ASK DOC: WHAT IS WRONG WITH SAYING “EASTER” INSTEAD OF RESURRECTION DAY?

ASK DOC: WHAT IS WRONG WITH SAYING “EASTER” INSTEAD OF RESURRECTION DAY?

Is “Easter” just a harmless tradition—or does it actually obscure the biblical message?

In this episode, Doc cuts through the confusion and examines the issue with precision:

• Why the New Testament never commands or even mentions a Christian feast called “Easter”
• The truth behind Acts 12:4 and the KJV’s lone use of the word
• How “Passover” (πάσχα — *pascha*) is fulfilled in Christ—and never renamed
• The real historical origins of the word “Easter” (and what Bede actually said)
• Why the popular “Ishtar” connection is completely false
• How tradition gradually replaced biblical language
• Why “Resurrection Day” is theologically clearer and textually faithful

This is not about preference—it’s about precision. Scripture gives us the categories: Christ our Passover, and Christ risen from the dead.

Anything else risks replacing revelation with tradition.

Jesus Christ is risen.:::
