When did Jesus die and rise from the dead?

April 2, 2019
By Stephen Korsman
The Resurrection of Christ

When did Jesus rise from the dead? On the 3rd day - Matt 16:21, Matt 17:23, Matt 20:19, Matt 27:64, Mark 9:31, Mark 10:34, Luke 9:22, Luke 18:33, Luke 24:7, Luke 24:46 On the first day of the week - Luke 24:21

3 days and 3 nights – timeline charts

April 2, 2019
By Stephen Korsman
Andrea del Castagno - Crucifixion

Some people think Jesus died on a Wednesday or Thursday, and rose on the sabbath. That means the first day of the week, which Luke says is the 3rd day since the Crucifixion, was really the 5th day, or 4th day, going by the way the Bible counts. But what's a day or two between friends?

On the THIRD day – getting it right

April 2, 2019
By Stephen Korsman
Icon of the Resurrection

Think about this quickly. Jesus died on a Wednesday. He rose on the sabbath. The next day, Sunday, was the third day since the Crucifixion, which was five days previously. And Jesus rose on the third day. Huh? That makes no sense, you say? Quite right, it doesn't. Yet some people, especially the Church of God (CoG) movement derived from Herbert Armstrong, get it muddled to that degree.

Jesus our Rising Sun, Light of the World

Adventists shy away from anything to do with the sun. Sun worship, they say. But comparing God to the sun is not wrong.

Twitter discussion – an Easter Egg

March 30, 2018
By Stephen Korsman
Easter eggs

It's a common belief that Easter is pagan. One claim is that the name is derived from Ostare or Eostre, a pagan goddess. I tweeted in response to various tweets claiming such nonsense. I had an interesting discussion with a very opinionated lady. I want to post a few notes here on how seemingly educated people are drawn into this nonsense, and how bizarre their arguments can be.

Jewish holy days fulfilled

Andrea del Castagno - Crucifixion

Some Christians don't like to celebrate the events in Jesus' life, and they follow a pseudo-Jewish calendar that includes passover and the other Jewish holy days.

Christmas is Christian

December 25, 2015
By Stephen Korsman
Adoration of the Shepherds, by Gerard van Honthorst, 1622 AD

At this time of the year, when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and the Incarnation of God the Son in human form, scoffers appear. Adventists are amongst these. Some Adventists celebrate Christmas, some don't. Those who don't rely on two key arguments - 1) it's not commanded in the Bible, and no permission is given to do so, and 2) misinformation.

Is Easter pagan?

April 12, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
Icon of the Resurrection

Adventists, and others such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses and those groups continuing Herbert Armstrong’s legacy, often claim that Easter is derived from a pagan festival. In fact, there are two important points to raise in response to them – a) whether or not Easter is pagan, and, for the Armstrong followers, b) which days of the week the Crucifixion and Resurrection were.

Is Easter Christian? A reply to Samuele Bacchiocchi

April 12, 2013
By Stephen Korsman
The Crucifixion of the Parlement of Paris

The late Adventist scholar Samuele Bacchiocchi was influenced by the teachings of Herbert Armstrong, and promoted the observance of Jewish holy days instead of Christian holy days. In his Endtime Issues #43 he rearranges the historical evidence to form a revised version of history to support his arguments. He beautifully provides us with a typical example of how historical evidence is misapplied.

Should Adventists celebrate the Resurrection with the rest of Christianity?

April 4, 2007
By Stephen Korsman
Icon of Christ Crucified, chapel of San Damiano, near Assisi

I applaud the Adventists, and others, who have seen the significance of Easter and Lent, and choose to celebrate Christ's resurrection as the early Christians did, and set time aside in their calendar for preparation for that celebration, along with the rest of their brothers and sisters in Christ, throughout the centuries.

The puzzle of Lent

February 23, 2007
By Stephen Korsman
Easter Dates 2007-2030

The date for Easter, as most people know it, is calculated according to rules defined by the Catholic Church centuries ago. Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, Dutch Reformed, and other Protestant churches that celebrate Lent, a 40 day preparation before Easter, along with most Catholics, keep Lent the way most people know it.

Missing Sunday Mass a sin?

October 21, 2005
By Stephen Korsman
The Mass

Unless there is a good reason not to, refusal to worship with fellow Christians must be seen in a negative light - it is not good for the Christian, and it is not good for the fellowship of the Church. It is in that sense that not going to church is considered to be a sin. That is the moral sense that existed when the Sabbath was in force as well, and while the timing on the 7th day is no longer of importance to…
