Summary: THE WORD "EASTER" HAS NOTHING TO DO AT ALL WITH THE RESSURECTION OF JESUS CHRIST:

If your church has "Resurrection Eggs", that is a church you should consider leaving immediately; if the Pastor is Liberal enough to use "Resurrection Eggs" in his Resurrection Day celebrations, he is probably Liberal in Doctrine and Theology, but may not be far enough along for you to see it yet.

Easter -- the day of Ishtar -- is celebrated widely among various cultures and religions on earth.

The names of these different countries I’m about to read to us now come from—the book ["America’s Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis and Sam Pollard. p. 13]

1. Babylon - Ishtar (Easter) also called the Moon Goddess

2. Catholics -- Virgin Mary (Queen of Heaven)

3. Chinese -- Shingmoo

4. Druids -- Virgo Paritura

5. Egypt -- Isis

6. The Pagan Ephesians – Dianna ***

8. Germans (Ancient) -- Hertha

9. Greeks -- Aphrodite/Ceres

10. India -- Isi/Indrani

11. Ancient Jews -- Ashtaroth (Queen of Heaven)

13. Rome -- Venus/Fortuna

14. Scandinavians -- Disa

15. Sumerians -- Nana ["America’s Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis and Sam Pollard. p. 13]

Brothers & sisters please; let us be careful as the time that we know as the Resurrection of Christ is about here, let us not allow satan any glory at all, and especially now.

Let us up lift JESUS, he said. John 12:32 32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Pastor Brown, it's been eight years since you shared this message, but I only just now read it. I would like to share my thoughts on this particular word usage in Acts 12:4. I am a KJB user to the core, and I love this Bible. I am also Independent Baptist. However, in the Textus Receptus, from which the New Testament of the KJB was translated, the word for Easter is πάσχα, or "pascha." This the same word used for "passover" every other time in the New Testament. Now I am entirely in agreement that we should celebrate Resurrection Sunday, not Easter (which is indeed a pagan name). What I have not figured out yet (but I will study it) is why the word Easter was inserted by translators of the King James Bible, when the Greek word is obviously "passover." Thank you for reminding us to celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, instead of searching for colored eggs.

Hi gentlemen. As a pastor of 25+ years, I believe it's because the KJV is not as infallible as some tend to think it is. Most other versions are correct in translating it "Passover" and not "Easter". I'm thinking "Easter" was probably a later term that was inserted by well-meaning copyists of scripture, which shows that, although these copyists and KJV translators were probably very sincere, they were only translators the same as the translators of every other version. There are other evidences of copyists inserting and removing words not necessarily found in the oldest manuscripts as well. There's nothing any more divine about the KJV than any other translation. Translators today have earlier manuscripts to translate than the KJV translators. It would only make sense that they would be more accurate. I say that out of respect for KJV users. I won't say Happy Easter, although I don't mind saying that. I'll say Happy Resurrection Weekend! Blessings. Kent
