Ok, even I'm convinced: Trump's obsession with Israel is unhealthy. And absurd.

See here www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/origin-of-easter.htm

And here about who Tammuz was in scripture www.bibletools.org/index....RTD/cgg/ID/805/Tammuz.htm

Nowhere in scripture, which btw, was written for the Israelities, did God ever make Easter a holy day! He did make Passover a holy day and instructed Moses to lead the Israelites to strictly observe them. Anything else pertaining to Roman civil holy days and festivities that was not ordained by God as a holy day was considered pagan, unholy and unclean.

Please do your research before you start spouting out unintelligible nonsense.

It seems to me that all you have proven is the strong relationship between the jewish calendar and the babylonian thus pagan. Easter is the Christian celebration of Christ's ressurrection which coincidentally falls on the jewish passover

Why is his "obsession" with Israel, as you refer it, "unhealthy"? And absurd? Really?

Relatively speaking.

Trump is an American President whose prime directive is AMERICA. NOT Israel. His attentions and energies are focused more on Israeli policy and observance than it should; Perhaps this attention and obsession is partially a matter of family relations as his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish. OR maybe it's political.

Trump has been acting in deed and word as though Israel is the 51st state. And I say this as an avid supporter of Israel and its sovereignty.

While some of you people celebrate a tradition that is a both pagan and heathen practice, Trump reminds us of Passover which is actually a biblical holiday documented in the bible.

What Donald Trump did NOT do:

Trump did NOT celebrate or stress Easter Sunday as the historic/spiritual event that indeed merits its symbolic celebration of the Risen Christ -- also a "documented" Biblical event. That makes it un-arguably THE Holy-est of Christian celebratory observance. Or do you disagree?

Now if Trump wants to pay homage to Passover (a Jewish celebratory observance), do so -- but pay it homage SEPARATELY and then respect American and World Christians on Easter Sunday. There is no more important event in the history of Mankind, or of Christians. Trump made it SECONDARY, mentioning it in passing. THAT was one embarrassingly "ugly" observance of Easter Sunday.

Easter is a pagan holiday that has no purpose being celebrated on a day of Passover.

Again, I've just clarified why Easter Sunday is NOT a Pagan holiday. Secular commercialism AND Pagans make Easter "Pagan" with their bunny/eggs/fertility symbolism; I get it. But Pagan rites doesn't invalidate the observance of Easter as a "Christ-ian" holiday.

The Lord would never encourage the Israelites to celebrate or partake in a heathen pagan practice which He referred to as an abomination. This is the ugly truth that Trump basically was saying and somehow you just didn't get it.

The Lord the encourages the same Israelites to acknowledge, worship HIM as Fulfillment of Prophecy -- instead of worshiping The Law. Given this, what's more of an "abomination" than rejecting Jesus Christ? For what it's worth I understand your position regarding the hijacking of Christian holidays and blending them in with Pagan holidays and ritual. Blame Constantine and the subsequent pontiffs who managed to integrate Pagan/Roman/Babylonian gods/goddesses and their Holidays and intertwine them.

Easter remains the symbolic celebratory observance of the Risen Jesus Christ. Despite the chocolate bunnies and Cadbury eggs. And Christmas remains a symbolic celebratory observance of the birth of Jesus Christ -- despite the Pagan origin of trees and Santa.

Easter is a CHRISTIAN celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, deal with it.

Amen. That it is.

The rites and rituals and commercialism driven by Pagans and anti-Christians do not invalidate the real meaning of Easter Sunday. OR Christmas for that matter.

Nowhere in scripture did the Lord annoint Easter as a holy day.

Is it your position that The Resurrection of Jesus Christ should not be observed as a Holy Day of Observance?

What would God the Father declare a more Holy Event?

1) Liberation from Egyptian Slavery? (Passover Celebration)

2) Liberation from Sin's Slavery? (Christ's Resurrection/Easter Sunday Celebration)

Up-thread I've *already* addressed Constantine and the integration of Paganism with a compromised Christianity and holiday of Easter in brief.

Ask yourself this, Liberator, or better yet, pray to Jesus and ask Him would He approve of your celebrating something that is not an appointed holy day by His Father. Believe me when I say this, when you pray to Jesus and ask Him for this, He will show you truth. I believe you are misguided into believing that Easter is a Holy Day when nowhere in the bible has the Lord ever ordained it Himself to Moses as a Holy Day. Never! Easter is considered "holy" by a man-made church system whose principles and ways are wayward and against the Lord's ways.

I responded to those questions using a link to my post #13

No, not really. But that's ok.

Ask yourself this, Liberator, or better yet, pray to Jesus and ask Him would He approve of your celebrating something that is not an appointed holy day by His Father.

Why would The Father would disprove of my celebrating Easter Sunday as the symbolic day of His Son, Jesus Christ's Resurrection? The Lord know my heart. And yours, doesn't He?

Believe me when I say this, when you pray to Jesus and ask Him for this, He will show you truth.

What do *you* know about my personal relationship with Jesus and The Truth?

I believe you are misguided into believing that Easter is a Holy Day when nowhere in the bible has the Lord ever ordained it Himself to Moses as a Holy Day. Never! Easter is considered "holy" by a man-made church system whose principles and ways are wayward and against the Lord's ways.

You're entitled to your opinion on the matter; But I believe you've misconstrued/misunderstood my position on Easter.

If the reason for *my* celebration is an acknowledgement, observance, appreciation and joy of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, it is not offensive to the Father or the Son.

Q: By chance are you a Messianic Jew?

Because, as I have stated several times in my posts which you have completely glossed over, He never ordained Easter as a holy day. The only thing Easter is symbolic of is Tammuz which the Lord hates.

What do *you* know about my personal relationship with Jesus and The Truth?

Absolutely nothing. But what I stated was a fact.

If the reason for *my* celebration is an acknowledgement, observance, appreciation and joy of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, it is not offensive to the Father or the Son.

The only thing you acknowledge is a festive day which you believe celebrates Christ. It does not and never did and the Lord is offended by it.

By chance are you a Messianic Jew?

I am not associated with any man-made religion at all. The bible is my only guide for inspiration and truth and the Lord thrives within me.

As I have stated several times in my posts which you have completely glossed over, He never ordained Easter as a holy day.

There is no devine "ordaining" of ANY "Holy Day" in the New Testament.

The only thing you acknowledge is a festive day which you believe celebrates Christ. It does not and never did and the Lord is offended by it.

So in your opinion the Lord is "offended" by his children celebrating the Resurrection Day of a Risen Jesus Christ?

The bible is my only guide for inspiration and truth and the Lord thrives within me.

As well it should. God bless you.

There is no devine "ordaining" of ANY "Holy Day" in the New Testament.

That tells us what? No Holy days ordained in the New Testament.

That is called a clue.

Did Jesus color eggs?

So in your opinion the Lord is "offended" by his children celebrating the Resurrection Day of a Risen Jesus Christ?

First off good Friday was on what a Friday.

3 days in the tomb is Monday. No such thing as resurrection Sunday.

God may be offended by decorating eggs and celebrating a Pagan day and pretending it is a christian holiday.

He rose on the third day not the second day. Didn't you know that?

Did Jesus color eggs?

Let's not become a cartoon character, ok?

No Holy days ordained in the New Testament.

Yes. AND I agreed.

So what's the problem?

Btw -- do YOU celebrate or note or commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday? OR just gobble up your Chocolate bunny and buy the wife/mom tulips?

First off good Friday was on what a Friday.

3 days in the tomb is Monday. No such thing as resurrection Sunday.

Let me be clear here; "Easter Sunday" may be a day when *some* "celebrate" the day as a "Holiday" for a few reasons. One of which comes with all the Pagan symbolism, trimmings and celebrations (bunnies, eggs, chocolate, etc.)

The OTHER is as a commemoration and observance of the symbolic day of a Arisen, Resurrected Jesus Christ emerging out of the tomb.

Now if you really want to be as technical and orthodox about scripture as you seem to be, I commend you. But that means you'll also want to take a MUCH closer look at Genesis and the Lord's Creation.

Those lilies have been growing on their own beside my garage on the north side virtually forever. ;) They're in God's hands.

Pastor Dean Odle discusses, describes and explains the Lord's *technical* Creation. BACKED UP BY THE WORD in Genesis. Please be patient and give it a chance. I guarantee it's worth your time and attention.

It is the description in Genesis of Creation that leads me totally AWAY from Man's Religion of Theoretic Science and its usurpation of the Creation story as it created its own Creation story (Big Bang/Evolution) out of thin air. One either embraces the truth and the Earth God the Father described in His Creation -- OR Man's Lie.

Man/Bogus Science attacks and attempts to discredit God Word right from the outset in Genesis, crippling and retarding ALL subsequent faith in a potential Believer. If the Bible is ridiculed as a "Fairy Tale" from Chapter 1, Verse 1, the weak of faith who call themselves "Christian" aren't going to believe ANY of it -- including all the supernatural acts told in both the Old and New Testament...especially including, The Gospel. (Consider that phenomena and Devil's Trick.)

You not only celebrate Easter Sunday through the lens of a Christian Believer, you also see the lilies as a symbol of God's Creation and love.

+100

The Bible mentions lilies 15 times in 15 different verses. Of these 15 mentions, 8 of them occur in the Song of Solomon.

So in your opinion the Lord is "offended" by his children celebrating the Resurrection Day of a Risen Jesus Christ?

The Lord is offended by those who celebrate pagan feast days that He never ordained as Holy. You cannot celebrate a pagan festivity and claim in your heart you are with God. You must choose who you will serve. God or Caesar's law.

And finally, God Bless you too.

Thought you still don't understand the dynamic, you're heart's in the right place.

Actually you are doing a fine job of making christians look like kooks.

making christians look like kooks

Actually you are doing a fine job of making christians look like kooks.

How would you know when you've stuck your head in the sand like an ostrich on Quaaludes? WAKE UP!

The link I sent you of a Christian Preacher breaking down Genesis Creation as well as a lot of other great truth about this world -- try listening in on his breakdown of it. Ignore it and the charge of ignorance is on you.

Calling ME a "kook" for investigating and challenging the lies and truth of this corrupt world is rich. The PTB and Gummint have lied to us every single day -- especially since 911 -- yet THEM you believe lock, stock and barrel? Now THAT is "kooky."

Btw -- I don't know if you'd gotten word yet, but "HELLO!": NASA says they have "LOST THE TECHNOLOGY TO RETURN TO THE MOON." That's right -- wrap your head around THAT "kookery. Hey -- Maybe Neil Armstrong's dog ate it.

But it's all ok; Be the compliant person the PTB and MSM count on to nod off as they play their games. I believe you simply fear the truth. Ignorance is safe. Ignorance is bliss. I get it.

Btw, it's "Christians", not "christians."

We don't ever see you dwelling on posting articles about the massive PROVABLE corruption and destruction of America authored by DEMOCRATS and coup against Trump.

Why not? Or...ARE you a Democrat? Big 0bama Fan as well? Or just an anarchist?

just an anarchist?
