1 | Yes, but Is Easter of pagan origin? | NT general Archive 1 | Alive | 1674 | ||
The tradition of bunny rabbits, easter eggs etc. is if pagan origin. But, we as christians are not supposed to celebrate of pagan "reasons". I'm sorry about the missunderstanding of your question - I'm swedish, and we have the word "påsk" for easter, and the hebrew word should be "pasha" or "pesha" - meaning "passing over". Even though, I don't think it's something wrong with celebrating either christmas or easter with eggs and candies - Read Colossians about celebrations of different days... |

2 | Where did Easter get its name? | NT general Archive 1 | Alive | 1584 | ||
No, it's not true. Read my comment to your other question for more information. The celebration of Christmas, at the other hand, is a pagan celebration. |

3 | Is Easter mentioned in the Bible? | NT general Archive 1 | Alive | 1583 | ||
Yes. The Easter is mentioned in many places, and it's origin is found in Eodus chap. 11-13. The lamb offered for the people of Israel, is a paralell to Jesus, our Lamb. | ||||||
4 | WHY DO WE NEED TO EVANGALIZE? | Acts 1:8 | Alive | 849 | ||
Well, first of all - please try not to use capitals when you write - in "computerlanguage" that means screaming. God is not limited by time. In one way, we can say that God looks at the time from "outside" - as a paralell we can make a likness to when we look on a timeline, we see what has happened, and we can see it all at the same time. Our future is like an open book to God, and he sees what will happen. But we are not supposed to be concerned about that, because if we think that God will save them that are "predestinated" - because then God won't have possibility to save them. God knows what will happen, and he also knows if i will sit still on my back and do nothing - and even though he knows it - he does not like it. |

5 | What is the nature of the beast (666)? | Rev 13:18 | Alive | 449 | ||
First of all, you must admit that the name of Jesus is not english. Nor is the number 666 english. Jesus was a Jew, and his name in peoples mouth were "Joshua". Me, as a swedish man, has another alphabeth then the english one. Also the greek differs from the english, as well as the hebrew. If we are to get involved in telling and counting - at least we have to hold on to the original languages. If we are supposed to do these countings, addings and dividings, is another question. How do you know that the number 666 should be divided in 76, to get the right understanding of the number? Why isn't it supposed to be subtraction och multiplication? The world "calculate", I think, is not supposed to be understood as should we be mathematical genius to understand the bible, but furthermore that we must have the knowledge of the spirit, that Paul tells us about in Ephesians. There are more things to be asked in this matter, but let him who has understanding calculate... Excuse my bad english... |
