The Jewish Passover occurs on a different day to "Ressurection Sunday" aka Easter (3 days earlier) so could the KJV be correct in naming Easter as the name of the pagan festival of Estarte coincidental to Ressurection Sunday as it wouldn't align correctly with the Jewish Feast of Passover or the following days High Sabbath of Unleavened Bread?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731292796376382241.post-79933347119628120092011-07-07T12:22:49.350-05:002011-07-07T12:22:49.350-05:00Anonymous (July 1, 2011),
Thank you for your comm...Anonymous (July 1, 2011),<br /><br />Thank you for your comment. However, there are some things you brought up that I would like to address. Without further research on my part, I cannot say whether or not Passover and Easter were concurrent the year Christ died.<br /><br />You are correct that committees of later version did not use the same source material as the translators of the KJV. They have better and more source material available to them (such as the dead sea scrolls). Based upon all textual evidence, the original writings would not have used Easter, but Passover. This conclusion is reached by the fact that the vast majority of copies we have use Passover and that Jewish authors would have used the Jewish name for the Jewish festival occurring at that time and not the name for a pagan festival taking place at the same time, if that were in fact the case. <br /><br />Lastly, I'm not sure what you mean by revisors because the modern english translators were not revising the KJV but performing an entirely new translation in modern english that was faithful as possible to the original writings. I'm also not familiar with the biographies you mention, but I can assure that no modern english translation was undertaken with the desire to discredit the King James Version.Mr. Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630620286598393193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731292796376382241.post-73715696594416571552011-07-01T13:34:33.421-05:002011-07-01T13:34:33.421-05:00The KJV translators did not get it wrong.

The significance of the coincidence helps to properly date the events astronomically. The later versions removed it, because the committees did not use the same source material for the passage as the KJV. Also the motive of the revisors and their committees was to discredit the KJV at all costs.
