Subject: Yes, but Is Easter of pagan origin? |
Bible Note: If we are to celebrate the death of Jesus, please note;Jesus ate the passover meal with his deciples (at night) on "passover (easter). then they went to the mount of olives (the same night) then Jesus was betrayed (that night). Jesus then had to go before pilate, then before Herod, then back to Pilate, so on and so on. this took much time. thus being the next day (or two) before Jesus was crucified. ask yourself, how then can we celebrate Jesus' death on easter when he did not die that same day? further more, no one can (should) judge another for what they do or dont do... that is Gods job. we are to try to correct our brothers and sisters in their errors. easter eggs, the bunny rabbit etc. "are" pagen and can be traced back to the Roman Cathlic church. (go on line and look up your questions in the encyclapediea. this is also true with Christmas, New Years, St. Valentine, St patric, etc. I found out so much that I no longer celebrate anything. P.S. look up Xmas tree, yule log and the complete breakdown of all holidays. |
