Pagan rituals twisted
into “Christian Rituals”

My dear brothers and sisters in
Christ Jesus it is time for you to WAKE UP to the TRUTH about man-made pagan
holidays and GOD ordained Holy Holidays…
Remember my friends Satan has
been at odds with God since before the creation of mankind. Since that creation
Satan has done everything in his power to separate mankind from the glorious
salvation of the Creator God.
For every great thing God has
done for us, Satan has created an opposite thing that leads to death and
separation from God. As we can see from the Death and Resurrection of our
Savior Jesus Christ, Satan thought he had won; but the Creator God had a better
plan which was the SAVING GRACE of Christ Jesus’ Death and Resurrection.
Satan is still working today to
create division between mankind and God. He has cunningly wormed his way into
the Christian Church through Pagan Worship twisted into “Christian Worship”
which is a FALSE Worship.
For the time will
come when people will not
tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them
with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something
pleasing], they will accumulate
for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy
their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn
their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made
fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. 2
Timothy 4:3-4
The truth found in 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 warns “TRUE” believers that God does not
tolerate idols, not does He tolerate His followers to have fellowship with
non-believers who worship false gods.
Do not be unequally
bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them,
inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with
lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony can
there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in
common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the
temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God
said: “I will dwell among them and walk
among them; And I will be their
God, and they shall be My people. 2 Corinthians 6:14-16
Easter was originally the
celebration of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility and
sex. ... After Constantine decided to Christianize the Empire, Easter was
changed to represent Jesus. But at its roots, Easter (which is how you
pronounce Ishtar) is all about celebrating fertility and sex.

Anyone can turn away from the delusional religious behavior
they are trapped in by the power of Yahusha’s Spirit. That delusional religious behavior is the mother of
harlots. The mother of harlots is a
hybrid-mongrel.
How can we identify the mother of harlots?
Artemis (Diana) of
Ephesus - Great Mother Gaia, Ishtar, Easter
This word has been
adapted from Pagans as an attempt to “inculturate” by syncretism a behavior
that is an absolute abomination. If you recognize Halloween for
what it is, then this will be no different after you learn the truth.
Easter was already one of the two biggest celebrations observed by Pagans, long
before Christianity came along. It is my belief that when this is
exposed, it will fulfill the prophecies of Revelation 18. Go read it
now. Babylon is still with us, but it is going to fall.
Easter was celebrated by the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, and the Philistines
(Goliath no doubt had an Easter basket). You should look up “Easter” in a
Webster’s Dictionary, and do further research in other sources! This
festival involved the “Rites of Spring” near the Equinox of Venus, when Pagans
believed the Earth Mother was impregnated by the sun.
They engaged in
ritual sex acts, and used symbols of fertility like eggs, rabbits, and “hot
cross buns.”
The Babylonian
symbol for the female was, and is, a circle with a crux beneath.
The round cakes were baked for the Queen of Heaven (Regina Coeli), and Great
Mother (Magna Mater aka, Nature), with the cross symbol indicating the
female. The cross also indicated the Equinox, when the Earth’s orbit crossed
the celestial equator.
To ensure a prosperous growing
season, Pagans rolled eggs decorated with bright
colors of Spring on their fields, hoping to imbue fertility. These
eggs were then hidden from “evil spirits” in rabbits’ nests, another symbol of
fertility. The US Federal government does this very thing on the White
House lawn every year on Easter Sun-Day. “Easter” is the name of
the Babylonian “Mother of Harlots”, Rev.
17, and her image stands as the sun-goddess “Lady Liberty” in New York
Harbor. This Colossus statue even has the “tower” headpiece, as seen worn
by Artemis. The Hebrew TaNaK (O.T.) calls her ASHERAH.
The 7 horns or sun-rays should be a strong indication of her true
identity. Her emblem is the flower of the lily, seen illustrated with her
on this page. An American society, the Easter Seals Society, uses the
Fleur-de-lis (French, flower of the lily) as their logo, and they have no
religious affiliations whatsoever. At the Statue of "Liberty,"
there is a plaque dedicating the image to the Earth Mother, Ishtar. Most
churches (kirche is the word Tyndale used for a pagan temple) decorate with the
lilies on Easter morning. Instead of inheriting Truth, they inherited
Babel's witchery.
Pagan religions
through time paralleled each other, carrying the Sun, Earth Mother, and child
model from Babylon to Media Persia, Phoenicia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Celts.
The Medes cooked the mythology into Zoroastrianism, producing the magician
priests called Magi. They worshiped Ahura, Haoma, and Ohrmazd as their trinity.
(We’ll survey them all under Trinities later). The Greeks’ Zeus was their sun
deity, whose mother was Lydia, shown riding a swan. Notice her headpiece; very
much like Lady Liberty.
The Britannica
Encyclopedia (1934) states:
“EASTER (es’ter), Ostara, or Eastre, was the goddess
of Spring in the religion of the ancient Angles and Saxons. Every April a
festival was celebrated in her honor. With the beginnings of
Christianity, the old gods were put aside. From then on the
festival was celebrated in honor of the resurrection of Christ, but was still known as Easter after the old goddess.”
In contrast, the
Creator says:
“Break down their altars, smash their
sacred stones and burn their Asherah (Easter) poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and
WIPE OUT THEIR NAMES from those places. YOU MUST NOT WORSHIP Yahuah
YOUR Alahim IN THEIR WAY.” Deuteronomy 12
Emperor Theodosius (A.D. 78-398)
officially forced Constantine's Catholicism the State Religion of the Roman
Empire, and made church membership compulsory. The forced conversions filled
the assemblies with unregenerate pagans, while continuing to tax those who
observed other beliefs.
Pagans were absorbed
into Christianity; it was the policy to accept everything they were accustomed
to celebrating. Let’s hear it directly from the Catholic organization
itself; the Catholic Cardinal John Henry Newman’s book, The Essay on the
Development of Christian Doctrine, published in 1878, states in chapter 8:
“The rulers of the
Church from early times were prepared, should the occasion arise, to adopt, to
imitate, or to sanctify the existing rites and customs of the population, as
well as the philosophy of the educated class. The use of temples and those
dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasion with branches of trees
(wreaths), incense, lamps, candles, votive offerings on recovering from
illnesses, holy water, holy days and seasons (the entire Church calendar), use
of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields, sacerdotal vestments, the
ring in marriage, chants, the Kyrie Eleison — are all of Pagan origin, and
sanctified by adoption into the Church.”
There you have
it. But, you may ask, “If Easter was a Pagan festival celebrating the
impregnation of ‘Mother Earth’, how did it get mixed up with Christianity?”
Christianity’s Pagan Connection started with one man
more than any other. In 325 CE, the Roman Emperor Constantine I convened
what is now called the Nicene Council, gathering 220 elders (bishops) together,
in order to unify basic doctrines (teachings), and establish common
practices. This universalizing produced the Roman Catholic Church
(RCC). The Latin word Catholic means universal. There was no
Catholic on planet Earth prior to this Council.
The only Council
mentioned in the Writings conducted by the first Nazarenes is mentioned at Acts
15, the purpose of which was to determine how to accommodate Gentile
converts who were turning to the true Creator. The only topic:
circumcision ~ and since immersion in the Name and receiving the Spirit into
your heart is our “circumcision”, it was decided that physical circumcision was
not necessary (this is a very important beginning text to be understood by all
adult male Gentiles).
Constantine’s Council sought to institute new
tolerances for Pagan patterns, and outlaw the patterns that the Savior lived by
and taught ~ he had already proclaimed “Sun-Day” as a day of rest dedicated to
the sun (321 CE), and now it came time to syncretize more Paganism. By
not repenting and turning away from elementary foolishness, it was simpler to
just “absorb” the behavior. Political and religious CONTROL is a slippery
thing; so by keeping the Pagan rituals in place, control was maintained with a
minimum of effort. Truth was twisted by the “spin doctors” so the opposite of
truth became our custom. Rather than make 99% of the people conform to a
totally new behavior, it was easier to just exterminate the 1%, and put a
Scriptural spin on the Pagan customs. This is what overwhelmed all our
ancestors, being taught these things as young children. Paganism
has always been highly skilled at wrapping dissimilar things together, making
things appear one way on the surface, and making the loosely understood things
shrouded in what they call the “mysteries of the faith.”
In order to blend
practices into universal (Catholic) behavior,
the real Shabbat (Sabbath) was outlawed, along with Passover and other annual
Jewish observances. This was a prophecy revealed to Daniel. In the
prophecy, four beasts or kingdoms would arise, which are clearly (1) Babylon,
(2) Media-Persia, (3) Greece, and (4) Rome. At Daniel
7:25, the 4th beast is clearly described:
“The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom
that will appear on Earth (Rome). It will be different from all the other
kingdoms and will devour the whole Earth, trampling it down and crushing
it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom
(Caesars/Khasars/Kaisers/Czars ~ Julius Caesar up to Constantine). After them
another king will arise, different from the earlier ones (Constantine “fused”
the sun worshipers with the Nazarene writings, and was not of the family name
Kaiser / Caesar); he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most
High, and oppress His saints (qodeshim, those set-apart, especially the Hebrew
people), and try to change
the set times and the law”. Scripture
is a pattern for our living in peace, guiding us with its LAW. The
changing of the set times (or seasonal appointments decreed at Deuteronomy 16 and Leviticus 23) were wiped-out and replaced with Pagan observances,
imposed by Constantine.
Wow… Learning to recognize
paganism in “Christian Man-Made Doctrine” is so FREEING. Finally we can be FREE
from the bondage of the LIES that have been taught from the pulpits for
centuries so we can honor God by rejecting the man made stuff and worship Him
in Spirit and Truth.
Christian – It is
time to DITCH the “Easter Bunny and Egg” paganism, reject the False Religious
Holidays and honor God by honoring His Holy Days.
We learn from
Scripture from the Old and New Testaments that Jesus Christ would come to earth,
be rejected by “RELIGIOUS LEADERS”, be tortured by the people He came to save,
die a horrible death from scourging and hanging on a cross of humiliation, be
buried in a borrowed grave, and three days later RISE AGAIN to be glorified to
a position of greatness by His and our Heavenly Father. Yes, my friends it was
foretold in the “OLD” part of the Bible that these things would take place.
But [in fact] He has borne our grief, and He has carried our
sorrows and pains; yet we
[ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down
by God and degraded and
humiliated [by Him]. But He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our
sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; the punishment
[required] for our well-being fell
on Him, and by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, We have turned, each one, to his own way; But
the Lord has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our
wrongdoing] To fall on Him [instead of us]. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet
He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself]; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And
like a sheep that is silent before her shearers, so He
did not open His mouth. After oppression and judgment
He was taken away; And as for His generation [His
contemporaries], who [among them] concerned himself with the fact that He was cut off from
the land of the living [by His death] for the
transgression of my people, to whom the stroke [of death] was due? His
grave was assigned with the wicked, but He was with a
rich man in His death, because He had done no violence,
nor was there any deceit in His mouth. Yet the Lord was willing To crush Him, causing Him to suffer; If He
would give Himself as a guilt offering [an atonement for sin], He shall see His
[spiritual] offspring, He shall prolong His days, And
the will (good pleasure) of the Lord shall
succeed and prosper in His
hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He shall see it and be satisfied; By His
knowledge [of what He has accomplished] the Righteous One, My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright
before God, in right standing with Him], For He shall
bear [the responsibility for] their sins. Therefore, I will divide and
give Him a portion with the great [kings and rulers], and
He shall divide the spoils with the mighty, because He
[willingly] poured out His life to death, and was
counted among the transgressors; yet He Himself bore and took away the sin of many,
and interceded [with the Father] for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:4–12
Jesus NEVER said to remember or
celebrate His resurrection anywhere in Scripture. However, He did tell His
followers to remember His death and what it meant for the salvation of their
souls.
And when He had taken bread and given
thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do
this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took
the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is poured out for you, is
the new covenant [ratified] in My blood. Luke 22:19-20
For every time you eat this bread and drink
this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death
until He comes [again]. 1 Corinthians 11:26
Jesus Christ the Son of the Most High God wanted us remember how much
it cost Him so that you and I could be
called sons and daughters and even friends of God. He wanted us to remember
that it is His blood that sets mankind FREE from their sins. The Word of God
tells us in 1
John 1:6-7 that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from ALL sin.
If we say that we have
fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not
practice the truth; but if we [really] walk in the
Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of
God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with
one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son
cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from
sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 1
John 1:6-7
Will you chose to HONOR GOD by remembering
His Son Jesus through Holy Communion or will you chose to honor the god of this
world Satan by celebrating a Pagan Holiday being passed off as a “Religious
Holiday”???
As for me and my house we chose to HONOR
GOD not man-made traditions.
See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according
to the tradition [and musings] of mere
men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following
[the truth—the teachings of] Christ. Colossians
2:8
Praise the Lord God Most High who
sacrificed His only Son that we might have life eternal having been cleansed by
the Precious Blood of Jesus that flowed
from every wound inflicted upon Him because of the sins of ALL MANKIND.
Just as Moses lifted up the [bronze] serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must the Son of Man be
lifted up
[on the cross], so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal
life [after
physical death, and will actually live forever]. “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He
[even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to
judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever
believes and has decided to
trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no
judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one
who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as
personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and
trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is
truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].
John
3:14-18
It is my prayer that you will decide today
to REJECT the man-made holidays that CLAIM to be Christian; yet have their
roots deep in pagan worship. I pray the Holy Spirit will guide you and teach
you the TRUTH through your study of the Word. Take the time to research for
yourself. If you truly want to please your Heavenly Father you will make that
choice today to HONOR HIM by rejecting the LIES of Satan being taught as TRUTH
in the church today.
Forever in Christ Jesus Service,
