist Bible study at the SDA “church” I studied my way out the door. I experienced the very public very radical New Birth and my town saw this radical change. From opening the Bible in 2018 and devouring His living Word..to being a Chaplain today!!🤯😭🥳📖 I’ll share my perspective. I’m not a “usual case” as I’ve said my New Birth was radical and public. I spend a lot of time tasting the various “flavours” as in an ice cream shop. From my first experience in a SDA church to witnessing to JW’s Mormons..Muslims..Eastern Orthodox..Roman Catholics..Rabbinic Jews..NAR signs and wonder folks..Oneness Pentacostals. In my experience it seems most churches aren’t Biblically sound. God tells us broad is the way that leads to destruction..narrow is the path that leads to eternal life. I saw a post on Facebook and a local church was promoting Easter. Now to me we are to be separate from the world..a peculiar people set apart. Each day is the same to me personally..TODAY TODAY if you will hear HIS VOICE!!! The local church spends more time making the world comfortable..making itself more appealing..transforming itself into the worlds image..so that instead of sound hermeneutics..exegesis..eschatology we get “it’s Easter!!! Oh goodie!!!” Now is that a bad thing?! That’s between you and God. If we spent as much time defending the Bible and Jesus as we do defending Christmas Halloween and Easter where would we be? I love this channel it’s been a great blessing to me. I use it as a valuable tool in my tool box. Thank you Rob Solberg. Blessings to each of you!!!!
The amount of ads on your videos are starting to get kinda ridiculous. I like your content, but I hate having to keep stopping my housework to skip ads every 5 minutes.
I dont mind ads, I just think the amount is quite excessive. Just this one video I skipped at least 10, and I didn't even finish the video because it got annoying. I could understand like 3, fine. But no it's excessive at this point.
I hear you, CPMomma! Unfortunately RUclips doesn't give content creators much control over the ads that are played or how frequently. At some point, we may have the opportunity to get a channel sponsor that would allow us to go ad free on our videos, which would be nice. Best, RLS

Hi, Robert. I'm not quite following you. How does the English word "Easter" fit into the names you listed? Are you suggesting that Easter is also someone's name? Or that the modern celebration of Easter is related to the "veneration of the woman as the Eve and chalice? Thanks! Robert
@@TheBiblicalRoots As a born again believer, I love and appreciate your work in teaching the true gospel of grace through faith. You have a wonderful gift of discernment and teaching. In regard to your question, the latter answer. The list I presented to show that Easter is the English equivalent of the pagan worship of the woman, the mother. I'm sure you are aware of etymology, the subtle changes through language and culture, Oestre, Eastre, Easter. But, perhaps, you would be unable to accept this fact, given the tradition handed down through Christendom, rendering it unquestionable. The same applies to Christmas, another pagan festival incorporated into Christianity through Christendom, the entity which masquerades in the world as the church. Christendom is also responsible for the false notion of Sunday worship being a replacement Sabbath day rest. Christendom, before she lost her influence in the Western world, forced all of society by making it law, that there be no trading of Sunday, the holy day of rest. Before you misunderstand my point of saying this, I'm not arguing for a Saturday sabbath rest. For we know ALL the Law, from the smallest letter to the greatest, was fulfilled in Jesus. And, who has become the Sabbath Rest for the people of God. Rather, I'm saying the Roman whore, the progenitor of Christendom, falsely taught that the Sunday was an actual replacement day of rest for Saturday; that Sunday had become the new sabbath day rest. Which is totally false, since, again, we know the law was fulfilled in Jesus and therefore there is no specific day which is a sabbath rest. For everyday is our Sabbath rest in Christ/Messiah. I haven't got space or your time to present the damning case against Christendom being the woman, the whore Babylon. Babel/Babylon/Bavel was the haunt for every unclean spirit, the home of all the religions of the world and Christendom is one of them, which is why it is call mystery Babylon - the Preterist could not accept this view. Christendom, mystery Babylon, took into captivity, the church, just as Israel went into captivity within Babylon, taking its articles of worship. As with all type and shadow; first the natural, then the spiritual; first the shadow, then the substance. Christendom sought the power, wealth and dominion of this world through war and intrigue, to rule this world along with kings. This is something his church, the body of believers, were never mandated or sought to do. Cheers.

@@robertcain3426 Thanks for taking the time to explain that, Robert. I wholeheartedly agree that Sunday worship is not a biblical replacement for the Sabbath day rest. Sunday, rather, is set aside as the Lord's Day. I'm curious at your choice of terms. "Christendom," as I understand the word, is a broad reference to all of Christianity-every denomination and every person who claims faith in Jesus. So, your statement that "Christendom sought the power, wealth and dominion of this world through war and intrigue, to rule this world along with kings" is untenable, in my view. There are far too many counterexamples throughout history. If you were to replace "Christendom" with "The Roman Catholic Church," I could better track with you. But as it is, I'm unclear of the scope of corruption you're referring to. Robert
@@TheBiblicalRoots I don't know if I'm just taking your valuable time in discussing this but Luther, I think it was, credited the Catholic church as being the whore, Babylon, which took into exile, within its walls of institution, the true church of believers, in like manner to Israel's exile with Babylon of Nebuchaddnezzar. I share Luther's belief. However, it is also takes in her children, sharing her genetics and walking after her ways. What are those ways? This could fill a book. In regard to Christendom as opposed to Christianity; perhaps that is my attempt to differentiate between the two entities. You might not agree with my selection of terminology. Cheers
@@robertcain3426 Thanks! I was just trying to understand your terminology so that we're not talking past one another. Am I correct in understanding that your admonition of "Christendom" is more specifically directed at Catholicism, and not as much toward Protestantism or Christianity as a faith system? RLS
His argument is flawed. It's irrelevant what the meaning of the easter symbols is to a person. God commanded to not worship him the way the pagans worship their gods (Deut.12:4, 31, Jer.10:1-5). This is God's will clearly spelled out. If you worship him with pagan symbols, no matter your intent, then you are rebelling against God's. Jesus warned against such false worship (Matthew 7:21-23). Worshipping God in your own way and not in his way (God's holy days) will bring Jesus' rebuke. Prof. Solberg is treading ion dangerous ground (Matt.5:19). He is a modern day Elymas (Acts.13:6-12).
Isthar=Easter, hahaha you crack me up! Let's go with Pääsiäinen=Nisaba, Nunbarshegunu, Nee-sah-bah...ok, well I give up, somebody give this is a shot..? :)
The King James Bible is the only bible in Acts 12v4 that uses the word Easter which is a mistranslation. Word is Passover which is corrected in later versions. What were believers doing before Constantine and the Roman Catholic church got hold of the Faith. Jude 3, the Faith that was Once delivered to Saints. Be you ye Separate. Be set apart, pagan crap Easter-Istar.
The secular traditions have and can be realigned to it's Christian tradition. Things like the egg hunts where supposed to be a action to remember the disciples looking for Jesus's body. The eggs where to remember the trinity.

So, if worship is defined only by what we set our minds on and not by the traditions we actually keep, how do you reconcile that with Aaron telling the people that what they were celebrating with the golden calf was actually YHVH? Also, God repeatedly tells us to NOT mingle elements of other religions into His worship (syncretism). You seem to ignore that and cherry pick a specific incident of God giving a command "only for thr nation of Israel" and making it a universal application. that God instructed us to
You leave out quite a bit. The Israelites replaced God with the calf and bowed down to it. They worshipped and sacrificed to the calf and claimed the calf was the one to deliver them. They left God out entirely. I don't know any true follower of Christ who claims or believes that the easter bunny saved them from hell. Or healed them or delivered them in any way.
@@heather602 The account never mentions Israelites bowing to it. You are inserting your own beliefs into the text and trying to pass it off as a fact. The account says that the ppl played around it. The fact that they acknowledged the idol as God inherently made them guilty of idolatry. A person does not have to literally bow to something in order for it qualify as idol worship. Venerating it and paying homage to it makes it an idol.
@@heather602 In their minds, they were worshipping the same God that they believed delivered them out of Egypt ,,Aaron was clear in his words, it was YHVH represented as the golden calf. If you asked them, they would say they were not actually worshipping the calf. Exodus 32:4-5 [4]He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.” [5]When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to YHVH" Same deal with Nadab and Abihu, in their minds, they were worshipping YHVH, they just chose to do it according to what was right in their own eyes Leviticus 10:1 [1]Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before YHVH which he had not commanded them.
@@vernmiroth1626 The text says the people demanded that Aaron make them gods, specifically because they didn't know where Moses went. I don't know what was in their minds and neither do you. Nor can we ask them. Under the new covenant we have freedom to worship in spirit and in truth. We are told not to allow anyone to judge us. I can only speak for myself since this is an area of conscience, but when the enemy brought condemnation to me for celebrating Christmas it stole all my joy. When I sought the Lord I believe the Holy Spirit exhorted me to stand fast in my freedom. My joy instantly returned. However, Jesus definitely changed my heart about several things of Christmas. Before I was saved, the focus was primarily myself, the gifts I might receive, and secular things like getting drunk at parties. I also left Jesus out entirely and would get aggravated when I'd see things like "Jesus is the reason for the season!" Jesus has changed me over time to put others and Jesus at the center. My focus became more about giving than just getting. I started sending Jesus themed cards with scriptures to share the Good News. And since Jesus delivered me from alcoholism I no longer seek out those types of parties anymore. He also convicted me about the harm of santa and lying to children. Jesus is the true giver. All thanks to Jesus's work in me. He works all things for his good and our glory.
@@heather602 @heather602 We do know what was in their mind, they said it. It is written for us to learn from. Personal convictions are wonderful, I have some specific convictions as well, but I won't let my personal conviction influence how I interpret Scripture, the word of God says that they believed they were worshipping YHVH
Good question, Ryan! _Bikkurim_ (The Feast of Firstfruits) served as a reminder to the Israelites of God’s provision in the Promised Land. Ultimately, the Israelites were to acknowledge that God had rescued them from slavery in Egypt and provided them a place to live and grow crops (Deut. 26:1-11). And Paul does seem to link it to the Resurrection by referring to Jesus and His resurrection as “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). In the same way the first portion of the harvest anticipated the full harvest still to come, Christ's resurrection anticipated the full resurrection to come for all those who are in Christ. So, although the Bible does not command any particular date, I think it would make a lot of sense if Christians were to celebrate the Resurrection on Bikkurim (16 Nisan). Blessings, Rob
Can you just imagine a Passover that has a pagan version? No! Such does not exist. I wonder why. Seriously, how is it that Easter has two versions. Think about it. Something just does not add up. Maybe we are trying to force a Christian word (it isn't at all Jewish) on a pagan feast or a pagan word/event on a Christian event. I am thinking about it too and so should you.
It was the 3 days and nights in the grave issue that took my husband away from me and his family…2017…he never came back to us, and became legalistic to the point of driving everyone away and then he became abusive…the devil will try anything to capture your attention away from Jesus..
Jesus did say that he would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. But the whole word disagrees with Jesus and have made up their own doctrine. By saying that Jesus died Friday night and rose Sunday morning the world is calling Jesus a liar and saying that he did not spend 3 days and 3 nights in the grave, instead he spent 2 nights and 1 day in the grave. How can anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ disregard his word as truth but uphold mans word as truth. Lastly, I am sorry to hear about you and your husband. But Jesus came to divide, people in the same house would not be on the same page. We are to obey God, rather than man. And a big problem we have now is that there are many false prophets like Jesus said would be, that are on RUclips looking and sounding as if they are men of God but are not and are deceiving many. Open up the book and read, pray to God for understanding, pray that you are not being deceived because these are perilous times we are living in and just because someone sounds as if they know what they are talking about does not make it true. Think about it, on these channels no one ever says they are wrong or admit that what they said was not true, isn't that odd? That these people are never wrong about anything they present, yet they come across as perfect teacher. Take heed and beware and I pray that God reveals the truth to you and me as well and that we get this right and make it into the kingdom of heaven.
I find this story Disturbing., for if he went down this path he would of or should of found the family structures of Torah and would not have been abusive, infact thy opposite...

And Yes that world enclides the Harden Hearts taoght by Manned religions and Family's in a "out of alignment structure". This division in mentioned Manu times through thy scriptures. Again I say to you, IF he was cruel tto you, than thats.not the Family Structers of Torah As taught through our Messiah.
It is false teaching to say Easter and Christmas are okay to celebrate... We should not taint Yahwehs commands with our personal feelings. Both are pagan. Yahweh clearly was not for the Israelites worshipping a golden calf even though they "felt like" it was giving praise to Yahweh. The argument of heart condition and "what it means to us" completely falls flat and is not sensible theologically... That completely contradicts Yahweh, Christ, the prophets and the Apostles. None of them would celebrate such things that have pagan roots. Imagine saying these things to the Prophet Elijah... To the Apostle Paul... Man DOES NOT dictate what is right and wrong. Yahweh does. And Yahweh commands we have NO PART in ANY form of Pagan worship. These holidays are an abomintion to the Most High.
Can you please talk about fasting and lent, etc. Wanted some ideas on how to fast for easter and good friday but i can only find catholic practices. Should I fast 40 hours 40 days?
I've learned to view the resurrection sunday as a 'fulfillment' of sheaf offering (korban omer) what used to be on the first day in the end of the passover week. (day after sabbath, Leviticus 23:9).
I really like how you destroyed that begging of the question that belligerents employ by separating the cultural stuff that may be ok for christians to do from what we actually believe. Therefore easter could not have come from any of the pagan cultures since the ancillary things we may or may not do on the day have nothing to do with the real worship of the resurrection. Bravo.
What about the fact that Easter is a lie? The world celebrates Jesus dying on good Friday night and rose Sunday morning, which is an absolute fabrication. You cannot extract three days and three nights from Friday night to Sunday morning. So the world is deceived, following after the Roman Catholic Church. Servants of God should not celebrate lies, we are to worship in spirit and in truth and Easter is not the truth.
@@LionBehavior So "throw the baby out with the bath water" (according to you) because there is confusion with ancient calendars vs. modern, differences between ancient vs. modern understanding of the concepts "day" & "night," falsely conflate everyone who calls themself "Christian" with being "Catholic" (i.e. Roman Catholic), liberally sprinkle the word "lies" & ergo magically you are right that every modern person who celebrates the fact that Jesus rose from His grave is automatically apostate?
Matt 28:1 is curious. The words sabbath, toward and dawn seem to indicate this is still sabbath. End of sabbath has been translated by some as late on sabbath. Toward the first day of the week but hadn't arrived yet. And then this dawn word only used 2 times and in KJV translated in Lk 23:54 drew on. So could this verse actually be saying "Late on the sabbath as it drew on towards the first day of the week.... Just curious to me how translators translate. Scripture does say Christ died at 3 PM so a literal 3 days and 3 nights would be 3 PM sabbath afternoon. I know crazy but curious according to word definitions
That is exactly what I believe. The Greek word for first day of the week is Sabbaton. FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:9, John 20:1, Luke 24:1) means first regular Sabbath. Their word is Sabbaton = Sabbath. Strong’s Definitions Mark 16:9 G4521 (of the week) σάββατον sábbaton, sab'-bat-on; of Hebrew origin (H7676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:-sabbath (day), week. Isaiah 56:2-6 explains what GOD expects from Jews AND Gentiles during YESHUA'S Millenial reign. V6...“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, To attend to His service and to love the name of the LORD, To be His servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it, and holds firmly to My covenant; During Milleniel Temple will only be open on Sabbath. ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east shall be shut for the six working days; but it shall be opened on the Sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon. (Ezekiel 46:1)
YESHUA ROSE ON SABBATH Note #1: New day begins 6pm Note #2: According to Essene calendar, Passover is always on Wednesday. 1ST DAY ... DIED, IN THE GRAVE 3p Wed/Passover ... to 3p Thu/Unleavened ... 2ND DAY ... IN THE GRAVE 3p Thu/Unleavened to 3p Fri/First Fruits special Sabbath ... 3RD DAY (Mt 28:1, Jn 20:1) ... ROSE 3p Fri/First Fruits special Sabbath to 3p Sat/Sabbath AND day after First Fruits special Sabbath ... First day [of the week]... = Sabbaton = Sabbath Strong’s Definitions Mark 16:9 G4521 (of the week) σάββατον sábbaton, sab'-bat-on; of Hebrew origin (H7676); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications:-sabbath (day), week.
I believe Jesus likely rose just after or maybe at sunset of the sabbath day. But He appeared to his followers Sunday morning just before dawn. I also believe Jesus was likely crucified on a Wednesday. Buried after sunset (Unleavened Bread) and resurrected on Firstfruits. Which also was the first day of the counting of the omer. It seems Jesus appeared and ate with his disciples during the counting until just prior to the 50th day when the Holy Spirit was poured out.
First if He was in tomb for a full 72 hours then he would have raised on the 4th day and scripture says he rose on the 3rd day. Second issue Jesus died as the passover lamb. He rested in grave on sabbath then rose from the dead fufilling feast of firstfruits which is always on a Sunday. Its incredible that those in the torah movement insist he resurrected on sabbath because they make such a big deal about the feasts yet ignore the fact that Christ was fulfilling the feast of firstfruits by his resurrection on Sunday!. Very few torah folk celebrate the feast of firstfruits the one feast that foreshadowed his resurrection!
The focus of the Resurrection of Jesus should be three days and three nights after the Passover sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb of GOD. That is the point. 72 hours. After three days = 72 hours or more. On the third day = 48 to 72 hours. In three days = now to 72 hours. Three days and three nights = 72 hours. hours settles all the wordings.
We are not commanded to celebrate Easter, it is a commandment of man. Matthew 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men Christians are deceived believing and worshipping that Jesus died Friday night and rose Sunday morning. This is a false narrative of the real Jesus because Friday night to Sunday morning is a total of 2 nights and 1 day, and Jesus says out of his mouth that he will be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights. Matthew 12:39-40 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40. For as Jonas was three days three nights in the whales belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Brothers and sisters easter is a pagan holiday commanded by the Catholic Church which celebrates another Jesus that was in the grave 2 nights and 1 day. Do not be deceived, open up the Bible and read for yourselves, do not put your salvation in another mans hand. Like Paul says we have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Follow the Bible, not man. If you find yourself struggling to understand the Bible, pray to God for understanding.
I should add that those who claim to keep the Biblical feasts like Passover are doing so as a Tradition of man, because they don't and cant keep them as God Commanded. Think about it, Fake Hebrews are sending up Strange Fire
@@salpezzino7803 None of them claim to keep, nor even seem to know about the biblical restrictions in Exodus 12 to make sure every male is circumcised before participating in Passover. Ironic since most HRMs would be considered "foreigners" themselves & unqualified to participate at all.
Maybe it was on a prep day for a Passover Sabbath and not a preparation day (Friday) for a regular Saturday Sabbath. This could have been on a Wednesday, which still has Sunday as the Resurrection. The story is in the Bible. It just means the traditional time frame translation is off with Friday as the day He died. It does not mean it is a "false narrative of the real Jesus." It's like people arguing about the 25th of December or 6th of January. Don't get hung up on traditional dates from calendars. How many feast celebrating believers argue over various calendars too?
@@rhhamlin08 if God does not command it, I will not participate in it. I don't care if the whole world does, I will not. The Bible tells us that the whole world is deceived and drunk with false doctrine
Robert Solberg, I will be responding to this video, but can you answer the following questions, given that many of your followers avoid answering them? Where in the Scriptures did God declare Yeshua as God? Where in the Scriptures did Yeshua claim to be God? If God never declares Yeshua as God, and if Yeshua never claims to be God, why are they calling him God?
Hebrews 1:8 The father calls the son God. (Quoting Psalm 45 and relating it to Jesus) John 20:28 Thomas calls him Lord and God using the same language as Psalm 35. Malachi 3:1 says the Lord will come to HIS Temple the Temple belongs to God alone not man according to King David in 1 Chronicles 29:1. The Lord (in Malachi 3:1) will be preceded by a messenger also see Isaiah 40:3-6. Luke 1:67-80 says John the Baptizer is the messenger of God in relation to these passages and acts 19:4 says John was the messenger paving the way for the son. We are told in Haggai 2:6-9 The LORD Almighty will fill his house(the second temple) and this glory will be greater than the glory of the former house(first Temple). We see Jesus calling himself the first and last, the Alpha and Omega Revelation 1:17-18, Revelation 22:12-16 and presumably revelation 1:8. God is first and last 44:6, 48:12-13. There can't be 2 First and lasts unless they are legitimately united as one as claimed by Jesus in John 10:30. Jesus said "unless you believe that I AM HE you will die in your sins" (John 8:24) bringing to the mind Isaiah 41:4, Isaiah 43:10-13 also read Exodus 3:14, John 8:28 and John 8:58. God says in 43:11 apart from HIM there is no savior, Isaiah 63:9 reads "in all their distress he too was distressed and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy He redeemed them....." Titus 2:13 says Jesus is our God and Savior. 1John 4:14 says the father sent his son to be the savior of the world. Isaiah 9:6 is about Messiah calling him Mighty God (same word used in Isaiah 10:20-21) Zechariah 12:10 God says they will look on ME on him they pierced we see revelation 1:7 referring to this. God will not share his glory with anyone especially not a man or idol Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 48:11 then the son states Father glorify me with the same Glory I had with you BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN in John 17:5. Also in John 4:22-23 Jesus says we must honor him JUST AS we honor the father and whoever doesn't doesn't have the father. In revelation 5:9-14 we see the son (the lamb) being worshipped by every single created thing on earth and heaven and under the earth and the sea for all eternity. obviously we have John 1:1 that undoubtedly calls Jesus God and verse 14 says the word who is God became flesh and dwelt among us. This same chapter says He (the word, the son) created all things (v10) also Colossians 1:15 says he's the image of the invisible God and by him ALL THINGS were created visible and invisible. The scriptures are literally endless but this should get you started to a very interesting biblical study. God bless and happy study.
@@kimartist I will respond to you one last time. If you have a husband, the way you continue to name-call a man who you do not know, I am certain, is how you talk to your own husband. By the way, I am probably old enough to be your father. Get the picture? You have not yet responded to my questions. If you cannot, you will get more respect if you juzt say, I don't know the answer.
I think you need to spend a little more time reading your Bible, Sam. The answers to your questions are not hard to find! *Where in the Scriptures did God declare Yeshua as God?* "But of the Son he (God) says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.'" (Heb. 1:8) *Where in the Scriptures did Yeshua claim to be God?* Jesus claimed that He was Lord of the Sabbath with the authority over it (Mark 2:23-28). He took the divine name “I AM” for Himself (John 8:58, from Exodus 3:14). He said that the way to the Father is through Him (Matthew 11:27, John 14:1-7). He made Himself equal with God (John 5:18). Shalom, RLS
The date of Easter is determined from astronomical phenomena, using a system that was decided by the early Christian Church, after much wrangling. The problems arose from the fact that the Christians followed the Roman calendar, which is based on the solar year, but Easter is intimately connected with the Jewish festival of Passover (the Last Supper was in fact a Passover Seder)and the Jewish calendar is based in the lunar month. The Seder happens on the fourteenth night of the moon of Nisan, and can fall on any day of the week, but it so happened that in the year of the Crucifixion it fell just before a Sabbath, and while some early Christians followed the Jewish calendar and celebrated Easter on the fourteenth of Nisan whatever day it fell on, others felt that it should be celebrated on the nearest Sabbath (whichever day they were using as the Sabbath, which is another story). The former (Quartodecimans) were eventually declared heretical and the Council of Nicea in 325 standardised Easter Sunday as the first Sunday after the first fourteenth-of-the-moon after the vernal equinox. However even this did not immediately produce standard practice as there were differences of interpretation (e.g. over whether you count a fourteenth that falls exactly on the equinox, or wait for the next one) and different communities of Christians were reluctant to abandon their local traditions. In the British Isles, the Welsh and Irish churches stuck for a long time to their own tradition, which predated the English invasions, and this caused problems when the English kingdoms were evangelised both from Iona (Irish Easter) in the North and Canterbury (Roman Easter) in the south. Matters came to a head in Northumbria in the 660s, when the King was observing Easter at a different time from his Kentish wife, and after the Synod of Whitby in 664 the English kingdoms followed the Roman Easter, though the Celtic Chruch continued in their own tradition for somewhat longe
Could you address clarity on the Name of God. So much Confusion now. I just use Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit. What or who is Yahweh? Jehovah? More. Also what is the difference between Biblical Ancient Hebrew and Modern Hebrew? Did Jesus Christ speak Aramaic? What is Jesus Christ real name or do we have the right name? The online world is getting very confusing.
Hi, Dawn. "Yahweh" is an English way of pronouncing the Hebrew word YHWH, which refers to God. Some people pronounce it "Jehovah." It's one of the many names that the Bible uses for God. Biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew are the same language, use the same alphabet, and many of the same words. Biblical Hebrew is just a more ancient version of the language, so it uses slightly different grammar, spellings, and vocabulary. It's sort of like the difference between _Olde English_ and modern English. Consider the difference between these two English translations of 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 which were made 400 years apart: *King James Translation* from 1611: "O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged." *NIV Translation* from 2011: "We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. As a fair exchange-I speak as to my children-open wide your hearts also." Yes, Jesus is quoted speaking Aramaic in the Bible. He likely also spoke Hebrew and Greek. The name "Jesus" is the English version of Ἰησοῦς (Yaysous), which is the Greek name the NT authors called Him. His Hebrew name would have been יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua). The Bible refers to Jesus by many names: "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isa. 9:6), "Immanuel" (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23), "Son of David" (Matt. 9:27). Jesus consistently referred to Himself as "Son of Man." So the idea that we can *_only_* refer to Him using one particular name is just not biblical. Blessings, Rob
9:56 ⚠️ Exodus 32:4 “meaning… in eye of beholder ⚠️ “he received the gold from their hand & fashioned it with a graving tool & made a golden calf… they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 😳 they beheld the calves as YHVH & were dead wrong ☠️
Jesus did not celebrate Chanukah. The text does not tell us he was there celebrating, or to celebrate. Read it: John 10:22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Jesus was not there to celebrate, but to throw cold water over the whole thing. To the people who no doubt were there celebrating he said "ye are not of my sheep" And they proceeded to take him, with intent... You claim Easter is somewhat subjective, and can be good, as long as the person views it as good, culture changes, meanings change, symbols change... But God doesn't change. What God judged as repugnant, vile, disgusting, idolatry, spiritual adultery does not change. Connecting Jesus to all of that only makes it worse. God hates it, has always hated it, will always hate it. Paganism has always been a snare to "his people" He has given us countless warnings about this, We are all without excuse! Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. So God gave us a list of Feasts that we are to celebrate, and for what reason do you think it's any different from any other list given that we are not to add or take away from??? He did rebuke them "ye are not of my sheep" You are inserting assumptions into the text, because it doesn't say he wasn't celebrating, that means he was??? You wouldn't let me get away with that, what makes it ok for you? I guess bunnies and eggs came from nowhere? Nope it's all Babylonian sungod worship. One of the biggest false statements is that Ishtar/Semiramis/Isis/etc.etc.etc. they are all the same, 70 languages, same story from before the confusion of languages at the tower. Do a quick search, mountains of evidence, false, false, false statement! Ok then what's the etymology of Easter? The NOAD reports the following note, about the etymology of the word. Old English ēastre; of Germanic origin and related to German Ostern and east. According to Bede, the word is derived from Ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with spring. Scared chickens? If you simply obey his commands you don't need to worry about any of this. Exodus 20:4Thou shalt not make unto thee Exodus 25:8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. Do you see the difference, or do you want to maintain your schizophrenic God? Based on paganism, do you think Moses was a fraud? Do you think God didn't show him the "pattern" in heaven? Do you think cherubim are not real. Pagans made all this up? Don't you think Satan has seen the heavenly throne, he was the "covering cherub" before iniquity was found in him. Don't you think Satan and the fallen angels set out to subvert the human race, and accepted worship from them in the place of God? God took pagan elements??? God and his throne were around a lot longer than all the pagan religions combined times infinity! NO, God has all the glory already. Satan can use anything he wants to divert that glory away from God, corrupting Gods people. First Fruits was always, only on the first day of the week. The fact they had a council and made a determination only proves that they are now doing something different. First Fruits is the resurrection, Remember when Jesus said to Mary: John 20:17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. You need to study carefully the Feasts of the LORD. They are already all about Jesus. People just mess it all up. It proves corruption. Pentecost/Shavout is and always was/will be on a Sunday, and is/was/always will be a Sabbath.
Well if Hanukkah was wrong and evil then Jesus would not been there at that time. Or he would have rebuked the celebration like when he overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple.
I find the resistance of Easter and Xmas traditions followers EXTREMELY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING. The feasts are ABSOLUTELY BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!!! Christians couldn’t be bothered EVEN LEARNING the PROFOUND DEPTHS in BOTH THE OLD AND NEW COVENANTS AND FESTIVALS!!! There’s NO COMPARISON!!! The TEACHINGS ARE PHENOMENAL!!! They would rather deal with TRADITIONS OF MAN, TREES, GIFTS, FASHION, parties decorations and senseless social gatherings. NOT EVER READING OR ATTENDING YAHUSHA’s feasts OR CALLING HIM BY HIS REAL HEBREW NAME and acknowledging His ethnicity and culture and appearance, is very important. Easter and Xmas or Christmas ARE DECEPTIONS OF SATAN!!! And respect for HIS HISTORY AND HOLY DAYS get written off. No, NOTHING IS REQUIRED…….. But what PEARLS COULD YOU HOLD…….. We SUFFER from blindness desperately!!! That’s WHY WE NEED THEM !!!❤
I have a question. You say you can't inadvertently worship something, and you also indicate it's the intent of what you're doing that is what's important. I don't necessarily disagree, but how do elxlain Israel' worship of the Golden Calf. Their intent was to worship YAHAVAH . It was wrong, and it was called idolitry, but the Calf was clearly meant to represent or stand for YAHAVA.
Hi Grady. That's an interesting point. I'm not so sure the intention of the Israelites was to worship YHWH. Exodus 32 says, "When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us...And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”...And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves...They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” (Exod. 32:1, 4, 7-8) They intentionally made an image, worshiped it, and sacrificed to it. Best, Rob
Defending biblical roots of Christianity can you please do a video on the exodus project this is a Jewish RUclipsr, who believes he is helping those who have a deconstruct it from Christianity into finding the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and he loves to use Bible verses against us on how we claim that these verses are about the messiah Jesus Christ, but he uses them to argue that these are not talking about the messiah, but talking about something else, so I would basically like you to do some videos on his Isaiah, chapter 53 videos
Which calendar do you use to determine Easter? Gregrorian calender (Pope Gregory) or Julian calender ( Julius caesar)? My understanding is that it is not Easter yet until 4th, May 2024. Some western Christians celebrated it on 31st, March 2024. Jehovah Witnesses had their Memorial of Jesus one week earlier of 31/3/2024.
Why did Catholic Church need to create a holiday to celbrate His resurrection when we already had Feast of First Fruits (which is ordained and holy by Yahuah himself)? Just as the Pharasees made a mockery of Torah by adding all their leven, so to did the Catholic church by merging pagan traditions. Christ kept the feasts and Sabath, as did his apostles, as did the early church. There are many primary and secondary sources thats state. You basically argue "so what" if the pagan symbols are present on Easter, it isnt what we are celebrating, while ignoring scripture that says its an abomination to Yahuah to mix profane with holy things. Its like telling your wife you are going to celebrate your ex-wifes anniversary... celebrating His worst enemy. His people keep doing it over and over, and I'm sure there was someone like you carrying the same justification message, "its not a bad thing, its actually good."
Funny how you didn't mention the controversy between Polycarp and the Emperor of Rome. And also Constantine's reasoning for separating from Passover. It wasn't just due to having all Christians celebrating on the same day. At the core it was to not have anything in common with the Jews. His quotes are appalling. Dr Michael Brown disagrees with you. He thinks we should go back to the Hebrew calendar for the celebration of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus.
The question is whether we would stand before Him and celebrate with eggs and bunnies or celebrate solely His love act on our and the world's behalf to unite us to our Heavenly Father, our Creator, our God. It's not about 'us' but about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and honoring Him. When we look like the world, we will act like the world...it's much easier to go with the crowd than against it. Nothing about following Jesus Christ is easy when you're surrounded by darkness. Be ye separate...
12:15 So then "These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.” - Why are they wrong if they wanted to honor God? Wouldn't the Idol be a great way to "celebrate" God, their intention is not to celebrate other gods but YHWH? #makeitmakesense
1:13 - Actual dictionary definition. "Old English ēastre ; of Germanic origin and related to German Ostern and east; perhaps from Ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with spring."
"Given the determination with which Christians combated all forms of paganism (the belief in multiple deities), this appears a rather dubious presumption. There is now widespread consensus that the word derives from the Christian designation of Easter week as in albis, a Latin phrase that was understood as the plural of alba (“dawn”) and became eostarum in Old High German, the precursor of the modern German and English term. The Latin and Greek Pascha (“Passover”) provides the root for Pâques, the French word for Easter." ~ Brittanica
@@heididecker707 I'm well aware, thanks. I posted a Britannica entry; I didn't write it. You can't just state facts with these people; you have to cite some sort of "authority" (not that the "authorities" are always right, but you get where I'm going - if you can point them toward mainstream scholarship & away from their delusional false prophetic teachers it is a step in the right direction.)
Okay, but at 17:32, it talks about some folks say Jesus wasn't celebrating..... well, some folks would be arguing right, as the scripture shows below. The passage doesn't say he was celebrating. At 18:11, the video assumes he is not just hanging out with the people who are there celebrating. But that is exactly what he is doing. That is what Jesus did. He hung out in the temple and taught people from the multitude to the leaders. This is the passage where, when he said he and the father were one, they went to stone him. It was hardly a celebration. Or if he was celebrating by proclaiming that he and the fagher were one, then christians should be celebrating it as he did, and proclaiming Jesus and the father are one. It cannot be argued that Jesus was celebrating. That is just an assumption. Scripture doesn't back up that assumption. It can still be argued that extra celebrations are allowed. But the assumption that Jesus celebrated it only makes the argument weak because the claim is easily shown by scripture to be in doubt. I would also warn against using the fact that if adding celebrations were not allowed, why didn't Jesus condemn the celebration if he were in the temple, as support. Jesus did not condemn a lot of things. He never condemned the high priest for not observing the feast of atonement correctly as outlined in Leviticus 16. So that support is another thing to weaken the argument. It can also be put in doubt very easily. Those two assumptions are not needed to make a case for Easter. When discussing with people who believe Easter is not appropriate, those same people will more than likely accept that Purim and Hanukkah are acceptable celebrations, whether they observe them or not. If they do believe that Purim and Hanukkahare fine, then nothing is needed to defend Easter. Because the other two were created in celebration to their God for redeeming them from those who wish to destroy God's people. Easter is to celebrate the world's redemption by God redeeming his people through his son from those who wish to destroy God's people. Argument ended. Of course the ways that celebration can still be argued until the cows come home, and then some. But the scripture never says Jesus was their because he was celebrating the holiday. The video stops at verse 23, but I included verse 24 to show he actually was just hanging with the people who were there (whether or not any of the others were there for the celebration). John 10:22-24 KJV - And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
How can we honor God by doing things our way and/or tradition rather than celebrating the way He said we should. Celebrating Jesus resurrection Biblically is on the Feast of First Fruits not easter.
Like the way today's Fake Hebrews claim to keep the Biblical feasts. They cant keep them as God commanded, so their celebration becomes a Tradition of man and/or Idolatry
Nope Easter is not a replacement for Passover. Passover is not a celebration of the resurrection. Its two different holidays. Why do not torah folk celebrate his resurrection the greatest even in all history. Without the resurrection we would have no hope. We would still be dead in our sins. Once again Christ and his amazing work is put on the backburner in TO circles.
@@freedominchrist444 The irony in this sentiment never ceases to amaze me. On the one hand, the Messianic plan revealed in the annual cycle is dismissed, at the same time, those of us who do understand the relevance of Messiah to this cycle are accused of in fact rejecting Messiah
@@freedominchrist444it really saddens to me that you don't allow yourself to see the resurrection in Passover but nonetheless, my point was was the author affirms that the word for Easter in most every other language is a form of pesach, Passover
Pay attention to the distortion. Rob, I will not be addressing all the deceiving points you are making, but I will address your blasphemous statement that God, in sovereignty, designed the ark of the Covenant after Egyptian Palanquin. First, in your lack of understanding of who God is, if you had read the scriptures when God allowed Moses to view the heavenly tabernacles and all that was contained in the presences of God, where the Messiah would become the High Priest, you would have understood that God made sure that Moses would get it correct when designing the patterns for it on earth. So, the image that Moses received was not from Egypt, as you have been taught at your theologian school. Are you telling the believers that a foreign language came before the Hebrew language? Ask yourself this silly question: When was the first time you heard about Cherubim in scripture? Did foreigners use the word Cherubim first, or did God use it in the garden after Adam's sin? Boy, if I were you, I would get my money back from the school you attended.
Let me also add exactly what Robert Solberg is accusing God of which if plagiarism, then God copied a pasted. Men who lean on the Spirit of God to teach them scriptural truth are discombobulated on the statements that comes out of the mouth of Robert Solberg and they are starting to depict him as a false prophet who is bamboozling Gentile believers so that they can believe a lie. The sad part is that his followers would not dare to question him and that is because he is a theologian, and yes he is because to be a theologian all you have to do is take the Epistles and make doctrines out of them to mislead.
There is nothing to fear in human history, Luis. It all belongs to the sovereign, living God! There are many things in ancient texts and iconography that pre-date the Bible. The epic of Gilgamesh predates the Torah and it records a global flood event eerily similar to Noah. The Code of Hammurabi predates and closely resembles the ten commandments. Suzerain-vassal treaties in the ancient Near East predate and closely resemble the covenant God made with Israel at Sinai. And things like clean/unclean food, cherubim, altars, sacrifices, and, yes, even palanquin predate their counterparts in Scripture. Ignoring or denying these facts is not necessary. They don't threaten the sovereignty or holiness of God. RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots What I stated is a fact according to scripture, what you stated is blasphemous according to the writing of men. You put man's writing before God word. Don't try to evade the truth by quoting outside sources, Did God reveal to Moses what existed before man was created, yes or No? Was the Hebrew language established before the tower of babel? Yes or no? If you answer no, then everybody should question where and who is teaching this garbage. You are making God appear to copy and paste everything man established, as Sundown Sam stated in his post.
@@heather602 Right. Passover is apparently translated as Easter. So there would be no such thing as Easter Sunday. Because resurrection Sunday is the first Sunday AFTER easter. Is that how you see it?
Thank you for all the research and explanations you presented. I have a question - when and why did this celebration begin to be called 'Easter Sunday' by Christians?
The apostate church in Rome appropriated Easter from the pagans because it was convenient for ppl who were already worshiping the sun, and also because that church hated the Passover. It is not a coincidence that the Tammuz cults believed that Tammuz was resurrected on Easter and "Christianity" believes that Christ rose from the dead on Easter. Catholics took the story from the Tammuz cults to justify their rejection of observing Passover.
Most likely when it started getting celebrated by Germanic Christians. Remember, the word "Pascha" does not refer just to what we tend to think of as Passover. It also has to do with the 4th month. The fourth month in Germanic languages looks like Easter more than Pascha.
The pagan roots of Easter aren't a myth. The secular way of celebrating it isn't frivolous. Those things have significant meaning to the worship of Ishtar / Astarte /the goddess Oster
@@Nazarene_Judaism is Saturday Saturday? Or is Saturday the sabbath? It’s the same thing, it’s a word that represents another word. Easter is an English word that represents Passover. The problem is our culture has fake Easter and made it there own thing. That doesnt make it pagan or anything. Just like the rainbow, it stands for God not flooding the world, but that’s not what our culture thinks it means.
I LOVE the Easter displays.....the represent Joy, Spring, life renewed, FUN...I present the choristers at our church a basket filled with expensive Easter chocolates just to see the smiles on the young (and older) choristers' faces.....Christianity is a religion of JOY...let the most important day in the Christian Calendar be JOYFUL!!!!

Passover = Blood Covering your sins, so death will pass you by..it is finished..
Resurrection (Easter) = Death has been defeated and left in the grave and New Life is possible in Jesus
thank you. Too many people get lost in the myths of pagan this and that, when it is not pagan. They pass along myths which have no archeological nor historical connections. The two holidays which Christianity focuses on Jesus are Christmas and Easter, when He came and why He came. The whole week is somber and reflecting of His love and sacrifice for everyone. Resurrection Sunday is a celebration of life, new eternal life Jesus gives.

The issue i see with Easter is the same i see with Christmas and Halloween. The way non Christians celebrate it is identical to the way Christians celebrate it. Therefore the church looks just like the world. Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits do so much more to show what MESSIAH actually did.
Amen to that. Solid point. There's a reason why Christians today look just like the world. Christians have forsaken God's holy days in favor of man-made holidays. Blaspheming God in the process
The way people celebrate Passover and unleavened bread usually looks just like how the Jews do it, so what's the difference?

Halloween is not a Christian holiday
@@honeysnowhomestead7223 agreed, it’s strange that people have tried to make it that way. Easter and Christmas have the same problem. Many people celebrate them and look no different than their non believing neighbors because they celebrate in an identical way. We can debate the historicity of pagan vs non pagan origins all day. The fact of the matter is the world celebrates a certain way and many people who claim Christianity, celebrate just like the world.
Thank you for the video Professor Solberg. I believe that the younger generation will not be prepared for such a time as this (when our saviour comes). If we allow these of pagan signs and mix it with the things of God we will also allow them to think that "other things" are okay. If we continue on this path our children and grandchildren will be lost to the world.
This is where we part ways on easter. It doesn’t matter how you justify what you believe. What are you teaching the children ? You have no power as to how they think of about it. And they will teach your grandchildren there by perpetuating the secular culture that is connected to it. We have drifted farther and farther from the Lord with the culture that goes along with this .
One thing that used is the idea that we should not worship God the way we want but he way He wants and has outlined. Like Saul is an example of this because he starting doing things including sacrifices himself instead of God’s anointed and in the manner God established. So with that in mind, we know God established the feasts but did He establish Easter and Christmas? Just starting to watch this video now but saw some of the comments and this has been a question that has been weighing on my mind- hoping to find answers here.

Blessed celebration of the resurrection of our ADONAI, YESHUA H'MACHIACH!
Great commentary Rob and I'm humbled that you took on some of my theories. Good job brother!
Traditions of men make void the word of God. Let that sink in.
I would love for you to do a teaching about how Easter/Resurrection Day always falls on First Fruits except for the years that Adar II has been added. The resurrection was shadowed in first fruits…. It would be cool for you to teach on this. That’s why they picked the date they did to celebrate. If you just celebrate Passover then you are celebrating the resurrection on a random day because it floats. If you look at First Fruits, some years it actually is the Sunday 3 days after Passover. Jesus came to fulfill first fruits just as he fulfilled Passover.
He will mix Truth/Scripture with theology lies. He does not keep nor observe the Feasts of the Lord, and teaches against the 7th Day Sabbath... However, I agree with EVERYTHING you said & observe all the Biblical Feasts of YHVH, according to Leviticus 23. They are His Feasts for us, His people/bride. Messiah fulfilled the spring feasts; Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavout/Pentecost, and when He returns, He will return of Feast of Trumpets, judge the earth on Day of Atonement, and reign on earth for the 1000-year reign of Messiah Feast of Tabernacles. HalleluYAH! Shavua Tov and Shalom

I have a thought on the pagan roots of the cherubim. Seems to me that God may have allowed these symbols, not because He was just okay with it, but because those pagan symbols likely came from the images and story of the Garden of Eden. That is where the cherubim were first seen by man. Thoughts?
BTW - You do a great job. You make these topics easy to understand. Thanks for your content. I am learning a lot from your channel.
That's an interesting idea, WC. I hadn't thought of that perspective before. It certainly seems possible that the concept of cherubim entered human awareness because they were known figures from the Garden (and possibly elsewhere). But I also believe that symbols inherit their meaning from the culture in which they're used, and pagan cultures would have seen these figures as representative of their gods and goddesses, not of Yahweh.
Blessings,

Ever since Rob said Easter derives from Esther I've been chewing on it. Purim is this weekend, which of course features Esther. But the tradition of mishloach manot isn't so different from filling an easter basket with sweet goodies. Eggs are hidden in bread at easter and on Purim. Purim is close to easter. I wonder if the traditions at Purim were incorporated and changed over time during easter celebration? Lambs are also featured at easter. Just my observations. There may be nothing at all to this but I find the similarities striking.
And the claim that easter is pagan with a goddess cannot be traced earlier than the 1800's from Grimm. This tale has spread but nobody has a source that such a goddess was ever worshiped. It seems to have sprung from fairy tales. Then used as a weapon against celebrating Christ's resurrection.
Definitely sounds plausible!

15:30 fair point
thank you for this video. Great to remember that "worship" is in the heart of the worshipper. There are many scoffers and "accusers of the brethren" out there. We need to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Let no man tell us how to worship, but be led by the truth of God's word and God's Spirit.
If i were to worship in spirit and truth wouldn’t I just do what God said? Worship is a lifestyle that honors God and God literally tells us how to honor him
I wonder if people who have issues with other holidays realize Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and Hanukkah is very similar to an older pagan holiday diwali to honor some goddess which is a festival of lights that lasts several days, time of prayer and triumph light over darkness/good over evil and gift giving ect.. It's almost like intent matters
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
And
One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.
In my persona experience I found comparing something Biblical to something pagan or other is not a good idea as you have no idea which one came first and cannot therefore tell which one is right and which isn't.
Jesus told us in Luke 22 to remember Him when we celebrate Passover. You elevate the traditions of men over the commands of Jesus

lol... Had ur hands full trying to justify this one, Rob!! Passover from Egypt is a biblical pic of Christ bringing us from sin & Christ was crucified on Passover just as he was resurected on Feast of 1st Fruits. Paul said, "Let us kee the feast", talking about Passover!!
That is what communion is all about. "as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me"
As often as you do it, is the Passover every year. It's a feast.
I'm 2minutes in, I have to put this out there which may explain my stance - I view the Roman Catholic Church as pseudo-christian.
I would disagree that you have to be knowingly worshiping. The biggest deception satan pulls on people is that he doesn’t exist. So many people unknowingly worship Satan thinking it’s something else and is fine until they realize they have put that thing on a pedestal above God.
When one understands that the Jewish calendar is a false moon God worshiping calendar, AND that the biblical day truly begins at sun rise, one can see the deceptions.
1. Biblical Passover is the 14. For the Jews it moves on the day of the week due to false calendar.
2. On the biblical true calendar Passover is on Tuesday.
3. False Jews calendar has the feast of unleven bread starting at sunset after Passover ends and for them the 12 hour-ish gap is the "day of preparation". Hence why when the women followed to see where Christ was placed (before sunset) they returned and rested according to the Sabbath, BECAUSE for the true Biblical calendar the 1st day of unleven bread is a Sabbath and it started at sunrise after Passover.
3. Christ in the grave: Wed, Thur and Friday nights are 3 nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are 3 days.
4. Christ rose before the 1st day of the week. The word "morning" back then means the time from dark till dawn. So when the accounts say the "morning of the 1st day of the week" this means it was technically still biblical Saturday. And at that point the grave was empty.
Though I highly agree, I learned this from RUclips channel "the God Culture". I highly recommend them.
The Roman Catholic Church has twisted things to decieve us all. They are the continuation of the Synagogue of Satan that the Pharisees were. No the people, but the leaders and inner circle.
Research research research. Open your eyes and learn. Yah Bless!
If Jesus died and was resurrected from the dead and it is celebrated tomorrow on Easter Sunday, why in the Bible does it record that Jesus died after the Passover which is next month on April 22 (Mar 14:1)? So should I follow religion or should I follow what is in Scripture? God gives instructions on how the Hebrew calendar works so we know every year when Passover is on Nissan 14.
There is a difference in calendars, not facts. "One person regards one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." Rom14
As believers we should all be aware what our Lord considers important and set-apart (Holy) from the world. ALL of God prophecies are on His calendar, and there are several future prophecies still to be fulfilled. NONE of them are referenced on the Roman Gregorian calendar. I don’t think God is convinced every day is alike.
@@flyguymt If God doesn't think it, then why would he say it?
Heidi, you have a reasonable question. Romans 14 in context is dealing with fasting on certain days and religious observances not necessarily related to what is in the Torah. If you’re interested in researching that further, do it. You don’t need any more of my opinion. It’s not important. Blessings ✝️🕎🙌
If Easter is all about Christ's resurrection, then why is it called Easter in English? Does the word Easter mean or relate to resurrection? Specifically the resurrection of Jesus? Why was it not always called Resurrection Day or something like that from the beginning?
It is supposed to be passover, feast of unleavened bread, and first fruits. But here's something that does not make sense. In the western world, easter is always on the first sunday after the new moon, and after the spring equinox. This was place in Nicea 325. The hebrew passover is always on the 14th day, after the new moon. Which this year, it occurs on April 22nd. So why both falls on separate date? Because of the hatred by the roomans towards the jewish people.
Because Easter is the English word for Passover.

As a born again believer, I love and appreciate your work in teaching the true gospel of grace through faith. You have a wonderful gift of discernment and teaching.
In regard to your question, the latter answer. The list I presented to show that Easter is the English equivalent of the pagan worship of the woman, the mother. I'm sure you are aware of etymology, the subtle changes through language and culture, Oestre, Eastre, Easter. But, perhaps, you would be unable to accept this fact, given the tradition handed down through Christendom, rendering it unquestionable. The same applies to Christmas, another pagan festival incorporated into Christianity through Christendom, the entity which masquerades in the world as the church.
Christendom is also responsible for the false notion of Sunday worship being a replacement Sabbath day rest. Christendom, before she lost her influence in the Western world, forced all of society by making it law, that there be no trading of Sunday, the holy day of rest.
Before you misunderstand my point of saying this, I'm not arguing for a Saturday sabbath rest. For we know ALL the Law, from the smallest letter to the greatest, was fulfilled in Jesus. And, who has become the Sabbath Rest for the people of God. Rather, I'm saying the Roman whore, the progenitor of Christendom, falsely taught that the Sunday was an actual replacement day of rest for Saturday; that Sunday had become the new sabbath day rest. Which is totally false, since, again, we know the law was fulfilled in Jesus and therefore there is no specific day which is a sabbath rest. For everyday is our Sabbath rest in Christ/Messiah.
I haven't got space or your time to present the damning case against Christendom being the woman, the whore Babylon. Babel/Babylon/Bavel was the haunt for every unclean spirit, the home of all the religions of the world and Christendom is one of them, which is why it is call mystery Babylon - the Preterist could not accept this view.
Christendom, mystery Babylon, took into captivity, the church, just as Israel went into captivity within Babylon, taking its articles of worship. As with all type and shadow; first the natural, then the spiritual; first the shadow, then the substance.
Christendom sought the power, wealth and dominion of this world through war and intrigue, to rule this world along with kings. This is something his church, the body of believers, were never mandated or sought to do. Cheers.

@@robertcain3426 Thanks for taking the time to explain that, Robert. I wholeheartedly agree that Sunday worship is not a biblical replacement for the Sabbath day rest. Sunday, rather, is set aside as the Lord's Day.
I'm curious at your choice of terms. "Christendom," as I understand the word, is a broad reference to all of Christianity-every denomination and every person who claims faith in Jesus. So, your statement that "Christendom sought the power, wealth and dominion of this world through war and intrigue, to rule this world along with kings" is untenable, in my view. There are far too many counterexamples throughout history. If you were to replace "Christendom" with "The Roman Catholic Church," I could better track with you. But as it is, I'm unclear of the scope of corruption you're referring to.

I don't know if I'm just taking your valuable time in discussing this but Luther, I think it was, credited the Catholic church as being the whore, Babylon, which took into exile, within its walls of institution, the true church of believers, in like manner to Israel's exile with Babylon of Nebuchaddnezzar. I share Luther's belief. However, it is also takes in her children, sharing her genetics and walking after her ways. What are those ways? This could fill a book.
In regard to Christendom as opposed to Christianity; perhaps that is my attempt to differentiate between the two entities. You might not agree with my selection of terminology.

@@robertcain3426 Thanks! I was just trying to understand your terminology so that we're not talking past one another. Am I correct in understanding that your admonition of "Christendom" is more specifically directed at Catholicism, and not as much toward Protestantism or Christianity as a faith system?

His argument is flawed. It's irrelevant what the meaning of the easter symbols is to a person. God commanded to not worship him the way the pagans worship their gods (Deut.12:4, 31, Jer.10:1-5). This is God's will clearly spelled out. If you worship him with pagan symbols, no matter your intent, then you are rebelling against God's. Jesus warned against such false worship (Matthew 7:21-23). Worshipping God in your own way and not in his way (God's holy days) will bring Jesus' rebuke. Prof. Solberg is treading ion dangerous ground (Matt.5:19). He is a modern day Elymas (Acts.13:6-12).
Easter is just the English word for Passover.
Isthar=Easter, hahaha you crack me up! Let's go with Pääsiäinen=Nisaba, Nunbarshegunu, Nee-sah-bah...ok, well I give up, somebody give this is a shot..? :)
Pazuzu....ooo, that was ....not even close, phew!
The King James Bible is the only bible in Acts 12v4 that uses the word Easter which is a mistranslation. Word is Passover which is corrected in later versions. What were believers doing before Constantine and the Roman Catholic church got hold of the Faith. Jude 3, the Faith that was Once delivered to Saints. Be you ye Separate. Be set apart, pagan crap Easter-Istar.
The secular traditions have and can be realigned to it's Christian tradition. Things like the egg hunts where supposed to be a action to remember the disciples looking for Jesus's body. The eggs where to remember the trinity.
That’s like mimicking the world…
The thought of an Easter ham!

So, if worship is defined only by what we set our minds on and not by the traditions we actually keep, how do you reconcile that with Aaron telling the people that what they were celebrating with the golden calf was actually YHVH?
Also, God repeatedly tells us to NOT mingle elements of other religions into His worship (syncretism). You seem to ignore that and cherry pick a specific incident of God giving a command "only for thr nation of Israel" and making it a universal application.
that God instructed us to
You leave out quite a bit. The Israelites replaced God with the calf and bowed down to it. They worshipped and sacrificed to the calf and claimed the calf was the one to deliver them. They left God out entirely.
I don't know any true follower of Christ who claims or believes that the easter bunny saved them from hell. Or healed them or delivered them in any way.
@@heather602 The account never mentions Israelites bowing to it. You are inserting your own beliefs into the text and trying to pass it off as a fact. The account says that the ppl played around it. The fact that they acknowledged the idol as God inherently made them guilty of idolatry. A person does not have to literally bow to something in order for it qualify as idol worship. Venerating it and paying homage to it makes it an idol.
@@heather602
In their minds, they were worshipping the same God that they believed delivered them out of Egypt ,,Aaron was clear in his words, it was YHVH represented as the golden calf. If you asked them, they would say they were not actually worshipping the calf.
Exodus 32:4-5
[4]He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
[5]When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to YHVH"
Same deal with Nadab and Abihu, in their minds, they were worshipping YHVH, they just chose to do it according to what was right in their own eyes
Leviticus 10:1
[1]Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before YHVH which he had not commanded them.
@@vernmiroth1626 The text says the people demanded that Aaron make them gods, specifically because they didn't know where Moses went.
I don't know what was in their minds and neither do you. Nor can we ask them.
Under the new covenant we have freedom to worship in spirit and in truth. We are told not to allow anyone to judge us.
I can only speak for myself since this is an area of conscience, but when the enemy brought condemnation to me for celebrating Christmas it stole all my joy. When I sought the Lord I believe the Holy Spirit exhorted me to stand fast in my freedom. My joy instantly returned.
However, Jesus definitely changed my heart about several things of Christmas. Before I was saved, the focus was primarily myself, the gifts I might receive, and secular things like getting drunk at parties. I also left Jesus out entirely and would get aggravated when I'd see things like "Jesus is the reason for the season!"
Jesus has changed me over time to put others and Jesus at the center. My focus became more about giving than just getting. I started sending Jesus themed cards with scriptures to share the Good News. And since Jesus delivered me from alcoholism I no longer seek out those types of parties anymore. He also convicted me about the harm of santa and lying to children. Jesus is the true giver. All thanks to Jesus's work in me. He works all things for his good and our glory.
@@heather602
@heather602
We do know what was in their mind, they said it. It is written for us to learn from.
Personal convictions are wonderful, I have some specific convictions as well, but I won't let my personal conviction influence how I interpret Scripture, the word of God says that they believed they were worshipping YHVH
Why no mention of First Fruits?
Good question, Ryan! _Bikkurim_ (The Feast of Firstfruits) served as a reminder to the Israelites of God’s provision in the Promised Land. Ultimately, the Israelites were to acknowledge that God had rescued them from slavery in Egypt and provided them a place to live and grow crops (Deut. 26:1-11). And Paul does seem to link it to the Resurrection by referring to Jesus and His resurrection as “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). In the same way the first portion of the harvest anticipated the full harvest still to come, Christ's resurrection anticipated the full resurrection to come for all those who are in Christ.
So, although the Bible does not command any particular date, I think it would make a lot of sense if Christians were to celebrate the Resurrection on Bikkurim (16 Nisan).

Can you just imagine a Passover that has a pagan version? No! Such does not exist. I wonder why. Seriously, how is it that Easter has two versions. Think about it. Something just does not add up. Maybe we are trying to force a Christian word (it isn't at all Jewish) on a pagan feast or a pagan word/event on a Christian event. I am thinking about it too and so should you.
Easter is an English word for Passover. Its no different than how the cross has one meaning to a Christian and a whole other meaning to a roman.
It was the 3 days and nights in the grave issue that took my husband away from me and his family…2017…he never came back to us, and became legalistic to the point of driving everyone away and then he became abusive…the devil will try anything to capture your attention away from Jesus..
Jesus did say that he would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. But the whole word disagrees with Jesus and have made up their own doctrine. By saying that Jesus died Friday night and rose Sunday morning the world is calling Jesus a liar and saying that he did not spend 3 days and 3 nights in the grave, instead he spent 2 nights and 1 day in the grave. How can anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ disregard his word as truth but uphold mans word as truth.
Lastly, I am sorry to hear about you and your husband. But Jesus came to divide, people in the same house would not be on the same page.
We are to obey God, rather than man. And a big problem we have now is that there are many false prophets like Jesus said would be, that are on RUclips looking and sounding as if they are men of God but are not and are deceiving many.
Open up the book and read, pray to God for understanding, pray that you are not being deceived because these are perilous times we are living in and just because someone sounds as if they know what they are talking about does not make it true. Think about it, on these channels no one ever says they are wrong or admit that what they said was not true, isn't that odd? That these people are never wrong about anything they present, yet they come across as perfect teacher. Take heed and beware and I pray that God reveals the truth to you and me as well and that we get this right and make it into the kingdom of heaven.

Both are pagan. Yahweh clearly was not for the Israelites worshipping a golden calf even though they "felt like" it was giving praise to Yahweh.
The argument of heart condition and "what it means to us" completely falls flat and is not sensible theologically... That completely contradicts Yahweh, Christ, the prophets and the Apostles.
None of them would celebrate such things that have pagan roots. Imagine saying these things to the Prophet Elijah... To the Apostle Paul...
Man DOES NOT dictate what is right and wrong. Yahweh does. And Yahweh commands we have NO PART in ANY form of Pagan worship.
These holidays are an abomintion to the Most High.
Can you please talk about fasting and lent, etc. Wanted some ideas on how to fast for easter and good friday but i can only find catholic practices. Should I fast 40 hours 40 days?
I've learned to view the resurrection sunday as a 'fulfillment' of sheaf offering (korban omer) what used to be on the first day in the end of the passover week. (day after sabbath, Leviticus 23:9).
Easter is not in the Bible. Passover is when the Messiah Died and rose again.
I really like how you destroyed that begging of the question that belligerents employ by separating the cultural stuff that may be ok for christians to do from what we actually believe. Therefore easter could not have come from any of the pagan cultures since the ancillary things we may or may not do on the day have nothing to do with the real worship of the resurrection. Bravo.
What about the fact that Easter is a lie? The world celebrates Jesus dying on good Friday night and rose Sunday morning, which is an absolute fabrication. You cannot extract three days and three nights from Friday night to Sunday morning. So the world is deceived, following after the Roman Catholic Church. Servants of God should not celebrate lies, we are to worship in spirit and in truth and Easter is not the truth.
@@LionBehavior So "throw the baby out with the bath water" (according to you) because there is confusion with ancient calendars vs. modern, differences between ancient vs. modern understanding of the concepts "day" & "night," falsely conflate everyone who calls themself "Christian" with being "Catholic" (i.e. Roman Catholic), liberally sprinkle the word "lies" & ergo magically you are right that every modern person who celebrates the fact that Jesus rose from His grave is automatically apostate?

Matt 28:1 is curious. The words sabbath, toward and dawn seem to indicate this is still sabbath. End of sabbath has been translated by some as late on sabbath. Toward the first day of the week but hadn't arrived yet. And then this dawn word only used 2 times and in KJV translated in Lk 23:54 drew on. So could this verse actually be saying "Late on the sabbath as it drew on towards the first day of the week.... Just curious to me how translators translate.

That is exactly what I believe. The Greek word for first day of the week is Sabbaton.
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:9, John 20:1, Luke 24:1) means first regular Sabbath. Their word is Sabbaton = Sabbath.

I believe Jesus likely rose just after or maybe at sunset of the sabbath day. But He appeared to his followers Sunday morning just before dawn. I also believe Jesus was likely crucified on a Wednesday. Buried after sunset (Unleavened Bread) and resurrected on Firstfruits. Which also was the first day of the counting of the omer.
It seems Jesus appeared and ate with his disciples during the counting until just prior to the 50th day when the Holy Spirit was poured out.
First if He was in tomb for a full 72 hours then he would have raised on the 4th day and scripture says he rose on the 3rd day. Second issue Jesus died as the passover lamb. He rested in grave on sabbath then rose from the dead fufilling feast of firstfruits which is always on a Sunday. Its incredible that those in the torah movement insist he resurrected on sabbath because they make such a big deal about the feasts yet ignore the fact that Christ was fulfilling the feast of firstfruits by his resurrection on Sunday!. Very few torah folk celebrate the feast of firstfruits the one feast that foreshadowed his resurrection!
These symbols of angels on the ark , I think, like the arrangement of the tabernacle- was more of a decoration- for beauty.
The focus of the Resurrection of Jesus should be three days and three nights after the Passover sacrifice of Jesus the Lamb of GOD. That is the point. 72 hours. After three days = 72 hours or more. On the third day = 48 to 72 hours. In three days = now to 72 hours. Three days and three nights = 72 hours. hours settles all the wordings.
Except He was dead less than 40 hours.
Maybe we should refer to God's word instead of Webster's dictionary?
The Bible is the living Word of God! But it's the wrong resource if you're trying to understand the modern English definition of a word. ;-)

@@TheBiblicalRoots Was GODS WORD written in modern english. Is the word easter an English word? What’s it’s entomology?
We are not commanded to celebrate Easter, it is a commandment of man.
Matthew 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men
Christians are deceived believing and worshipping that Jesus died Friday night and rose Sunday morning. This is a false narrative of the real Jesus because Friday night to Sunday morning is a total of 2 nights and 1 day, and Jesus says out of his mouth that he will be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.
Matthew 12:39-40 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40. For as Jonas was three days three nights in the whales belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Brothers and sisters easter is a pagan holiday commanded by the Catholic Church which celebrates another Jesus that was in the grave 2 nights and 1 day. Do not be deceived, open up the Bible and read for yourselves, do not put your salvation in another mans hand. Like Paul says we have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Follow the Bible, not man. If you find yourself struggling to understand the Bible, pray to God for understanding.
I should add that those who claim to keep the Biblical feasts like Passover are doing so as a Tradition of man, because they don't and cant keep them as God Commanded. Think about it, Fake Hebrews are sending up Strange Fire
@@salpezzino7803 None of them claim to keep, nor even seem to know about the biblical restrictions in Exodus 12 to make sure every male is circumcised before participating in Passover. Ironic since most HRMs would be considered "foreigners" themselves & unqualified to participate at all.
Maybe it was on a prep day for a Passover Sabbath and not a preparation day (Friday) for a regular Saturday Sabbath. This could have been on a Wednesday, which still has Sunday as the Resurrection. The story is in the Bible. It just means the traditional time frame translation is off with Friday as the day He died. It does not mean it is a "false narrative of the real Jesus." It's like people arguing about the 25th of December or 6th of January. Don't get hung up on traditional dates from calendars. How many feast celebrating believers argue over various calendars too?

Hebrews 1:8
The father calls the son God. (Quoting Psalm 45 and relating it to Jesus) John 20:28 Thomas calls him Lord and God using the same language as Psalm 35.
Malachi 3:1 says the Lord will come to HIS Temple the Temple belongs to God alone not man according to King David in 1 Chronicles 29:1. The Lord (in Malachi 3:1) will be preceded by a messenger also see Isaiah 40:3-6. Luke 1:67-80 says John the Baptizer is the messenger of God in relation to these passages and acts 19:4 says John was the messenger paving the way for the son. We are told in Haggai 2:6-9 The LORD Almighty will fill his house(the second temple) and this glory will be greater than the glory of the former house(first Temple). We see Jesus calling himself the first and last, the Alpha and Omega Revelation 1:17-18, Revelation 22:12-16 and presumably revelation 1:8. God is first and last 44:6, 48:12-13. There can't be 2 First and lasts unless they are legitimately united as one as claimed by Jesus in John 10:30. Jesus said "unless you believe that I AM HE you will die in your sins" (John 8:24) bringing to the mind Isaiah 41:4, Isaiah 43:10-13 also read Exodus 3:14, John 8:28 and John 8:58. God says in 43:11 apart from HIM there is no savior, Isaiah 63:9 reads "in all their distress he too was distressed and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy He redeemed them....." Titus 2:13 says Jesus is our God and Savior. 1John 4:14 says the father sent his son to be the savior of the world. Isaiah 9:6 is about Messiah calling him Mighty God (same word used in Isaiah 10:20-21)
Zechariah 12:10 God says they will look on ME on him they pierced we see revelation 1:7 referring to this. God will not share his glory with anyone especially not a man or idol Isaiah 42:8, Isaiah 48:11 then the son states Father glorify me with the same Glory I had with you BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN in John 17:5. Also in John 4:22-23 Jesus says we must honor him JUST AS we honor the father and whoever doesn't doesn't have the father. In revelation 5:9-14 we see the son (the lamb) being worshipped by every single created thing on earth and heaven and under the earth and the sea for all eternity.
obviously we have John 1:1 that undoubtedly calls Jesus God and verse 14 says the word who is God became flesh and dwelt among us. This same chapter says He (the word, the son) created all things (v10) also Colossians 1:15 says he's the image of the invisible God and by him ALL THINGS were created visible and invisible.
The scriptures are literally endless but this should get you started to a very interesting biblical study.

"But of the Son he (God) says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.'" (Heb. 1:8)

Jesus claimed that He was Lord of the Sabbath with the authority over it (Mark 2:23-28). He took the divine name “I AM” for Himself (John 8:58, from Exodus 3:14). He said that the way to the Father is through Him (Matthew 11:27, John 14:1-7). He made Himself equal with God (John 5:18).
Shalom, RLS
The date of Easter is determined from astronomical phenomena, using a system that was decided by the early Christian Church, after much wrangling. The problems arose from the fact that the Christians followed the Roman calendar, which is based on the solar year, but Easter is intimately connected with the Jewish festival of Passover (the Last Supper was in fact a Passover Seder)and the Jewish calendar is based in the lunar month. The Seder happens on the fourteenth night of the moon of Nisan, and can fall on any day of the week, but it so happened that in the year of the Crucifixion it fell just before a Sabbath, and while some early Christians followed the Jewish calendar and celebrated Easter on the fourteenth of Nisan whatever day it fell on, others felt that it should be celebrated on the nearest Sabbath (whichever day they were using as the Sabbath, which is another story). The former (Quartodecimans) were eventually declared heretical and the Council of Nicea in 325 standardised Easter Sunday as the first Sunday after the first fourteenth-of-the-moon after the vernal equinox. However even this did not immediately produce standard practice as there were differences of interpretation (e.g. over whether you count a fourteenth that falls exactly on the equinox, or wait for the next one) and different communities of Christians were reluctant to abandon their local traditions. In the British Isles, the Welsh and Irish churches stuck for a long time to their own tradition, which predated the English invasions, and this caused problems when the English kingdoms were evangelised both from Iona (Irish Easter) in the North and Canterbury (Roman Easter) in the south. Matters came to a head in Northumbria in the 660s, when the King was observing Easter at a different time from his Kentish wife, and after the Synod of Whitby in 664 the English kingdoms followed the Roman Easter, though the Celtic Chruch continued in their own tradition for somewhat longe
Why you should not Easter
Could you address clarity on the Name of God. So much Confusion now. I just use Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit. What or who is Yahweh? Jehovah? More.
Also what is the difference between Biblical Ancient Hebrew and Modern Hebrew? Did Jesus Christ speak Aramaic? What is Jesus Christ real name or do we have the right name? The online world is getting very confusing.
Hi, Dawn. "Yahweh" is an English way of pronouncing the Hebrew word YHWH, which refers to God. Some people pronounce it "Jehovah." It's one of the many names that the Bible uses for God.
Biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew are the same language, use the same alphabet, and many of the same words. Biblical Hebrew is just a more ancient version of the language, so it uses slightly different grammar, spellings, and vocabulary. It's sort of like the difference between _Olde English_ and modern English. Consider the difference between these two English translations of 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 which were made 400 years apart:
*King James Translation* from 1611: "O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged."
*NIV Translation* from 2011: "We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. As a fair exchange-I speak as to my children-open wide your hearts also."
Yes, Jesus is quoted speaking Aramaic in the Bible. He likely also spoke Hebrew and Greek. The name "Jesus" is the English version of Ἰησοῦς (Yaysous), which is the Greek name the NT authors called Him. His Hebrew name would have been יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua). The Bible refers to Jesus by many names: "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isa. 9:6), "Immanuel" (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23), "Son of David" (Matt. 9:27). Jesus consistently referred to Himself as "Son of Man." So the idea that we can *_only_* refer to Him using one particular name is just not biblical.

we celebrate easter, Christ Resurection,, kids finding eggs and candy.. how silly..its a wonderful fun day and Holy Week
Thanks for Your thoughts. What do You think of the 3 words I brought up
9:56 ⚠️ Exodus 32:4 “meaning… in eye of beholder ⚠️ “he received the gold from their hand & fashioned it with a graving tool & made a golden calf… they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 😳 they beheld the calves as YHVH & were dead wrong ☠️
Ademas: the “average American” isn’t our standard
Why don’t you start with Purim customs of food?!
Jesus did not celebrate Chanukah. The text does not tell us he was there celebrating, or to celebrate. Read it:
John 10:22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Jesus was not there to celebrate, but to throw cold water over the whole thing. To the people who no doubt were there celebrating he said "ye are not of my sheep" And they proceeded to take him, with intent...
You claim Easter is somewhat subjective, and can be good, as long as the person views it as good, culture changes, meanings change, symbols change... But God doesn't change. What God judged as repugnant, vile, disgusting, idolatry, spiritual adultery does not change. Connecting Jesus to all of that only makes it worse.
God hates it, has always hated it, will always hate it. Paganism has always been a snare to "his people" He has given us countless warnings about this, We are all without excuse!
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
So God gave us a list of Feasts that we are to celebrate, and for what reason do you think it's any different from any other list given that we are not to add or take away from???
He did rebuke them "ye are not of my sheep" You are inserting assumptions into the text, because it doesn't say he wasn't celebrating, that means he was??? You wouldn't let me get away with that, what makes it ok for you?
I guess bunnies and eggs came from nowhere? Nope it's all Babylonian sungod worship. One of the biggest false statements is that Ishtar/Semiramis/Isis/etc.etc.etc. they are all the same, 70 languages, same story from before the confusion of languages at the tower.

Ok then what's the etymology of Easter? The NOAD reports the following note, about the etymology of the word.
Old English ēastre; of Germanic origin and related to German Ostern and east. According to Bede, the word is derived from Ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with spring.
Scared chickens? If you simply obey his commands you don't need to worry about any of this.
Exodus 20:4Thou shalt not make unto thee
Exodus 25:8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Do you see the difference, or do you want to maintain your schizophrenic God?
Based on paganism, do you think Moses was a fraud? Do you think God didn't show him the "pattern" in heaven?
Do you think cherubim are not real. Pagans made all this up? Don't you think Satan has seen the heavenly throne, he was the "covering cherub" before iniquity was found in him. Don't you think Satan and the fallen angels set out to subvert the human race, and accepted worship from them in the place of God?
God took pagan elements??? God and his throne were around a lot longer than all the pagan religions combined times infinity!
NO, God has all the glory already. Satan can use anything he wants to divert that glory away from God, corrupting Gods people.
First Fruits was always, only on the first day of the week. The fact they had a council and made a determination only proves that they are now doing something different.
First Fruits is the resurrection, Remember when Jesus said to Mary:
John 20:17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
You need to study carefully the Feasts of the LORD. They are already all about Jesus. People just mess it all up.
It proves corruption.
Pentecost/Shavout is and always was/will be on a Sunday, and is/was/always will be a Sabbath.
Why did you post 20,000 pages?
Well if Hanukkah was wrong and evil then Jesus would not been there at that time. Or he would have rebuked the celebration like when he overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple.
I find the resistance of Easter and Xmas traditions followers EXTREMELY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING.
The feasts are ABSOLUTELY BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!!! Christians couldn’t be bothered EVEN LEARNING the PROFOUND DEPTHS in BOTH THE OLD AND NEW COVENANTS AND FESTIVALS!!! There’s NO COMPARISON!!! The TEACHINGS ARE PHENOMENAL!!! They would rather deal with TRADITIONS OF MAN, TREES, GIFTS, FASHION, parties decorations and senseless social gatherings. NOT EVER READING OR ATTENDING YAHUSHA’s feasts OR CALLING HIM BY HIS REAL HEBREW NAME and acknowledging His ethnicity and culture and appearance, is very important. Easter and Xmas or Christmas ARE DECEPTIONS OF SATAN!!!
And respect for HIS HISTORY AND HOLY DAYS get written off.
No, NOTHING IS REQUIRED……..
But what PEARLS COULD YOU HOLD……..
We SUFFER from blindness desperately!!!
That’s WHY WE NEED THEM !!!❤
I have a question. You say you can't inadvertently worship something, and you also indicate it's the intent of what you're doing that is what's important. I don't necessarily disagree, but how do elxlain Israel' worship of the Golden Calf. Their intent was to worship YAHAVAH . It was wrong, and it was called idolitry, but the Calf was clearly meant to represent or stand for YAHAVA.
Hi Grady. That's an interesting point. I'm not so sure the intention of the Israelites was to worship YHWH. Exodus 32 says,
"When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us...And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”...And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves...They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” (Exod. 32:1, 4, 7-8)
They intentionally made an image, worshiped it, and sacrificed to it.
Best, Rob
Defending biblical roots of Christianity can you please do a video on the exodus project this is a Jewish RUclipsr, who believes he is helping those who have a deconstruct it from Christianity into finding the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and he loves to use Bible verses against us on how we claim that these verses are about the messiah Jesus Christ, but he uses them to argue that these are not talking about the messiah, but talking about something else, so I would basically like you to do some videos on his Isaiah, chapter 53 videos
Which calendar do you use to determine Easter? Gregrorian calender (Pope Gregory) or Julian calender ( Julius caesar)? My understanding is that it is not Easter yet until 4th, May 2024. Some western Christians celebrated it on 31st, March 2024. Jehovah Witnesses had their Memorial of Jesus one week earlier of 31/3/2024.
You make too much sense.
Why did Catholic Church need to create a holiday to celbrate His resurrection when we already had Feast of First Fruits (which is ordained and holy by Yahuah himself)? Just as the Pharasees made a mockery of Torah by adding all their leven, so to did the Catholic church by merging pagan traditions. Christ kept the feasts and Sabath, as did his apostles, as did the early church. There are many primary and secondary sources thats state. You basically argue "so what" if the pagan symbols are present on Easter, it isnt what we are celebrating, while ignoring scripture that says its an abomination to Yahuah to mix profane with holy things. Its like telling your wife you are going to celebrate your ex-wifes anniversary... celebrating His worst enemy. His people keep doing it over and over, and I'm sure there was someone like you carrying the same justification message, "its not a bad thing, its actually good."
Funny how you didn't mention the controversy between Polycarp and the Emperor of Rome. And also Constantine's reasoning for separating from Passover. It wasn't just due to having all Christians celebrating on the same day. At the core it was to not have anything in common with the Jews. His quotes are appalling. Dr Michael Brown disagrees with you. He thinks we should go back to the Hebrew calendar for the celebration of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus.
The question is whether we would stand before Him and celebrate with eggs and bunnies or celebrate solely His love act on our and the world's behalf to unite us to our Heavenly Father, our Creator, our God. It's not about 'us' but about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and honoring Him.
When we look like the world, we will act like the world...it's much easier to go with the crowd than against it. Nothing about following Jesus Christ is easy when you're surrounded by darkness.
Be ye separate...
How do we know Jesus died on friday ? Passover was on friday in 30ad and 33ad but not in32ad
Thos Video is the PERFACT definition of LEVIN.
12:15 So then "These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.” - Why are they wrong if they wanted to honor God? Wouldn't the Idol be a great way to "celebrate" God, their intention is not to celebrate other gods but YHWH? #makeitmakesense
1:13 - Actual dictionary definition. "Old English ēastre ; of Germanic origin and related to German Ostern and east; perhaps from Ēastre, the name of a goddess associated with spring."
"Given the determination with which Christians combated all forms of paganism (the belief in multiple deities), this appears a rather dubious presumption. There is now widespread consensus that the word derives from the Christian designation of Easter week as in albis, a Latin phrase that was understood as the plural of alba (“dawn”) and became eostarum in Old High German, the precursor of the modern German and English term. The Latin and Greek Pascha (“Passover”) provides the root for Pâques, the French word for Easter."
~ Brittanica
@@kimartist In German, it is also derived from the very word that means "resurrection", and English is a Germanic language.
@@heididecker707 I'm well aware, thanks. I posted a Britannica entry; I didn't write it. You can't just state facts with these people; you have to cite some sort of "authority" (not that the "authorities" are always right, but you get where I'm going - if you can point them toward mainstream scholarship & away from their delusional false prophetic teachers it is a step in the right direction.)
Okay, but at 17:32, it talks about some folks say Jesus wasn't celebrating..... well, some folks would be arguing right, as the scripture shows below. The passage doesn't say he was celebrating.
At 18:11, the video assumes he is not just hanging out with the people who are there celebrating. But that is exactly what he is doing. That is what Jesus did. He hung out in the temple and taught people from the multitude to the leaders. This is the passage where, when he said he and the father were one, they went to stone him. It was hardly a celebration.
Or if he was celebrating by proclaiming that he and the fagher were one, then christians should be celebrating it as he did, and proclaiming Jesus and the father are one.
It cannot be argued that Jesus was celebrating. That is just an assumption. Scripture doesn't back up that assumption. It can still be argued that extra celebrations are allowed. But the assumption that Jesus celebrated it only makes the argument weak because the claim is easily shown by scripture to be in doubt.
I would also warn against using the fact that if adding celebrations were not allowed, why didn't Jesus condemn the celebration if he were in the temple, as support. Jesus did not condemn a lot of things. He never condemned the high priest for not observing the feast of atonement correctly as outlined in Leviticus 16. So that support is another thing to weaken the argument. It can also be put in doubt very easily.
Those two assumptions are not needed to make a case for Easter. When discussing with people who believe Easter is not appropriate, those same people will more than likely accept that Purim and Hanukkah are acceptable celebrations, whether they observe them or not. If they do believe that Purim and Hanukkahare fine, then nothing is needed to defend Easter. Because the other two were created in celebration to their God for redeeming them from those who wish to destroy God's people. Easter is to celebrate the world's redemption by God redeeming his people through his son from those who wish to destroy God's people. Argument ended. Of course the ways that celebration can still be argued until the cows come home, and then some.
But the scripture never says Jesus was their because he was celebrating the holiday. The video stops at verse 23, but I included verse 24 to show he actually was just hanging with the people who were there (whether or not any of the others were there for the celebration).
John 10:22-24 KJV - And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
Are you saying it is ok to mix the Holy with the profane?
How can we honor God by doing things our way and/or tradition rather than celebrating the way He said we should. Celebrating Jesus resurrection Biblically is on the Feast of First Fruits not easter.
Making excuses for it😂
WHEN YOU LOOSE FOCUSE ON YEHOVAH THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE VANITY OF IDOLATRY IS INEVITABLE
Like the way today's Fake Hebrews claim to keep the Biblical feasts. They cant keep them as God commanded, so their celebration becomes a Tradition of man and/or Idolatry
A misinterpretation of the tetragrammaton. Also, no not really.
So, by your own words, easter is a replacement for pesach. That in most languages, the word for Easter is a form of פסח
You can't help yourself. Spreading Satan's gospel.
Nope Easter is not a replacement for Passover. Passover is not a celebration of the resurrection. Its two different holidays. Why do not torah folk celebrate his resurrection the greatest even in all history. Without the resurrection we would have no hope. We would still be dead in our sins. Once again Christ and his amazing work is put on the backburner in TO circles.
@@freedominchrist444
The irony in this sentiment never ceases to amaze me.
On the one hand, the Messianic plan revealed in the annual cycle is dismissed, at the same time, those of us who do understand the relevance of Messiah to this cycle are accused of in fact rejecting Messiah
@@vernmiroth1626 You just assume I am ignorant of the feasts. I am not as I spent 18 years in the torah movement.
@@freedominchrist444it really saddens to me that you don't allow yourself to see the resurrection in Passover but nonetheless, my point was was the author affirms that the word for Easter in most every other language is a form of pesach, Passover
Pay attention to the distortion. Rob, I will not be addressing all the deceiving points you are making, but I will address your blasphemous statement that God, in sovereignty, designed the ark of the Covenant after Egyptian Palanquin. First, in your lack of understanding of who God is, if you had read the scriptures when God allowed Moses to view the heavenly tabernacles and all that was contained in the presences of God, where the Messiah would become the High Priest, you would have understood that God made sure that Moses would get it correct when designing the patterns for it on earth. So, the image that Moses received was not from Egypt, as you have been taught at your theologian school. Are you telling the believers that a foreign language came before the Hebrew language? Ask yourself this silly question: When was the first time you heard about Cherubim in scripture? Did foreigners use the word Cherubim first, or did God use it in the garden after Adam's sin? Boy, if I were you, I would get my money back from the school you attended.
Let me also add exactly what Robert Solberg is accusing God of which if plagiarism, then God copied a pasted.
Men who lean on the Spirit of God to teach them scriptural truth are discombobulated on the statements that comes out of the mouth of Robert Solberg and they are starting to depict him as a false prophet who is bamboozling Gentile believers so that they can believe a lie.
The sad part is that his followers would not dare to question him and that is because he is a theologian, and yes he is because to be a theologian all you have to do is take the Epistles and make doctrines out of them to mislead.
There is nothing to fear in human history, Luis. It all belongs to the sovereign, living God! There are many things in ancient texts and iconography that pre-date the Bible. The epic of Gilgamesh predates the Torah and it records a global flood event eerily similar to Noah. The Code of Hammurabi predates and closely resembles the ten commandments. Suzerain-vassal treaties in the ancient Near East predate and closely resemble the covenant God made with Israel at Sinai. And things like clean/unclean food, cherubim, altars, sacrifices, and, yes, even palanquin predate their counterparts in Scripture. Ignoring or denying these facts is not necessary. They don't threaten the sovereignty or holiness of God.

@TheBiblicalRoots What I stated is a fact according to scripture, what you stated is blasphemous according to the writing of men. You put man's writing before God word. Don't try to evade the truth by quoting outside sources, Did God reveal to Moses what existed before man was created, yes or No? Was the Hebrew language established before the tower of babel? Yes or no? If you answer no, then everybody should question where and who is teaching this garbage. You are making God appear to copy and paste everything man established, as Sundown Sam stated in his post.
@@luiscajigas5567it not hard to see this rob guy is a total phony.
You make a lot of good points but;
If Passover is translated as Easter, then let us celebrate Passover.
Jesus crucified, three days in the tomb, resurrected to new glorified body, appearing to disciples with new instructions is in the Passover?
Hi Randy. Celebrate Passover if you'd like! That's beautiful. But it has nothing to do with a resurrection.
Shalom Rob
@@randylundgren8421He was resurrected on Firstfruits which is always the first sunday after Passover begins.
Point proven! Well said from your own mouth - easter has nothing to do with pass over.
@@heather602 Right. Passover is apparently translated as Easter. So there would be no such thing as Easter Sunday. Because resurrection Sunday is the first Sunday AFTER easter. Is that how you see it?
Your pictures showed cross-shaped chocolates, so that's actually TWO things about Jesus.
Thank you for all the research and explanations you presented. I have a question - when and why did this celebration begin to be called 'Easter Sunday' by Christians?
The apostate church in Rome appropriated Easter from the pagans because it was convenient for ppl who were already worshiping the sun, and also because that church hated the Passover. It is not a coincidence that the Tammuz cults believed that Tammuz was resurrected on Easter and "Christianity" believes that Christ rose from the dead on Easter. Catholics took the story from the Tammuz cults to justify their rejection of observing Passover.
research for yourself and you'll easily find out this guy is lying to you.
Most likely when it started getting celebrated by Germanic Christians. Remember, the word "Pascha" does not refer just to what we tend to think of as Passover. It also has to do with the 4th month. The fourth month in Germanic languages looks like Easter more than Pascha.
The pagan roots of Easter aren't a myth. The secular way of celebrating it isn't frivolous. Those things have significant meaning to the worship of Ishtar / Astarte /the goddess Oster
Focus on Yahweh and what's in his Word! I think that's best!
its a Gentile holiday.
Its passover..
@@BrockJamesStory ?????
@@Nazarene_Judaism Easter is Passover
@@BrockJamesStory No it's not. Easter is Easter. and I believe its pagan from the goddess.
@@Nazarene_Judaism is Saturday Saturday? Or is Saturday the sabbath? It’s the same thing, it’s a word that represents another word.
Easter is an English word that represents Passover.
The problem is our culture has fake Easter and made it there own thing. That doesnt make it pagan or anything. Just like the rainbow, it stands for God not flooding the world, but that’s not what our culture thinks it means.
