Easter

[metalman]

Thanks.

No offense, but how does this passage apply to "Easter" except by vaguely mentioning resurrection? To me, the main jest of the passage is about BAPTISM and not resurrection. Yes, it does mention it, but it's basically explaining WHAT baptism is loosely about, not the resurrection.

First, theres nothing in the Bible that applies to Easter in a positive way being that it is a compete and total pagan invention.
I don't see the reference to the ressurection being vague, its quite clear.
And youre right, it is about baptism, and fact the baptisim commeorates the death and ressurection of Christ.

Again, this to me is referring to Baptism more than anything else. Again, yes baptism is related to resurrection, but I still fail to see how you are tying the ACT of baptism with Easter. Are you saying that during "Easter" we should all be baptised every year in order to celebrate? If so, wouldn't that then take away the meaning of Baptism which should only be partaken in once since its a symbolic way of cleansing our sins?

Tying anything in the Bible with Easter will be impossible. Perhaps I should ask you what Biblical instruction there is for Easter in the first place? I have never seen it. On the contrary, I have seen plenty of instruction and clear implication that one should avoid pagan rituals or anything associated with them.

I am NOT saying we should be baptised once a year. I am saying that the Bible indicates one baptism followed by communion is the way to commemorate the death and ressurection of Christ. He said so Himself. What other instruction then the personal words of Christ does one need?


I will address the Eucharist question later.

I still don't see where in either of those passages it specifically details how we are to remember his resurrection unless you loosely assume that Baptism and Communion are the ways to do so.

Where do you see the specific detail to remember his ressurection? What Scripture??? Where do you see any instruction to hold yearly Easter services??
