1 Timothy 2:5 (NIV)
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
– John 11:25-26

Happy Resurrection Day

Yes I do....

MM, you took the exact words out of my mouth! YES I DO, without a moment's hesitation! His Name shall be calleth, WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, ALMIGHY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE! He is my King, my best Friend, my Heavenly Husband, my EVERYTHING! He is EVERYTHING to me! Without Him, my life means absolutely NOTHING!

I am watching 'Jesus of Nazareth' today. I love this depiction of Jesus better than any other, except for The Passion of the Christ. The Passion was mainly about the last 24 hours of Jesus' life....but 'Jesus of Nazareth,' is the best over all movie I've ever watched on Jesus' life. I'm streaming it through Netflix. The movie 'King of Kings' has Jesus telling a lie to His mother. Rejoice, my brothers and sisters in Christ...we have a Saviour who still lives! Amein!

I didn't know that.

That is not a small matter.
Be ever vigilant and aware, for the world cannot understand God.
Human nature demands that God be in our image. Making idols is an easy thing to do. It only takes one misconception of who He truly is.

There's only one Holy Scripture and it's the Hebrew Scriptures in the form of Old & New Testament the Bible.

Man can also adulterated the printed Bible by adding and removing text.


Movies from so called places like Hollywood are only interested in money, it not like I expected them to be honest and truthful just never caught the lie only watch that move once or twice, I love the story in movie form made in the 60's about Jesus.

You mean like the Easter bunny and today being called Resurrection Day.

The lie is when Jesus and His disciples stop at His moms and Jesus' mom has a chair needing to be fixed. (All hollywood.) He tells her he'll fix the chair when he comes back from Jerusalem. She tells him that he knows he won't be coming back. Again, we know it's hollywood, but that small section on the script puts the character of Jesus into the 'sin' column. A lie is a lie....big or small.....it tarnishes a sinless man to a sinful man. Can't have that......

Here's another one to know - It's not Resurrection Day, It's Resurrection Evening.

Here's another one to know - It's not Resurrection Day, It's Resurrection Evening.

If memory serves me right I do recall that Jewish time is somewhat different than the modern way of thinking about it. I believe their days end closer to sunset rather than midnight or something along those lines. I don't quite remember but I can respect and appreciate were you are coming from.
I don't hold any holidays in regard. I celebrate His birth and resurrection etc... everyday without holding one day above another. Christmas and Easter or any other day is simply any other day. The worldly Christianity has turned Jesus into an idol.
And if you question whether or not I believe Jesus is God I assuredly do. I think the example of a lying Jesus portrayed in a movie is a very simple example of turning Jesus into an idol.
We each have a responsibility to make sure we are worshiping the One true God. I know for certain that there is no salvation given by God by any other means than grace. But I also know that the Scriptures make it very plain and clear that you better be believing in and worshiping the right Jesus.

The day for a Jews start at dusk, the week ends at the completion of Sabbath starts at dusk - evening / ends the following dusk - This is the Lords Sabbath. There calendar has 30 days each month only.

Genesis chap 1 verse 13 & 19 & 23 & 31
"So the evening and morning were the _____ day.

Evening comes first followed by the morning - this how God Created the days.

You do see the connection?

 

[Saintscruiser]

Resurrection Day is what I came up with, some years back, and that is depicted by Scripture, when the women came to Jesus' tomb as the sun was coming up. What we could call it is: Resurrection Celebration! Ta Dah! Works for me!!

John 1:18 (NIV)
No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
– Isaiah 40:28-29

But Jesus was not in the tomb and it was early in the morning, He rose somewhere after dusk at the start of a new day.

To enhance the meaning of Jesus sacrifice and the blood read Exodus 12: 1-11 (13) God commanding how to observer God's/His Passover also pay attention to the preparation day.

For me the King James version of this verse just sound better and has more meaning to me and what really get me is when I read from my 1611 old King James reprint in old English language.

New King James version
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

Same verse from 1611 Old King James
"No man hath seene God at any time: the onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him."

Reading this post put a big smile on my face. I think you are hitting the nail on its head and I love the direction of this thinking.
And I love this part

the start of a new day.

There's a lot to that.

This direction of thinking is very unconventional, especially in this era of Christianity. But I think that if we were to follow things to their logical conclusion we all would come out with a better understanding of the Scriptures and I think many would reconsider they're beliefs...sadly, not many people are willing to follow today's common doctrines to their logical conclusions and therefore remain in the dark.
I fear for the Christians in the judgment, not for the unbeliever.
Did God not say "Come, let us reason together"? Isaiah 1:18

You ever wonder why people refuse the Word.


Ephesians 4:17-18
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Romans 11:8
As it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.”

Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.

Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father. Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.
– John 14:12-14

I was reading your post and this part jumped out at me "I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also"

The works of Jesus.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Isaiah Chapter 61: 1-2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn

 

[VapinBill]

Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
– 1 John 4:10-11
