EASTER OR RESSURECTION SUNDAY

"O YHWH, my strength and my fortress. My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, 'Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things.'" Jeremiah 16:19

Deception is a mixture of lie and truth. It's what makes deception as profitable as this day coming up: whether it be called "easter" or "resurrection sunday". We were passed many lies from the mother church, and the harlot continues in them (Rev 17)

On the wall, of the home I was raised in, hung a plaque with the saying, "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD"; a wonderful saying, but in context says even more. Look this up, read it for yourself, in context; for I'm putting this in context by modern terms:

If it seems evil to you, to serve the LORD, then choose who else you will serve; whether the pagan gods of the past, or the pagan gods of today. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15

While we had this plaque hanging on our wall, we kept pagan holidays of easter, christmas, and the likes. Were my parents in error? Nope. They did not know these were pagan holidays. When they found out the dangers of halloween, we stopped celebrating that day.

In the past, our fathers did not know these truths, information was not as abundant as now. But, in these end days, many are running to and fro, and knowledge has increased (Dan 12:4): they have put on a form of godliness, but are lacking in the power (2 Tim 3:5), because they love the pleasures of the things of this world more than God (2 Tim 3:4). While our knowledge of things, like these mixings of paganism with the things of God, has increased, the refusal to come out of her (Rev 18:4) has also increased; making this day, a day of rebellion, thus apostasy grows (as prophesied). The remnant of the Gentile are understanding and crying out the statement of Jeremiah 16:19.

In 2 Kings 23:7-10, we see the priest co-mingling Passover with the pagan rituals of "groves" (KJV). "Groves" were idols set up in worship of ashtoreth or asherah. These pagan goddess' were also known as eostre, asterte, ester, and ishtar; who we know as easter. Thus then, we know they were mixing the spring festivals of easter with Passover: God despised the practice.

This year, it's become a big question, do we call it "easter" or do we call it "resurrection sunday"? This debate is kind of like a "Hobson's choice", a take it or leave it choice. We are given a false illusion of choice: coke or pepsi, mac or pc, etc. We are given a choice as if there is none better: take this or leave it.

We are confident that Passover was the day Y'shua died, as The Lamb of God, in the renewed covenant of today, for the Tabernacle which is in Heaven: the sacrifice for sins. Unlike His birthday, which is sometime in Sept - Oct, we have not lost this day. This year (2013), it was Tuesday (Nisan 14). He laid in the heart of the earth three days and three nights (Matt 12:40) thus then, His anniversary of His resurrection, and defeat of death, was Friday (3/29/13). We are given a choice as if sunday is the only day to worship; which is like saying, "because the Declaration of Independence was signed on thurs, you can only celebrate this day on thursday" even though it was July 4th. Sunday is not the focus of this day, it's the resurrection and WHO it was that died and was raised. The 'sunday resurrection' is a mere tactic to keep people hooked on the pagan day of the sun and the co-mingling of the things of Y'shua with paganism.

Marcion was instrumental in separating the "God of the jew's" with the "god of the gentile"; even though, this is against Biblical teaching. Because of this separation, many gentile see it too jewish to keep the holiday of passover, which YHWH established as a symbol of the sacrifice of Christ, and to keep a pagan holiday given to them by their father tradition (Mark 6:6-9). There is not a law set up for the jew and a separate for the gentile: there is one law for both he that is of Israel and the gentile (Exodus 12:49).

There is a third choice for the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ, one God established in the past, one Y'shua kept in His day, and more-so one in which Christ fulfilled: it's called Passover; the day Christ actually died for our sins, and is in no way associated with paganism.
