Easter, a Christian festival, embodies many pre-Christian traditions. The origin of its name is unknown. Scholars, however, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe it probably comes from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon name of a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility, to whom was dedicated a month corresponding to April. Her festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox; traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. Such festivals, and the stories and legends that explain their origin, were common in ancient religions. A Greek legend tells of the return of Persephone, daughter of Demeter, goddess of the earth, from the underworld to the light of day; her return symbolized to the ancient Greeks the resurrection of life in the spring after the desolation of winter. Many ancient peoples shared similar legends. The Phrygians believed that their omnipotent deity went to sleep at the time of the winter solstice, and they performed ceremonies with music and dancing at the spring equinox to awaken him.-------in acts chapter 12:4 the one place in the bible easter is mention is a mistranslation of man when they took it from the greek and translate it to english in 1611.look up easter in your stronges concordance in the greek(#3957)and the right translation is PASCHA-which is passover.in the new kjv they fixed the mistake made in the 1611 kjv and it reads passover not easter.it is a tradition of man and church's.but not of GOD and is a sin.it says in 1 corinthians 5:7 that jesus is our passover not our easter.in 1 corinthians 10:23-26 we are taught how to remember him.it says nothing about eggs or rabbits.i do what GOD word says .not tradition of men or church's.i say this in much love so that on judgement day he want look at a christian and say to them what is written in matthew 7:21-23

Here are two more warnings, don

Folks it will happen just as written, Satan will appear in Jerusalem sitting in the Temple of God pretending to be God. He told you not to be deceived by any means not even from the first letter where people get the Rapture from. Satan will appear first. Satan is the Son of Perdition. In the very definition in the Strongs Concordance His name is listed in the definition (Apollyon) as given in Revelations as one of his names.Perdition means to perish, to destroy, Satan is the only one who has been sentenced to death. So it

plain and simple"YES" reread post #2 (john 3:16.)

the problem is people are leaving out the first earth age. we are now in the second which is about 6,000yrs old. but the earth is millon of yrs old and so are we. we were here in our spritiaul bodys then. we were here with the dinosauers.satan was a good angel then (ezekiel 28:1-19). then he fell so YHVH ended that age and started this age(2nd)6,000 yrs ago which is man in the flesh to choose between YHVH and satan.so we are with in heaven with HIM before we are born or take our turn here in the flesh and when we die we go back. what happen here has everythingto do with what happen then in that time(1st age).romans9:10-18 jacob i loved -esau i hated before they were born in the flesh how? they already existed.jeremiah 1:4-5 YHVH told jeremiah HE knew him before he was ever born how? jeremiah was with him before he was born in the flesh.ephesians 1:3-14 we all were with him before the foundation of this world (2nd).john 3 :3 the word's" born again "is really "born from above" take your strongs concordance look up the word" again" in the greek as used in john 3:3 and it will say "above" .our soul are not created at the time of conception but is sent down to enter the womb for our turn here.but all of our soul were created at the same time in the 1 st earth age. check out pastor murray at shepherds chapel to learn more .in gensis 1:1 GOD created the earth but it does not say when in verse 2 the word "was" is not in the herbew the word there is and should have been rightly translated in the english "became".in isaiah 45:18-19 we learn the earth was not created in vain but was created to be inhabited.it became vain or void at satan down fall.

there are alot of tradition's of men taugh in this world today. The devil has more preacher's in the pulpit today than YHVH does.this is very sad( 2 corinthians 11:13-15).there are so many false teaching today.people dont have eyes to see or ears to hear anymore.the antichrist is not a flesh man . it will be satan himself in his supernatural body coming from the heaven's with the fallen angel's. claming to be JESUS CHRIST(2 thess2:1-12). antichrist means" instead of christ" -not aganist christ-which satan is but the word anti means "instead of".and because christain believe in the false teaching of the rapture then they the christians will follow the 1st supernatural being they see.666 tells us when satan comes 6 trump-6 seal-6 vile that what 666 means it a time nothing more no tatoo or mark on our bodys. the REAL JESUS doesnt come until the last trump the 7th (1corinthians 15:50-53).also read mark 13:9-28(death there is one of satan names proof hebrews 2:14).also for those of you who believe the rapture you already have the mark of the beast. reread 1 thess 4 but go back up to verse 13 to pick up the subject of what is beening talked about there if you read 1 thess 4:13-18you will notice it is about where are the dead.those who have died in christ and will come back with him at the 7th trump(2 corinth 15:50-53).

the antichrist will be no one else but satan himself in a super natrual body to fool the christian who have been taught the rapture read 2 thessalonians 2:1-12.

the antichrist is not nor will not be a man like bush,pope,or obama.the antichrist will be satan himself coming in his supernatural body claiming to be christ performing sign's and wonders to fool people into beleiveing he is christ come to fly them out of here.2thessalonians2:1-12.also mark 13:9-28 death here is one of satan names herbew2:14.because christians have been taught a rapture which is a false teaching read 1 thessalonians 4 where the rapture comes from if you go back up to verse 13 and read on thru verse18 you will see the subject is about where are the dead that have already died.since christian think christ is comeing 2 times 1rapture again the lords day.they will follow the first supernatrual being they see thinking he is christ.the devil is not and ugly being with a tail and horns and red all over.read ezekiel 28:1-19. also GOD dont like those who teach those to fly ( rapture)to save their soul read ezekiel13:17-23. the word antichrist means instead of christ.i also study the bible in the kjv,herbew,and greek.
