Deu 12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Just Whom do you think the LORD was that spoke Deut 12 to Moses?
Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus Christ is the One that spoke these things...
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Sorry you don't think the OT counts. That is the scripture that Paul is referring to here...
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

When I joined this site, never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be reading posts stating that Christians who have full-fledged faith in Jesus Christ are going to hell because they use the word Easter.
God forgive you merciless, hatemongering drones who shut out the Kingdom of Heaven against man!

Read Matt 26.26-29. How can He drink it with us anew in His Father's kingdom if He is not resurrected? And that is part of what we celebrate in the Lord's Supper.
But His presenting of the wave sheaf was His entry into heaven having risen from the dead so that He could present what He had accomplished before the Father. Had He not risen He could not have done so.
You can stay on the cross. I will enjoy the resurrection
Although in fact there is no command in the new testament to observe the presenting of the wave sheaf. that is just your assumption. But we are to celebrate the fact that we will be with Him in His Father's kingdom as a consequence of His resurrection.

LOL Im sorry I know this was meant to be condemning but I found it funny. To think that someone condemns another because they call a holiday easter and that I am going to hell for it when you have no idea the relationship I have with God is just plain silly. To think that you think you know the extent of my salvation and anyone who celebrates easter is just silly. MrsRose i love you dearly but you have some maturing in Christ to do to understand these things, but I am in no way offended so please dont think you have upset me I have a very tough skin.
what's in a name? Passover was not called Easter until midway through the second millennium AD. We celebrate Passover on the Lord's day which follows the full moon (Passover) after the new moon which opens up the equinox because we are celebrating the cross and resurrection not deliverance from Egypt. Thus we celebrate it on what we now call Easter Sunday, resurrection day. It is fixed by Biblical calculation, not by any feast of a goddess.

You're right! I just read it. The Word of God clearly states: For God so loved the world that He gave His own Son, that whoever believes in Him and does not use the word Easter shall have everlasting life.
Whew! That was close! I was almost condemned to hell, but thanks to you, I now understand that Jesus' saving grace at the Cross takes a back seat to using the word Easter. Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways!

And where have I ever said He is not resurrected? He is the firstborn among many brethren. What I have said is that He does not instruct us to celebrate His resurrection.
Exactly, He arose from the dead Sabbath afternoon. When the women came to the tomb, He was already resurrected...
Joh 20:1 Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Joh 20:2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
Notice that it is still dark and the tomb is empty?
Now we read on...
Joh 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' "
He had not yet fulfilled the Wave Sheaf offering.
Now later that same day we read...
Joh 20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."
Joh 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."
He had been to the Father, presented Himself as our sacrifice and then returned.
You may celebrate any man made tradition you wish, I will celebrate the Feasts of God.
