2 Timothy 3:sc2-5 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. |

Christopher, always appreciate your gentle approach.
No one is saying that someone will go to Hell for doing so but, on the other hand, Scripture ought not to be compromised.
God clearly told us how are to remember Him. Churches celebrate easter because Rome does and pagans do.
Christ is our Passover. God told the Jews when to have Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread. It was a specific time Leviticus 23:5.
The RC church at Geneva dictated when Easter would be observed (first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox).
Easter in Scripture is not easter observed in church today. It was either the Jewish Passover or a pagan celebration. If it was the Jewish Passover and we wanted to look back at the shadow, then we may as well drop easter and do the Jewish Passover as outlined in Scripture...but, of course, Paul had a rebuke for those who were doing similarly-
(Galatians)
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he went further to seize Peter also. (And they were days of Unleavened Bread.)
John-
Peter was preaching Christ.
The Jews shouted "crucify Him" in regards to Jesus.
What pleased the Jews in regards to Peter?
Herod, more likely than not, celebrated easter.He was an Edomite and the OT is full of gods, includong, the queen of heaven,etc.
I read the aig article.
They basically suggest that even if easter was about a goddess and fertility that today it is of no effect if it means something else to Christians.
Never mind that it is, as all RC holy days, observed base on a date which is erroneous.
Aig is a very good ministry but they are way off when it comes to holidays.
Easter is in the Bible and we don't have the liberty to celebrate it, especially, if it was indeed a pagan celebration then...here's a clue: it is today. Much confusion for unbelievers and children and just makes a case for subjectivity to rule over objectivity.
Dolores- truth matters more than feelings.
Easter,however, is a good barometer as to that which people care for most. Truth doesn't need to be sweetened up. Those who are hungry and thirsty for it will joyfully receive it as is. |
