– The Correct Research Methodology To Substantiate If an Expression is an Idiom?
– In the early church, was the Last Supper Considered a Passover Feast?
– The meaning of παρασκευή (‘day of preparation’)
– Luke 22:16 – Did Jesus say he was not going to eat THAT Passover?
– Do Idioms Used in the Crucifixion Narrative Resolve the “3 Day/3 Night” Objections?
Is “day of” an idiomatic expression, meaning “general time”?
Why does Luke say the day of the Passover came, when it had not?
Is there any historical evidence, or grammatical rules, that may suggest that this phrase was often used imprecisely, idiomatically?
Is it possible that: “It’s the Feast of Passover!” – may have have been understood the same way that we understand: “It’s Christmas Time!”, (a generalization, not necessarily the actual day);
Are Verb Tenses Significant? (“Then came:“, Aorist, Imperfect, etc.)
Are there any historical texts, that either confirm or refute this argument?
NASB, Luke 22:1 – Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
Passover Came:
NASB, Luke 22:7 – Then came, (Ἦλθεν, Aorist Tense) the day
But It Had Not, Yet? :
NASB, Luke 23:17 – Now [Pilate] was obliged to release to them (at / κατὰ) the feast one prisoner.
John 19:31 – Then the Jews, because it was, (Imperfect Tense) the day of preparation, … for a Great Day was that Sabbath.
Homilies on Matthew (Chrysostom), Homily 81 – And this one calls the day before the feast of unleavened bread, Luke 22:7 speaking of the time when they came to Him, and another says on this wise, Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed; by the word came, meaning this, it was near, it was at the doors, making mention plainly of that evening. For they began with the evening, wherefore also each adds, when the passover was killed.
Note: Although Augustine, (354-439) cited Chrysostom as an authority – I feel that what Chrysostom, (349-407) wrote is not conclusive because those works were not contemporaneous with the New Testament.

Christmas is made up of two words: christ and mass. It’s a Roman Catholic invented word and has nothing to do with the biblical Christ. The word “mass” refers to death, not birth. Mass is a satanic ritual where the Catholic priests force Jesus from His throne to murder Him over and over as the victim of the Catholic mass. Then they eat His flesh and drink His blood. The difference in their weekly mass and their special Christ’s mass on Dec 25th is that baby Jesus is the victim. They celebrate His birth and then murder Him. Of course that’s what Christmas was all about back before the Catholics hijacked it. It was all about sacrificing children to the sun god. No born again person who loves God and knows the truth will celebrate such a satanic ritual. All of the customs of Christ’s mass were stolen from pagans so the entire celebration is contrary to the will of God.

Christ mass has nothing to do with Christ.

So in other words, every day to you is a pagan holiday involving orgies and child sacrifice. Hmm. Interesting.

26. They are blessed and their children, offspring of their bowels are blessed. Their children are not seduced by the father Christmases. All those fetish priests, all those anointing prophets, all those reverends who travel around the earth and organize gatherings at the end of each year, they are father Christmases. Be it in Africa, in America, in Asia or in Europe, they are father Christmases. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. They are seducers and see how they seduce mankind at the end of each year. They are father Christmases and your children have to ask them their calls and commissions and where did the Bible speak of them. Look at their words. Look at their posters and all what they do at the end of year! What is it? They are father Christmases! [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”].
