Easter in 2001?

Question:

– David Grimes

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – If you gentlemen had any intelligence at all you would know that Isaiah was talking about the Northern Kingdom of Israel which had left God because of the disagreement with Solomon’s son Rehoboam.  This is from the Old Covenant, remember????  And I guess we will have to totally ignore the book of Revelation 5:8…"When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.  Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with *incense*, which are the prayers of the holy ones."  Or how about this section from Revelation 8:3-4…"Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a gold censer.  He was given a great quantity of *incense* to offer, along with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne." See more below! — David Grimes Jack Prattas : Easter in 2001 is on April 15th. It’s irrelevant. It wouldn’t matter if "easter" was on October 26th. or June 6th. or whatever. GOD doesn’t care when or if or if ever you "observe" "easter" or not. Neither should we. How do you know God doesn’t care??  Your self-righteousness is showing again and again!!! Similar comments apply to "christmas", "quinqagesima sunday", "shrove tuesday, "the feast of the circumcision" and "the birthday of st. Edwina"; it is all a load of pretentious codswallop, totally inessential for salvation. A plague on all such tom-foolery. Again Michael you show your ignorance and self-righteous pride!  This is of course your opinion and a subjective one at that. Michael Townsend Michael: Agreed!  The Lord says, "When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts?  Bring no more futile sacrifices; incense is an abomination to Me.  The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies; I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.  Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them."   Isaiah 1:12-14 See above and read the context!  You smorgasbored Baptists are really beginning to irritate me!!! — GoldRush For Half Truths and my own subjective Opinion visit http://www.mlode.com/~jrrush Chad, This passage from Isaiah teaches and reveals truth about God that is confirmed by Jesus Christ in the N.T. when He told the Samaritan woman that God demands believers’ worship be "in Spirit and in truth."  [John 4:23&24]

So, what’s your point????  I teach Old Testament seminars and you didn’t really address the issue.  Protestants, Calvinists, etc. see no importance to the history and totality of scripture.  You folks lack the big picture Rituals, rites, incense, robes, icons, religious calendars, cathedrals, candles,etc. mean nothing to God or earn man brownie points with Him.

Who said they were for brownie points???  How can you determine by your own subjective opinion that these things are not approved by God???  I don’t believe in *Bible Alone* and whatever my church approves is fine in our worship services.  You folks do without and I feel for you! The passages you quote from Revelation are a supreme example of Scripture interpreting itself, for it says plainly in Rev. 5:8 that the "golden bowls *are* the prayers of the saints."  So we know that when studying these portions, we have liberty by the Holy Spirit to accept the descriptions of worship in heaven, figuratively.

Let me give you the quote…."When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.  Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls FILLED WITH INCENSE, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF THE HOLY ONES."  Nice try but the golden bowls are not the prayers….it very clearly states in English that the prayers were the incense.  Another reason why personal interpretation can twist until it makes your case.  You made a supreme blunder and can’t explain it away. Note:  The importance of prayer in worship to God.  Again, another confirmation of Jesus’ words, that "the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth . . .God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit (prayers and psalms from the heart) and truth (Scriptures).  [John 4:23&24]

Sorry, but the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. (I Timothy 3:15)  We Catholics use scripture and the psalms at every mass.  Again your own interpretation and opinion. (We are of the Reformed faith, and better described as Calvinists, if it matters that much to you.)

Sure, it matters to me when people follow the doctrines of men and not the Church.  I just like reading the twisted logic used by non-Catholics to weakly justify their "Reformed Faith"; whatever that means.  Too many Protestant denominations….all claim to have the truth……all disagree as you prove….Glad I converted to the Catholic Faith…I’m no longer confused about faith.

If you were a Bible scholar, but you are not, you would know that the apostle Paul teaches [ in the New Testament ] that all of the Old Testament is inspired by GOD and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, and for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the man of GOD may be FULLY EQUIPPED for the work of GOD. You claim to be a "teacher" of others yet you don’t know this ! Your untruthfulness is evident.   Jack Prattas : Easter in 2001 is on April 15th.

Michael Townsend : It’s irrelevant. It wouldn’t matter if "easter" was on October 26th. or June 6th. or whatever. GOD doesn’t care when or if or if ever you "observe" "easter" or not. Neither should we.

Goldrush : Agreed!  The Lord says, "When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts?  Bring no more futile sacrifices; incense is an abomination to Me.  The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies; I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.  Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them."   Isaiah 1:12-14

These are well-chosen and very appopriate texts. Chad [ a.k.a. David ] : See above and read the context!  You smorgasbored Baptists are really beginning to irritate me!!!

Silly David [ or Chad ]. We are not "baptists". Your bigoted hatred of genune Christians is evident. Goldrush : This passage from Isaiah teaches and reveals truth about God that is confirmed by Jesus Christ in the N.T. when He told the Samaritan woman that God demands believers’ worship be "in Spirit and in truth."  [John 4:23&24]

David [ a.k.a. Chad ] : Sorry, but the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. (I Timothy 3:15)  

Yes, but when he wrote 1 Timothy 3 : 15, the apostle Paul was not referring to the pagan superstitious "roman-catholic" cult. Neither Jesus Christ nor any of His apostles ever established the idolatrous "roman-catholic" organisation. Nor can you prove otherwise.   Chad [ a.k.a. David ] : We "roman-catholics" use scripture and the psalms at every mass.  

So do your fellow-cults, the "Mormons"; who like you papists, also falsely pretend to be Christians.  But they like you are alao hypocrites, manifest liars and cheats. Goldrush : (We are of the Reformed faith, and better described as Calvinists, if it matters that much to you.)

David [ a.k.a. Chad ] : Sure, it matters to me when people follow the doctrines of men and not the Church.

ROTFL ! In that case, you should depart from your "roman-catholic" cult for it is flagrantly guilty of this very sin which you smugly claim to abhor. You seem to be ambivalent ? Who are you ? Are you David Curtis or Chad Grimes or Chad Curtis or David Grimes or . . ? Michael Townsend

Response:

I’ve just read all the confusing stuff about full moons etc.  While I don’t doubt that this is how they work out the date of Easter, You don’t need to know all this. To put it simply Easter Sunday 2001 is 15th April. And so you don’t have to keep asking, here is a guide to Easter in the next few years. 2001 – 15 April; 2002 – 31 March; 2003 – 20 April; 2004 – April 11; 2005 – March 27; 2006 – April 16; 2007 – April 8; 2008 – March 23; 2009 – April 12; 2010 – April 4; 2011 – April 24; 2012 – April 8; 2013 – March 31; 2014 – April 20; 2015 – April 5; 2016 – March 27; 2017 – April 16; 2018 – April 1; 2019 – April 21; 2020 – April 12; 2021 – April 4; 2022 – April 17; 2023 – April 9; 2024 – March 31; 2025 – April 20 That should be enough for now.

I’ve checked a couple of program scripts on the Web which give next year’s Easter as April 15.  Just want to confirm this.

<snipped Chad, This passage from Isaiah teaches and reveals truth about God that is confirmed by Jesus Christ in the N.T. when He told the Samaritan woman that God demands believers’ worship be "in Spirit and in truth."  [John 4:23&24] So, what’s your point????  I teach Old Testament seminars and you didn’t really address the issue.

We didn’t?  A teacher of the O.T. could not see the connection we made of the passage of Isaiah with the N.T.?    What do your seminars consist of, anyway?  Protestants, Calvinists, etc. see no importance to the history and totality of scripture.  You folks lack the big picture

We just gave you part of the big picture. Can’t help it if you are blind to it! Rituals, rites, incense, robes, icons, religious calendars, cathedrals, candles,etc. mean nothing to God or earn man brownie points with Him. Who said they were for brownie points???

The Roman Catholic Church is based on semi-Pelagianism; i.e. the virtues of man can achieve a works righteousness with God.  How can you determine by your own subjective opinion that these things are not approved by God???

Didn’t.  We gave out the objective Word of God. I don’t believe in *Bible Alone* and whatever my church approves is fine in our worship services.

Obviously. You folks do without and I feel for you!

Do without what?  Your church’s approval!  ROTFL! The passages you quote from Revelation are a supreme example of Scripture interpreting itself, for it says plainly in Rev. 5:8 that the "golden bowls *are* the prayers of the saints."  So we know that when studying these portions, we have liberty by the Holy Spirit to accept the descriptions of worship in heaven, figuratively.

Silly argument . . .the point being God wants to be worshiped in spirit and truth; the bowls filled with prayers figuratively depict that kind of worship in heaven. Note:  The importance of prayer in worship to God.  Again, another confirmation of Jesus’ words, that "the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth . . .God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit (prayers and psalms from the heart) and truth (Scriptures).  [John 4:23&24] Sorry, but the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. (I Timothy 3:15)  We Catholics use scripture and the psalms at every mass.  Again your own interpretation and opinion.

No argument with your using Scripture and Psams at every mass . . . the problem is the *mass* . . .crucifying the Lord every day of the week! Horrors! (We are of the Reformed faith, and better described as Calvinists, if it matters that much to you.) Sure, it matters to me when people follow the doctrines of men and not the Church.

Reformers follow the doctrines of the Scriptures . . .Sola Scriptura!  I just like reading the twisted logic used by non-Catholics to weakly justify their "Reformed Faith"; whatever that means.  Too many Protestant denominations….all claim to have the truth……all disagree as you prove….Glad I converted to the Catholic Faith…I’m no longer confused about faith.

They are just completely stupid pompous jerks … this thread started in a very lighthearted vein since Easter next year was April 15th tax day … This coincidence led to some good comments until Moe and Larry put their two cents in … The correct USENET term for both of them is troll … responding to them violates the USENET commandment not to feed the trolls … I too earlier felt compelled to reply to their nonsense and so was guilty of this violation … In the Village ….

Technically, Easter is the first Sunday which follows the first full moon following the spring equinox, which is the day when we have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness (if the first full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is a week after that). You know, for 20 years I’v been trying to figure that out….

Spring equinox where? New moon where? The earth’s orbit brings it past the midpoint in its orbit (well, the point where day and night would be equal) at some moment in time. Same for the new moon. Roughly speaking, that would occur on one day for half the world and the next day for the other half. If that day were Saturday, parts of the world might have to celebrate Easter in March and the rest in April! ;-) Actually, I have heard that early in the 19th century (1812?), the new moon and the spring equinox were so close together that most church astronomers got the date for Easter wrong! I understand our Eastern Orthodox brothers don’t have such problems. For the purposes of calculating Easter, they *define* the spring equinox as occurring on March 21 of the old (Julian) calendar. So they celebrate Easter one to six weeks after we do. Always willing to muddy the unclear! Steve

Edward Curtis : Anybody know when Easter falls in 2001?  

"snumber6" : Tax Day April 15 … Rejoice in the Risen Christ and cry when you write the check … or do your taxes on Good Friday and sharing Christ’s sufferings will be a lot easier …

The fable that Christ "died on friday, arose on sunday" is denied by the Scriptures. [ Gospel of Matthew 12 ] Christ personally stated that He would be buried for ~Three~ [ 3 ] days PLUS for ~Three~ [ 3 ] nights, and only after that period was ended would He be raised from death.   Three days and Three nights is a period of least 72 hours. But the absurd "roman-catholic" "tradition" of  "died on friday, arose on sunday" theorises that Jesus died on "friday" afternoon and was raised from death on "sunday" morning, which is a period of no more than 36 hours, possibly less. Thus, this scenario of "died on friday, arose on sunday" in effect makes Jesus Christ to appear to be a liar [ !! ] since Christ prophesied [ refer to Gospel of Matthew 12 ] that He would be dead for twice the period of time that the absurd "roman-catholic" "tradition" says. The Gospel of John, chapter 19 is additional proof that the "roman-catholic" fable of "died on friday, arose on sunday" is a fallacy.   "The "roman-catholic" organisation is a zone of ignorance and absurdity."
