Easter (Astarte) is of pagan orgins.
Christ became our Passover when he when he was crucified and defeated
death with his resurrection ! All the blood sacrifices of the Old Testament where stopped. It was the blood of the lamb that saved the Hebrews in the exodus and it was the Blood of the Lamb on the cross that open the door to all of Gods children to eternal life. With that said it is not the eggs or bunnies or sun worship for little children that is wrong it is placing these things in our houses of worship in the place of Christ that is such a abomination to our Lord. EASTER pascha NT:3957 mistranslated "Easter" in Acts 12:4 , KJV, denotes the Passover (RV). The phrase "after the Passover" signifies after the whole festival was at an end. The term "Easter" is not of Christian origin. It is another form of Astarte, one of the titles of the Chaldean goddess, the queen of heaven. The festival of Pasch held by Christians in post- apostolic times was a continuation of the Jewish feast, but was not instituted by Christ, nor was it connected with Lent. From this Pasch the pagan festival of "Easter" was quite distinct and was introduced into the apostate Western religion, as part of the attempt to adapt pagan festivals to Christianity. See PASSOVER. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words ) now read what God had to say about the queen of heaven and those whom worship the queen of heaven in Gods house of worship.

Vernal Equinox
The Vernal Equinox was when they celebrated Easter. Eastre was the pagan
goddess of fertility. Bunnies and rolling of eggs . The sunrise services that are done are also a left over of Babylon Sun worship. These are all part of Baal worship. There some very interesting facts to be found in a study of the Assyrian Tablets that where unearthed. I have a link for anybody that would like to take look a very interesting study that agrees with the Bible. http://www.asis.com/~stag/tablets.html Enjoy, Isaac-Saxxon |

Holidays
Most modern Christian holidays are when they are because they were trying to overwrite other religions. Does the Bible make any mention of Jesus being born on December 25th? Of Easter even being during the Spring?

Christ birthday
The Bible does thru much study tell us that Christ birthday is September 29th
and He began to dwell with man in December ! Religion is man made and Christianity is of Christ. Now Easter is not in the original manuscripts and we should take communion at true Passover. This is not anti Christian but what Christianity is all about. |

Original Meaning
::POST WAS REMOVED::
I removed this post because it was based on several points I made in confusion. See my first post on page 2 for the correct information. Last edited by Tomoshibi; 12-22-2006 at 05:44 PM. |

Sun God, Bel, or Bal, or Baal
Bel and the Dragon. They go hand in hand. The bunnies and eggs are in the church in the "place" of Passover. Christ became our Passover and this is the very thing that makes God "L" very unhappy with the pagan things in the Christian Church.

This is America and freedom of religion is how we got here
Freedom to be any religion be it Christian, Jew, Pagan or any other religion and when one try's to put the others down to build themselves up it is wrong.Let each stand on its on merits not the slash and burn from others.

Quote:
It is unusual for you to say that having bunnies and eggs in church is a Pagan thing and that it makes God unhappy. By Christian standards, the bunnies and eggs are creations of God as well. I dare not say that your beliefs are wrong. However, God surely wouldn't be unhappy that we have chosen to adopt a bit of harmless frivolity with other creations of his. When God said for us to honor our neighbors, I am certain he wasn't merely referring to the guy who lives next door. He wanted us to acknowledge all of our neighboring lifeforms by every sense of the word. Any other detail is unimportant (i.e. race, age, gender, religion, or who the last people to honor your neighbor was). If I am understanding you correctly, I gather that any tradition that was once a Pagan rite or routine is surely wrong in the eyes of God. I take no offense one way or the other, but is this what you are implying? |

You lost me there. What dragon are you referring to?
Dear Tomoshibi, I feel like I know just after three post You sound well versed in being a pagan and proud of it. If you would like to know about "The Story of Bel and the Dragon" it can be found on page 363 of the "Apocrypha" by Edgar J. Goodspeed along with many other great writings.These are books not canonized in the King James Bible. Makes for a great read and very spiritual. Who was "that old Dragon" is this the man "Ish" that deceived the whole world ?
Isaac-Saxxon Question ? Is there a special meaning to your Avatar name "Tomoshib" ? I tried and I did come up with some ideas as to what it means but nothing for sure. |

Actually, Tomoshibi is a Japanese word meaning "light." I used this as the last name of a fictional character I once wrote about.

No, I don't know anything about Japanese Maples, but I do like the Japanese sakura (cherry blossoms). My affiliation with the Japanese culture is mostly due to my anime fandom. I watch a lot of anime ever since I was a kid and I study Japanese sometimes.

Judging by some of the topics of 'Today's Posts' it looks like this forum is going Pagan ??? what's up with that.
