Verses about how God love us
Saturday, March 15, 2014
God overthrown the wicked but the upright shall flourish
The house of the wicked shall be
overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. Proverbs 14:11
How
successful is your family? How long will it last? What impact will it have for
truth and wisdom? God and men will overthrow the house of the wicked, but they
will bless and favor the estate of the righteous. Solomon watched families of
wicked men come and go, but he saw the godly seed of the righteous continuing
in prosperity for generations (Ps 37:34-40). Here is a proverb that condemns
the wicked and encourages the upright.

Lenten season or Holy week: How we remember Jesus passion
 |

Holy week is the last week of 40 days of Lenten season; it's started on Palm Sunday remembering the triumph entrance of Jesus in Jerusalem where the people laid palm leaves in the street when Jesus passes. The last week is a holy week was a remembrance of Jesus passion, death and resurrection.
Other important moments of the celebration, specifically, the memorial of the Lord's death on Good Friday, and Holy Thursday. The latter involved no fewer than three very different Eucharistic celebrations.
According to the various sources of different liturgies, a Mass was celebrated to reconcile sinners, a Chrism Mass and a Mass in the evening to commemorate the institution of the Eucharist.
In the present-day liturgy, the Easter triduum begins on Holy Thursday evening with the Mass of the Lord's Supper and is united to the first day of the triduum which is, in itself, Good Friday of the Passion of the Lord.
The second day is Holy Saturday of the Lord's burial, a day of silence, fasting and expectation. There is no Eucharist that day, as a sign of expectation. The Church pauses before the crucified Lord's sepulcher and awaits his resurrection. With the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, the third day of the Easter triduum begins: Sunday of the Lord's resurrection.
Why the date of holy week is different every year?
Because the date of Palm Sunday depends on the date of Easter, the dates of Holy Week change every year. It depend on Paschal Full Moon
What is the Paschal Full Moon?
By Mary Fairchild In the early days of the Christian church, Easter was celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the first astronomical full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox. Over the course of history, beginning in 325 AD with the Council of Nicea, the Western Church decided to establish a more standardized system for determining the date of Easter. Astronomers were able to approximate the dates of all the full moons in future years for the Western Christian churches, thus establishing a table of Ecclesiastical Full Moon dates. These dates would determine the Holy Days on the Ecclesiastical Calendar.
Though modified slightly from its original form, by 1583 AD the table for determining the Ecclesiastical Full Moon dates was permanently established and has been used ever since to determine the date of Easter. Thus, according to the Ecclesiastical tables, the Paschal (Passover) Full Moon is the first Ecclesiastical Full Moon date after March 20 (which happened to be the vernal equinox date in 325 AD). So, in Western Christianity, Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the Paschal Full Moon. The Paschal Full Moon can vary as much as two days from the date of the actual full moon, with dates ranging from March 21 to April 18. As a result, Easter dates can range from March 22 through April 25 in Western Christianity.
This not to attack anybody but to tell what the bible says, about how we remember the Lord passion, death and resurrection.
According to Father Flores of Rome, this Lenten event is come from ancient original core of Holy Week is the Easter Vigil, of which there were traces already in the second century of the Christian era. The Easter Vigil was extended in time and transformed into the triduum of the Lord's passion, death and resurrection, which St. Augustine already mentioned as a very generalized celebration.
It says that it’s in remembrance of the Lord passion, death and resurrection, but the Lord Jesus told us how we remember him "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 1Cor. 11:23-26. this the way we should remember the lords death, that’s why a true bible believer didn’t joined in holy week. They conduct a holy suffer in remembrance of the lord Jesus.
If you are a true Christian believer, you will follow it? What the apostles say about the gospel not come from God. "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!" Gal 1:8-9. they will condemned. I don’t want to be condemned!
What we should follow the teaching of men or the teaching of God.
