WHY WE DON'T CELEBRATE "EASTER"

This is a pretty good article explaining the pagan origins of this holiday. My favorite part is the scripture at the beginning. Many will say, "But we are not celebrating that. We are worshiping God and these things no longer symbolize what they did then." God has not given us that option of worshiping Him as we see fit. He has not only told us not to worship other gods, but also, not to worship Him the WAY the heathen worship their gods. We cannot in good conscience participate in something so vile and evil in God's sight. I am thankful we have found a church that does not celebrate pagan festivals.

"Enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God." Deuteronomy 12:30-31

"Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye." Mark 7:7-13

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" II Corinthians 6:17
