Passover vs Pagan Easter.

Originally posted by The Disciple… ↑

Many Christians today, let alone atheists, seem to have little to no understanding of the true origins of pagan rituals such as Easter. They do not stop to question why they are giving their children chocolate eggs, bunnies, and other customs that have nothing to do with Scripture. Many Christians are not even reading their Bibles closely enough to realise that it is impossible for Yeshua to have been crucified on Friday and risen on Sunday morning. None of that tradition is biblical.

Without making this a long post, I am simply going to leave this very well-informed video here, because it is 100% on point.

To the true believers, and to those who genuinely want to do the will of YHWH, and are willing to let go of denominational influence and indoctrination, be strong and stand against the ongoing deceptions of this day. You need to question why you do the things you do when they do not align with Scripture.

It is bad enough that atheists follow these rituals while not even believing in pagan gods, let alone the God of the Bible, yet still ignorantly participate in customs they do not understand. But for a Christian to cling to these things through lack of understanding, blindly following satanically influenced rituals, is mind-blowing, especially in a day when the origins of these practices are so easy to uncover.

This is a fantastic video explaining the truth about Passover versus Easter.

Passover begins this evening, by the way, for those interested. And no, it is not “just a Jewish thing.” It is a biblical instruction, given to all the tribes of Israel, not just Judah.

Rubbish TD
The claim is overstated and doesn't hold up under a close reading of the Bible.
The traditional timeline of Jesus' Yeshua's crucifixion on Friday and resurrection on Sunday morning is fully consistent with the biblical text when understood in its first-century Jewish context.

It's not a later "non-biblical tradition" invented by the church.

The Gospels explicitly place the events like this:

Crucifixion on "Preparation Day" -the day before the Sabbath- See Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14, 31, 42. Jesus died around 3 PM and was buried before sunset as the Sabbath approached.

Resurrection discovered early on the first day of the week -Sunday, Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1. The tomb was already empty at dawn.
This spans parts of three days: Friday -burial afternoon,,Saturday, full Sabbath day, and Sunday -early morning discovery.
Multiple passages describe the resurrection as occurring "on the third day" after the crucifixion - Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19; Luke 9:22, 18:33; 1 Corinthians 15:4. Others say "after three days" or "in three days." These are treated as equivalent in the text itself.

The "Three Days and Three Nights" Phrase -Matthew 12:40
Jesus says: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Jewish inclusive reckoning: In biblical culture and many ancient societies, any part of a day counted as a full day. Friday afternoon = Day 1, Saturday = Day 2, Sunday morning = Day 3. This matches how other Scriptures count time (e.g., "today, tomorrow, and the third day" in Exodus 19:10-11 or Luke 13:32).

Why the Tradition Aligns with Scripture

Early Christians observed the resurrection on Sunday "the Lord's Day" based on these Gospel reports, not pagan influence or sloppy reading.

The timeline fulfills prophecies, types -like Passover lamb, and Jesus' own words. Debates over exact days have existed for centuries, but they don't undermine the core facts: Jesus died, was buried, and rose bodily, defeating death.

Your claim assumes a modern, rigid 24-hour clock and ignores ancient Near Eastern timekeeping.

Reading the Bible "closely" actually supports the traditional understanding once you account for context. Christians who celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday aren't missing something obvious, We / they following the plain sense of the unified Gospel narrative.

The important truth is the resurrection itself, not the precise weekday debate.

You're showing your true bigotry colors and of being paranoid – full of conspiracy theories, you have serious issues
