Easter has NOTHING to do with the resurrection of the Christ whatsoever. It’s about a pagan fertility goddess and the egg is symbolic of fertility. But the KJVO’ers are quite happy with the KJV translators using it in their translation of pascha because God inspired them to make such a gaffe. :rolleyes:

But when other translations quote a pagan king saying ‘a son of the gods’ is a sign of corruption?

Oh the hypocrisy.

Proof COWS HAVE 11 legs.

Impirically observed: No cow has 7 legs.

Impirically observed: A cow has 4 more legs than no cow.

Proof: Cows have 11 legs 7+4=11!

Words are my favorite toys!

I celebrate them to a certain extent, but know that pagan culture has swallowed them up. It’s about a bunny and a fat dude in red long drawers now.

There isn't a single verse in Scripture that states that "seven" or "7" means "completeness". While plausible and logical, it is still only an inference and as such should not be the basis for doctrinal assertions. It is just as plausible to consider 3, 4 and 12 as meaning "completeness" for each is used in that sense. It is far better to take the approach that 7 may be used to signify "completeness" in certain cases. I would suggest that anything that requires stretching to make it fit... doesn't fit. That includes any word counts in English.

I'm not basing any doctrine on numbers. The fact that the number seven is used in multiple places to show completeness is clearly evident.

How do you figure Easter has nothing to do the resurrection of Christ? What do you call it?

Holy Spirit is [person, name]. BOTH! The name of a person. So, since name is part of the set [person, name] it is correct to say "Holy Spirit is a name." It is correct to say "Holy Spirit is a person", and it is correct to say "Holy Spirit is the name of a person."

You know that whole false idea of Easter being pagan started with Alexander Hislop.... maybe he hate the KJV or something I guess but Easter originally meant the rising sun or east and resurrection.

The English word Easter is of German/Saxon origin and not Babylonian as Alexander Hislop falsely claimed. The German equivalent is Oster. Oster (Ostern being the modern day equivalent) is related to Ost which means the rising of the sun, or simply in English, east. Oster comes from the old Teutonic form of auferstehen / auferstehung, which means resurrection, which in the older Teutonic form comes from two words, Ester meaning first, and stehen meaning to stand. These two words combine to form erstehen which is an old German form of auferstehen, the modern day German word for resurrection.7 (Italics in original)

So in order for the KJV translators to mark the only place in the bible where passover had already been fulfilled, what other word could they have used besides Easter?

Pascha refers to the Passover. The Christ is our Passover Lamb. It’s not about a fertility goddess and an egg.

Easter is of a Germanic origin, not a Hebrew word. The KJV used a word ‘easter’ that is not of Hebrew or Greek origin.

‘Easter and ‘Lucifer’ are two proofs the KJV is not inspired.

Christians don't celebrate shadows, we celebrate the real. We don't celebrate passover we clebrate Easter. Do you have this same bias against Christmas?

Pascha means Passover, not an egg. The KJV translators erred, and erred horribly, inserting the word ‘Easter’ for pascha. They used a pagan goddess for pascha and you have zero problem with it. Unreal.

If they used Christmas the way they used Easter I would feel the same.

On the day other people eat chocolate rabbits and search for colored eggs, I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. I don't care what it's called.

If the Greek indicates the distinction between passover prior to and after fulfillment, a word other than "passover" would make sense. If it doesn't, the KJV translators' use of a different word is unjustified. It really is as simple as that. Since the Greek word appears to be the same in both cases, you will need something more than circular reasoning to defend it.

Ok, I get it you think the KJV translators were evil because they used the word Easter lol, but what I'm trying to get from you is what word you use for the celebration the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

I understand your unwillingness to answer the question lol.

Here’s my bone of contention. Christmas is celebrated the same day every year to celebrate His birth. Granted, none know His exact birthday, but at least it’s the same day every year. Easter is in March and April. Next year, it will be celebrated on 4/21, and 4/12 in 2020. This shows me it has nothing to do with His resurrection at all.
