Re: Easter is about Jesus. Period

Jesus Navas is proud to be a vital part of Easter.

I am not sure why, but I get the feeling that you are making fun of my Personal Lord and Savior(R). I don't appreciate your lame ass attempt at juvenile humor. I suggest that you crack open a Holy KJV1611 and find Jesus.

Now, I'm struggling here, and maybe it's come up already, but do people in the forum think that chocolate crosses are ok, or is eating them a mockery of the Crucifixion of our Lord and therefore blasphemy?

That's a tough one. On one hand, what better way to celebrate our Lord's triumph over death? On the other, it does seem a mockery.

What do you think?

Honestly, I don't think the Apostles would have done it, you don't see them eating chocolate crosses after the Resurrection. Better to err on the side of caution, I suppose, or submit to the wisdom of those who've made a more thorough study of these things. What's chocolate got to do with salvation anyway?

You're probably right, friend. We should likely stick to eating our Savior's holy flesh in the Eucharist.

Do as Christ taught, anyway. It's a real sign of the times that even the rememberance and celebration Lord's Resurrection is an opportunity for heresy and sin to weasel in.

Friend, you are preaching to the choir. No one takes our Savior's temporary death on the cross, Jesus' sweating drops of blood and the eating of His flesh; that is meat indeed, more seriously than we do. Indeed we drink deeply in the Blood of Jesus on our hallowed day of Easter.

Seems to me if you aren't in Church, if you don't believe in the LORD, then your 'celebration' of Easter is really just bold faced mockery. You don't get to jump on the bandwagon just because you like the holiday, same goes for Christmas.

The Bible quite clearly says it is the celebration of passover and our Lord's temporary death. Jesus said Himself that His flesh is meat indeed and His blood is drink indeed. The Passover, of course, being where the angel of death descended on Egypt and killed somewhere around half a million men after God hardened Pharaoh's heart.

I guess depending on which Gospel you follow, Jesus either died before or after the Passover.

We merely celebrate the Eucharist every Sunday by drinking His blood and eating His flesh. Now we will celebrate when He was nailed to a cross and died. Then He rose from the grave. Apparently, some other people did too according to Matthew 27:52-53.

Shout glory!

GLORY

Re: Easter is about Jesus. Period

Sorry to double post, but this needs to be said:

"There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb."

Re: Easter is about Jesus. Period

Bunnies are a Gods creature, too! I don`t thing God approves pics of bunnies smeared out all over the road. Killed.

Besides, i think Jesus LOVES chocolate. And why in the world would God create cocoa if it shouldnt be enjoyed

i love Jesus and i love chocolate. And eggs.
