Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

[Hobie]

The word "Easter" likely comes from the Proto-Germanic word "austron", which meant dawn.
Only English and German use the name Easter. Most other countries of Latin origin use Pascha, which means passover.

Nevertheless, Jesus rose on the third a day. My church refers to it as Resurrection Day, the most important day in history. If any day should be celebrated at all, it should be this day!

Much tradition and pagan distractions have been added to this holiday: bunnies, eggs, chocolat. Many kids don't really know about Jesus and what this holiday really means. I met kids on Christmas day who didn't know who Jesus was.

And so we have acquired these traditions over the centuries, accept them; but must realize that they distract from the true celebration of His birth and resurrection. The Nativity scene is displayed but has been overshadowed by Santa, reindeer, trees, decorations, presents, etc.

Jesus has always been reject3d and attacked, His message tarnished and distorted. The spiritual war against Him and Christianity still marches on. We who know Him, can celebrate these holidays in peace, acknowledgong His glory, in thanksgiving, while knowing the truth and teaching our children the same without much regard for all the facades erected.

Happy Resurrection Day!

The day of the pagan sun god is not what true believers should observe as the day of worship to Christ, to say the least..

Get real. Who do you know or see or hear people mention or see advertisements even about sun worship on Easter??? Are you a Jehovah Witness? SDA?
The Day Jesus rose from the dead is the most important day in history! We do not worship the sun, we worship the SON OF GOD.
Question: Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day? If not, you are lost and blind still.

History of the Easter Sunrise Service​

Easter sunrise services have a long history of gathering communities to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tradition dates back to ancient times when Christians would meet at dawn to mark the moment when Jesus rose from the dead.

In America, the custom gained popularity in the 18th century among various Christian denominations. Notably, the Winston Salem Congregation in North Carolina, and the Home Moravian Church, known for their devout Christian practices, held sunrise services as early as the 18th century. These services were simple, often held outdoors. They are about welcoming the light of dawn as a symbol of Jesus’ victory over darkness and death.

The First United Methodist Church also played a significant role in popularizing Easter sunries services. As Methodist congregations spread across the United States, they embraced the tradition. They emphasized the hope and renewal symbolized by the rising sun on Easter morning.

Over time, Easter sunrise services became a cherished tradition for Christians worldwide. They bring together believers from different denominations and backgrounds to rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus. The services often include hymns, prayers, scripture readings, and sermons centered on the theme of Christ’s death, resurrection, and new life.

Today, Easter sunrise services continue to be a beloved part of Easter observances, fostering a sense of community and faith as people gather to welcome the dawn of Easter Sunday and the promise of redemption it brings.

This simple act of praise and worship turned into a longstanding tradition. The next year, the entire congregation joined the Easter Morning service, and the tradition spread around the world."...https://reachrightstudios.com/blog/easter-sunrise-service/

The Son rose at sunrise ... what is your problem with that? Mary head there when it was still dark, early dawn. Likely they didn't live close to the tomb. Dawn is 30 minutes or so. I walk about 1 mile in 20 min. Likely the tomb was further and by the time she got there, the sun had risen.

Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ... Mark 16:2

Sunrise service is beautiful and very appropriate since that was the time of day.
You can celebrate at that time or not ... I really don't care. Seems like you haven't found peace, you're complaining, critical, bitter, rebelliousness. Something is missing. As I said, if you are a JW or SDA, that ecplains your rant.

Christian holidays do have Pagan aspects and that is perfectly fine. Do not allow anyone to insult Christian holidays because in effect they are insulting Christianity. Christian holiday brings families together and give an opportunity to celebrate Christ together and what He did for us while strengthening the ties in our families.

Why do Christian holidays have Pagan aspects? Because we are Gentile-Christians or in other words our ancestral lineage goes back to the Pagans that the Apostle Paul converted. These Pagans came from all over the Middle East and Africa and they had their own customs, some of which they brought into Christianity. They no longer worshipped Pagan gods and became Christian, but they did not abandon many of their customs. One of which was wedding ceremonies that eventually was adopted by Christianity and made mandatory by Protestants in the 16th century. And just so you know mandatory church weddings.

Jewish-Christians have a different history and practiced Christianity differently Their weekly holy day was the Saturday Jewish Sabbath. The Gentile-Christians were not allowed in the Temple and worshipped in “house churches” on the Lord’s Day, Sunday. The Jewish-Christians played a juggling act with the Mosaic Law. Christ nor the scriptures told the Jewish-Christians to stop polygamy or concubinage so they continued.

This sect did not last long. After the destruction of the Temple the Jewish-Christian religion died out and the Gentiles-Christians took the helm of the Church. Polygamy and concubinage was not a custom of the Gentile-Christians. Gentile-Christians developed various holidays and in some instances Christianized some of their customs and holidays. Even from the beginning of their ministry the Apostle Paul nor Peter objected to this.

These holidays were well established when Ecumenical Councils were attempting to define Christian beliefs into one faith beginning in the 4th century. At that time the Roman Empire included a Pagan populace and Emperor Constantine wanted to combine the dates of the Christian and Pagan holidays so as not to shutdown the Empire so often. The Ecumenical Councils were involved with setting the dates for some of this. If you look at the history of Christian holidays you will see after the 4th century and through history Christian holidays have evolved. For example old St. Nicholas and the Christmas tree around the 16th century and Martin Luther and then the mistletoe kissing tradition in the 18th century. .

Christian holidays are a wonderful thing and a distinct part of Christianity and Christian families. By no means are Christian Holidays wrong.

[Grailhunter]

No, it is pagan with a change of name only to "Christianized" them, but still worship of another entity and certainly not of God.

Christians celebrate Christ on Easter and Christmas.
Decorations put up with Christ in mind
Songs song with Christ in mind
Church activities with Christ in mind.
Families gather and celebrate and have dinner with Christ in mind.
Games are played with Christ in mind.
Dress up with ugly Christmas sweaters.
Gifts are exchanged with Christ in mind.

Shame on you people!

Read carefully as Christ rested on the Sabbath and rose at its end, only when the woman came was it discovered by them.
Matthew 27:62
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

John 19:42
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

Matthew 28:1
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

The blind cannot lead the blind .
I have examined the doctrines of men and found them WANTING .
I suggest we all get BACK INTO THE BIBLE
without ANY INFLUENCE of ANY denomination
And start afresh and anew . Or perish the choice is alls to make .
I made mine . soon you all will have grown weary
and the only doctrine that will matter to the many is ,
ONLY LOVE MATTERS . YET the version of that there love WILL NOT BE OF GOD . You aint gonna make it hobie
Many are not gonna make it . And what kind of loving and caring person would i be to have not warned those i love so dearly .
WE HAVE GOT to get BACK into the bible WITH OUT ANY influence of any denomination and NOW .
its very easy to clear things up IF WE DO THIS .

Paul blended the Pagans with Christianity with his ministry.
The Gentile-Christians took the helm of the church.
We are Gentile-Christians and Gentile-Christians who celebrate Christmas or Easter are not worshipping Pagan gods.
These are holy days for Christians.
Wonderful holidays that bring families together to celebrate Yeshua.
All good.

[Grailhunter]

The Pagan converts came from all regions, they brought with them their various customs.....but not their gods. We see those customs and holiday through history, that is how they got here today.

Paul did not oppose this.
