Answer 1

Actually,
It's a well known fact that Christianity ripped off a lot of holidays from pagans, like Easter, Christmas, the unofficial holiday of Holloween.
Easter is actually derived from the world Ostara, Anyway, Ostara is celebrated to honor the fertility of the earth, and human females, and animal females...and anyway, there's tons of evidence to support that Jesus actually died in Spring, and that's the truth about the origins of Christian Easter.

Answer 2

You may say, that this tears down the whole system of Christianity!...But, the truth is, we are some what divided on the subject, mostly because of pride and lack of knowledge, but deep down inside we know what's right.


There are three types of us in where we stand on this subject..


Here they are!


#1 The Christians that have learned this information ,and have rejected the pagan holiday.
#2 The Christians that know the information ,and still celebrate the holidays. (either in pride to keep up with society or just to do it for Christ))
And, #3 The Christians that just don't know about it yet.


The true "christianity" has been watered down through time, most Christians do not follow the Christian doctrine precisely, so they are decieved by the worldly system and the false prophets. So, they follow the very system that the bible is against.


That's why today you see Christians that are hateful toward others and Christians that follow Bush. (in lack of knowledge)


What you should look at, is what the earlier Christians believed, that were closest to Christ (before 400 AD). Today, most Christians think that the only day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is on Easter. But guess what the early Christians did? They celebrated Christ's resurrection every single Sunday without fail. So, Basically, they didn't just go to Church, they celebrated Christ's resurrection, EVERY Sunday.


Also, the early Christians despised everything to do with pagan festivals, in so much, that they even rejected the use of instruments in their praises; Only because the greek god statue worshippers were doing it! But, like Christians today, some faded away and adopted the pagan festival and praise.

I'm not saying that I'm for or against the celebration of easter, that's between me and God, but here's how it started...

"The Christianization of Pagan holidays began about the fourth century A.D. when the Roman Emperor Constantine, became (or feigned becoming) a Christian. In order to consolidate his rule, he incorporated the Pagan holidays and festivals into the church ritual - attracting the Pagans, but he gave the holidays and festivals new "Christian" names and identities - thus appeasing the Christians. Over the centuries, this practice has continued until the present time where we find the two systems, Paganism and Christianity, almost indistinguishable."

It's not good to stereotype Christians, but I understand where your coming from. Jesus, predicted over 2,000 years ago, that a great falling away would happen in the Christian Faith, in the last days, and you are now seeing it today. The Christians are truly genuine and want others to be saved, but we are not perfect, some of us have lost our step, and our now tagging along with the paradigm of society.

BEWARE of the Apollonius of Tyana Deception.

Answer 3

It's nothing new. Christ ripped off most of his ministry from Apollonius of Tyana. Apollonius was the Greek version of Christ, and was reportedly even more of a miracle worker than J.C. ever was.

I'm still trying to figure out why all the Gentiles looking for a religion flock to the son of a god that did nothing but kill Gentiles instead of someone like Apollonius.

I really don't want to write a huge post on this, so if anyone wants information on Apollonius, just e-mail me, and I'll be happy to send you the information.

Answer 4

Easter is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first Full moon after the first day of Spring. The christians incorporated a pagan holiday into their religious holidays, because they were trying to get the pagans to convert over to christianity. Christianity did this several times throughout history.

Answer 5

i'm particular the day your birthday happens to be isn't probably approximately you the two. For one, you share it with tens of millions of individuals. that doesn't particularly shop you from having a birthday. Neither does utilizing the names of the month make you a roman nor does being a christian advise which you won't be able to use the interest "thursday" which truthfully dedicates at present to a non-christian god. issues substitute, it rather is common. definite, the christian vacations have been placed on previous pagan vacations, yet does this particularly count variety to you? whether you think in Christianity or no longer is a diverse decision, yet once you establish you do opt to be a Christian, i do no longer see a topic with celebrating the familiar vacations, purely because of the fact they ensue to be on vacations from different cultures as nicely.

Answer 6

easter, another pagan holiday gone horribly wrong! the new testament says that jesus died, and then rose on the 3rd day. pagans = christians, christians = pagan. man, where do you get this stuff from? jesus died on a friday evening(right before the sabbath), and rose on a sunday morning. if i am correct, they were not using daylight savings time back then. the time frame is 1 1/2 days. a day during that time was from sundown to sundown. think about it, from sundown friday, to sundown saturday is 1 day. from sundown saturday, to sun up sunday is 1/2 day. add them together, you get 1 1/2 days. if what the christians are saying is correct, jesus would have risen on a monday evening. christians got it all messed up. jesus was a big lie. the new test was a lie. it is contradictory to the WORD OF THE TRUE AND LIVING ELOHIM, YAHWEH. he speaks directly, and in the first person, in the old testament. read it.

Answer 7

Easter is a celebration in honor of Ishtar, wife of the sun god. It does pre-date Christianity. Another name for Ishtar is Semiramis. She was the wife of Nimrod who supervised the building of the tower of Babel, precursor to Babylon, precursor to Babylon the Great.

The idea of Easter as a Christian celebration is predicated upon celebrating the resurrection of Christ.

Guess what?

Christ never asked anyone to celebrate his resurrection. He instructed us to memorialize his death. (Luke 22:19).

The sunrise services are one of the abominations showed to the prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 8:15-16).

"But I do it to commemorate the resurrection that occurred on Sunday morning."

Guess what?

The resurrection did NOT occur on Sunday morning.

Answer 8
