Is Easter Pagan?

Do you think Yahshua our Elohim actually likes it when we reference His resurrection as Easter? Easter is a well established pagan myth goddess. Why do most preachers not chastise their congregations for attending and participating in Easter egg hunts? Why do a vast amount of churches actually hold Easter Egg hunts? It seems tradition has taken the place of the instructions in Torah, by doing one pagan thing and saying we are doing it unto Yahweh./quote]

Well, that is their problem I don't really care what they do, to be honest. I love the Lord Jesus and honor Him on Easter. It's my tradition. I don't worship bunnies and don't think about pagan goddesses. I see Jesus in Easter, not paganism. Easter is just a word, a title for the time of year. not a biggie you know the old saying: Don't worry, Be Happy!

[quote] BTW...I didn't see anything in those scriptures where you cane call resurrection day, or the remembrance thereof...Easter! You need to watch more Rood!...LOL!

Rood was right after all! Nobody can seem to dispute the unauthorized interjection of easter using scripture. It's impossible...just like a pre trib rapture! It's also impossible to do what truth pick said, "Life is about Christ and serving Him", and replace the word of Yah with ritual made by man. Once you take away (illegally) or add to scripture, there is no longer a true representation of Yah. The Torah is the face of yah. Alter it, and you alter the face of yah. The testimony of Yahshua is the defense of the Torah...the instructions from Yah.

Not taking away or adding to Scripture. Worshiping the Lord is 24/7. Picking out a day to especially remember His sacrifce and His resurrection [another word for risen ] is all good and honors the Lord. We worship in Spirit and in truth, and how He leads us. It's not a big mystery

You can get all bunched up over the count, but the bottom line is Jesus died and rose again for me. That's what I am talking about

All that stuff about "defense of Torah" is goofy. You don't keep Torah any better than the Jews did
