LOL every small detail about "easter" is Pagan based.... It only came mixed/stolen when the Romans tried to appease the christians and the Pagans.... Hence Roman Catholics....

The title itself gives this away Ishtar... is a Pagan goddess... and Easter is her name slightly changed into English. She was like the Teuton goddess of spring I believe. The "chocolate" eggs and hares (rabbits) are again symbols of fertillity in Pagan belief... You also have the hot cross buns and in your bible it shows clearly that your god drove the Jews into babylonian captivity.... Because the hot cross buns were seen as idolatry worship....

Does this holiday seem something that jah, would approve of??

it doesnt have the original meaning any more for some, rather it's just a reason to spend time with your family and make memories. kind of like beating swords into plowshares.

So true, I don't personally see that as an issue, but more live by the book die hard christians example... err mormons or JW's wouldn't see you as christian for particapating in such holidays. If you are a christian that is.

hehe well most die hard live by the book christians would not consider either of the 2 you listed as christian no matter what they do on that holiday.

so those die hard christians... that see the other die hard christians that do not participate in pagan events as non christian... Wow you religion makes so much sense....

It is very simple the 2 groups you mentioned discount Jesus so how can you have christianity without the main ingrediant.

17th Angel · 11-01-2006, 01:02 PM

Who discount Jesus? Jehovah Witnesses? I think you will find they don't lol.... I was a JW for like a year and a half...

This is going off topic... but anyway they believe jesus is the messiah so how do they discount him ;P lets leave it at that unless you want to start a new thread.

Yes thats right , just as the bible teaches .the bible harmonizes throughout when we read a good translation.
He is the image of the invisible God, the FIRSTBORN of all creation; COLOSSIANS 1;15
"And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God, REVELATION 3;15
(Proverbs 8:22) "Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago.

(John 1:1) In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

(John 1:14) So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth.
(Romans 8:32) He who did not even spare his own Son but delivered him up for us all, why will he not also with him kindly give us all other things?

(1 John 4:9) By this the love of God was made manifest in our case, because God sent forth his only-begotten Son into the world that we might gain life through him. yes,just as the bible teaches is what JW stick too . the pure word of truth is the way to go .

beliefs and practices of the true religion are not based on human views or tradition. They originate in God’s inspired Word, the Bible.............and one thing that is not in the bible is the pagan easter thing .mixing the false with the true is not pleasing in the eyes of the great God Jehovah.
Both Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul predicted that Christianity would be infiltrated by false teachings. (Matthew 13:24, 25, 36-40; 2 Timothy 4:3) After the death of Jesus’ apostles, the idea took root that it would be appropriate to hold a fast (now known as Lent), followed by a feast, at Passover season. Somehow this became thought of as a way to commemorate Christ’s resurrection.
Jesus replaced the Passover, not with Easter, but with his memorial supper.
the Bible does warn Christians against adulterating pure worship with man-made traditions. This would apply especially to a tradition, such as Easter, that is laced with pagan customs and the ancient rites of false religions
