Quartodecimans & the Council of Nicea 325 A.D. - a podcast by Craig Scott

The Early Church and the Biblical PassoverLast year leading up to the Passover I walked through three NT scriptures often used to teach against the observance of the biblical holy days. Using the setting and context I showed that Paul was teaching against human customs and traditions rather than the commanded holy day observance of scripture. That message is available online titled: “The Apostle Paul and the Biblical Holy Days”.Our purpose today is to use references from written history to demonstrate that the Church Jesus established observed the biblical Passover on the 14th of Aviv/Nisan for the first 200 years of its existence.  And that is was only after significant political pressure that most Christian congregations changed the date of this observance to what is now called Easter Sunday.If the apostle Paul taught against the observance of the biblical holy days as many falsely proclaim then why was the church still observing holy days for 2 centuries after his death?  Was he just a really ineffective teacher? I've had people boldly tell me how Paul's instructions about dumping the holy days are so clear and obvious ... yet the record of history shows the very congregations he established in Asia Minor were upholding the biblical Passover for 200 years later.And they kept it on the 14th of Aviv/Nisan just like it says to in the book of Exodus and Leviticus 23:5To learn more about this important subject please request a free copy of Holidays or Holy Days Which Should We ObserveKeep Reading »
