Is Easter Correct?

Is Easter correct?  This is a special time of the year for me because just before Easter, as a 17-year-old young person, I trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Amen! I got the victory over sin ... victory in Jesus! I serve a risen Savior, Jesus Christ!

Ishtar
Easter

When he had apprehended him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him

Think about that word Easter in Acts 12:4. Is this is a bad translation? On the contrary, the King James Bible is accurate because verse 3 indicates these were the days of the unleavened bread. The Passover had ended (Leviticus 23:4-8), which occurred the day before unleavened bread (which lasted a week). Herod was waiting to kill Peter after the celebration of his own pagan feast, Ishtar , Easter

So, the King James Bible is correct when using the word Easter , not the word Passover. The history, the content and thereby the word translation and usage of Easter in the King James Bible is perfectly preserved. 


THE CHURCH, 

on Resurrection Sunday, 

which is truly every Sunday, 

COMES TOGETHER why?

To celebrate our RISEN and soon-to-return LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
