Quote (Jodi Lee @ April 03 2010,09:58) The passover lamb was to be killed the morning of Nissan 14th, and that night the lamb was to be eaten. Jesus and his disciples did just that, and that night Jesus was betrayed. The next day the 15th Jesus was crucified and we are told that the next day was the Sabbath, so Jesus died on a Friday. We are clearly told that Jesus rose on the first day of the week, Sunday. This would make the day Jesus was resurrected Nissan 17th.
Please correct me if I have the above wrong.
If people are going to annually celebrate Christ's resurrection, even though we are not told to do so in scripture, why don't they do it on the right day, Nissan 17th?…. Because they do what the RCC tells them to do?…. Because it's more convenient for them to do it on a weekend?
Although a great deal of work needs to be done in order clarify the events leading up to and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are not under any obligation according to scripture to celebrate any particular day, unless of course we want to.Consider the OT law concerning the Sabbath:
Romans 7:4 says we are dead to the law
Galatians 4:31, 5:1, and 4:9-11 exhort us to live free of the law, and all its observations of days, months and times and years.
But Romans 14:5,6 tells us that the choice is ours, whether to celebrate any particular day, etc. But whether we do or not, to be fully persuaded in either case.
