Real Christians Shouldn’t Celebrate Easter or Christmas

Origins of Easter:Easter's origins are multifaceted, stemming from both Jewish and pre-Christian pagan traditions, with the Christian commemoration of Jesus' resurrection as its central focus. The word "Easter" itself may be linked to the pagan goddess Eostre, celebrated during the spring equinox in pre-Christian England. Christians adopted and adapted various pagan traditions, particularly those associated with spring and new life, to commemorate Jesus' resurrection.Origins of Christmas:The origins of Christmas can be traced to the winter solstice celebrations in the Roman Empire, with December 25th being the date of the Roman festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of Sol Invictus). The Christian church later adopted this date to celebrate the birth of Jesus, partly due to the timing of the winter solstice and the potential for it to attract non-Christian followersFood for Thought:The word "Easter" does not appear in the Bible. While the Bible does recount the death and resurrection of Jesus, the word "Easter" itself is not used. Instead, the Passover (also known as Pesach) is mentioned in relation to the events leading up to the resurrection. The word "Easter" in the King James Version of Acts 12:4 is a mistranslation, and modern translations use "Passover" instead.CHAPTERS:Preview - 00:00I Will Never - 00:25The Origins of Easter - 00:37The Name Easter - 00:55The Pagans - 01:07The Number One Job - 02:00The Challenge - 03:03The Birth - 03:51Romans 12:2 - 04:11Clone - 04:48The devil's Playbook - 05:25#easter #christmas #christian #holiday #podcast Thanks for watching!
