wah piang..trying to harm me ar..if i say the truth sure get shoot
everywhere..worse still i will be targetted as flaming religious
war.
i will try to rectify this as politically correct as
possible.
firstly, i did not say christmas and easter are pagan religions.
i do say JWs do not celebrate it.
2ndly, no where in bible was stated when was JC born. as much as
we can estimate is a clear sky with shepards out in the plains.
they used hebrew calandar. which equates to roughly the month of
nisan as the JWs deduced.
3rd, the romans happen to celebrate the bday of their pagan sun
god on 25th dec dated using the gregorian calandar. this could be
just a co incidence as they are "consolidating" the bible and
christians beliefs.
4th, an exact practice just like easter was also practiced by
the paganistic romans.same bunny, same egg thingy. though the
bible made no mention of a bunny with egg was seen or refered to
when JC was resurrected, the bunny somehow turn up for the
party.
of cuz i would not say christianity is a cult like how
christianity branded mormons,jws etc as cults cuz im jus a nobody.
and people in power very often will use whatever tools they have to
serve their own needs. including using religions..tink osama.
no religion now is perfectly correct. everyone claims God on
their side of the field.
Hey Domon,
it is a pretty well known fact that the 25th of dec is not the
birth date of Yeshua. Actually we are told that when Yeshua was
born, the shepherds were in the field, this infers that it was not
in dec.
You have actually just shot christianity in the foot with your
3rd remark, if the romans consolidate the bible and their belief in
the pagan worship of the sun god by calling it the birthdate of
Yeshua, then what does that make all of christianity that come
after that? Idol worshippers.
Easter was never acknowledged by Yeshua nor was it ever
practiced by early believers. Yeshua kept passover not easter, and
it is also widely known that easter and passover may differer by
about a month. It is just funny that the bunny just turned up. Do
you know the history of easter?
That is the whole point of believing in Yeshua, it is not about
religion, it is about personal relationship. These are very
different.
