Dodging questions, a poor representative of the Catholic Church-you believe in purgatory? Praying to the dead?
Is there any point in continuing this? You have ZERO interest in understanding where I am coming from.

Correct, nada interest where you are coming from, casting doubts on the infallibility of the Scriptures--would you like this in Hebrew, Greek, Swahili, umlimi LweziZulu?

So, Saint Steven, anything else you want to get off your chest?-just to let you know, I don't have anything against Catholics, I have fine, upstanding Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, our great God and Savior.

My, my--

"What did Jesus die to save us from?"
"What did God die to save us from?"

1 John 5:20- We know that God’s son has come and has given us understanding to know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true by being in his son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. -CEB

Would be interesting to see when @Bible Highlighter reads this.
Most in the Textual Critic camp attack the King James Bible in Acts 12:4 because of the use of the word “Easter” instead of Passover.

Acts 12:4 (KJB)
“And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”

Acts 12:4 (NIV)
”After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.”

So is it Passover or Easter?

Here are some snapshots (in the Kindle E-book) from the book called, “Don’t Passover Easter:”

The book also takes a look at the various Textus Receptus Bibles that came before the King James and it translates the word Passover (from the KJB) in other places as Easter at times.

full



The Kindle Version (E-Book) at amazon is like 3 US dollars. Really cheap, and it is worth the money spent for the information you get.

Side Note:

I will leave these images up until you see it, and I will later take them down. The book is a quick 20-25 minute read but it is jam packed with a lot of good information.

Basically the word “Easter” is a synonym (or just another word) for the “Jewish Passover.”
In other words, both translations in this case are correct. Easter means the Jewish Passover. It’s just another way of saying Jewish Passover.

Side Note 2:

I highlighted the important text in the book.
In Kindle Ebook reader, you can highlight the texts of E-books (Which is cool).

I hope this helps, and may God bless you and your family this fine day He has made.

Correct you are, only occurrence in Act 12:4 and is, as you rightly observed, Easter is synonymous with Pesach--no contradiction in the KJV.

When he had Kefa seized, he put him in the beis hasohar, having handed him over to four squads of chaiyalim to guard him, intending after Pesach to bring him before the people.

I'll see if I can get this on the PDFdrive.

Thank you and shalom to you and family.

There is FAR more than that.
However, most take it as EASTER.....
Really-well, we can go to ancient rabbinical writings, Talmud, Mishna etc.-how many times the word "Easter" in the KJV?

And I concur with our brother-synonymous with Pesach-no contradiction.
