Not sure it matters WHEN we celebrate it's happening, but THAT we celebrate it's happening and rejoice fully in it.
The Truth of God's Word goes hand and hand with the history of His creation. The correct history.
I realize the truth is best ... but the recognition and celebration is what is important. Does it matter if you have the exact day if you're not celebrating it or recognizing the miracle?
I know what day Kwanza is, but I do not celebrate it or even know what it means. I don't celebrate Cinco De Mayo or St. Patrick's day either. I know what days they are and why other people celebrate them, but I do not. (And actually ... Cinco De Mayo isn't the right day to celebrate what people think it's for, either.) Why? Because I don't care. That's the difference.
If you're witnessing to those who do not know the miracle ... you tell them the miracle, amaze them with His glory, His love and His forgiveness. Some time after they understand, then mention the day we celebrate the miracle ... and maybe how "we don't know the exact day, but ... this is when we all get together, sing goofy songs, wear ugly sweaters, eat lots of sweets, kill an evergreen and truly thank him for what he has done for us."
I would LOVE to know the absolute specifics of everything about The Lord. But it's literally IMPOSSIBLE until we meet Him in person and He makes us more than "man". Until then, I celebrate Him .... every day.
Don't get all caught up in semantics and details. That's leftist shit.
No it's not. Greater understanding of the Word of God comes with a historical application of it. What percentage of the population even knows what Passover really is, besides some Jewish feast? Now, if you know the customs and rituals behind it, like choosing a lamb without spot or blemish for your sacrifice and examining it, to make sure, for 3 days before you slaughter it. This is the Jewish custom. On Palm Saturday (lol, but true) when Christ rode into Jerusalem on the colt (or ass) the people of Jerusalem chose their Lamb, Hosanna the Highest. For the next three days, the pharisees hounded Jesus, examining Him before the people. The people decided He was worthy to be slaughtered.
Staring at an easter basket won't bring you to the understanding of such things. How much more is buried, waiting for us to learn?
See, a better biblical and historical education and you would easily know that I am a Bible Believing Baptist. And people wonder how they get led astray so easily.
Exactly.
