Errors of Christianity and Judaism- How G-d's People Errantly Changed His Biblical Feast Days To Pagan Holidays

Hello to you all. I previously posted this topic back in 2011, and have now revised it.

This week, we are celebrating "Passover Week". It represents the Life, Death and Resurrection of our Messiah/ YHVH's Son, Y'shua. Pesach, or Passover, began at Sundown on Mon, April 14th, 2014.

In the Year of our L-rd, Y'shua's Crucifixion, 31 A.D, He was actually crucified on a Wednesday, was buried at Sundown, that day, and rose after the Weekly Sabbath was over. This means that the L-rd would have risen three days later. So, He would have risen on that Saturday, at Sundown; not Sunday at Sunrise.

Watch the second video below, "Three Days and Three Nights", from BeyondToday.tv, for more astounding evidence.

So, this year, Resurrection Day fell on Thurs, April 17th; not on Easter Sunday, at all.

 (Today, in our time, Passover and Resurrection Day fall on different days each year, because the calendar G-d entrusted to the Jews is different from the Gregorian Calendar that we use in the United States, and other parts of the world).

G-d entrusted His Calendar to the Jews, but, it is His Calendar, and not just for the Jews. He chose the Jewish people to be lights to the nations, so that all the peoples of the Earth would praise and worship the Almighty G-d and Creator of the Universe.


Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of G-d. G-d's glory is found in His Word. And the Word is G-d. Throughout the years, the Word of G-d has been misinterpreted, misrepresented and misused so many times that I can't even count.

Please see the chart below for more information on how both Jews and Christians have changed G-d's Word, over time.

Many Christians are preparing to celebrate the pagan Holiday called "Easter". We have been told that pagans infiltrated the L-rd's Resurrection Day, when it was really the "Early Church Fathers", who brought in the Apostasy, after the Apostles had left the scene. I've included some YouTube videos for your viewing.

Here's a very good video that explains The Biblical Calendar/G-d's Calendar,
some of the changes that were made to it, what calendars most of the world is
using today, and how we can get in-sync with G-d's Calendar, in our daily lives.




Also, here's a copy of a Messianic Jewish Calendar. It's converts Gregorian Calendar days to the Biblical Calendar Days, and even tells you exactly when G-d's Feasts Days are to be kept.

I hope you have been touched by this post, and, as you ponder on what you've read and seen, YHVH Elohim will continue to lead you into the Truth.
It is also my hope that you too, (if you are not yet), will begin to celebrate Passover and G-d's Feast Days, as He desires. It will surely bless you.

School Stabbing Spree Wounds 20 in Pittsburgh & some facts on Gun Control-Are Guns Really The Problem?

Another tragedy has hit a United States school; another horrible act of violence. This time it was a school stabbing, and not a school shooting.

Here's an excerpt from NBC News:
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/school-stabbing-spree/school-stabbing-spree-20-hurt-pittsburgh-area-bloodbath-n75536
A student flashing two knives went on a stabbing rampage through the classrooms and halls of a high school outside Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning, authorities said. At least 19 students and a security guard were hurt, some with life-threatening injuries.
The suspect, a 16-year-old sophomore, was in custody and being questioned by police, authorities said. His motive was unclear, said Dan Stevens, a Westmoreland County emergency management spokesman.



 After reading this story, I could only imagine what it was like for all the victims involved.
We, who were not there, could only think that this was a scene straight out of a horror movie; something surreal.

But for those who were there, this was very real. 19 students and a security guard were badly hurt; some with life-threatening injuries. (Please keep them all in your prayers)

In times like these, we search for the answers to the question, "Why"? I just want to touch bases on the topic of this blog post. First, I want to say, that it breaks my heart that we live in a world where our children can't feel safe; where violence has taken over our lives in such an astonishing way.

Next, I have to say: Guns are not the problem


It is the spiritual state of man, his human heart, and the free will that a human has, that causes one to either become violent, or not. Little by little, our society is replacing the Law of God with humanism.

Our government wants to stop the violence by banning guns, while blocking the spiritual need to allow humans to connect with their Creator. They make secular laws that take God out of schools, separate Church and State, and add their New Age Humanistic Ideaology. Then, they try to find a solution to a spiritual problem, with these methods; Gun control is just one.

I must state that, while guns do hurt, wound and even kill others at a faster rate, banning them certainly will not stop the violence.
A violent person could obviously use any kind of weapon, to hurt someone.

I personally believe that we need our Creator to save us from all of this evil and violence. But, God will not force His salvation upon us.  We, who are believers need to:


  • Pray- pray to God for His Mercy during these evil times; for strength to endure them, and for the message that He has for us to share with those who are lost in them. Pray for our leaders, our nation, our schools, our children, parents, teachers, all across the land.
  • Be guided by the Holy Spirit of God- pray in the Spirit; pray with God's guidance, and then, be humble to do what He leads us to do.
  • Educate-Continue to seek knowledge and wisdom about what really is the problem with our society; get involved with others who are doing the same, and spread this knowledge to others.


In closing, I pray that the Day will come quickly, when our Lord and Savior, Yahshua Ha Moshiach/Jesus Christ will return and save us from all that is wrong in this world. May He richly bless you, and keep you all, until the Day of His Return.

YHVH bless you in your education endeavors. Thanks always for visiting. Your comments or questions are welcome. You may post them below.
