Come on! Lucifer means "Light Bearer"!
I was afraid that was it. Well, chalk it up to a bad comparison. All I meant is that this is what governs regardless of whether each of us understands it fully and despite the fact that many people disagree on what it requires. I think my other example is better, don't you?You cited law and, specifically, the Constitution as something which requires interpretation.
No, they don't. And it wouldn't matter anyway--not so far as Sola Scriptura is concerned.I believe the same is true of Scripture. To maintain unity there must be a final authority to provide interpretation. And frankly, I believe even Protestants would agree with me on that.
I once asked a canon lawyer if it was permissible to name a child after one of the processors at the beginning of Mass. He asked which one, and I said the candle-bearer. He was about to shake his head when he realized what I was getting at...you know, the thurifer, the crucifer, and the lucifer...Actually on Sardinia I believe henis venerated as a saint despite not being in the Roman martyrology; which raises the amusing prospect of someone venerating St. Lucifer!
Of course you are right to point out the name in a historical sense lacks the diabolical connotations which it has acquired due largely to mistranslation in the KJV. So that we for example have a number of occultists who have taken the name Lucien as a means of alluding to their sinister religious views.
Actually, this is seldom true.
Untrue as well. Sacred Tradition is based on Scripture.
Mat. 28:1-4 and context of Christ at creation necessitates a sunset resurrection.Why would you NOT celebrate the Resurrection of Christ on Sunday?
What I took from his post is that the differences between the two truly is as superficial as their choice of vestments. There's no significant doctrinal difference at play. If the differences between them includes vestments and esoteric issues concerning polity and ecclesiology, it can be fairly said that they are very close indeed.
The relevance there is you claim they all "follow tradition" but have somehow reached different destinations with respect to core theological positions. His post shows that to be not true at all.
Mat. 28:1-4 and context of Christ at creation necessitates a sunset resurrection.
Sunday morning was Pentecost, giving of the Spirit.
You can't have it both ways, they contradict.This is true, per scriptures, Jesus did rise from the grave shortly after the sun went down Saturday evening and did in fact rise early in the morning on the 1st day of the week.
Except that Matthew 28:1-4 says he rose AT DAWN, when the women came. Nothing in these verses indicate a sunset resurrection like you say.Mat. 28:1-4 and context of Christ at creation necessitates a sunset resurrection.

Sunday Morning was the day of Pentecost, in the Jewish way of counting. Yeah your interpretation is in McCovey Cove-a Splash Hit.Mat. 28:1-4 and context of Christ at creation necessitates a sunset resurrection.
Sunday morning was Pentecost, giving of the Spirit.
Ah, there's your problem KJV...or your interpretation...although we do celebrate Easter at Midnight (though some put it earlier to make it convenient...)No its true. He DID NOT rise at dawn and I have covered this in detail before. He all discovered he was gone at dawn, but he DID not rise sunday morning at dawn.
This is straight out the 1611 KJV and our current KJV
Matthew 28:1 1611 KJV
In the ende of the Sabbath, as it began to dawne towards the first day of the weeke, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:1(KJV)
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
The day ended at sunset, so it clearly states as the Sabbath was ending and the 1st day of the week was beginning, he rose. The new day began when it got dark, so when it got dark, it was now Sunday and early in the morning on the 1st day of the week, just like the scriptures state.
Morning is not just after Shabbat ends. All for gospels say that it was early in the morning. Matthew 1:2-4 follow up the women coming to the tomb with an account of the resurrection, meaning that Christ rose as the women were coming to the tomb.No its true. He DID NOT rise at dawn and I have covered this in detail before. He all discovered he was gone at dawn, but he DID not rise sunday morning at dawn.

Pentecost is always on a Sunday. Pascha was a floating observance.I don't get that "Pentecost" part, though.
We're getting off topic. Suffice to say this. Compare the guards' reaction and the women's reaction at the tomb.Except that Matthew 28:1-4 says he rose AT DAWN, when the women came. Nothing in these verses indicate a sunset resurrection like you say.
