DO YOU KNOW THAT THE MEMORIAL OF CHRIST'S DEATH IS IN THURSDAY, NISAN 14TH 5778 (Hebrew Calendar): MARCH 29, 2018 AFTER THE SUNSET?
The setting of the date of the Memorial on the evening of March 31, 2018 is inaccurate, since this date corresponds to 16 Nisan (and not 14 Nisan)
The biblical rule of fixing the date is the same as setting the date of the biblical Passover, namely, the fourteenth day after the new moon, corresponding to the first day of the month: "In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, in the evening, you are to eat unleavened bread until the 21st day of the month, in the evening"(Exodus 12:18). This celebration precedes the full moon that takes place on the fifteenth day of the month. However, the number of days that go from the new moon to the full moon, is not always constant (it can vary by one day). This is probably why Jehovah mentioned the biblical rule of the fourteenth day of Nisan (following the new moon) (rather than the first full moon of the spring equinox, of which there is no trace in the Bible in as a landmark for Passover and then the Memorial).

There is no precise date on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Lord, but the Nisan date is to be considered between late March and early April.
Among other things, you are talking about the Jewish Easter, which, with the coming of Jesus Christ, has been abolished by his death and resurrection.
Therefore, Easter was for the Jewish people of those times, for he was a slave to the King of Egypt, Pharaoh!
Easter, its meaning means passage, that is, from death to life, so did the angel of death, when it passed to kill all the firstborn of Egypt, outside the children of Israel.
Therefore, when the people of God were liberated from God, through Moses, they made a feast, and that same one that lasted until the coming of Jesus Christ, since Jesus is that lamb that has been sacrificed for the salvation of every believer.
Then, as regards the name of God, its original name is: YHWH, therefore they are 4 consonants, it does not mean Jehovah, though, in the New Testament the name Jehovah is referred to Jesus Christ, which is part of God's Deity!

1) Are you faking my saying? I did not say that I do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, but is this your claim? Satan also knows the biblical passages, and is against the truth. I know the sacred scriptures, and the power of God, because, I repeat, no religion has convinced me, but it was God who revealed himself to Me, through my prayers, therefore, I am against every religion that is guided by Satan!
2) John 8:44
You are sons of the devil, who is your father, and you want to make the wishes of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and did not stick to the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he says false, he talks about what is his because he is a liar and a father of lies.
3) Easter.
The main feasts of the Jews, celebrating the exodus, the liberation of Israel from Egypt Exodus 12; Hebrews 11:28. Also called the feast of the Unleavened Bread or the unleavened bread (because they could not eat bread with yeast before leaving Egypt); in reality, the Feast of the Unleavened One referred to the feast of the entire previous week, of which the day of Easter was the last. Easter was celebrated on the fourteenth day of Abib, the first month of the year. All the Jews had to go to Jerusalem every Easter Ex. 34: 18-26; Leviticus 23: 5-8; Deuteronomy 16: 1-8, 16. But the party was observed very little: in fact for almost 600 years, from the judges to King Josiah (1), it was never celebrated 2Kings 23: 21-23, although according to 2Chronicles 35: 1-19 it was only the greatest (not the only) Easter of that period - Solomon offered the sacrifices at the Feast of the Unzipas 2Chronicles 8:13, and also King Hezekiah (2) celebrated Easter some 80 years earlier 2Cronaches 30. Ezra (2) and Ezekiel (2) reestablished Easter after the exile Esd 6: 19-22; Eze 45: 21-24. Jesus celebrated Easter, first with his Luke 2:41, and then at least twice during his ministry, the last time to die John 2: 13.23; Luke 22: 1-15; see also for the third Easter John 6: 4. There are also references to Easter in Acts 12: 3-4; 20: 6. Jesus fulfilled Easter when he died as his sacrifice forever, declaring to make his commemoral between death and his resurrection. 1 Corinthians 5: 7-8.
4) Jesus is God! He died and rose again, as he had promised:
John 10: 17-18.
17 For this reason the Father loves me: because I offer my life, and then take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I offer it to myself, because I have the power to offer it and the power to take it up again. This command I received from my Father ".
Jesus said that he has the power to offer his life, and the power to take it back, did not say that only Jehovah can!
And again, Jesus said to the apostle Philip, who saw him, saw God? Why do you use equality with Jehovah? Are there two Gods? NO! One God, in his Deity, Father, Son, Holy Spirit!
John 14: 8. Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "For a long time I am with you, and you did not know me, Philip? Who has seen me, has seen the Father; why do you say, "Show us the Father"? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The words that I tell you, I do not tell you about mine; but the Father who dwells in me, does his works. 11 Believe me: I am in the Father and the Father is in me; if not, believe because of those works themselves.
5) Matthew 28: 18-19.
18 And Jesus approached and spake unto them, saying, "All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
This is the divinity of God, in the three equal and distinct persons, since they are not objects that baptize, but Divine persons !!
Here's where the truth is, you're out of doctrine, the antichrist that was supposed to come into the world !!!!!!!

Leviticus 23:5 KJV In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.
Why do you think the first month is indicating a new moon that happens all throughout the year? The solar calendar begins at the Spring Equinox, which is why there are holes in walls to determine when exactly this day of equal day and night occurs each year. Passover is the 14th day at sunset, (even). The Hebrews reckoned time as being from sunset to sunset, not midnight to midnight as we do now. All prophesies of God are given in solar terms. Check out who all the lunar termed prophesies are about.
1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Correct. There was a special Three Day Sabbath. Jesus died on the Thursday, was dead for three days and returned Alive on the Monday. That we celebrate on the Sunday, yet have the real Monday off from schools and lots or job.

The 31st of March, 2018, is a Saturday. Nobody is going to be holding "the memorial of Christ's death" on Saturday 31 March.
However, Christians throughout the world will be rejoicing and celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour on Sunday 1st of April. Will you?
P.S. And please stop trying to advertise Jehovah's Witnesses on this forum - sounds like you're trying to tout for business.

Did you know it doesn't matter anymore. Getting hung up on dates and times, you're unable to see the forest for the trees. It causes one to become a hyper-legalist.
