FJB and Easter

Then obviously nothing to see here and will cancel sunrise service in the morning since it has non meaning…..

No, you mistook my statement, it was a heed of caution, what we are witnessing is the process where the old cultural norms are replaced with new.

Christianity has been the dominant world culture for 2000 years, and as it rose to power it co-opted pagan festivals and “christianized” them.

Agnosticism in the form of liberal godless beliefs and Islam are both competing to be come the new dominant religion. So the question is, will my grandkids and great grandchildren be celebrating Trangender Visibility Day or Ramadan?


the irony here is, Easter was originally a holiday of fertility, ain’t much fertility in the Transgender community

Easter is the New Covenant celebration of Passover.

Yes… except Easter appears nowhere in the Bible, and the name is derived from Ēostre, a pagan festival celebrating the vernal equinox and fertility of new season.

The tradition of celebrating what is now called Easter dates back to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd century. It was started and celebrated by the early church by a group called the Quatrodecimanism (sp?) which means 14ism. They took it from the text in Lev. 23:5 “In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover.“ Their insistence on celebrating on the 14th day of Nissan, aligning with the Jewish calendar was later rejected in the third century by the Council of Nicea where they changed the dates so that they would never, even by accident fall on the actual Jewish Passover. There’s a whole thing about the two calendars that come into play here but I don’t what to get into all that.

It was antisemitism that actually started in the early church that began the assault on the Passover celebration. The term Easter and many of the traditions we recognize were later changed and many do have their roots in paganism. We have the same conflicts with Christmas, but that does not negate the both of those are derived from key events in history, and this holiday is the climax of what Jesus came to fulfill. Jesus was crucified on Passover. The symbolism of what they are doing is outrageous.
I do think both Christmas and Easter have kind of lost their meaning even with believers, hopefully God overlooks some of the traditions we have clung to and carry on. We have these kind of talks in my family now that my kids are grow and I have a better understanding of some of this. The one thing we all need to be figuring out is how all this actually ties into the Jewish holidays and their calendar, because while we are not suppose to pretend we are Jewish, our Lord is Jewish and all the end time events will revolve around the Jewish calendar and traditions. A good start would be educating ourselves on when Passover actually is.
edit
Jewish actions throughout history have been full of flaws, but one thing they were task with and preformed almost flawlessly was procuring Gods word and many of this issues discussed here with actual traditions, events and their calendar. Which brings up another key event we are about to see, does the eclipse have significance, the timing is interesting?

I guess the pitchforks aren’t entirely needed. 3/31 has been the date for the trans visibility day for years now.

Unofficially. It was never a National Holiday until a POTUS declares it by executive order. I together witg a group of nuts can call today national flip flop day but it doesn’t make it a legal, national holiday. Thats how they are spinning it. “Nothing new”. BS.

obama via biden declared through their constitutional authority that this day is now trans whatever day, he just did that on Easter and it was no accident. This is on the heals of Jill mandating that no Christian decorations were to be used in the White House celebration.

Freak groups can declare or say whatever they want it means nothing, obama just cemented it. Plus this wasn’t even on anyone’s radar prior to obamas first occupancy. That’s one thing these people have learned, you can’t unring the bell, they know that everything they implement stays because no one except it seems like Trump has the fortitude to do anything about it.

edit someone beat me to it.^^^^^

To quote Paul Harvey…”I would make the symbol of Easter an egg Christmas a tree…”

Go f yourself day Joe

I love it

It's funny how a small school in East Texas a few years back got reported flying the Christian Flag and had to have it removed because it offended someone. Funny how that only goes one way as you can't demand they remove the rainbow fag flying mess paraded across our nation
