Easter
It’s about time for Christians to stop offering up Christ in sacrifice on the cross every Easter.
Just because Christ is willing to offer this service, that doesn’t mean it’s right to continue to engage in it.
Deep down the Christian knows the sacrifice God really demands. Your current faith. Your comfort. Your life.
But the Christian is still unwilling to stretch himself to this extent. So the pattern repeats again this year. Christ gets nailed to the cross once more.

Christians celebrate Easter to commemorate Christ's resurrection from the dead , not His sacrifice on the cross at Calvary.
What you are describing is what is commonly called Good Friday. And Good Friday is a commemoration of Christ's once-for-all- sacrifice for the sins of the world.
I shouldn't be surprised I suppose that you're so ignorant of Historic Christianity that you literally don't know the difference between Easter and Good Friday.
You claim you're so wise, and yet you know less about the basics of Christianity than an average Kindergarten Sunday School student.
Readers should note well that Craig1120 's last post completely and utterly demonstrated (as if there was any doubt before this) that he is a charlatan!
He claims all these deep insights into spiritual truths and Christianity, yet literally doesn't even know basic Christian facts that even the skeptics in this forum know!
Craig1120 is literally more ignorant of basic Christian facts than virtually any adult in the Western World with a functioning brain!
Cripple fight! Criiiiiiiiipple fight!
Is Good Friday considered part of the Easter holiday?
Yes, Good Friday is considered part of the Easter holiday. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ and is observed during Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday, which celebrates His resurrection.
Again, Christ is willing to continue to offer himself up in sacrifice every Easter in perpetuity.
But it’s like Trinity tells Neo in The Matrix, “Neo, please, you have to trust me."
> Neo: "Why?"
> Trinity: "Because you have been down there, Neo. You know that road. You know exactly where it ends. And I know that's not where you want to be."
It’s the path of the same repeated cycle. No growth. No progression of the story. Still waiting on the promised Kingdom in this world.
Good Friday and Easter are considered part of Holy Week.
Christ isn't sacrificed on Easter though, which you have asserted at least twice in this thread.
Jesus resurrection confirmed what he accomplished on Good Friday.
For someone with such (self-proclaimed) insights on spiritual matters, it is a thing to behold how ignorant you are on really basic stuff.
At least you know how to use ChatGPT. That should help you to catch up with the rest of us, which is encouraging.
Christ offered himself as a ransom (or as penal substitution) because humanity serves the god of the dead.
Only Satan desires death.
It’s true the wages of sin is death, but this is only because sin separates humanity from the fullness of life.
Followers of Christ are called to serve the living God, which is not easy because the living God only wants relationship with those who truly consent. And true consent requires a great effort.
The god of death has no concern about consent. He wedges himself in between you and God.
He forces Christians to serve death without realizing it because he is manipulative, and he is dead.
He wedges himself in between you and God.
By offering himself as a ransom (or penal substitute), Christ wedged himself in between humanity and Satan.

He's a new age gnostic kook. Dude IS NOT a Christian.
The Christian story is moving forward with or without traditional Christians.
If you need to grieve, then that’s understandable, but don’t align yourself with evil and try to resist God’s will.
Happy Easter everyone! Celebrate with your family and loved ones
