1 | Where did Easter get its name? | NT general Archive 1 | charis | 1595 | ||
Yes, my friend,the origin is pagan. "The word (Easter) is of Saxon origin, Eastra, the goddess of spring, in whose honor sacrifices were offered about Passover time each year. By the eighth century Anglo-Saxons had adopted the name to designate the celebration of Christ's resurrection." (New Unger's Bible Dictionary) It is mentioned once in the Bibles I checked: "And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." Acts 12:4 KJV. I posted this last night (Japan time) but it got lost. (Must be 'Mir' related :-) In Christ Jesus. |

Yes, my friend, Easter is a pagan "holy" day. Paul told the Galatian saints that he feared them because they worshiped "days, and times, and seasons." He felt he had bestowed labor upon them in vain. The custom of the goddess Ishtar, or Eastara, can be traced all the way back to Babylonian mysticism. It came up through the false church (Roman Catholicism)and is, sadly, accepted today by many other institutions. | ||||||

HI, M.Sinapen... Why do you think that argument would be contrary to Scripture? The truth matters. If we are unwilling to dispute false doctrine, then we defer to Satan. There is an old saying, "The lazy shepherd is friend of the wolf." In Him, Doc |
