How Did Pagan Customs Mix into Christmas and Easter?
It began hundreds of years ago, when the Church changed the Bible. . .


The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.

The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

Colossians 2:16,17

Do you see how easy it is to take out the garbage?

The Jews never received all of God's revelation until Jesus Christ was born ... and then they rejected it.

The modern day church consists mainly of those who are descendant of people who were originally pagan.

What else would you expect from a Church that was given the mission to go out and baptize the entire pagan world?

Get real, and stop believing your own religious fantasies.

Jesus founded only one church, and he promised to bless and keep that church until the end of time.

If you're not actively involved in the work, worship, sacraments, and devotions of that true and universal church, which has been know as Catholic since the early 2nd century, than you're probably in trouble.

Of course they don't support the Trinity!! If they did they'd have to start calling themselves Christians!
The word "Easter" may have pagan origins but that doesn't change the fact that Jesus was crucified at the time of Passover and Resurrection Sunday is celebrated at that time every year.
If you could explain to me how anyone can truly observe all the hundreds of laws in Judaism I would be very grateful. Of course it's not possible to be completely observant and you know it. The Law was given to prove to man that it was impossible to fully and completely follow it, and if you fail to observe any part of it than you have failed it all. That was the point of God sending a savior--to do what man had completely failed at doing and that was to pay the penalty for sin that could not be paid by observing the Law.
Jews have been rebelling against God and ignoring His laws from the beginning. All you have to do is read the books on the Law and the books of History to know that. I can read Exodus and I and II Kings (examples) as easily as you can.

So why are the Jews still waiting for Messiah?
Why do Jews treat all their Male children as if they were Messiah up to about the age of three?
Not all Christians use the pagan Christmas tree, Easter eggs and so forth. You are generalizing.

Trinity is damn lie, blamphesy towards Almighty God. Christians have certainly gone astray. Well, Jesus dying for you sins sounds cool and all the very appealing. No wonder billions have fallen for it. If it wasn't for Islam, maybe I too would have. Verily. the true identity of Jesus is with Islam as the true beloved messenger of God. The truth is only in Islam.

Of course they're going to say that. Those fools are still waiting for the messiah. That and they hate christianity. I work with a jew and hear this crap all the time until I stuff an apple in his damn mouth. Then along comes you stupid -*** atheists claiming that believers "never question anything" blah, blah, blah. What? The jews and the pagans are getting together? Good God, just don't reproduce.

Those scholars are right. Paganism was the original religion & subsequent religions have superimposed their holy days on top, so it's not surprising there are remnants of the original.

My Jewish brother,

I am guessing that you are jewish due to your restriction of writing God as G-d.

In Islam, we believe in Tawheed, which means "oneness of God", this is EXACTLY the same as the concept you have of Yichud!

Peace be with you
