I want to know more of the Holy Bible

Hence the name came to be given to the festival "of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the" Passover.

pastor elijah the reason for easter is acts 12-4 cannot be the passover passover was begore the days of unleavened bread not after. herod was waiting for easter the feast of ishtar which in greek is pascha he was not waiting for the passover herod was a wicked pagan king he would not celebrate passover but pagan easter. kjv is accurate go to david daniels chick publications . GOD BLESS

The name of the day, that we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, is of no concern to True Believers. Nor is what some men have named this particular day, or the origins of the name. What is important is the celebration of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, rising from the dead on the third day. Literally conquering sin and death for all mankind. Don't get snared in Satan's distractions.

Easter is a pagan day, Ishtar, which has crept into the Christian church. concerning the scripture in ch 12 here, the confusion is between the Passover and the days of Unleavened Bread, we need to note that passover was before the days of unleavened bread, and Herod was waiting to bring Peter out after the days of unleavened bread or pascha-which may have been easter.

The events in the Bible occur on Jewish high and feast days. We have the Passover for his Crucifixion, he rose on the feast of Firstfruits which was the first day of the week after passover. He did not rise on Easter. Easter has nothing to do with Christianity; it is a pagan holy day for the spring solstice which just happens to be at the same time of year as Passover and the feast of Firstfruits.

Hi there,
I would like to ask this question to get more clarifications.
My question is as follow; Why in the KJV 1611 especially in Acts: 12:4 this Version changed the word "PASSOVER to EASTER?"

GOD ALWAYS DELIVER HIS PEOPLE.HIS WORDS SAID STAND STILL AND HE WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLE.AMEN.HE'S A GREAT GOD.PETER HAVE A LOT OF FAITH.

Matt 9 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Hello Ray; How many amazing and powerful answers to prayer have we seen! Things that others would easily say, Oh No Way! But yes, I think we just don't get it much we mean to the Lord, and how much then our prayers ARE HEARD! We are the salt of the earth, that only [little] thing that keeps the whole earth from completely rotting and stinking and becoming worthless corruption. Read Psalm 149:6-9

Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Prayer is so important, by praying, we can move mountains.

Peter was chain between two soldiers, angel of the lord came and smote him gird thyself and bind on thy sandals. God is awesome, think about this verse. Peter chain between two soldiers.

Remember, nothing is permanent, not even our troubles. Herod always dis. Acts 12: 21-24.

Easter is not all about what people think but it is about the remembrance of Christ resurrection

To Albert on easter - first off, since you don't go along with easter - why capitalize and make it - IMPORTANT .....? 2nd off - I'm with you on this. 3rd off - our church calls it Resurrection Sunday, nor do we have egg hunts.

Herod died a horrible death for accepting glory that should have gone to God.

Easter was not the time of celebration as how some other think it is for the LORD celebration. But it is a pagan day of worship but not for the LORD..

I am in disagreement with Richard, it is true that the James killed by Herold was the brother on John the son of Zebedee, but the other James was not the brother of Jesus ( Mark 3: 18) he was son of Alphaeus. Jesus brother James did not become a follower until after Jesus death. ( Acts 1: 14)

I disagree with Mary on the celebration of Easter. I celebrate Easter as the glorious day of our Lord Jesus Christ's Resurrection. Some people may celebrate for other reasons, but that is their problem.

Verses 7, 10

Chains fell off

There are two James who happened to be disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.The Apostle James that was killed by King Herod was brother of John the Apostle.Acts12:2. While the Apostle James in verse17 was Apostle James the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ.Acts15:13-21;Gal1:19

thanks

This James was Jesus' brother who became a leader in the Jerusalem church; Acts 15:18 , Galatians 1:9. The James who was killed (Acts12:2) was John's brother and one of the original 12 disciples.

In verse 2 of Acts 12 Herod killed James...Then in verse 17 go show these things unto James..Is it the same James?

Brenda ragsdale's and Angela Barnes': Acts 12:4 Easter verse 3 1 King Herod seized Peter also, he saw the people were pleased when he arrested some who belonged to the church. James the brother of John was put to death. 2 Notice Peter was arrested during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was the week following Passover. Passover was for one day only. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a week long festival directly following Passover.. 3 Passover had passed, Passover was over. 4 Herod intended after "EASTER" to bring him, Peter, forth to the people. Jeremiah 7:18 speaks of the Queen of Heaven, Ishtar, also know as Estar,she is a goddess, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and fertility 44:17 . This pagan celebration was held the same time of year as the Feast of Unleaved Bread. There is much info out there giving Bible verses you can check for yourself. Easter was a Roman pagan celebration. There were many disgusting things that happen and after reading all I can find on "Easter" and it being a pagan holiday I myself will not have anything to do with it.

Believe and all things are possible

The Days of Unleavened Bread is known as The Passover for Jews. During the Passover , Jews are only to eat unleavened bread to commemorate the exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt when they could only have bread without leaven. The Passover is when The Last supper took place and Jesus was arrested after the Passover Over (dinner). So Peter was arrested also during the Passover days.

This means that those who keep their self in the Lord and obey his word no matter how God will bless them and fight for them in all things

Throughout Holy Scripture Creator God clearly warns against mixing pagan gods into our worship for the Christian community to perpetrate use of this term in reference to Christ's Resurrection and to muddy the Jewish Holy Days is reprehensible
