Discuss Acts 12 Page 3

"Easter" is not correct in Act 12:4
Look at the translation.

Great comments from Jesse. I too feel, without direct Scriptural warrant, that in Heaven the saints will have some consciousness of loved ones left behind or even grieve over the continual depravity of the world, as the Father grieves. The only references I can cite refer to angels who have an interest in us on the Earth; then can we assume that saints who have gone on ahead of us, can likewise 'enjoy' the same vista? Consider: Mt 18:10, Lk 15:10, 1 Cor 4:9, 11:10, 1 Pet 1:12.

I ask this question: when you go to heaven do you see what goes on earth or are you shielded from it?

ANXIETY:

Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus is teaching on cares and worries of this world. Two thousand years later we still need this compassionate sermon. We still worry and feel anxious even tho we know Jesus tells us not to.
It helps me to take time to pray and worship. I sing like a frog.

i want to know the verses about taking someone. also, taking someone at the mid-point of their life. A marine that made it back from Iraq. Just the best guy you could ever meet and just out of the blue he's gone in his sleep (with no help). I want to know why he would take a father of a 6 yr old little girl that worship the ground he walked on. he was 33.

Romans: Romans: 10: v. 20, 21 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me." I have shown myself to those those who did not ask for me. But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
Romans: 11: v. 1-21 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendent of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? 3 "Lord they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left, and they are seeking my life." (Read on..)

This is an often asked question. I then ask:why did God allow bad things to happen to His Son Jesus Christ? And we know that Jesus faced people's anger, hatred, hunger, temptation, misunderstandings, beatings, thorns, spearing and death. If God allowed His only begotten Son to suffer so much, when He did no wrong & without any sin, should we be surprised that we, as good as some might try to be, also suffer? We are all born sinners, even the slightest wrong-doing makes us such. But Jesus did no wrong, even when under severe testing by Satan - yet He suffered. So, the answer is that we all suffer because we are sinners, but now as Christians, we are given His Grace to live above the pain.

Maywest Luke 21 is a good start & 2 Thess chapter 2 is another. look on this site for end times or latter days where they compile many things.

When will we know jesus is coming real soon we are living and the last days

Hi I'm new to this discussion, I recently downloaded the bible app. I'm also a believer of God. Recently I met a young Christian who asked me why does God allow Bad things to happen to good people? Your feedback please...

Hello, I personally don't think it's necessarily a sin, but think panic is a type of fear and fear is the opposite of love and trust in God. So, you could say it shows a lack of love and lack of trust in God, perhaps that of a Christian who is currently immature in their walk with Christ. 1 John 4:18. The Bible has lots of wisdom on fear, peace, trust, hope and someone looking to mature in peace and love should be reading those as practice to become spiritually strong.

Do Christian sin when they panic? If so,why?

I read half of Lamentations night before last. God has bent over backwards to bless them. The apple of his eye. Known the world over as his peculiar people. The envy of the nations. It hurts me that they hurt Him. Resist Him. It gladdens me that many returning Jews that have been saved are evangelizing. Hard to do when you are sheltering from a viral pestilence. May be this disease is from the I WILL that is loose in the world? You can't read Lamentations and not miss the severity of emotion. The last grains of sand in an hour glass fall real fast. Makes me wonder? Let us all pray for a revival. Now when we are confined. I hope you will. Some of Stan Telchin's testimony is on YouTube.

Rome adopted the queen of heaven from the jews mentioned in Jeremiah 7:18

Easter is a pagan name probably from Rome for a demonic deity named ISHTAR. Ishtar is another name for Queen of Heaven. Ishtar and Queen of Heaven can be found in your Bible concordance.
Has nothing to do with bunnies or eggs.

For me,this is the most unproved understanding of the word of god that needs to be settled,did jesus use the term easter,who used it?who is saying easter ,is it the romans?

I advise with love; 2 Timothy 2:15 View whole chapter See verse in context
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Be truthful and a zealot about your Christian faith. Repent daily of your shortcomings and pray in Christ's awesome name: Isaiah 11:2 View whole chapter See verse in context
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Matthew 7:7 Pray and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

I want to know more of the Holy Bible

Hence the name came to be given to the festival "of the Resurrection of Christ, which occured at the time of the" Passover.

Joe...Joseph died and his brother Cleophas marries Mary according to Levirate marriage. Jesus, the first born, transfers His inheritance to John Mark to take care of His mother after His death. John Mark takes care of Mary when Cleophas dies. Acts 12:12 ...he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark ...

pastor elijah the reason for easter is acts 12-4 cannot be the passover passover was begore the days of unleavened bread not after. herod was waiting for easter the feast of ishtar which in greek is pascha he was not waiting for the passover herod was a wicked pagan king he would not celebrate passover but pagan easter. kjv is accurate go to david daniels chick publications . GOD BLESS

The name of the day, that we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, is of no concern to True Believers. Nor is what some men have named this particular day, or the origins of the name. What is important is the celebration of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, rising from the dead on the third day. Literally conquering sin and death for all mankind. Don't get snared in Satan's distractions.

Easter is a pagan day, Ishtar, which has crept into the Christian church. concerning the scripture in ch 12 here, the confusion is between the Passover and the days of Unleavened Bread, we need to note that passover was before the days of unleavened bread, and Herod was waiting to bring Peter out after the days of unleavened bread or pascha-which may have been easter.

The events in the Bible occur on Jewish high and feast days. We have the Passover for his Crucifixion, he rose on the feast of Firstfruits which was the first day of the week after passover. He did not rise on Easter. Easter has nothing to do with Christianity; it is a pagan holy day for the spring solstice which just happens to be at the same time of year as Passover and the feast of Firstfruits.

Hi there,
I would like to ask this question to get more clarifications.
My question is as follow; Why in the KJV 1611 especially in Acts: 12:4 this Version changed the word "PASSOVER to EASTER?"

GOD ALWAYS DELIVER HIS PEOPLE.HIS WORDS SAID STAND STILL AND HE WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLE.AMEN.HE'S A GREAT GOD.PETER HAVE A LOT OF FAITH.

Matt 9 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Hello Ray; How many amazing and powerful answers to prayer have we seen! Things that others would easily say, Oh No Way! But yes, I think we just don't get it much we mean to the Lord, and how much then our prayers ARE HEARD! We are the salt of the earth, that only [little] thing that keeps the whole earth from completely rotting and stinking and becoming worthless corruption. Read Psalm 149:6-9

Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Prayer is so important, by praying, we can move mountains.

Peter was chain between two soldiers, angel of the lord came and smote him gird thyself and bind on thy sandals. God is awesome, think about this verse. Peter chain between two soldiers.
