O you who love the Lord, hate evil! – Psalm 97:10 ~ There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. – Proverbs 14:12
This shows that the Apostles and the early Gentile Christians did not believe in christianizing paganism. This is key to interpreting the Scriptures that most would like to twist to appear as though God approves of these ungodly pagan/papist traditions of men “holy” days.
(Now, perhaps I’ve overlooked the Scripture verse where Paul is telling these new converts to: “Stop! Don’t burn those books! We can make them right with God by baptizing them!”)
You know—it’s not what it means to me. I live in a fallen world, and I am of the sinful nature so why, oh why, would I take my own word or belief and think it to be truth or fact? Simple question, isn’t it? GOD has given us something to know exactly what needs to be done-it guides us because we cannot be trusted to think right for ourselves–because of our sin nature. The WORD condemns any and all pagan rituals. Whether you believe it or not. GOD by HIS very nature cannot, and will not, accept your worship of HIM in those pagan ways–won’t happen no matter how much you believe you are honoring or worshiping HIM. Eggs and bunnies have NOTHING to do with the Resurrection of JESUS. In fact, they are VERY dangerous for any believer to even consider touching. Rev. 3:10 tells us that since we were faithful, we will be kept from THAT time (the most horrible time on earth). We are not faithful when we use pagan rituals or things in our attempt to worship GOD. In fact, that is called Unfaithful. As for me and my house we will refrain from ALL pagan rituals at any time of the year and give thanks that HE died on the cross for our sins because there was no way we could. HIS resurrection proves who HE really was and is and is to come– Read 2 Kings 17:14-15–you will see that gentile Christians (or so called) are just as stiff necked as the Jews— ~ Dan Allnut
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. -Colossians 2:8
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” -Second Peter 2:1-3:
And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. ~Luke 16:15 NKJV
“On that day of judgment,” says the Lord,“I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs. ~ Zephaniah 1:8
hattip: Facebook page Christmas and Easter are NOT Christian Holidays
Pagan/Wiccan Solar Calendar (even the Wiccans know what Easter is, in truth, about!)
Its that time of year to vainly worship God with a man-made pagan/papist “holy” day by those who think its the Christian thing to do…
Although this year Easter and the passover are close together, Easter is a pagan holiday that must be avoided at all costs if you are a Christian. I love my Lord Savior, and I obey his word that he has given us to flee from Idolatry.Satan is a master deceiver and has blinded almost all so called Christians in pagan Holidays and false doctrines. I pray that you watch this video, and seek the Lord for your answer to this pagan holiday. I urge you as well to do your research on these pagan Holidays that you might be worshiping as a Christian. It is time to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. (minor editing by webmaster)
1 Kings 11:5-6
He followed Ashtoreth (Ishtar/Easter) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.
Ashtoreth is evil in the eyes of the Lord. Now show me in Holy Scriptures that proves God has changed His mind…
(hattip to Gordon Kelse Fur)
“God will not wink at sin or gloss over evil doing. Whether He be dealing in judgment with an individual or with a nation, that which has displeased Him must be rectified before there can be a return of His favour. It is useless to pray for His blessing while we refuse to put away that which has called down His curse. It is vain to talk about exercising faith in God’s promises until we have exercised repentance for our sins. Our idols must be destroyed before He will accept our worship.”
