The Resurrection day of the Lord - Easter

[Renaissancepeople]

Matthew 28:1

“οψε δε σαββατων τη επιφωσκουση εις μιαν σαββατων ηλθεν μαρια η μαγδαληνη και η αλλη μαρια θεωρησαι τον ταφον”

KOINE GREEK – STEPHENS 1550 – TEXTUS RECEPTUS

The full sentence of Mth 28:1 would render closely like;

“Late (οψε) those (δε) sabbaths (σαββατων) to the (τη) twilighting-up (επιφωσκουση) into (εις) one of (μιαν) sabbaths (σαββατων) Mary (μαρια) Magdalene (μαγδαληνη) and (και ) the (η) other (αλλη) Mary (μαρια) observed (θεωρησαι) the (τον) sepulchre (ταφον).”

If I knew without a doubt before having children (creation of the world) that even one of my children would dye and burn forever in hell, I would choose not to have any. God knew he would need Jesus to save the world from sin and that 90% would not believe and burn forever in hell... and he did it anyway. Does that mean I'm nicer than God?

[THELDSLIFE]

@4whatwhycool - everyone has their agency just as in life as well as in whatever. And it's not like people actually BURN... but if they do NOT strive towards their own potentials, they will KICK themselves for eternity for not living up to their potentials.

[4whatwhycool]

@THELDSLIFE First of all I can't believe I spelled die dye ... we had just dyed easter eggs but still.... Anyway, it isn't about potential and you know that. And the bible says we burn... I don't think we are supposed to change the wording to make the biblical God appear nicer. Anyway, you know what? Just be happy ... love others, love yourself and one day maybe the idea of human sacrifice and eternal torture won't ring so well with you either... be well...

Great message!

[HaveUconsidered]

Oh boy, more cultic looking (ala 1950 artwork) bible pictures with the never ending musical background. (at least it's not strings with a heavenly sounding choir like 90% of your other brainwashing films)

[THELDSLIFE]

@HaveUconsidered

Everyone is entitled to their opinion... be it antiquated or speculative.

[Yunginspirit]

@HaveUconsidered: Compared to other dark, loud and salacious music/lyrics of the world...this music and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is so heavenly in comparison. The LDS artwork is absolutely beautiful, some are quite recent. Only a couple are not LDS pictures. : )

[HaveUconsidered]

@Yunginspirit

I guess compared to the gutter trash of the world's popular culture, all and any church related art could be "heavenly" in comparison.

Some of LDS art IS very good like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for example.

I just get a bit annoyed watching LDS ads and video clips. It's just so overly produced and flawless, to the point of being fake and contrived. (Nobody smiles that much and acts so damn perfect.)

But then again, I see the faith as a delusion anyway so there's my bias.....

[Yunginspirit]

@HaveUconsidered: Well, thank you for watching the LDS Church videos and for being half-way agreeable. At least you are not too biased for that.

Blessings.

[HaveUconsidered]

@Yunginspirit

Blessings to you as well.

[wtalady]

I found this amazing. Thank God for his atoning sacrifice. Thank you for supplying the video I appreciate it. Happy Easter.

[leSavaii]

Just wanna say....Thank you! & Happy Easter

[2grace4me]

Happy Easter and thanks posting Christ centered videos and as always your talent shows through. The art is beautiful. I'm sure the conference will be amazing. I always feel so refreshed and renewed at Easter. It's definitely my favorite time of the year. Blessings to you and your family.

[faanunu]

Nice...

[MrUNIXman]

Lovely Video Josh with lovely music and Images, thank you

[theminimumdog]

JUST A SAMPLING OF MORMON LEADERS DESCRIBING PROFESSING CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANITY: "Whoremasters," "so-called Christian world," "grovelling in darkness," "heathens," "paganism," "hatched in hell," "the veriest of fools," "a monstrous iniquity," "apostate Christendom," "most corrupt of all people," "full of blasphemy,......" "Babylon," "cults of Christendom," "apostate substitutes," "the great whore," "perverted."

[THELDSLIFE]

Have yourself a pleasant Easter...

[scubawrestler]

Very Beautifully done.

[Yunginspirit]

Thanks for this Josh...I love the music and the beautiful paintings and the fact that Easter is almost upon us. Praise Jesus Holy name.

[truthtrekker]

In REVELATIONS 1:18 Jesus clearly `states` he has `the keys of hell and of death'.

No other keys are mentioned.

Hell and death are the only keys Jesus can offer anyone.

good luck with those keys...

[Yunginspirit]

@truthtrekker - True, Christ alone has the "keys of death and hell." But why did you mention it to me here. Did we have a conversation abt this topic recently?

: )

[truthtrekker]

@Yunginspirit Actually the main pillar of ANY religion is that you must one day die to go and be with your god.

Jesus is a myth based on the sun, like all the solar saviors born of virgins throughout history.

If you are okay with marching into the Sun for your make believe savior that is your free will choice.

good luck with keys.

[THELDSLIFE]

@Yunginspirit

We can't help those who would deny the gifts of God or set at naught the great latter-day work which has been prophesied since the world began. This work would not be accomplished by men who usurp authority to act in God's name... this authority, as we know, would have to be imparted upon men as it was done of old... (Hebrews 5:1,4) - We'll just have to let many enjoy only a lesser part of those gifts due to their unbelief.

[Yunginspirit]

@THELDSLIFE: Well, I just hope that somehow we can get thru to some of them, that they will wake up and understand the Truth. We must never give up tho. : )

[truthtrekker]

@THELDSLIFE The contract entered into with any god of your choosing is very simple and always exactly the same.

You agree that one day you must die to go and be with your god.

That is the pact that is made.

No one said you had to die but your god.

Death is eternity in the Sun, the blazing lake of fire, where all excess energy in this Solar System goes.

The also includes human life force energy released from the body at death.

Therefore it is unwise to follow the religious to god.

[jonnygotz2343]

@THELDSLIFE some people say easter some people say resurrection day didnt you like how some of the general authorities said either happy easter or resurrection day

[Yunginspirit]

@truthtrekker: We have the "Keys of the Priesthood," (the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods).  Priesthood is the authority of God delegated to man to minister for the salvation of men. The power of directing these labors constitutes the keys of the Priesthood."

[VALIANTargeteer]

@truthtrekker Perhaps you should reread the Bible. Jesus speaking says to Peter, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19).

[truthtrekker]

@VALIANTargeteer I suggest you get a good dictionary. A virgin cannot have a baby. Virgin means pure and untouched. That nothing has been in [or out of] the woman]. Jesus is a myth based on the Sun, where the consciousness of all who have died are including god, the first person to make slaves and claim to be the creator of all things. For this Nature put god where all things are created. the Sun.

At 37 years old do you need to be told how babies are made??

[VALIANTargeteer]

@truthtrekker Of course, Mary was a virgin. The Bible states that Joseph did know her, but yet she was "with child". "For with God, nothing shall be impossible" comes into play here. Beyond our mortal comprehension and logic, Mary indeed carried a child within and yet was a virgin. To understand this miracle and be accepting of it, one must be receptive to it and "be believing" to use one of Jesus' phrases. The Bible states that Mary did conceive, but not according to our mortal logic.

[truthtrekker]

@VALIANTargeteer In order to accept the story of a virgin having a baby, one must be illiterate and not know the meaning of the word virgin.

Once you can convince someone there is an invisible man in the clouds-- and one for each religion no less-- the rest is a piece of cake.

It takes the male sperm to fertilize the female egg to create human life. You have been brought up to believe in childish fantasy.

[VALIANTargeteer]

@truthtrekker Note: A correction on a type-o--In my prior post I meant to write "The Bible states that Joseph did NOT know her".

Again, mortal logic cannot wrap it's mind around God's miracles. I'm not going to try to convince someone there is an invisible man in the clouds. Rather, I'll testify that God lives in heaven and that he is an immortal being with a body of flesh and bones.

Faith/Trust in God makes the rest of it easy to believe.

Do you believe in a Supreme Being?

[VALIANTargeteer]

@truthtrekker Note: A correction on a type-o--In my prior post I meant to write "The Bible states that Joseph did NOT know her (before marriage)"

[truthtrekker]

@VALIANTargeteer which god?? there have been and still are soooo many.... Which god (egregore) you get mostly depends on the location of your birth.

Nature is the creator and there are laws in effect for this creation. The Natural law is no worship, no slaves. Nature never instructed anyone to worship it, anything else or that anyone had to die.

If you have not passed religion or the belief in death to your children you do not have to die.

I was hoping to see more Easter messages.

my favorite time of year to watch LDS videos!

[THELDSLIFE]

We're fortunate to have conference fall upon Easter this year! O happy Day!

[TirianCreed]

Great job Josh! I love the music in the background along with the pictures. It is so peaceful.
