How and When did Passover become Easter?

Passover became Easter when Jesus died on the cross.
Up to that point Passover was in remembrance of what happened at Exodus.
Now it’s much more powerful and we understand Passover was a vague picture
of the true work of salvation.

Also a new remembrance was given, the bread and wine to do as often
as needed. Rather than once a year.

Christian, through the work of Christ, are free to live a life without sin. If you choose to still go back to being bound by sin, God lets you do that, but it is a poor choice. What isn't of God is against God. You can't serve the devil and God at the same time.

Whoa, are you saying not celebrating Christ through the Feasts is a sin?

I think it is time to inspect all the decisions made so long ago to be sure they are of God and not of pagans.

Antisemitism amongst the Early Church Fathers even before Constantine did not help either, as it pushed for a further divide between the Church and it's own Jewish roots...


Ignatius Bishop of Antioch (98-117A.D.) – Epistle to the Magnesians
For if we are still practicing Judaism, we admit that we have not received God’s favor…it is wrong to talk about Jesus Christ and live like Jews. For Christianity did not believe in Judaism, but Judaism in Christianity.

In the earliest church, most converts to Christianity had spent a lifetime in idol worship. Most of the world’s population where still idol worshippers.

All cults celebrated the equinox in the spring at almost the same time that Passover was celebrated, it was natural to combine the two. Idol worship made it a time of celebrating fertility.

By the year 323, the Roman Emperor (Constantine) had decided to make Christianity the state religion, but he hated the Jews. Constantine brought about 300 Christian ministers to Rome to decide on the doctrines of the Christian Church, they debated for three years. All their expenses were paid by Rome. The one instruction they were given was: 'Let us, then, have nothing in common with the Jews, who are our adversaries...Therefore this irregularity must be corrected, in order that we may no more have anything in common with the parricides and murderers of our Lord'"

In the first 100 years of Christianity, scripture was part of worship. People like James, the brother of Christ, had headed the church and gentiles were told to learn about God in scripture. The NT wasn’t heard of, yet. Now, those Christian people had been killed in the wars when Rome won so triumphantly. So the newly converted to Christianity people did not know scripture. enough to know how to keep paganism away from Christian worship.

Another factor that worked for letting paganism into Christianity was that we were given the Holy Spirit to replace rituals to lead us to holy living. Instead of being led by the Holy Spirit they simply labeled all God's directions as rituals to be disposed of.

With Christians in the minority to pagans, with being told Jews were terrible, with laws made against scripture by Constantine, with God being swept aside as only Christ as God the traditions of our church were established.

Do you think that God considers the feast days that celebrate our salvation is a ritual that the Holy Spirit has replaced? If so, please give a reason for this decision.

Some of my reasons for thinking it is not is, first the rituals all led to obedience of a God principle. The feasts do not. All of the feasts celebrate and praise
God for His plan of salvation for us.

Another reason is that for all the feasts we are told in scripture that they apply to all Christians forever. In biblical language "for all generations".

Honestly, Mini, the truth of what happened isn't as you say. Here is the absolute truth, reporting what actually happened.

When God freed the Hebrew slaves from Egypt, it was symbolic of our freedom of slavery to sin that Christ gave us. God had the Hebrews put blood on the doorposts to save their little boys from death, God gave His Son to save us from death. We are to understand the sameness in those happenings. Then God told us to celebrate that Christ saves us. This was done 2,000 years before Christ was born as human, but shed blood was a symbol of Christ those years and people celebrated that with Passover before they fully understood, even.

Then, after Christ came, men got deep into prejudice against the Hebrew almost as bad as Hitler had and they said anything a Hebrew does is wrong, we'll do it better. So they invented Easter using the occult they knew so well and mixing in Christ. They didn't invent Easter they even called by a name they got from the occult to celebrate God, they did it to one up on the Hebrews. That comes to us from writings of that time that have been preserved.

So you think you are celebrating Christ with Easter, but God knows you are obeying people as deep in the occult as they were in Christianity. Easter eggs and bunnies are like proof texts of this.

Wow!! What a question. Are there sins of omission? That would mean we would need Christ in our life every single moment we live.

I only know that following what God tells us to do brings a freedom and joy.

or is it more likely that early church was right and now we have fallen away into extremism zionism which is new in history? i think so. the jews persecuted the christians read the epistles of thessalonians. the jews who didnt believe the gospel were cut off, those who did believe were saved. gentiles who dont believe are unsaved and gentiles who do believe are saved. easy

I can take that either way. So please, yes or no,
are you saying not celebrating Christ through the Feasts is a sin?

Of cousrse all who are commemorating the Triumph of Jesus, Yeshua, are indeed celebrating the Passover, but to continue after knowing th e tradition of the eggs stems from Oestra, goddess of fertility, to continue in thast vein is just hatred of one's own beginnings in the Hebrew roots of all believers of jesus, Yeshua.

I agree that Easter is a strange word to use for our day of rememberance.

I am saying I have no idea. The entire subject of our omission of something God asks of us as sin or not is a new thought to me. I wonder what posters would do with that if we made that a thread. What do you think? If I was to list things that I wish I did for the Lord it could take all day.
