Easter Rabbits and Ham

Rabbits

Because of its short reproductive cycle and large litters, people have long regarded the rabbit (or hare) as a symbol of fertility.

Hares were the sacrificial victims of the goddess Eostre, and in Teutonic myth, were believed to lay easter eggs.

Ham

In the Babylonian myth, Tammuz was killed by a wild boar. Pre-christian Europeans considered eating ham a symbol of luck. Eating pork also expresses a blatant rejection of God's laws regarding clean… Continue

Easter Sunrise Services

Easter Sunrise Services

Even in ancient times, astrologers knew when the Vernal equinox occurred, and their followers would celebrate the arrival of spring at the first sunrise of the season.

Good Friday Origins in the Bible? No, Check out - Fish, Friday, and the Spring Festival

Brothers and Sisters, you will find NONE of the Apostles celebrating 'Good Friday' in the Bible. Once again, it is based upon the "commandments and doctrines of me" so look to the Mother Church in Rome as the entity who adopted this celebration from the pagans and bequeathed it to the Protestants:

Fish, Friday, and the Spring Festival

From Babylon, Mystery Religion

" The Miracle Of Passover", by the late Zola Levitt - a Video in 5 Parts

Many of you may have heard of Zola Levitt. He was a Jew who accepted the Messiah.

On these videos he presents the traditional Passover seder. The Passover seder is what is done every year by the Jewish people. In it you will see how Messiah is repeatedly forshadowed within it. Many Believers have deleted the "egg" from the service and modified other parts as well, so the the service reflects more Biblical truths.

Unlike in the Christmas and Easter celebrations, where there… Continue

"What are the origins of Easter?" The origins of Easter are rooted in European (Not Biblical) Traditions.

Originally, there were some very… Continue

Where Did the Idea of the Easter Bunny Come From?

Where Did the Idea of the Easter Bunny Come From?

When you think about it, the Easter Bunny is an odd tradition to be associated with a Christian holiday. Just where did the idea of the Easter Bunny come from? The history of this tradition comes from a few different places, but at the center of each tradition is a recognition of spring as a time of fertility and rebirth.

The Goddess and the Rabbit

Easter itself is an adapted holiday that was based on… Continue

Why the Custom of eating an "Easter HAM"????

Why the Custom of eating an "Easter HAM"????

All students of the Bible know that eating Pork is an abomination to our Creator. So why do you think you can celebrate a day devoted to His honor be eating something that He calls an abomination???

Scholars will tell you that the vision of Peter in Acts 10, had nothing to do with permitting us to eat "unclean meat", rather it was an object lesson to Peter showing him that the Gentiles being "called by YHWH… Continue

The Error of Titles and Offices

The Error of Titles and Offices

(A very insightful article by a Christian author and conference speaker.)

The idea that apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherd/teachers are ministry titles is a post-Biblical invention. It is also an anti-Biblical invention! It is sad yet prevalent today to hear men and women wielding these Biblical words as personal titles. “Apostle Tommy and Prophet Wilma,” “Bishop Jaquanza,” “Pastor Rotunda,” and “Evangelist Billy-Bob” all… Continue

Truths Revealed In The Da Vinci Code

Historians still marvel at the brilliance with which Emperor Constantine converted the sun-worshipping pagans to Christianity. By fusing pagan symbols, dates, and rituals into the growing Christian tradition, he created a kind of hybrid religion that was acceptable to both parties.’

‘Transmogrification,’ Langdon said. ‘The vestiges of pagan religion in Christian symbology are undeniable. Egyptian sun disks became the halos of Catholic saints. Pictograms of Isis nursing her… Continue

If Christ is the "end of the law/Torah, why is the Torah the law proclaimed the Kingdom per Isaiah 2 & Micah 2?

If Christ is the "end of the law/Torah, why is the Torah the law proclaimed the Kingdom per Isaiah 2 & Micah 2?

One teaching is true, and one is false. Let the Bible provide your answers.

These two prophets, along with Jeremiah prove that the Law/Torah has not been and will not be done away:

Isaiah 2: 1 - 3

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the… Continue

If Christ is the "end of the law/Torah" Why is He writing the law/Torah in your hearts, in the New Covenant? Jer. 31:33

The New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 quoted in Hebrews 8, consists of the "law/Torah # H8451 written in your heart.

So the traditional interpretation of Rom.10:4 that Christ/Messiah abolished/ended the law is untenable! Antinomian teachers somehow fail to teach that significant point.

The following article will explain the often misinterpreted text of Rom/ 10:4, our Messiah did not come to put an end to the law, but to exemplify how a "man of YHWH" was to walk, in keeping them. We as… Continue

Early Christianity a Jewish/Hebraic Sect

Early Christianity a Jewish/Hebraic Sect.

For a long time Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem (Irenæus, "Adversus Hæreses, i. 26); its first fifteen bishops were circumcised Jews they observed the Law and were rather unfriendly to heathenism. (Sulpicius Severus, "Historia Sacra," ii. 31; Eusebius, "Hist. Eccl." iv. 5; compare Matt. xv. 26), while they held friendly intercourse with the leaders of the synagogue (see Grätz,… Continue
