1 | Easter questions | Ex 12:2 | John Reformed | 40380 | ||
Dear Angel1, You expressed the desire to mommapbs to overturn Easter and replace it with Resurrection Sunday. You wrote " Mommapbs-definitly "ressurection day " is more worth celebrating than " Ishtar" Lets start getting rid of the false gods. and ,yes, it would wreek havoc with our vacation schedules-God Bless--angel1 Have you found "Ishtaritism" to be a problem in your church? Does your church call Ishtar "Easter"? I must confess my questions were made "tongue in cheek" but I don't mean to be cruel in the asking of them. I do want to know what has promted this negative reaction to a centuries old church tradition. The anti-easter campaign seems to be a modern day phenomena. Were the leaders of the past all asleep lo these many years? Of course not! The problem is there is no problem. The world will continue to rebel against God and His Christ until the 2nd Coming. They are spiritualy dead and cannot understand or recieve spiritual things. So they will not be moved what ever we change the name to. Those who believe the Gospel will be brought into the Church and will learn the true meaning of Easter. Can you give me one positive consequence occuring from this campaign? How do you propose to accomplish this goal? Peace and Grace, John |

Hi john-perhaps I was cavalier in my statement re: ishtar. I don't mean to jump on a bandwagon. Please read Kings-all of it. You will see there a thread. It goes like this-"this king served in Jerusalem-he was x# of years old when his reign began-his mothers name was-he served x# of years" and he either "pleased" God or he didn't. there is only one way listed that pleased God--the king either got rid of all the false gods and brought the people back to the one true God or he didn't.There are a few listed who "pleased God" but not completely-they left a "grove" or "hill". These groves and hills were used by witches for ceremonies. we can't ignore that false gods abound today just as they always have and will-until Jesus returns. By the way-yes, the church fathers have been asleep"lo these many years" and it is time to wake up. in Him angel1 | ||||||

Dear Angel1, False gods do not exist except in the minds of pagans and atheists. Satan is called the god of this world, but he does not meet the requirement of a true god. First of all he is a created being that in itself knocks him out of the running for diety. They are false gods by virtue of the fact that people falsely believe them to be gods! Our task is to preach the Gospel. As for satan, I pray the Father will deliver me from his temptations. I do not fear him because I am in Christ. If I resist satan he will flee. Iam also warned to treat him as a roaring lion and to see to it that he does'nt get his fangs into me. That is why I wear my armor. I do believe we are to follow after the Spirit. May God give us both the grace to so do. Your Brother in Christ, John |
