Elle, The Wanderer asked:

I answered.
Do you see a problem with that?

I do see a problem with that.

The Wanderer, being new here, doesn't know everyone and was only nice to you despite your attempt to veer off the discussion. You've been here as long as I ... how many years is it -- almost 10 years now. You know as well as I about how prominent topic hi-jacking is despite the many attempts of a moderator and other members that tries to bring it back on track.

I'm glad that the Wanderer did kindly bring us back to the topic.

The problem I see is you, and many others here, that should know very well by now that you should start a new topic if you want to talk about something else that cannot be resolved in a few posts. And Moderator dedication, who should make sure topics stays on track, have no excuse and should not be found contributing in it to any great extend. I think she should repent, or be striped off of her authority that Daryl has entrusted her with.

There's no need to hi-jack topics...unless your goal is to confuse matters and divert the topic at hand. I'm sure no one wants to do that, right?

Awesome! Good to hear my friend. We have a point in common to build on! More later.

The best answer that I have to some of the "Easter Questions" would be a short continuance in exploring Christ and Him crucified; for as I earlier said, that is the whole point of the resurrection. May God add His blessing to the reading of His Word, and His testimonies:

Remember in another thread you mentioned;

Arguments that use truth to prove an untruth?

That is exactly what was, and still is being done with the glorious truth of the resurrection of Christ, it is being used to prove an untruth!

In your last post you quoted:
"It is only in the light of the cross that we can discern the exalted character of the law of God. The soul palsied by sin can be endowed with life only through the work wrought out upon the cross by the Author of our salvation.--Manuscript 31, 1890. {7ABC 458.1}

Add to that:
"The cross of Christ testifies to the immutability of the law of God--testifies that God so loved us that He gave His Son to die for our sins; ... God's moral standard could not be changed to meet man in his fallen condition. {1SM 312.2}

Yet how has this been reversed in the Christian world?




To see the reality of how the resurrection was used to disannul God's law, just consider Pope John Paul II' Sunday keeping letter.

APOSTOLIC LETTER
DIES DOMINI
OF THE HOLY FATHER
JOHN PAUL II

He begins the letter with this:



His second point


The third point in the popes' letter:


Moving to point 19 of the pope's letter on Sunday keeping:




And from another Catholic author explaining why Easter was kept after Passover:




As pointed out in an earlier post, this didn't happen immediately -- many Christians held a memorial celebration for Christ's death and resurrection on their Passover dates. Easter had to be "decreed" to enforce it on all Christianity 300 years later.
Sunday was brought in using the truth of Christ's resurrection to establish a false Sabbath -- that's what Easter has done.
First by moving the time for a memorial of Christ's death and resurrection away from its Passover location in the calendar, to a perpetual yearly Sunday, and then keeping every weekly sunday in honor of the resurrection.
The word "Easter" is not a Biblical word, it is in no original manuscripts.

Elle, answering his question is my "attempt to veer off the discussion"? Really, you think that?
(Well, seeing that you claim the same against me for answering your questions, I guess so...)

Elle, I didn't want to start a new topic. I was answering a question. I thought it was a legitimate question. Guess you don't.

If you want to start a new topic about how answering questions should be counted as sidetracking, go ahead.

Quit hi-jacking this thread.

Just keep in mind that these are not my thoughts on the matter, although I do appreciate the vote of confidence. I will continue posting along the veins of truth regarding the cross and the resurrection; for that remains my primary interest in this topic.

I do apologize if I posted off topic. I didn't mean too. I really thought I was on topic.

Thankyou I appreciate that I also do apologize, as there are ways I could have made myself/intentions more clear to everyone. This is the kind of posting, that, perhaps, falls within the category of the topic. Jesus did not play the blame game; except to take our blame upon Himself. Its good to see His pattern being reflected in some of the posting here.

- more coming soon.

Of course, you do state some truth about something I posted in another topic, which I appreciate. Thank you.

It should be noted that since i started this topic, I should be the one who knows for sure why i started it and what my intentions are. There simply is no need for further debate on this. I underlined in red above the question I did not once ask; to illustrate what I mean specifically by that.

FYI I refer to the OP and what I did state clearly:
