This is a prime location 150 m from the beach and 400 m from the centre of Bois Beach (daily morning market) without any of the inconveniences of summer hustle and bustle. It is peaceful, with little road traffic and a stone's throw from the heavenly fine sandy beach. It is ideal for swimming and all water sports. Both young and older people love to relax here at any time of the day.
It offers all comfort, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bathtub, two shower cubicles, two toilets, and a large terrace with stone barbecue.
The private pool has a security gate and a corner staircase. An robot vacuum cleaner cleans the pool.
Only 40 m away is a square, a children's playground, a basketball court, a beach volleyball court, a boules ground, and swimming lessons.
We are 400 metres from all shops and services, from a well-known market that is bustling every morning, a bakery, a butcher's, a fishmonger's, a supermarket, a newsagent / bookshop, a bank, an A TM the post office, the tourist information centre, the library, riding stables, etc.
We are 3 km from Saint-Martin Harbour with abundant restaurants.
Everything is close by; forget your car for a while.
I was born on the Île de Ré near Bois Beach. I remain very fond of my home village, despite having been away for many years. The extensive, fine sandy beach facing southwest is outstanding. Since where we were born is a place like this we know to go and we long to go back.
After having been away for a number of years, I have had to come back when possible.
Ms. Jaufrais Annie purchased this house in 2006
This is an easy to live in: bright and spacious, with privacy for all guests and a well-equipped kitchen, with plenty of dinnerware.
A short drive takes you to the beach, the square, a boules ground, the basketball court, the beach volleyball court, Club Mickey children's club, the market, and shopping destinations. We are close to the amenities including a bakery, a newspaper stand a bank, a library, and summer activities.
This is a lovely house in excellent condition and very well equipped for all requirements. It is a great location near a beautiful beach and just a short distance from the village. The pool is lovely, unfortunately the weather was not. This was no fault of the owners who were most pleasant, kind and welcoming. They were most helpful to us any time we asked for assistance. I would highly recommend renting this lovely house from the very accommodating owners.
We really enjoyed our 2 week stay in this very comfortable house in Le Bois Plage in July 2011. We have 3 young children and the house was very suitable for us. The house is well equipped, the garden is secure and the pool was safe with a security fence. It was delightful to enjoy meals on the sun drenched terrace. The house is within walking distance of a lovely beach and the village with the daily market. We did not need a car. The owners are very welcoming and accomodating.

Joseph P, it kind of depends on the size of the star that he was trying to collapse doesn't it? Our sun for instance, is much smaller than many other stars in the universe. An extreme example would be VY Canis Majoris. Between 5.8 and 9.2 billion of our suns could fit inside of it. Also consider the fact that we could fit 1,300,000 earths into our sun. So doing a little math, we could fit between 7.54*10^15 and 1.196*10^16 earths into VY Canis Majoris. Now we can assume that the Romulan star is probably not as big as VY Canis Majoris but this should give us a little perspective on size. Do we know if the Vulcan home-world is even as big as earth? This is all assuming that the effectiveness of the red matter only depends on the mass of the object that it has to collapse. What about gravity and heat, couldn't those play a factor too?
Europa Report.
Gravity. Coming October 2013.
One drop is enough to suck a planet into a black hole, though. A 5' sphere of the stuff is all kinds of overkill.
I haven't seen the second one, but I loved the first one. I was always a TNG fan though. I watched Voyager and Deep Space 9 but I didn't think either of those were that great.
He was trying to implode a star before it went supernova and engulfed the Romulan home world.
There's a big difference between blowing up a planet and imploding it into a black hole. Yeah, totally different plot device ...
What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to have a ship with a freaking 5' diameter sphere full of liquid that can cause the destruction of a sun or a planet, with just one drop.
Did they ever explain what Spock was doing with enough "red matter" to extinguish a galaxy, carted around on a dinky personal ship? I forget.
Anyway, I know what you mean. The first four iterations of Star Trek were a series of morality plays, even if Voyager sucked at it. Enterprise, and this new reboot series of movies are space opera. Totally different format.
Maybe it's me, but the last one seemed too much like Star Wars to me and while a couple of trailers of the new movie coming out seems like it might be good, there are a couple that have the feel of Star Wars to me. I never was a Star Wars fan. The problem with the last one is they blew up Vulcan and in Star Wars, they blew up a planet too. I guess I will always be a TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY fan. I didn't see ENT as Star Trek either. At times, it had a modern feel to it and other times it seemed close to now, with a few Vulcans and other aliens thrown in just so they could call it Star Trek. I must say though, I did like the Southern Boy and Vulcan touch, but was very angry about the racism concerning them being together and all.
How does Nimoy get himself out of check and checkmate Quinto at the same time?
Technically, he could have moved a piece to block the check, allowing a piece that had previously been blocked by the piece he moved to put the other king into check and mate. In reality, that's very unlikely in normal chess, in a game between skilled players, although I don't know the rules of Vulcan chess.
Yeah, I really enjoy games like the Grand Theft Auto series. There are lots of gay jokes, but they're usually not really anti-gay jokes, mostly just mocking our culture's recent fascination with gay people. Florian Kravic is ... very flaming, but he's a fun character, and Nico Bellic (the protagonist) is surprised at the changes, including the homosexuality, but he takes it all in stride and is non-judgemental.
Plus, the storyline of the second expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony, revolves around this gay club owner and his right-hand man, Luis. Yeah, Gay Tony is a messed up coke-head, but most of the main characters in the series are more than a little messed up.
There are several characters who do all sorts of gay-bashing ... generally the people who you're supposed to hate, particularly the guy who you end up killing in the last mission. Luis (the person you play as) takes a lot of shit from his friends about working for a gay guy, but they're a bunch of uneducated, drug-dealing reprobates from the hood who you're not supposed to want to emulate.
The writers of the series do a decent job of walking a line, I think. If you stay fully PC, you can't do very interesting stuff.

Here's my first take...Originally Posted by rycanada
Wall of Fire (General)
Prerequisites: Caster level 6th, ability to cast an Evocation [fire] spell.
Benefit: Once per day, you may cast wall of fire at your caster level.
(design note: The wording on this one is deliberately set up to allow Druids and Fire domain clerics to gain access to it, and I think it's possible for a warlock to as well.)
Cone of Cold (General)
Prerequisites: Arcane caster level 5, ability to cast 3rd-level Evocation spells.
Benefit: Cone of cold is considered to be a 3rd level arcane spell for you in all respects, and can deal up to 10d6 damage.
Special: If you cast spells spontaneously, cone of cold is added to your list of spells known.
(design note: I've never been able to figure out why Cone of Cold was higher-level than Fireball -- 60ft cones are almost always worse than 20ft radius targeted bursts, and both fire and cold are commonly resisted energy types. Plus, I like the symmetry of having a 120ft lightning line, a 20ft fire burst, and a 60ft cold cone as 3rd level evocation spells -- all that's missing is a 3rd level conjuration acid ranged touch attack, but sadly Orb of Acid isn't SRD.)
Here's two more freebies:
Ice Storm (General)
Prerequisites: Caster level 6, ability to cast an Evocation [Cold] spell.
Benefit: Once per day, you may cast ice storm at your caster level.
(Once again, prereqs are opened up for clerics and druids.)
Alignment Master (General)
Prerequisites: Cleric level 6, ability to cast spells from either the Good, Evil, Law, or Chaos domains.
Benefit: Choose one of your alignment domains. Once per day, you gain the ability to cast your 4th level domain spell using your divine caster level.
Special: This feat may be taken multiple times. Each time it applies to a different domain.
(I don't like alignment myself, but it's a feature of D&D3.5 at the moment, and the spells aren't overpowered and give clerics something fun to do.)

Could we make a simliar spell feat and call it something else? Like "Acidic Burst"?Originally Posted by Kunimatyu

Of course. Doing so in a non-clunky fashion may be hard, however.Originally Posted by Hrothgar Rannúlfr
Since it'll have no saving throw, level isn't that important, and neither is school. It ignores SR, so having it as a supernatural ability rather than a spell would streamline things(although nobody realizes that about supernatural abilities, so perhaps it wouldn't).
So, d6 x caster level, close range, acid touch attack, 3rd level slot, and ignores SR are the important things. Let's try:
Acid Blast (General)
Prerequisites: Arcane caster level 5, ability to cast Conjuration[acid] spells.
Benefit: By expending a 3rd level spell slot, you may fire an orb of acid as a ranged touch attack. The orb has a range of 25 feet plus 5 feet per two caster levels, and deals 1d6 acid damage per caster level, maximum 10d6. The orb ignores Spell Resistance, and is treated as a 3rd level Conjuration[acid] spell in all respects.
Special: If you prepare arcane spells, you may prepare Acid Blast as if it was a 3rd level spell.

I'd just make up a spell. 3rd level, 10' radius acid splash, 1d4/level, half damage next round, or something. Maybe a brief status effect.
(still going back & forth on E8 vs. E6... whether 'tis easier to nerf/ change/ ban existing spells or grandfather in a bunch of others via feats, aye, that is the question; that and a few others)

I really like this concept...
As a DM I always start to get "bored" of my current campaign once it bounces out of this level range...
I think I'm going to try this, but IO'm also going to add in a few things that I got from Monte Cooke's website... Most importantly the minor and major feats idea... Instead of just one feat you can take one major or two minor feats... (Minor feats being things that give you cool abilities but which most likely won't come into play all tat much...)
Monday, 10th September, 2007, 11:36 PM #97
Player psychology is also very important here. Making it seem like options are open, then banning them, tends to annoy people more than a known restriction at the outset, even if a few exceptions creep in.Originally Posted by Imp
My own feelings swing towards E6, because I'd prefer to exclude 4th level spells, and then slowly bring a few of them back in.
Here's my basic rubric for including 4/5th level spells in E6:
1) Is there a spell of levels 1-3 that does basically the same thing?
2) Does the effect of this spell realistically require an opposing magic user to neutralize its effects?
3) Is the effect of this spell significantly out-of-line with the effects of a 3rd level spell?
If you can answer "No." to all three, the spell is probably a decent candidate for conversion.

Well, I've already stepped in it as far as removing spells goes, having taken out a smattering of 2nd and even 1st-level spells, not even necessarily because they're overpowered, but because they do wonky things to the flavor of the setting. F'rex, I cannot reconcile a "low-magic" feel with enlarge person, which isn't overpowered, but it's just freaky as a standard low-level buff. But you are making good points, Kunimatyu, thanks.

Maybe I've overlooked the explanation, but why do you call this "E6"? I figure the 6 is for level six, but what is the "E"?
Is it legal to edit the SRD down and post it (for free)?

I wondered the same thing when I first started reading E6 threads. It took me a long while to find the answer, but the 'E' is for epic. Characters become epic at 6th level (compared to everyone else, I guess), so...E6.

If I had to buy my wife any of those, I think the stockings in the first two pics would have been my choice. (both of them)
Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day.
Hi Colin!
Thanks for stopping by and for the tweet. Those two pairs of stockings are my favorites too. :)
I love browsing SIL, they have such glamorous things! I've had my eye on the satin button front teddy for a while now, great selections.
I just love SiL stuff. The difficulty is just restricting your orders to a size that can easily be posted. If they had a local store I would in there all day.

Get The Butterfly Code (Part One) For Free Now
(Part One contains the first 13 chapters)
My friends say Hunter Cayman's dangerous.
They say he's a threat to everyone in town.
I'm not so sure.
As he stands before me in this crowded club with the lights shining around us, I catch something good under Hunter's dark facade. Something decent and profound.
I don't know who or what to believe.
But I will find out the truth.
Aeris Thorne is expecting a restful vacation in the remote town of Deep Cove. But on a stormy night, she meets the alluring and mysterious Hunter Cayman, and her life takes an exhilarating turn.
Aeris is both drawn to him and determined to find out what he's hiding in his lab on the promontory. But what Aeris doesn't know is that he's tormented by a secret: the truth behind his research.
As he and Aeris are drawn together, the walls he's built to protect himself threaten to crumble. At the same time, she begins to wonder if she's found the key to unraveling her own tragic past. When Aeris's life is threatened, Hunter is forced to make an impossible decision about her future--one that could change everything.

On Wednesday Governor Jerry Brown appointed Sylvia Torres-Guillen to a new job as special counsel in his office. Torres-Guillen had served as general counsel for the ALRB since 2011. In recent years the board has been at the center of controversy over a case involving Fresno's Gerawan Farming and the United Farm Workers union, including a disputed 2013 decertification election. Appeals Court Gives Win To Fresno Grower In Ag Labor Fight By Joe Moore • May 14, 2015 Diana Aguilera / Valley Public Radio A state appeals court has delivered a legal victory to a Fresno-based fruit grower in a decades old fight with the state's ag labor relations board and the UFW. But as FM89's Joe Moore reports, it's likely not the final ruling. New Heat Regulations Aim To Protect California Workers By Katie Orr - Capital Public Radio • Apr 28, 2015 With summer approaching, the state California is implementing new rules to protect outdoor workers. Revised heat safety regulations from Cal-OSHA take effect May 1st. Among the regulations, workers must have easy access to free, cool water. And supervisors and workers must also be trained to recognize and react to signs of heat illness. Amy Martin is Chief Counsel of Cal-OSHA. She says the rules also require that shade be made available when the temperature reaches 80 degrees, which is five degrees cooler than the previous requirement. New Scrutiny For Brown's Retiree Health Care Proposal As Labor Talks Begin By Ben Adler - Capital Public Radio • Mar 18, 2015 Creative Commons licensed from Flickr user Glenngould / http://www.flickr.com/photos/for_tea_too/1957375742/ A new report from the non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office criticizes California Governor Jerry Brown's proposed overhaul of state worker retiree health care benefits – just as labor negotiations are getting under way. Ben Adler has more from Sacramento. California faces more than $70 billion in unfunded retiree health care for state workers – and the governor says it's time to act. Here's Brown in January on NPR. Citrus Growers Say Port Dispute Could Be Worse Than Freeze By Jason Scott • Feb 18, 2015 Joe Moore / Valley Public Radio The labor conflict that has clogged west coast ports in recent weeks has the Valley's citrus industry on edge. FM 89's Jason Scott reports. Agricultural products from the Valley that should be making their way to countries like China, Japan, and Australia are sitting on the docks of west coast ports due to a labor dispute. While the ports reopened Tuesday, their shutdown over the weekend has caused a slowdown that has growers worried. Robots Could Be Headed To Central Valley Farms By Lesley McLurg - Capital Public Radio • Jan 23, 2015 Steve Fennimore / UC Davis Robots may soon be pulling weeds on Central Valley farms. At UC Davis researchers have received $2.7 million dollars from the USDA to study how new technology could replace field labor. Automated devices pick cotton. Machines shake nut trees. But, there are a three tasks for which farmers rely solely on humans. David Slaughter: "These include hand weeding, thinning and harvesting." David Slaughter is the lead researcher working on robotic cultivators. Central Valley Anti-Union Farm Workers Protest In Sacramento By Diana Aguilera • Jan 22, 2015 Diana Aguilera / Valley Public Radio Central Valley farm workers rallied today in Sacramento against what they say is a violation of their rights. About 20 anti-union farm workers showed up at the state capitol protesting against the Agricultural Labor Relations Board and the United Farm Workers. The group says the union and the ALRB are denying employees of Fresno-based Gerawan Farming their rights by forcing them into a union contract. In 2013, company employees held a union decertification election, but the votes have yet to be counted after allegations the company interfered with the process. Fresno, FPOA Reach Agreement On Early Contract Extension By Joe Moore • Sep 5, 2014 Joe Moore / Valley Public Radio The City of Fresno has reached an early contract agreement with the union representing Fresno police officers. If ratified by the members of the Fresno Police Officers Association, the deal would extend the current contract to 2017. It would also include a two percent salary increase in 2015 and another in 2016. The city would pay 75 percent of employee health care costs, with any future increases shared equally between the city and the union. It would also increase the amount current employees pay for retiree pensions by two percent. California Bill Would Tackle Laborers' Working Conditions By Kerry Klein • Aug 21, 2014 Photo used under Creative Commons from Andy Patterson / Modern Relics / http://www.flickr.com/photos/modernrelics/4461010654/ Many California agricultural workers aren't employed directly by farmers, but by labor contractors. Now a new bill in the California legislature would bring about more protections for those workers, but as FM89's Kerry Klein reports, it's also the source of controversy. ----- California Assembly Committee Passes Farm Worker Sexual Harassment Bill By Max Pringle - Capital Public Radio • Jun 25, 2014 Andrew Nixon / Capital Public Radio A California Assembly committee passed a bill Wednesday that would give the state the power to revoke the licenses of farm labor contractor's if they hire supervisors who have sexually harassed workers.

I'm installing wordpress alongside my hosted website (liftology dot net). I have a navigation bar with 'blog' as an option. You choose 'blog', then 'product page', and you get the index.php where wordpress should be. I included the correct php headers, I grabbed a basic loop example from the "Integrating WordPress with Your Website" tutorial, and all I get is the "hello world" post. When I log into my dashboard under posts I have my test post and that's it. There's no "hello world" post that I can delete.
I installed wordpress through Godaddy and they had me make a wordpress username and password. Is it possible that it isn't tied to wordpress correctly? I just re-installed wordpress today and made sure i'm using the same username and password i'm using at wordpress, but it is very strange that godaddy is making me create new login information when I install wordpress, as apposed to me linking it to a wordpress account. Feel free to visit the site if it helps.

Harvesting losses: One benefit of a correction
Taking losses on investments may be especially attractive this year—even if you didn't have gains to offset.
- Fidelity Viewpoints
- – 09/09/2015
Selling investments that have lost value can be a useful tax-reduction strategy for investors in any year. But it may be especially attractive this year in light of the late-summer stock market correction. The strategy, called tax-loss harvesting, means selling stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have lost value to help reduce taxes on capital gains from winning investments. (Of course, you don't want to undermine your long-term investing goals by selling an investment just for tax purposes.)
For investors who realized capital gains in 2015, August's broad market sell-off may provide opportunities for offsetting a significant portion of those gains. Even if you don't have gains, selling depreciated investments after a correction could generate losses that can be carried forward to offset gains in future years or can reduce ordinary income in the current year by up to $3,000.
Tax-loss harvesting can be beneficial for active traders, as well as those who perform an annual portfolio rebalancing. Rebalancing is a key to ensuring your investment mix (stocks, bonds, and short-term investments) is aligned to your investment time frame, financial needs, and comfort with volatility. This year, because of the correction, portfolio rebalancing may generate opportunities for tax savings in addition to bringing your holdings back in line with your investment goals.
Whatever type of investor you are, planning ahead and starting early to evaluate a tax-loss harvesting strategy can help you maximize the potential benefits.
How much can you save with tax-loss harvesting?
The size of the potential benefit from tax-loss harvesting depends on your income level and the amount of your short- and long-term capital gains, minus any current losses that you may have already realized or any losses carried forward from other years.
Short-term capital gains are those realized from investments that you have owned for one year or less, and they're taxed at the marginal rate you pay on ordinary income. The top marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 39.6%. For 2015, it applies to couples filing jointly with income above $464,850, and single taxpayers with income above $413,200. For those subject to the net investment income tax (NIIT), which is 3.8%, the effective rate can be as high as 43.4%. And with state and local income taxes added in, the rates can become even higher.
Long-term capital gains, those realized from investments held for more than a year, are taxed at significantly lower rates. You won't owe any long-term capital gains tax if your 2015 taxable income is below $74,900 and you are married filing jointly, or $37,450 if you are a single filer. For the majority of taxpayers—those with taxable income between $74,901 and $464,850 (married, joint filers) and $37,451 and $413,200 (single filers)—the long-term capital gains rate is 15%.
High-income taxpayers, on the other hand, are subject to higher rates. If your taxable income is more than $464,850 (married joint filers), or $413,200 (single filers), your marginal rate for long-term capital gains is at least 20%.
Again, when the 3.8% NIIT comes into play, the actual long-term capital gains tax rate for high earners can be as much as 23.8%, and the actual rate applied to other investment income can be as high as 43.4%. The NIIT is levied on the lesser of net investment income or the amount by which modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $250,000 for couples filing jointly, and $200,000 for single filers.
For example, a couple with MAGI of $270,000, of which $50,000 was net investment income, would owe the 3.8% surtax on $20,000 (the amount by which their MAGI exceeded the $250,000 threshold, which is less than the $50,000 in net investment income). If the couple had $330,000 in MAGI, of which $50,000 was net investment income, they would pay the surtax on $50,000 (the amount of their net investment income, which is less than the $80,000 excess of their MAGI over the $250,000 threshold).
Prioritizing your tax savings
To help maximize your tax savings, you should apply as much of your capital loss as possible to short-term gains, because they are taxed at a higher marginal rate. This is particularly true for high-income investors.
For example, if you're in the top tax bracket, the difference between short- and long-term gains can be as high as 19.6% (43.4% versus 23.8%). However, if you're in the 25% tax bracket—$74,901 to $151,200 for joint filers and $37,451 to $90,750 for singles—the difference between the short- and long-term gains rate is 10% (25% versus 15%).
According to the tax code, short- and long-term losses must be used first to offset gains of the same type. But if your losses of one type exceed your gains of the same type, then you can apply the excess to the other type. For example, if you were to sell a long-term investment at a $15,000 loss but had only $5,000 in long-term gains for the year, you could apply the $10,000 excess to any short-term gains.
Realizing a capital loss can be effective even if you didn't have realized capital gains of either type this year. The tax code allows you to apply up to $3,000 a year in capital losses to reduce ordinary income, which is taxed at the same rate as short-term capital gains and nonqualified dividends. If you still have capital losses after applying them first to capital gains and then to ordinary income, you can carry them forward for use in future years.
The least effective implementation of a tax-loss harvesting strategy, on the other hand, would be to apply short-term capital losses to long-term capital gains. But, depending on the circumstances, that may still be preferred over paying the long-term capital gains tax.
Keep in mind
Don't let lowering your current-year taxes undermine a diversified investment portfolio. A tax-loss harvesting strategy should always fit with your overall investment strategy. Good candidates for tax-loss harvesting are depreciated investments that no longer fit your strategy, that have poor prospects for future growth, or that can be replaced by other investments that are similar (but not exact matches) to the ones you are considering selling.
It is possible to sell a depreciated investment that you still want in your portfolio by investing the proceeds from the sale in another asset that is not "substantially identical" (as defined by the IRS), then selling it and buying back the original investment more than 30 days after the sale date. If you repurchase the investment too soon or invest in something the IRS deems substantially identical to the original security, such as a call option on it, the IRS "wash sale" rule will generally disallow the loss deduction. There's also a risk that the substitute investment you buy will increase in value during the 30-day waiting period, and you'll realize a short-term gain if you sell it. On the other hand, if the substitute does not rise in price over the 31-plus-day period, but the original asset does, you may miss out on some of the gain.
If you want to maintain exposure to the industry covered by the stock you held at a loss, you might consider substituting an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that targets that industry, after making a tax-loss harvest sale. Read Viewpoints: "Tax-loss harvesting using ETFs."
What to do now—and next year
If you plan to implement a tax-loss harvesting strategy to offset a portion of your gains, be sure to research your records carefully on any asset you are considering selling. You'll want to be certain about the cost basis (the price you paid to purchase a security plus any additional costs, such as broker's fees or commissions) of your depreciated investments—which determines the extent of your loss—before you make your move. To check the amount of capital gains and losses in your nonretirement Fidelity accounts—and determine whether they're short term or long term—use our tax loss harvesting tool (login required).
Also, take some time to determine how changes in the value of your investments within your portfolio have affected your mix of investments. Routine portfolio rebalancing is recommended for keeping your portfolio aligned with your goals. It often provides an opportunity to reexamine lagging performers that could be candidates for tax-loss harvesting.
Ideally, tax planning should be a year-round activity, and that includes tax-loss harvesting. Keeping good records will help you track your cost basis and anticipate any capital gains tax liability long before the end of the year.
Also keep in mind that selling a depreciated investment that no longer has a place in your portfolio can be a good move even if you don't anticipate having capital gains to offset it. You can use the proceeds to invest in something with better prospects that may better suit your needs. The loss can be used to lower your tax bill through reducing ordinary income by $3,000, or carried over into future years if not needed immediately.

Skip to comments.Glenn Beck, 8/28, Harold Camping, Passion Week Prophecy
Posted on 08/27/2010 7:54:52 PM PDT by The Theophilus
Harold Camping has recently given us his assurances that with the proper calculations we can be confident in our expectations to see the return of our LORD on May 21, 2011. Dispensationalists have the well earned reputation in providing us with date settings, and through the myriad of prophecy conferences where self-proclaimed experts are willing to share their updates in exchange for our time and money, I thought, as a Realized Millennialist, how can I get in on this action ?
So with heavy borrowing of the Dispensationalists ad hoc hermeneutics and with a dose of old fashioned interpretation of orthodox doctrines, I would like to take another recent phenomena event and apply a Dispensationalist interpretation template upon it and demonstrate how Camping may be correct in his late Spring prognostication.
As we all know, being that the United States has the greatest population density of Christians in the world, and because the United States is Israels best friend and ally, it is perfectly acceptable to read Old Testament Prophecies and insert contemporary leaders and events into the prophetic statements of Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah. Within the borders of the United States, there is a denomination that has recently claimed to be Christian, insisting that we, the traditional visible Church, set aside our minor theological differences because saving America from the heathen Progressives is more important than quibbling over petty things like the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the nature of God.
In the past few years, a prominent radio and television personality, a professing Mormon, has organized a Faith Rally to be held in Washington D.C. on August 28th, 2010. This article will take the Scriptures, the Dispensational Hermeneutic, and Glenn Becks 8/28 Washington D.C. Rally and prove beyond doubt to the high standards of todays Evangelical Prophecy Students Harold Campings bold prophetic announcement. In Mormon folklore, there is a not well substantiated claim that on or about May 6, 1843 in the presence of at least two Mormons, Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley, the founder of the Latter Day Saints movement, Joseph Smith, stated in effect that the time would come when the Constitution of our country would hang as it were by a thread, and that the Latter-day Saints above all other people in the world would come to the rescue of that great and glorious palladium of our liberty (Conference Report, October 1912, p.10)
This has since then been referred to as the White Horse Prophecy where the legend has evolved to a state where one man who has ears to hear and eyes to see can discern by the Spirit and through the words of Gods mouthpiece that our liberties are being taken (Conference Report, April 1963, p.113) will rise up and restore the Constitution and the liberties contained within. In certain evangelical circles, there is much speculation that Glenn Beck sees himself as that White Horse Rider who will stand in the gap, take the slings and arrows, and lay his life on the line to restore the Constitution.
Mormon teaching, among other things, provides pathways for mortal men to ascend to the level of a god, even to the level of achievement and divinity is the god-man Jesus Christ, who once was mortal like us. So it would not be any stretch of imagination, nor would it be violent to LDS teachings for Glenn Beck to see himself as earning his Godhood ranking through serving as the White Horse Prophet. Now in Biblical Eschatology, who rides the White Horse?
Harold Camping is predicting the Return of our LORD. I as one who does not subscribe to chiliasm, I believe the return of our LORD is the return in Judgment. In the first century, or the Present Age, Jesus Christ came in the flesh to conquer Hell and Death on the cross. On his next and last return, marking the full realization of the Age to Come, He will come to Judge. There are parallels in the Passion Week of Jesus Christ leading up to the most prophesized event on the Cross, and the short time between now and The Final Judgment.
The first event is when our LORD came to Jerusalem, from the town of Bethpage on the Mount of Olives, riding on a donkey. This has been mistakenly called the Triumphant Entry, the error is that He is riding a donkey, which is the cultural expression, not of a conqueror, but a peaceful King. The triumphant conquering King is riding a White Horse, which is what we read in Revelation 6:2. It should not be a surprise that the White Horse Prophecy of Revelation, marking the return of our LORD in Judgment coincides with the White Horse Prophecy of Joseph Smith embodied by Glenn Becks triumphal entry into Washington D.C.
When the people came out to see our LORD, though many thought that He would come with the recently raised from the dead Lazarus, they treated Him as a visiting King, coming out of the city to meet him descending from the Mount of Olives, stripping off their clothes and laying that and palm branches along His path to the political city of Jerusalem. Many, who had traveled far to be a part of the Passover Feast, saw Him as the promised King of David who through the power of God, would restore the Kingdom of Israel and Judah to its former glory, a gesture which would make necessary casting off the oppressive Roman Empire.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:17 we read the famous rapture passage claimed by Dispensationalists as the silent rapture of the Church. In reality, what we read is a similar greeting by the surviving Church where we leave the city to meet Him in the air and accompany Him to Jerusalem where He will fulfill His role as conqueror and judge.
Glenn Beck will be descending from the heavens into Washington D.C., the political capital of the United States, probably in a white jet, where he will be greeted by a large multitude of people who like both appearances of our LORD to the political capital will be greeted by many people who have traveled far away to be in the city for a special spiritual event. Because the event is in Washington DC in August, it will likely be warm and sunny so that people will be removing layers of clothes to keep cool and will place coverings on the ground.
When our LORD entered into Jerusalem, he was confronted by many people who wanted Him dead because He was leading the people away from their teachings, their power over the people were directly threatened, yet they did not kill Him because of His popularity with the people. When our LORD returns again in Judgment, He will again be confronted with many people who hate Him and His judgment will result in them losing their power (for all eternity).
Likewise, Glenn Beck will be entering a city normally full of political leaders who hate him and wish him dead, his message is designed to draw people away from the Progressive leadership, yet his accusers will do nothing because of their fear of the multitudes who love him and his teachings.
During the week where Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he cursed the Scribes and Pharisees for their elitism, and their hypocrisy, legislating and binding heavy burdens, hard to bear, and laying them on mens shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers (Mat 23:4) What is the point of the Tea Parties? It is a crowd of people who are weary of the heavy legislative burdens laid upon their shoulders, laws that are oppressive, yet are not born by the men who made these laws. What is a major theme in Glenn Becks ministry? To curse the legislators who oppress the people of Faith. Glenn Beck identifies himself and the Tea Party with Moses and the Hebrews. What was Moses complaint? That the burdens were too great upon his people, and that the tyrannical forces should let my people go.
In one scene our LORD witnesses a poor person giving up the last of her coins to donate to the Temple., and our LORD commented on the fact that she gave the last she had. Glenn Beck has also received eight pennies (mites?) from someone who gave to the 8/28 project - the last that they had.
What else was taught that week? Why the Pharisees confronted our LORD regarding the paying of Taxes (Matt 22:16-22). He condemned the lawyers and politicians for their abuse on the retired and those in need, denying them real justice and trying to take the last of their possessions for their own benefit and glory. (Matt 23:14) Our LORD turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple rebuking them for their defiling the Temple. What will Glenn Beck be against? The corrupt bureaucracy of the political class that extorts, cheats and defiles their offices and trusts given to them. Both Jesus Christ and Glenn Beck talk about gold, blindness and swearing an oath (Matt 23:16-17). The event will be held in front of the Lincoln Memorial which looks very much like a Temple. Jesus taught the people from the Temple. Glenn Beck will be teaching from a place that looks like and is given the same sanctity of a Temple. His denomination even calls their house of worship a Temple. His denomination is a particularly troublesome matter for they deny the Deity of Jesus Christ and consider Him a created being. Denying the Deity of Jesus Christ and mischaracterizing the relationship of Jesus Christ and the Father is of the spirit of AntiChrist. (1 John 2:22) So here we will have Glenn Beck, one who sees himself as the rider on the White Horse, who is a deceiver about Christ standing in a Temple-like structure, and if he is consistent with his Mormon theology, will be speaking blasphemies just as predicted by our LORD. (Matthew 24:15) Im not going to be so bold to connect those dots and say that Glenn Beck is the Anti Christ, that exercise is for the reader.
Yet its not fair to assign all of these things to Glenn Beck, for he is one of many, perhaps millions who share and will express the same sentiments. We are told that this is not a political rally, that there will not be politicians speaking, that this will be a spiritual awakening. There are many parallels between Jesus Christ and Glenn Beck. It would be unreasonable to paint Glenn Beck as a Messiah figure since he will be one of many, rather, the Tea Party in its spiritual role, will embody many of these remarkable parallels. And why not? For many within the Tea Party identify themselves as Christians, or little Christs therefore, would it not be appropriate for little Christs to conduct themselves in the manner of their namesake? Those in attendance at the rally have sworn to be peaceful, to not bring signs, to not speak out against the accusers this is not intended to be a political rally. Is this not exactly how our LORD handled himself before His accusers in court when he was being attacked by His enemies? He did not repel the blows; He did not speak out against His accusers; He was silent and raised no political challenges especially when He was accused of a political agenda to overthrow the authorities.
Long after the event, the Tea Party and those who attended 8/28 are expected to continue to be model citizens, to not return violence for violence, so that no one will have an excuse for their false accusations. What else have we learned? Glenn Beck teaches us to prepare, to have adequate food and supplies to make it through the hard times. Many others who see the troubles we are soon to engage encourage gathering of clothing and weapons. During this Passion Week in Luke 22:35-38 our LORD asks His disciples if they ever had to worry about money, food or clothes, and they said No. This is like the United States before the current regime brought about hard times, we had plenty and were in want of nothing. Then Jesus told them to now get a money bag, to fill an emergency pack with food, to gather up additional garments, and to arm themselves in preparation for possible violence.
Now for Prophecy You Can Use.
On the first Tuesday of November of 2010, the American people will have a chance to drive the money-changers out of the Temple. In Scriptures we read that the political class was given a chance to let the holy and righteous one, the Man without sin or fault go with only a chastisement, yet they chose to pardon a notorious terrorist. I predict, in the spirit of the remarkable parallels in our LORDs last week of ministry to the last week before the End that the political leadership will make deals to release terrorists from the consequences of their action. Could this be the White House giving a green light to nuclear Iran to prosecute a war against Israel? Remember, their leader is desirous to bring about the Apocalypse. Harold Camping is predicting the Last Day in May, how much time does Ahmadijinhad have to hold up his end of this Islamic prophecy?
In Luke 22:24-28 we read that there was a dispute among the Disciples regarding which of them should be considered the greatest. I predict that in the coming months we will see a visible and animated dispute among those in the Tea Party movement as to who is the greatest. There will be political deals made at this time.
There is a strong contrast in the mobs reaction to Jesus Christ at the beginning of the Passion Week, and the moment before he was condemned to crucifixion. In the beginning, they were treating Him as King with great expectations, in the end the same people were screaming and demanding His blood, crying out May His blood be on us and on our children. There is really only one way to explain this otherwise unbelievable change in heart. In Revelation 20 we read that Satan has been bound for a thousand years. Traditional teachings of the End Times tell us that in order for the robber to plunder the strong mans home, he must first be bound. This illustration is made to show the necessity of binding Satan so that the Gospel message can go throughout the world so that the Devils home can be plundered of his people to be taken by our LORD. In v 3, we read but after these things, he must be released for a while. I submit that the reaction of the crowd came under the direct influence of Satan who had not been bound yet (but would be as the Apostles went out with the power to bind). In like manner, as we read in Revelation 20, Satan, who since the days of the Apostles, has been bound, will suddenly be released to once again deceive the nations. In the days preceeding the Camping Expectation, lawlessness will increase because the lame duck Progressives will implement as a demonic parting shot at destroying the Republic, all sorts of evil: VAT tax, Cap and Tax, Amnesty, and other horrors too obscene to mention here.
This final display of evil and wickedness will bring about the rebellion and violence that has overtaken the world. Like the people who once praised our LORD and then demanded His death, the American people, who now largely agree with the Tea Party will turn upon Patriots and lovers of the Republic with a demon inspired lethal and violent intent.
When extrapolating the days to week ratio between the Passion Week and the time span between 8/28 and the November elections, its easy to see how May 21, 2011 is well within the appointed time to adequately fit the accomplished work of Christ on the Cross. May 21, 2011 corresponds well to the Final Judgment of Christ on the rebellious nations.
Oh great. That's all we need.
oye vea.
Harold Camping is still around?
Matthew 24:36 & 37 (NIV)
Never thought I'd ever see the names Glenn Beck and Harold Camping in the same title.
This is sure to set a record for FR-—I'd guess possibly ten thousand replies.

So, in case this was not a tongue in cheek endeavor, you are saying that Glenn Beck is fulfilling Harold Camping's prediction that the Lord will return in May of 2011? Given the fact that the archetype of the suffering servant can be applied to many martyrs, I am not sure how this refers exclusively to Beck. I still think you are kidding.
**May 21, 2011** leads me to say that this person is a false prophet.
Harold Camping predicts the day the Lord will return every few years, and of course he is wrong every time. The Bible clearly says that this will happen when no one, not even Camping, expects it.
Jesus was crucified, died, and resurrected during Passover Week. The Last Supper was a Passover supper.
"Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" - John the Baptist.
So the celebration of Easter at Passover time is not at all coincidence, but coincides with the Jewish calendar passover. A date that is not the subject of controversy.
Only a false prophet would name a date certain. Put this one on ignore because he hasn't tested all things again the Word of God. And, remember - if a "prophet" isn't getting his messages from God, he's getting them from Satan.
You've been a Freeper a whole two months. What is this stuff you're posting? Sounds a little crazytown to me.
You are not reading the verse properly. If read in context it actually says, that if you don't 'watch' the day will come upon you unaware'. The opposite is also true. If you do watch, you will know the season, day and hour etc, It's not a verse that should ever be lazily quoted alone. It's obvious that we will know the day hour etc,

Passover in 2011 will start on Tuesday, the 19th of April and will continue for 7 days until Monday, the 25th of April.
It's not "coincidence" at all. The 14th day of Nisan is the 14th day after the new moon, so it's at or very close to a full moon. Easter is the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, March 22. It's basically the same dating system, adjusted (a) to fall on a Sunday; and (b) adjusted to be computable from the Greco-Roman solar calendar instead of from the Hebrew lunar calendar.
And, BTW, if Easter and Passover are unrelated, why is Easter called "Passover" in Greek, Latin, and every language derived from Latin?
Oh dear God...
Harold Camping is NOT a recognized nor reputable "Dispensationalist."
In addition, date setting for the Return of Christ is FORBIDDEN by Christ Himself — doing so is a SIN. And BELIEVING someone who sets such a date is FOOLISH.
Finally, as Children of God, we are to be AWAKE and ALWAYS PREPARED for the RETURN of the Lord as though it could happen at ANY MOMENT — because it COULD (Matthew 25). At the SAME TIME, we are to continue with our WORK HERE in building HIS KINGDOM until He comes, because He instructs us to "Occupy till I come."
The time of His Return is in the Hands of the Sovereign in heaven. It is a FOOL'S game to guess that day for any man on earth, and a FOOL'S folly to to follow such a man! Mark him and avoid him!
Just Trust Christ, be READY! And when Jesus GETS HERE, BELIEVE ME, you will KNOW IT!
Please explain why the Nicean canons intentionally forbid the biblical Passover when deriving the date for the pagan holiday of Easter. Please explain why there was even such a thing as the Quartodecimian Controversy in the 2nd Century. The fact is, considerable church history was spent trying to stamp out the celebration of the biblical Passover, and disconnecting from Passover on the common calendar was mandated in the Nicean decrees. It is not as simple as your "it's the full moon" excuse.
Read your Bible. Passover begins late on the 14th of Aviv (or Nisan). That is the day before, or April 18, 2011. What you are reading is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which begins on the 15th of Nisan (sunset on the 14th of Nisan). In the Bible, the day begins at sunset. Because Passover precedes Unleavened Bread by only a few hours, they became synonymous, but it is incorrect to say Passover begins on April 19, 2011because then it would be celebrated a day late.
There are so many things in error in that article one wouldnt even know where to begin.
"For the record, "Passover" is often mentioned in Scripture. "Easter" is not"
Easter was started 2000 years before Christ and is a pagan holiday.
There are so many things in error in that article one wouldnt even know where to begin.
Of course there are, its SATIRE, making light of modern Premillennial Dysfunctionalism's taste for finding future prophecy in places where it wasn't meant to be. If any passage can be interpreted to be future, then why can't I play the same game?
The man from Nazareth is not coming back. When The Messiah comes, his name will not be Iesous.
"Easter" refers to the orientation of churches ("ad orientatum" (sp?)) in anticipation of the risen Christ coming from Jerusalem. The name is used only in English lands, although the British historian Bede was of the opinion that it related to some pagan month, long since forgotten even in his time. Bede was probably mistaken, however, because there is no other historical record of such a holiday, certainly none that so far predated Christ.
Bede was not asserting that Easter was related to such a holiday. The Brythons to which he refers would have been unknown to the early Christians who celebrated paschach; he was only asserting that the name carried over, much the way that secularists still use the word, "holiday (holy day)." (It's also quite probable that Christianity was far older in England than Bede thought possible, since Bede believed it was established in England only by Augustine of Canterbury.)
Throughout the Catholic world, it is known by some variation of the word, "paschach," meaning "passover."
The Nicene Council did establish that the Catholic Church shall celebrate Easter according to the Roman (solar) calendar, rather than the lunar calendar. From the very wording of the Council, and of Constantine's aggressive letter commending it, one can obviously see that the practice was already well established. However, there were judaizers who were trying to enforce the adoption of the Jewish calendar in the Roman world. Hence, Constantine's letter is rather harsh against them.
Under the definition for Easter inWebster's Dictionary (College Edition)one finds: "originally the name of pagan vernal festival . . . Eastre, dawn goddess."Further reading in an encyclopaedia, or most books on the holidays will identify this Eastre with the pagan goddess known variously as Eostre, Ishtar, Semeramis, and Astarte. This is the same Babylonian "Queen of Heaven,"whose worship is condemned in the Word of God (see Jeremiah Chapters 7 and 44).
Read what God says about the Queen of Heaven.
As noted in my comments about Bede. You'll also note that the holiday is only called Easter in English-speaking lands. From Wikipedia, about Eostre:
Old English Ēostre (also Ēastre) and Old High German Ôstarâ are the names of a putative Germanic goddess whose Anglo-Saxon month, Ēostur-monath, has given its name to the festival of Easter. Eostre is attested only by Bede, in his 8th century work De temporum ratione, where he states that Ēostur-monath was the equivalent to the month of April, and that feasts held in her honour during Ēostur-monath had died out by the time of his writing, replaced by the "Paschal month". The possibility of a Common Germanic goddess called *Austrōn- was examined in detail in 19th century Germanic philology, by Jacob Grimm and others, without coming to a definite conclusion.
Linguists have identified the goddess as a Germanic form of the recontructed Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn, *Hausos, some scholars have debated whether or not Eostra is an invention of Bede's,
>> Further reading in an encyclopaedia, or most books on the holidays will identify this Eastre with the pagan goddess known variously as Eostre, Ishtar, Semeramis, and Astarte. This is the same Babylonian Queen of Heaven,whose worship is condemned in the Word of God (see Jeremiah Chapters 7 and 44). <<
By this, you mean the uneducated rantings of new-agers and radical fringe Christians, like the Branch Davidians. Astarte/Ishtar is associated with Aphrodite (Greek) and Venus (Latin). The Greco-Roman God of the dawn was Eos / Aurora. The word, "East" comes from "Eos." "Easter" was that which prompted one to East. Bede probably mistook the great antiquity of the Paschal month for having some pagan antecedents, given the name "Eostre," especially given the word's pagan routs, but again, I emphasize, Bede is the only historical record anywhere of any supposed Byrthonic god "Eostre."
"I emphasize, Bede is the only historical record anywhere of any supposed Byrthonic god "Eostre."
Other then the numerous references in the Bible to the "Queen of heaven.
Believe as you wish. I leave it up to the Spirit of God to lead.
>>>> I emphasize, Bede is the only historical record anywhere of any supposed Byrthonic god Eostre. <<<<
>> Other then the numerous references in the Bible to the Queen of heaven. <<
Not one of which has anything to do with Eostre, Easter, or the Brittons.
>> Believe as you wish. I leave it up to the Spirit of God to lead. <<
To where? Senselessly attacking other Christians for celebrating the Resurrection of Christ? If so, that's not the HOLY Spirit doing the leading.
The day that English-speakers call "Easter" was called "Pascha" by Latin-speaking and Greek-speaking Christians, a transliteration of the Hebrew word "Pesach" - Passover.
Both the Jewish Pesach and the Christian Pascha are determined in relation to the vernal equinox.
Pesach begins on the first full moon after the vernal equinox and Easter begins on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
The word "Easter" ("Oster" in Germany) was applied by Germanic Christians to the feast of the Pascha ("Pascua" in Spanish, "Pasqua" in Italian, "Paques" in French, "Pascoa" in Portuguese, "Caisc" in Irish) centuries after it was first celebrated.
The dating of the Pascha has nothing to do with either Germanic paganism or that of the peoples that surrounded the Hebrews, but with the Hebrew calendar.
Also, the chief goddess of the Germanic pagans was Odin's wife, named "Frigga" - if the term "Queen of Heaven" had any meaning for Germanic pagans, it would have meant Frigga, not a goddess named "Easter" (of whom not one contemporary record exists).
Also, while the word "easter" may mean "dawn" in Old Germanic, "Astarte", "Ashtaroth" or "Ishtar" are not Germanic names, but Semitic ones. These names are the names of the "evening star" - that is, Venus. Historically, the pagan feasts for these goddesses were celebrated at harvest time in the fall, not during the spring.
"To where? Senselessly attacking other Christians for celebrating the Resurrection of Christ? If so, thats not the HOLY Spirit doing the leading."
Are you proposing to judge what the Holy Spirit is saying?
I simply point to scripture and what it says.
Better study ancient history. It started much earlier then you indicate.
Basically, almost every vile, profane and idolatrous practice you can think of originated at Babel with Queen Semiramis, the Mother Goddess and Nimrod. As the people scattered from Babel with their different languages, they, of course, used different names for Nimrod (Tammuz) and Semiramis. Some called the Mother Goddess ISHTAR (originally pronounced Easter). In other lands, she was called Eostre, Astarte, Ostera, and Eastre. Other names for Semiramis, the Mother Goddess include: Wife of Baal, Ashtaroth or Ashtoreth, and Queen of Heaven. The Mother goddess was frequently worshipped as the goddess of fertility - and as a sort of Mother Nature and goddess of spring and sexual love and birth. She was also worshipped as a mediator between god and man. Sexual orgies and temple prostitutes were often used in her worship and in attempting to gain her favor.
Noahs great grandson was on this earth well before the time period you reference. Nimrod and his wife Semiramis and her illegitimate son Tamuz are well documented in the Bible as is Gods wrath concerning them.
>> I simply point to scripture and what it says. <<
The scripture says, "goddess of Heaven." King James, reasonably, says, "Queen of Heaven." Your own imagination says "Eostre." You're abuse of scripture is astounding.
>> I simply point to scripture and what it says. <<
The scripture says, "goddess of Heaven." King James, reasonably, says, "Queen of Heaven." Your own imagination says "Eostre." You're abuse of scripture is astounding.
Rather than telling others to study ancient history, perhaps you should rely on some other historical source than Alexander Hislop (or possibly his imitator Dave Hunt).
Can you read Hebrew, CB? How about Greek, Latin, Old English or Old Norse?
Is your expert knowledge of "ancient history" based on reading documents in their original languages?
Nimrod and his wife Semiramis and her illegitimate son Tamuz are well documented in the Bible as is Gods wrath concerning them.
Nimrod is certainly documented in the Bible, but the Bible makes no mention of his wife, no mention of any Semiramis and the only mention of Tammuz is in Ezekiel, where there is no reference to Nimrod.
Your claim that "Astarte" is Semiramis is simply not in the Bible.
You say:
they, of course, used different names for Nimrod (Tammuz)
and you also say:
Nimrod and his wife Semiramis and her illegitimate son Tamuz
Which is it? Is Nimrod Tammuz or is Tammuz the illegitimate son of Nimrod's supposed wife?
The facts remain: there is no evidence to link Astarte of the Canaanites to the supposed Eostre of the Northumbrians. There is not even any concrete evidence that any such entity as "Eostre" was known to the Northumbrians.
Moreover, there is no evidence to link the date of the Pascha, which was celebrated by Christians long before the pagan Germans had ever heard of it, with a supposed festival of "Eostre" - especially since there is plenty of hard, documented evidence (like the voluminous records of the Quartodeciman debates) to link the date of the Christian Pascha with the Biblical Pesach.
I would dare bet that I have less who agree with me then you have who agree wity you also.
Want to hear something else that's scary? I don't pray to dead people either.
> I would dare bet that I have less who agree with me then you have who agree wity you also. <<
I doubt it. But so what? The day may come when the cultists, Wiccans, Satanists and Atheists have completely duped most of the people of the world about the origin of Easter. Will that make them any more correct?
No fair double-posting ! lol !! Harold Camping...jeez louise...magritte
>> I would dare bet that I have less who agree with me then you have who agree wity you also. <<
>I doubt it. But so what? The day may come when the cultists, Wiccans, Satanists and Atheists have completely duped most of the people of the world about the origin of Easter. Will that make them any more correct?<
Good grief man. Would you please re-read my statement above? It says I have LESS who agree with me. Do you comprehend anything you read?
Neither do I.
But that really has no bearing on the discussion.
The fact is, your claims about Semiramis and Tammuz have no Scriptural foundation - yet you claimed that they did.
Moreover, your original claim is completely anachronistic - the Pascha was celebrated by Christians, following the Scriptural Pesach, for centuries before Germanic Christians came up with their own name for it.
The Jewish Pesach (Passover), from which the word "pascha" comes ("pascha" is the word the Jewish translators of the Hebrew Scriptures used to translate the Hebrew word "pesach") is celebrated on the first full moon following the spring equinox.
The Christian Pascha is celebrated on the next day of the first Jewish Sabbath after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
Well, you're post DOES make better sense when I read it without standing on my head. :^D
See! There ya go! Ya just wasn't doin it right! LOL
Are we all talking passed each other? Do we agree that the original celebration did in fact begin 2000 years before Jesus?
Yes. Easter is a pagan holy day. Always was, always will be. Its origins are clearly tied to Babylonian mystery religions, which were appropriated by Roman and later Byzantine church leaders. The tying of the resurrection of Jesus to "Easter" (as opposed to Passover) was driven by anti-Semitism - and church documents make that clear.
Thanks Tz. That's the way I was reading your post but wasn't totally sure and didn't want to misunderstand.
