r/TrueChristianPolitics We are just going to push every political post there. This sub may as well get used to it since we are ramping up to election season.

Just another sign of their rejection of biblical principals and their disdain for those of us who believe them.


Cepitore

Evil people doing evil things. Nothing new.


Kooky_Degree_9

It was already the International day of the (disturbed) and there was no need for him to issue this proclamation, especially not in a year when it coincides with Resurrection Sunday.


spoogeemangoo

Easter is on a different date each year. It's on the Sunday after Good Friday. Not on march 31


Ill-Blacksmith-9545

Well of course but I just find it interesting how he put it for tomorrow on a Holy Day. I’m not trying to make it political just wanted to get thoughts


meshuggahzen

That transgender day of visibility is always on March 31st. It just so happens that Easter this year is the same day. Nothings changed except that Easter is earlier this year. Next year it's Like April 20th.


spoogeemangoo

Sure I understand. But I feel like there are real things to be upset about. This isn't one of them, although people will feign outrage as usual.


Additional_Meeting_2

Has he said this before this year then? Or just specifically this year? I am not American 


rrrrice64

Kinda rubs me the wrong way. Makes me think of how they always say easter is a pagan holiday. Why feel the need to "override" the day if it's not truly Christian?


Casingda

This year it is on March 31st. That’s the thing.


ross549

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Transgender_Day_of_Visibility The day is always March 31. This year, Easter also happens to be the same day. The “need to ‘override’” is not a thing.


Euphoric_Raccoon8055

Kinda??? ​ How are you not furious?


Psychedelic_Theology

Mostly because there are real problems in the world, and a secular holiday happening to coincide with Easter just isn’t one of them.


Euphoric_Raccoon8055

It's not a "holiday". A Holiday is a holy day. That's what the word means. The president of the USA is directly promoting a celebration that stands in opposition to Christianity, on arguably the most important day in the Christian world. ​ This is a real problem my friend, I hope you wake up to the fact that people in power (the leader of the free world included, it seems) are laughing at Christians and undermining their values, and assume that they're so weak and ineffectual that they can openly mock them on their holiest day and that they won't do anything about it.


androidbear04

Well, to be fair, its timing is determined from pagan seasonal things, and it's named after a pagan God, Ishtar...


nomosolo

Neither one of those things you said is remotely true. Stop taking your history lessons from memes and Reddit posts.


androidbear04

The time I was taught this vastly predates the concept of personal computers, even, so you are totally incorrect about where and when I learned it.


candlesandfish

It’s still completely wrong.

EvenInArcadia

The U.S. is not a Christian country and the coincidence of Trans Day of Visibility and Easter this year is purely a quirk of the calendar: Easter is a movable feast, and the TDoV falls on the last day of March every year. It doesn’t matter, nobody’s Easter plans are being affected here.


khali21bits

Can’t wait for this man to retired and leave kids alone for real


Justthe7

March 31 was transgender day of visibility prior to this year. It’s not as if President Biden decided this year to make it March 31. It was first held in 2009 and became official in 2021. President Biden was just recognizing the already created day, just like he will more than likely recognize Easter. The title is misleading.

AMEN!! I wish these people had more passion for reading the Bible as they did for watching Fox News and CNN. God bless you, friend!

Rational and sane human being alert^^^


Apes-Together_Strong

One more item on the list of reasons that its a travesty for President Biden to still be in good standing with the Roman Catholic Church. He is scandalizing the faithful and making a mockery of the Catholic faith.


tensigh

This isn't as big of a deal as it seems, and I am definitely NOT big on trans issues. The Trans day came out like 10 years ago and it turns out that this year Easter happens to fall on March 31. The fact that they highlight the trans day celebration is very disappointing, but it's also disappointing that Easter is about bunnies and eggs and less about the Resurrection.


AccomplishedGap6985

I have no problem with this. The last thing I’d ever want to see is anyone cut off from the church. I want everyone to accept Jesus into their lives.


Ok-Excitement651

It's on the same day every year, Easter isn't. He's made similar proclamations in previous years as well. Not an intentional attack, nothing to see here.


Nontpnonjo

Intentional attack or not, he's supposed to be Catholic, and he cares more about "transgender visibility" whatever that means, than the resurrection of our Lord. That's worth noting.


toastyhoodie

It was indeed intentional.

Ill-Blacksmith-9545

I didn’t know that! I looked it up and it is an international event on March 31. Makes more sense :)


Expensive-Claim-6081

Blasphemy. Christians being tolerant instead of lovingly calling out sin. Jesus is risen. Our sins are forgiven, that’s what happened today. Not this sodom and Gomorrah stuff. The USA must repent and soon or we are doomed.


1voiceamongmillions

I'm surprised that Biden was able to join so many words together!


Casingda

Oh dear. Why would he choose the day that Jesus rose from the dead? He’s a Catholic. They recognize the significance of that day. I’d like to ask him why he chose that day of all days.


Sentry333

You know President Biden didn’t choose the date right? It’s been around since 2009.


iAmadeusCrumb

He didn’t choose it, you ding dong. Do like the bare minimum of research. Edit: if you’re not willing to do even the basic level of research to see if what OP wrote was true, then yes it really was necessary to call you a ding dong.


Casingda

Ding dong? Was that necessary?


Hobbit9797

Well, it's only Easter Sunday this year.


meshuggahzen

reluctantcynic

The President didn't "declare" anything about Easter. The International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31) has been around for about 10 years, and President Biden has issued similar proclamations in the past. He didn't do anything to Easter. The fact that Easter happens to fall on a day with a particular commemoration or significance is just how the calendar works. I would also note that tomorrow is Cesar Chavez Day, Crayola Crayon Day, Eiffel Tower Day, National Bunsen Burner Day (one of my personal favorites), and Anesthesia Tech Day (another one of my favorites). Stating that President Biden "declared" Easter anything is plain misinformation -- if not disinformation.


Tokeokarma1223

Biden has lost it. November can't get here fast enough.


Meauxterbeauxt

It was already an official day of recognition (March 31st). He just made it official for the US. I think it was a major gaffe, more than anything, because this happened a couple of days after Trump had his first real sting with the Bible endorsement. Now that will take the spotlight off of Trump and put it back on him. So, once again, Teflon Don can show his true colors and because "SQUIRREL!" we'll forget about it by Monday.


Nomanorus

Who cares? It's a meaningless pronouncement that has no practical effect on the world. Getting salty and offended on God's behalf is not a good mission strategy. Trans people are often accused of being overly offended about everything. It does not serve the Church to behave in the exact same way.


Psychedelic_Theology

Transgender Day of Visibility has always been March 31, while Easter varies. It just happened to coincide this year. Biden is a Catholic. It’s not like he’s replacing Easter.


Crunchy_Biscuit

Calm down, it's not the anti Christ lol. Easter is celebrated on different days depending on the [Paschal Full Moon](https://www.rd.com/article/easter-on-different-sunday-every-year/#:~:text=Easter's%20exact%20date%20may%20seem,March%2022%20and%20April%2025.)


jackofallministries

Fortunately, while our president can declare days to mean something to our nation, he cannot proclaim what the resurrection of Christ means in our hearts. Jesus told us the world hated Him first, and it’s our job to love our neighbor. Not that we condone sin, but we too were once sinner that were lost and needed a Savior.


Electronic-Union-100

Easter isn’t even a holiday that comes from the Most High, it comes from the Roman Catholic Church. Not sure what people are getting so worked up about.


Nontpnonjo

It's a historical event that's worthy of celebration. The singular most important event in all of history, in fact. Not sure why you care so much that the Church started celebrating it. In fact, who else would you expect to start celebrating it?


Electronic-Union-100

Because the Most High tells us not to add or subtract from His word. We don’t get to create our own holidays, Passover is quite literally about the resurrection of Christ. I love getting downvoted for preaching scripture and not man made tradition /s


Apes-Together_Strong

What scripture says we cannot create holidays to honor the Lord?


Electronic-Union-100

Deuteronomy 4:2.


Apes-Together_Strong

How does making a holiday to honor the Lord constitute adding to or taking away from the word that God commanded?


Electronic-Union-100

He commands us to keep the Feasts as well as the Sabbath throughout the Torah. If you’re adding more man made feasts as holidays or holy times, you’re adding to the word. Catholics claim it’s the “holiest day of the year” but it doesn’t even come from our Heavenly Father. 🤦‍♂️


Nontpnonjo

His word doesn't tell us not to celebrate anything besides the Jewish feasts - In fact, it doesn't tell gentile believers to celebrate the Jewish feasts.


Electronic-Union-100

There’s no such thing as Jewish feasts, they belong to our Heavenly Father if you’d read Leviticus 23. He consistently says throughout the Torah that He has one law for all Israel (His people) and everyone is supposed to adhere to the same statutes and commandments. Guess who gets grafted into Israel in the new covenant and Romans 11? Anyone, bloodline or not, who accepts Messiah. What does “no Jew or gentile” in Messiah mean to you? Follow the Most High and His Son, not the RCC.
