What do so many (not all) of today's religions have against following the instructions of Christ to observe

Question

the Memorial of the Last Supper and of the death of Christ on the right day rather than the more convenient new weekend? It's not as if we don't know what day it is. The day has been observed as the Jewish Passover for 4000 years, which falls on sunset of the first full moon after the vernal equinox. The Jews used the lunar calendar, which hasn't changed since its beginning. So, what do they have against the observance and against Christ by ignoring it.

Please, no comments that they get bigger donations and the like by making it more of a party atmosphere. I'm sure churches can easy survive without special reasons for donating.

Okay, so I left out the word "Christian" religions

Answer 1

You sound like to me that you're some kind of Jehovah's Witness. You evidently spend way too much time whining about dates, rather than undestanding the significance of an event, like the Resurrection. You need Christ in your life.

Answer 2

You need 2 have more respect 4 the man who died for your sins. Jewish dont know right from wrong. In the beginning, during, and in the end you all still cant figure out all you need is Jesus and not the old testemant. So it doesnt matter what correct day the Jews said to celebrate because you all was wrong with decisions from the day yall ridiculed Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

The passover is a Jewish festival.
Christ was a Galileean of Nazareth- he seems to be portrayed as very much a Gentile rather than a Jew in the bible.

You forget that it was Zoroastrianism and Persian beliefs systems that formulated the concept of the one God, heaven and hell and angels and demons- which the Jewish people took onboard when they were slaves under the Persian empire.

Answer 4

I'm really puzzled by your question.

As a Pagan, I don't have anything against Christians celebrating on an particular day, or on any other day. It's a matter of little concern to me.

And I'm certain that Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Taoists, Shintos, Jains, Sikhs, Bahá'i, Jews, other Pagans and people who follow indigenous religious traditions don't much care, either.

I think your question ought to be directed to Christians, as non-Christians don't generally spend a lot of time thinking about what day is correct for y'all to worship or celebrate your holy days. Well, unless y'all try to have everything in the world shut down on them.

Answer 5

Christians were never commanded to observe Passover or any other day. Jesus lifted a few elements from the Passover and gave them a different, but related meaning for his followers... like the "cup of redemption." The apostles, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, established that Christians would:

1. Meet the first day of the week, aka Sunday. The early church understood that this was in commemoration of Jesus' resurrection. -- This was DEFINITELY NOT, as some claim, a change brought about during the time of Constantine since men like Justin Martyr wrote about it OVER A CENTURY BEFORE Constantine.

2. Share in "The Lord's Supper," those passover elements which Jesus lifted and applied to himself, also at that assembly.

... This was NOT about Sabbath, or a changing or replacement of Sabbath. The ENTIRE LAW, including PASSOVER, SABBATH, and ALL the other "special" days had been set aside. While many Jewish Christians continued to participate in these things, they were not elements of Christianity, but their culture.

Their participation in synagogue worship also provided an opportunity for them to TEACH their fellow descendants of Israel about THEIR (more properly, EVERYONE'S) MESSIAH.

Paul wrote extensively about days and those who honor a particular day, along with those who don't.

In Romans we see: "14:5 Some people consider one day to be more holy than another. Others think all days are the same. Each person should be absolutely sure in his own mind. 6 Those who think one day is special do it to honor the Lord. Those who eat meat do it to honor the Lord. They give thanks to God. Those who don’t eat meat do it to honor the Lord. They also give thanks to God."

And in Colossians "2:13 At one time you were dead in your sins. Your sinful nature was not circumcised. But God gave you new life together with Christ. He forgave us all of our sins.
14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross. 15 He took away the weapons of the powers and authorities. He made a public show of them. He won the battle over them by dying on the cross.
16 So don’t let anyone judge you because of what you eat or drink. Don’t let anyone judge you about holy days. I’m talking about special feasts and New Moons and Sabbath days. 17 They are only a shadow of the things that were going to come. But what is real is found in Christ."

... Some people honor a particular day and others don't NEITHER should attempt to IMPOSE their understanding on those who disagree.

Answer 6

Interesting question. Possibly people in the middle ages resisted celebrating Passover because they wanted to distinguish themselves from the Jewish community? That's just a guess off the top of my head, but it seems like a possibility.

Answer 7

In the first century, Christians observed the Lord's supper "on the first day of the week". (Acts 20:7)

That is when it is observed where I worship. We follow this Biblical example and observe it on the first day of every week.

Answer 8

It should be observed on the 14th of Nisan (or is it the 4th?) of the Jewish calender at sundown. However many people work crazy hours and Sunday is the only day that many can attend. Just one thought there...

Answer 9

“all religions”
Buddhists don’t observe a Christian Sabbath because they think your god isn’t real. Same with Hindus, all the Chinese traditional religions, primal-indigenous peoples, African Traditional & Diasporic, Sikhism, Juche, Spiritism, Scientology, Neo-Paganism, etc, etc, etc.

If you are talking about the different Christian denominations, I’m pretty sure they believe that Christ arose from the dead on Sunday, but I was raised as a messianic Jew, so I went on Saturday growing up.

Answer 10

Well let's see,

1. Trying to love everyone makes no sense. Love those who deserve it & only those who deserve it!
2. Turning the other cheek is asking to be a doormat. If someone strikes you on the one cheek smash them on the other. If you show weakness others will see this and take advantage of you! If you show strength others will see this and you'll gain respect!
3. Thinking sex is bad. Sex is not bad it is the bullshit that people do after the act that can be bad. IE trying to control the other person or having guilt about something you enjoyed doing just because it is against a stupid book.
4. Wanting to serve a God that is far more brutal then any human this world has ever seen. A God that has no reguard for anyone that doesn't bow and scrape before him. I AM MY OWN GOD!
