Discuss Acts 12 Page 4

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

The words of God became outstandingly life which can not be broken. Because everyone encounter it 's in their circumstances received brake through with immediate effects. No controversy the words is God in action forever.

The gates shut for many but for a child of God it will open for its own.

Easter was considered a pagan holiday commemorating the spring time of the year...adopting the rabbit because of its fertile nature,..hence, the goddess of fertility,Eastre, became Easter.

I prefer the King James version because it was so carefully translated. I stumbled over Easter at first. But see it is correctly used.

The Greek word "pascha " is translated Easter here because it is the only place in the Bible where "pascha " appears in a post-Resurrection context. The Early Church did celebrate Easter but they called it "Pascha " instead. The Greek Orthodox Church still continues this practice today by celebrating Pascha instead of Easter.

Ejiro, if you are a true believer of the Son of God, our " Lord Jesus Christ " then you will have a good testimony

To Ejiro sagua ch 12 remark I wrote to you yesterday but my comment was not printed .I am writing again that what I understood is you are either bound physically or spiritually and need intercessor prayer .

To Ejiro Sagua Acts 12 remark. If I understood right you need us to pray for you. You keep your faith and I will pray for you

I am at a situation that needs God 's fast intervention. To me, it is an "iron gate " situation I hold on to God that just like He did for Peter, my situation will give way open on its own accord. I look forward to sharing my testimony I pray someone reading this comment will key into to what I have written in faith.

Peters deliverance came about as he remembered the words of Jesus concerning his death in John21 18-19.He had faith in Jesus words...He went to sleep whilst inder sentence of death....how many could do that.Faith is a rest,,,Hebrews4 3...the3 church prayed continually..in total unbelief as when Peters deliverance became known..they laughed and said to Rhoda...your mad...did not believe their own prayers...I could say lot more but you probably had enough of me...thanks

Ac 12:10 No matter how strong a problem may be even if it is as strong as an iron, it will bow at the presence of the lord "iron gate opened on its own accord " Although, there soldiers watching, Peter was past finding because the was with him

The Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Easter means Passover not a holiday man made holiday . Easter not in the original bible, do not add or subtract from God 's word.

Acts.12 23 24.Herod gave a speech which pleased the audience and they shouted this 's the voice of god,giving glory that belongs to God to mere man of which Herod without fear of God accepted that he 's god and deserved to be glorified,therefore God sent an Angel that struck him down and was eaten up by worms.Please brethren do not take the glory of God for yourself,it 's a sin against the Holy Spirit for God says "I will never share my glory with anyone.

Easter was an holiday it read Peter was held after Easter.we should pray always and glorify God not man

the jews applied the principle of the devil to steal the grace of God for their glory.

prayer is the key to us Christians , we should pray the way we take our meals. am blessed hope you are also?

one it was not easter it was the feast of unleavened bread . i also believe GOD made peter invisible and they passed the guards unnoticed, praying and fasting is the key.

David's Exodus Chapter 12 comment on 1/31/2013, 9:55am...

Exodus 12:2 mentions "This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you." What month in our calendar does this refer to? Also this chapter states "And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening." Since the scripture clearly states that the Passover shall start on the 14th day of the month why does the date change every year? God's calendar is solar not lunar like our present one and that's why the dates change. God's year begins at the Spring Equinox. The sun would rise and the rays would shine up the temple steps into the Holy of Holies. And Gods day commences at sundown and ends the following sundaom. This shows the day begins in darkness but always ends in light. That being said, if the spring Equinox is at 2am local time it is that day we begin to count from. On the fourteenth day at sunset begins Passover for Jews AND CHRISTIANS ALIKE!!!!! God said forever throughout your generations. This never changed. Where Easter appears in Acts 12:4 was a mistake by a translator which has never been corrected.

So, Was this Easter a holiday of the Romans? Because the Christians did not believe in what was called Easter.

hi Brenda
check this out i hope it helps you God Bless

in chapter 12 verse 4. where it says 'AND DELIVERED HIM TO FOUR QUATERNIONS OF SOLDIERS TO KEEP HIM;INTENDING AFTER EASTER....... ok, i know the jews and te christians at the time of Lukes writeing acts that they did not celebrate EASTER and EASTER did not exist. was this translation by the king james version of the bible useing the name EASTER because the english language didnt have a word for PECHACH or PASCHA hebrew and greek for passover. could this not lead to erronouse use of easter for passover ? Is this the only verse in the Bible where the word EASTER is used ? this could be confussing to some could it not ?

The Holy Spirit doesn't use His Word in a casual manner...i.e., saying one thing while meaning something different. So when the Holy Spirit uses Luke to write His Word in Acts (specifically Acts 12:23) and says, Immediately, then I would hesitate to imply any length of time attributed to Herod giving up the ghost. For not only are you challenging the accuracy of Holy Scriptures, but worse you are in peril of adding to or taking away that which has been given by the Holy Spirit; and stand accursed before God.
