Easter and Tammuz and Jesus?

~ Sherry ~ Leave a comment

“Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.” ` Deuteronomy 12:30

FTA: While many of the pagan customs associated with the celebration of Spring were at one stage practised alongside Christian Easter traditions, they eventually came to be absorbed within Christianity, as symbols of the resurrection of Jesus. (my note: this is syncretism-combining paganism and Christianity in the unlawful worship to God) source

Ever since the first prophesy to mankind, recorded in Genesis 3:15, man has tried to fulfill it with their own ideas and gods. Myths and legends abound to this day. And, sadly, incorporating these myths’ traditions into Christianity has many believing that Christianity is just another pagan religion. Christians have not obeyed God in setting themselves apart from the pagan religions and it has muddied the truth that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, the only Redeemer.

FTA: Today, Tammuz’s cultural legacy is evident in various cultural practices, including the celebration of Easter. The resurrection of Jesus during Easter has similarities to the myth of Tammuz’s resurrection and highlights the cyclical nature of life and death…The worship of Tammuz was accompanied by ancient rituals, such as the weeping for Tammuz, a ritual during which women mourned the death of the deity. Archaeologists have discovered that Tammuz’s worship involved a range of practices such as sacrifices in his honor, singing hymns to his name, and participating in temple rites…Tammuz’s cultural legacy and relevance can still be seen in modern society. Although he was worshiped long ago, his significance continues to influence the world today, making his story an intriguing aspect of Ancient Near East’s history and mythology. His popularity allows us to understand the culture and traditions of Mesopotamia, providing an insight into how human belief systems have evolved throughout history. source

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. – 1 Peter 2 :9

Modern Christianity — a hymn for today. The ending may surprise you.

Vain, Unholy Worship

~ Sherry ~ 1 Comment

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see and none so deaf as those who refuse to hear. They have all become as dumb as their idols in their mixing of Our Most Holy God and Savior with the vain unholy implements of sun god worship. They have lost the ability to discern the truth from the lies. They read their Bibles but are given no revelation knowledge of the mind of Christ. Will they pray for God to reveal to them all of the lies they are believing as truth, such as the lies in X Mass? No! They love the Christo-pagan “holy” day more than they love God. They fear man and are worried about what the others will say. The women and children rule over the husbands and fathers. They provoke the LORD to jealousy not even realizing that their lack of discernment is the judgement, that the lies are embraced within them, and they call it “truth.” God gives them over to their hearts’ desire to worship another “Jesus.”

Joy for the Cast-Out

~ Sherry ~ 1 Comment

Hear the Word of the Lord, ye that tremble at His guard; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for My name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but He shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. -Isaiah 66:5 

Possibly this text may not apply to one in a thousand of the readers of this little book of promises; but the Lord cheers that one in such words as these. Let us pray for all such as are cast out wrongfully from the society which they love. May the Lord appear to their joy!

The text applies to truly gracious men who tremble at the word of the Lord. These were hated of their brethren and at length cast out because of their fidelity and their holiness. This must have been very bitter to them; and all the more so because their casting out was done in the name of religion, and professedly with the view of glorifying God. How much is done for the devil in the name of God! The use of the name of Jehovah to add venom to the bite of the old serpent is an instance of his subtlety.

The appearing of the Lord for them is the hope of His persecuted people. He appears as the advocate and defender of His elect; and when He does so it means a clear deliverance for the God-fearing and shame for their oppressors. O Lord, fulfill this word to those whom men are deriding! ~ C.H. Spurgeon

Perverting the First Promise

~ Sherry ~ Leave a comment

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel.

This is the first promise of a Redeemer that was said to Adam and Eve. Until the Tower of Babel, and after, many satan inspired false religions tried to fulfill or abort this promise (meaning to get people to believe a lie as truth thus keeping them from the true Redeemer). This is how pagan religions began. Mother-child goddess worship is a perversion of God’s first promise of a Redeemer.
