1 | Are Christmas and Easter pagan in origin | Gal 4:10 | peachy | 3562 | ||
My sister and I were discussing the origins of Christmas and Easter. Is there anyone who has the info regarding their pagan origins. Did the christian community really adopt the pagan celebrations and add Christ to it? I know that in Acts 12:4 King James translated Easter into the context of the Scripture. What does the original Greek say? Easter or Passover? Thanks for the help. I am really enjoying the Forum...Peachy | ||||||

Christmas and Easter are definitely pagan in origin. Twenty years ago, many Bible believers would readily admit that. However, it seems that many have forsaken that view because they know it runs people off. Perhaps we are too concerned with "nickels and noses" in this day and age. Both of these holidays were brought from polytheism (which is rooted in Babylonianism) into the false church, Roman Catholicism--thus the term "Christ-mass." Easter actually comes from the pagan god Ishtar, or Eastara. What these holidays are is a mixture of some truth and some pagan. For instance, Christ was really born of a virgin, in a manger, and there were really wise men (though the Scripture says nothing of 3 wise men, just 3 gifts). The Romans instituted something that was never instructed by or ever observed by the early churches--Christmas. They mixed a little truth with a lot of error producing error--a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. As for the word Easter appearing in Acts 12:4, that Greek word is never translated anything but passover in the Bible except in that one spot. God bless. |

I know that the church has joined in the pagan ways of celebrating the Birth of Christ. For one thing Christ's birth was most likely not in December. Most sad of all the sadness of gifts being almost seventy percent OF MOST BUSINESS yearly gross. How many of us spend our budget into a tail spin just to please our children, parents, and employers? I can't understand why we don't kick Santa out and call it what it is Christ's birth celebrated. Think on this, satan/santa, same letters put in a different order. Think there might be a connection? | ||||||
