IMHO, the message of Easter is

"There is no greater gift a man can give, than to give his life for his friends."

Thank you Dkgood and Praise Yahweh for your understanding of a pagan holiday that the secular and most christian churches have been perpetuating for centuries. Yahweh clearly states and repeats in scripture many times that we are not to mix the Holy with the profane,nor are we to add to or take away from His word. In essence what the churches are doing in celebrating easter and christmas is dishonoring Him on both accounts. We are so ready to celebrate all kinds of holidays but don't give a thought to the Feasts and Festivals that He proclaimed to the nation of Israel when He took them out of Eygpt.
I would love to continue a dialogue with you as I feel you have a deeper understanding of scripture than most Sunday Christians.
May I inquire as to your background,and where did you get your spiritual knowledge from?

Thank you Simon and God Bless you for being bold enough to speak the TRUTH. I am a Messianic believer who is on a journey to discover the Hebraic roots of the faith.

Absolutely. This is historically well-documented. Easter has absolutely nothing at all to do with Jesus or his supposed ressurection. That's entirely a Christian myth that the ancient Christians pushed onto the already pre-existing pagan holiday of Ēostre (also Ēastre) which is precisely where the modern word "Easter" came from.

This holiday represents the fertility of the Goddess, and the "Great Rite" which is when the God fertilizes the Goddess to begin the new cycle of life. She then later gives birth to the new God which is celebrated in December (or Yule). The Christians even stole that holiday and turned it into "Christmas".

Christianity as a religoin actually reprents the biggest theivery known to mankind. They stole everyone eles's traditions to support their own belief that this man named Jesus was "The Christ" which doesn't make any sense in it's own right anyway.

Easter is the celebration of rebirth and is a pagan holiday, stolen and distorted by the Christians to support their mythology.

Wrong.... A Christian doesn't celebrate these Pagan holidays...
Only blind sheep believe these stories from ancient Romans and Pagans...

I guess you're right. It is pretty silly to believe any of those ancient stories from Romans, Pagans, or especially the male-chauvinistic Hebrews who were so arrogant that they believed that they were God's "chosen people". That pretty much takes the cake right there.

We're better off looking toward the wisdom of ancient India where the wise sages simply recognized that we're all children of the universe equally without exception. Their wisdom stands on its own as being self-evident and transcends time itself.

Almost as silly as believing in magic???

I guess that all depends on your definition of "magic". If you're talking about stage illusions I suppose that would be silly. If you're talking about spiritual magick then to think it's silly most likely reveals an ignorance of how it's actually defined and how it's actually orchestrated.
