Easter Traditions?

[Tcg]

Are there any Easter Traditions that are related specifically to Jesus' resurrection? The Easter eggs hunts, bunnies and pastel-colored candies seem to be a celebration of spring. Certainly, sermons will be preached on Jesus' resurrection, but are there any Easter Traditions that Christians practice with their families that are focused on Jesus?

I think what Ozzy is saying is that the Watch Tower is not a reliable source for obtaining information. For you which you admitted. So why do you still use this as your source?

....and if JW is wrong about so many other things, are you really credible or reliable as to the timing of the crucifiction?

Correct ; so since the bible explicitly states Jesus rose on the thirt day, there can be no literal third night but there can be a "metaphoric" third night and (depending on how one counts) a "three days later" (ie dead on PART of sunday )

And again, it also explicitly states that He would rise after three days. However, you say that the word for "after" can mean different things. So what is there in scripture which makes it absolutely, positively, no question about it necessary to pick a thing that might show that the Messiah didn't mean that at least actual parts of each one of three night times would be involved?

The bible doesnt usually present information in absolutes "no questions asked" ; as a text it is always open to interpretation. That said, accepting the nights as being "metaphoric" ones is a reasonable explanation give other related scriptues - > See post #278

Nobody is suggesting anyone accept information simply based on who is presenting it; let the argumentation speak for itself. If an interpretation is reasonable and textually sound it should stand alone.

From post #280; "The Greek word 'meta' has far too broad a meaning to categorically insist it means after three complete days AFTER an event..."

But you seem to be insisting that it can't mean three days after an event.

Hence my question - What in scripture makes you interpret it as meaning not after three days?

Not at all, I'm saying it can mean or it might not. It is not a "slam dunk" either way.

I didn't say not after three days I said not after three COMPLETE days (and 4 literal nights).
