Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun​


And the Sabbath is worship of Saturn. Right?
Since you insist that the day of the week indicates which deity is being worshiped.
It wasn’t the Jews who named the days of the week and the months of the year that we use today….that was Pope Gregory who stuck with the names of pagan gods, even though with the introduction of his new calendar he had the option to change those names to something less offensive to God…..yet he did not. Shouldn’t we be asking why?

Don't worry Dan it is not that simple, but simpletons run their mouths and prove their ignorance. Very few understand or know the process or history of the naming of the days of the week, the months of the year or the planets in every language worldwide or what it would cause to change them….in any period in antiquity.

It would have been easier for the Apostles to start their own language entirely, but then Christianity would have only numbered 12 people because no one would have understood them….so….for that same reason the New Testament was written in a Pagan language…. Koiné Greek.

We could get on our soap box and criticize that the New Testament was written in a Pagan language but in the process we would prove our own ignorance of the whole thing…..The New Testament is Pagan!!!! Christian holidays are Pagan!!!! We live in a world where the days of the week are Pagan!!!! As they say....it is better for people to think we are stupid than to open our mouths and prove it!

Wednesday Old English Wōdnesdæg (pronounced [ˈwoːdnezdæj]) meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden (known as Óðinn Among the North Germanic peoples), and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) in England until about the seventh century. This corresponds to the Latin counterpart diēs Mercuriī, "Day of Mercury", as both are deities of magic and knowledge. The German Mittwoch, the Low German Middeweek, the miðviku- in Icelandic miðvikudagur and the Finnish keskiviikko all mean "mid-week".

So the way it is….is the way it should be.

Those "pagan gods" were planets created by God originally. The names were probably astronomical rather than astrological.

And it doesn't matter one whit what we call a day or month. What matters is the heart towards it. If people worship the sun on sunday- thats a problem, if they don't it is just a name for a day. Period. there is no evil in a name of a day. The evil comes from the heart and if one is evoking pagan gods by the names.

It’s never too late to right a wrong….especially when the one offended is God. He will rectify that gross error in his own time and way, but for now, he has handed the world over to satan to show us how inept he is the god and ruler of this world, blinding people to the truth of the Bible. (Luke 4:5-7; 2 Cor 4:3-4)
and it was the devil teaching them to worship planets, the sun, each other, and to reject the Lord
Indeed…..what else could account for a supposedly “Christian” church leader accepting pagan gods to honor in his choice of names for the days of the week as well as the months of the year….?
Could that have been more insulting to God?…….Apparently not to the god he served.
What if they worship God's SON Jesus on Sunday.... that a problem too?
Since the Greek word for “worship” is used in ways that do not mean what the English translation suggests, a little investigation into what men and angels gave to God’s son is interesting.

The Greek word “pro·sky·neʹo” corresponds closely to the Hebrew term “hish·ta·chawahʹ“ in expressing the thought of obeisance and, at times, worship. When rendered to man it is obeisance, but when rendered to God alone it is worship. Jesus was a man.

The term “pro·sky·neʹo” is used in connection with a slave’s doing “obeisance” to a king (Matt 18:26) as well as the act Satan stipulated when he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. (Matt 4:8-9) Had Jesus done obeisance to the Devil, Jesus would thereby have signified submission to Satan and made himself the Devil’s servant. But Jesus refused, saying: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is the LORD your God you must worship [form of Gr. pro·sky·neʹo or, in the Deuteronomy account that Jesus was quoting, Heb. hish·ta·chawahʹ], and it is to him alone you must render sacred service [form of Gr. la·treuʹo or Heb. ʽa·vadhʹ].’” (Matt 4:10; Deut 5:9; 6:13)

Jesus is “God’s holy servant”. (Acts4:27-30)

So what the magi rendered to the infant Jesus (Matt 2:2) was not “worship” but “obeisance”…..as pagan astrologers, they did not come to worship a new god, but to honor a new king.

Some claim if one does not worship Jesus on Saturday.... they are on their way to hell.
Since there is no Sabbath requirement for Christians, no specific day of the week is necessary as Christians can worship and serve “the only true God” on any, or every day of the week.
The Sabbath was part of Jewish law, not binding on Christians. (Col 2:13-14; Rom 10:4)

And since there is no “hell of eternal torment”, no one has to fear death. The only thing to fear is that for some, death is permanent.….for others death will be reversed by resurrection…this is what Jesus taught. (John 5:28-29) Jesus himself showed us what resurrection means when he raised his friend Lazarus from the dead. (John 11:11-14) There is no immortal soul…..there never was.

No sorry, the names were purely pagan names in honor of their gods….there were many, in contrast to the ONE God of Israel….the one served by his son. (Deut 6:4; Acts 4:27-30)

Ain't it sad when people claim Jesus to be a liar??? clueless-scratching.gif

Jesus says those that go to hell will burn in fire that shall NOT be quenched into everlasting punishment

Mark 9:43-44
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

2 Thessalonians 1:9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Texts like Jude 6, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13, and Matthew 25:30, and 2 Thessalonians 1:9 show that darkness signifies a state of deprivation and distress, not of destruction in the sense of ceasing to exist. Only those who exist can weep and gnash their teeth, as those banished into the darkness are said to do. Luke 16:22–24 shows that fire signifies continued existence in pain as Revelation 14:10 with 19:20 and 20:10, and Matthew 13:42, 50, confirm this.

Another good case against annihilationism is ”And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever” in Rev. 14:11.

It might not matter to you, but I assure you, it matters to Yahweh….whom we know from the 10 Commandments, that he tolerates no gods before him. Any who try to accommodate pagan celebrations and customs under the guise of “Christianity” will feel the hand of God’s anger.

2 Cor 6:14-18…KJV…
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

We are told to “separate” ourselves from those spiritually “unclean” things if we want to be embraced as God’s “sons and daughters”.
What matters is the heart towards it. If people worship the sun on sunday- thats a problem, if they don't it is just a name for a day. Period. there is no evil in a name of a day. The evil comes from the heart and if one is evoking pagan gods by the names.
“A rose by any other name smells as sweet”…….but garbage under another name still stinks.

The “evil” is in trying to justify what God hates. Why did Christendom have to borrow pagan celebrations to supposedly honor the God of Jesus Christ? Did the change of name alter the celebration in God’s eyes….is that separating from the things that God tells us are “unclean” in his eyes?

Try your justifications on the judge who is coming soon….and see if he will accept them? (Matt 7:21-23)

If that were actually true then those who did not go to hell.... would also be extinguished since the false claim is God did not create man to live forever

To claim there is no immortal soul is to say God did not created man in His own Image (Romans 11:29) and that the gifts and callings of God can be taken away (Genesis 1:27) which is to claim whjat6 God said is a lie

Of course nobody expects those that claim some of what God says in His Word to be lies to understand seeing they have been deceived by the devil to think God is a liar just like the devil conned Adam and Eve in to thin king.

You tried that once before and you got the explanation…..try reading it again as well as the scriptures that went with it…..there is no hell of eternal conscious torment…..that is clearly an injustice…to punish a person forever because of a short lifetime of sin, when the sin was not our fault in the first place….we inherited that from Adam….Jesus came to get back what Adam lost for all his children.

Everlasting death is the opposite of everlasting life…..God does not punish anyone with torture.
Show us one law of God that entailed any kind of prolonged torture…..that is not what his justice requires.

If you actually studied the Bible instead of man made doctrines, you would clearly see the resurrection as man’s only hope for everlasting life.
Death is the end of life…not a continuation of it somewhere else. This is a satanic lie.
To claim there is no immortal soul is to say God did not created man in His own Image (Romans 11:29) and that the gifts and callings of God can be taken away (Genesis 1:27) which is to claim whjat6 God said is a lie
Nonsense! Being created in God’s image meant that we reflect his qualities and attributes.
God created us as mortals…..which doesn’t mean that we had to die….only that we could, if the means to sustain our lives was taken away. How many ways are there to die? There are countless ways, but God did not create us to die…..he gave us the mean to sustain our lives indefinitely…..”the tree of life“ was there in the garden of Eden to partake of freely….on the condition that humans were obedient to their Creator. So everlasting life for us was conditional from the beginning.

If we disobey God, we can lose it. This resulted in Adam and his wife being punished and losing their eternal life. But the inheritance of sin and death was passed on to all their children.

Please find me the words “immortal soul” in any passage of scripture……there is no such thing.
Of course nobody expects those that claim some of what God says in His Word to be lies to understand seeing they have been deceived by the devil to think God is a liar just like the devil conned Adam and Eve in to thin king.
What if it’s you who has been deceived? The devil rules this world…..all of it! (1 John 5:19)
If Jesus himself said that “few” will be found on the road to life when he comes to judge the human race, (Matt 7:13-14) where does that leave the majority?….on the super highway to destruction.

Nonsense!

I go to church and sing resurrection songs, and remember our Risen Savior Jesus. And I have a nice meal with my brother and his family (all the family that's left now).

And you are full of nonsense if you think I'm worshiping the sun. Ridiculous!

Much love!
