"Behind this disagreeable theological dispute between eastern and western churches, we gain precious insight into how the premodern mind understood fermentation, and especially what distinguishes it from rot and decay." https://theconversation.com/a-eucharist-of-sourdough-or-wafer-what-a-thousand-year-old-religious-quarrel-tells-us-about-fermentation-212698 #Christianity #Religion #Theology #Catholic #Orthodox #Church #Eucharist #Fermentation #Bread #Byzantine #Sourdough @religion @theology @christianity
@erikstrub @religion @theology @christianity You raise an interesting question.
"... the new testament clearly sets Easter in a traditional context with pessach ..."
The New Testament says no such thing. Easter is a pagan holy day that merely coincides with the unleavened bread in some years. Easter is a very ancient rite of the solar worship cults. And the New Covenant commands no observance of any holy days, and in fact states as a commandment not to burden any brother to observe any holy day or feast:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand [.....]
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Romans 14)
Easter is the holy day of idolators. The New Covenant says we are not to regard the holy days of idols. The Apostles warn us repeatedly to abstain from idolatry and, 'flee fornication' which means spiritual fornication with false gods. The New Covenant says that whether or not one wishes to regard the holy days of Moses is a personal matter and one should not be judged on account of this, since the law of Moses is passing away and giving way to a new law of the Spirit rather than the letter.
The Church lies about Easter. The Bible itself tells us all about Easter. It is the worship of the god-man Tammuz AKA Horus, and his Mother Ishtar, AKA Isis.
Easter has NOTHING to do with passover. That is just a lie told by the apostate church religion. It merely coincides with Passover in some years. Rome has tried to change the calendar to try to make the various days of Easter and Passover coincide as much as possible:
"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
"... change times and laws ..."
Ezekiel chapter eight prophesied this idolatry of the Church:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"... they worshipped the sun toward the east ..."
That is your Easter sunrise service right there. This is the truth about the Easter sunrise Mass. It is idolatry, and God hates it, and God calls it an abomination.
To see what the Bible says about Easter, and how the Church is lying to you, read this article:
Easter is Devil Worship. Easter is a Celebration of the Anti-Christ.

The Christian Church is Mystery Babylon. "Come out of her, my people ..."

@firefly @erikstrub @bibliolater @religion @theology @christianity Pretty wild, to go on such a rant about easter and at the same time quoting Romans 14...
Even if your theories about the origin and meaning of easter were true, does not mean, that it holds any power over a faithful christian.
Rom 8:38-39 KJV For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers [...], shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
@bibliolater @religion @theology @christianity
Interesting, I did not know that. However, isn't it is obvious that the new testament clearly sets easter in a traditional context with pessach? So the main question might be whether and how to distinct (or not) from judaic traditions?
