Do u believe that Jesus died on the cross many years ago ? 📖 📖 📖

@Adstar People must understand the world was way different before and after the great flood

@Adstar In the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights? Let me see... Crucified on Good Friday.. in the late morning? Friday night in the tomb. All of Saturday and night in the tomb. (that's 2 nights and most of 2 days). Early Sunday morning various people go to the tomb and it's empty! That's 2 nights and not quite 2 full days. What am I missing here???

@walabby Don't get the Jesus people riled up, they'll have that pretty head of yours for this!👀

@walabby The Bible does NOT state that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.. That is a false interpretation founded on ignorance of the Sabbaths that where linked to yearly dates and where not the normal 7th day Sabbath.. Jesus was executed on a Wednesday and was placed in the tomb at the start of Wednesday night.. 3 nights and 3 days His body was in the Tomb just as the Prophecy of Jonah states..

Jesus was resurrected at the start of the first Biblical day of the week.. Which started on Saturday Sunset..

There you go.. You now have what you where missing..

@Adstar interesting. So what about the first sunday after a full moons after firstvday of spring?

@Tastyfrzz I have no idea what you are referring to? If it is in the Bible please quote the chapter and verse..

@Adstar When is Easter?
Easter falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April, but working out which Sunday exactly requires an astronomical calculation.

In 2024 Easter Sunday falls on 31 March
The simple standard definition of Easter is that it is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.

Standardisation
Up to the 8th century AD, there was no uniform method for determining the date of Easter, but the method favoured by the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 gradually became the accepted method. The adoption of the Gregorian calendar requires some modifications to this scheme but it is still basically the same.

Unfortunately this simple definition is not strictly speaking correct. The spring or vernal equinox used is not the true equinox but an artificial one always assumed to be on 21 March. The full Moon used is not the true full Moon but an artificial construct based on the Metonic cycle (below).

The reasons for this are that the method is then independent of longitude on the Earth and is thus independent of time zone. It also allows the date of Easter to be calculated in advance regardless of the actual motion of the Earth around the Sun.

Which Easter?
The method quoted here is valid for the determination of the date of Easter in Western Christian churches; the date used by the Eastern churches can be one, four or five weeks later.

Western Christian Easter Dates
2024. 31 March
2025 20 April
2026 5 April
2027 28 March
The Metonic cycle
The Metonic cycle of 19 years is one in which the phases of the Moon repeat exactly. It is thus possible to have a 19-year cycle for the dates of full or new Moon. In the Julian calendar this 19-year cycle can be fairly easily translated into a date for Easter.

In today’s Gregorian calendar the calculation is complicated by the definition of which century years are leap years. These leap years mess up the simple Metonic cycle by altering the number of days in different periods of 19 years.

Algorithm to find the date of Easter
An algorithm to find the date of Easter which is valid from 1900 to 2099 has been derived by Carter as follows:

Calculate D="'225'" - 11(Y MOD 19).

If D is greater than 50 then subtract multiples of 30 until the resulting new value of D is

less than 51.

If D is greater than 48 subtract 1 from it.

Calculate E="'(Y" +' [Y/4] + D + 1) MOD 7. (NB Integer part of [Y/4])

Calculate Q="'D +'" 7 - E.

If Q is less than 32 then Easter is in March. If Q is greater than 31 then Q - 31 is its date in April.

For example, for 1998:

D = 225 - 11*(1998 MOD 19) = 225 - 11*3 = 192

D is greater than 50, therefore:

D = (192 - 5*30) = 42

E = (1998 + [1998/4] + 42 + 1) MOD 7="'2540'" MOD 7="'6'"

Q = 42 + 7 - 6="'43'"

Easter 1998="'43" -' 31="'12" April'

That’s nice and simple then!

@Tastyfrzz Passover is the day Jesus was executed.. Passover Day... And that happened on the 3rd of April in the year 30 CE.. I have no idea why you are bringing up easter.. I don't really care about Easter.. Bunnies and chocolate eggs are not part of the Passover..

@Adstar Just saying that that is how it's defined here. We don't care about Passover.

@Tastyfrzz Well this thread was not about Easter.. If you want to talk about Easter then start your own thread on the topic.. You have only wasted your own time and my time on this thread..
