How The Pagans Tried To Ruin Easter -
04-05-2009, 05:56 PM
Read this article on the vile ways pagans and witches have consorted with satan to ruin the second birthday of Baby Jesus.
HORRORS!
Quote:
The Spring or Vernal Equinox marks the point when day and night are of the same length - 12 hours.
After the Winter Solsticethe days lengthen and the nights shorten , and 'Equinox' means equal night and 'Vernal' comes from the Latin word for 'bloom',
as in the northern hemisphere the Spring equinox marks the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. Light and dark are in balance now, but light is gaining.
The earth awakens... new life emerges, sap rises, buds shoot and spring flowers are celebrated as gifts from nature. Spring returns and rejuvenates our own life force.
This equinox is also known as Ostara or Eostre - and is celebrated as a festival of new growth, renewal, a re-balancing of energies and the return of longer days.
It is also known as the day of equilibrium.Now is a good time to consider the balance of our lives - work, play and relationships.
Ostara, also known as - Oestara, Eostra, Eostre was the pagan goddess of fertility and Spring, and the Christian festival of Easter derives its name from her.
Easter is calculated by the moon, and occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox.
This is the time when the young Sun God now celebrates a sacred marriage with the young Maiden Goddess. We celebrate the return of the spring goddess
from her long season of dormant sleep.
The egg symbolized Eostre's wholeness and fertility - the female hormone oestrogen is named after her - and is offered at this equinox as a symbol of fertility and new life. The golden yolk represents the Sun God, its white shell is seen as the White Goddess. Decorated eggs, egg rolling and egg hunts originate from pagan fertility rites dedicated to Eostre - symbolising fertility and re-birth, eggs are offered to the earth to ensure a fecund future harvest. Nature is 'hatching out' with new life.
In Greece, it is traditional at Easter (Paschal ) to exchange red dyed hard-boiled eggs - a symbol of new life. The red colour is believed to have a protective power and to Christians signifies the blood of Christ.
The hare was regarded as the sacred animal of the lunar goddess, because of its fertility and activity at this time. Witches were once believed to shape-shift into hares. Now rabbits have become one of the symbols of Easter - they are these days more prolific and common than the graceful hare.n
Another symbol of the Goddess at Ostara is the snake, which emerges from winter hibernation to bask in the Spring sunshine. Due to the shedding of its skin the snake was a symbol of new life.

Who ever wrote that drivel has been dipping in the L.S.D. too much.
Things are going to get worse before they get better.

After you boil an egg, there's not much life left in it - but then the Greeks are, and always have been, hairy-assed idiots.

Yes, as we all know the Pagans pre-stole Easter as one of their holidays to sacrifice children to their sex 'goddesses' (demons), just as they did with Christmas, under the influence of Sataan. They are so shameless!

Um..... Something cannot be "pre-stolen;" why don't you just admit that the holy days of other cultures can fall on the same days as others. By the way, the Winter Solstice (Yule) and Vernal Eqinox (Ostara) come before Christmas and Easter on the calander, thus you really should not have a problem with it.

Without one touch, It becomes surreal, But it's true, The power lives, Inside of you!

Yes, Satan, knowing that we Christians were going to have those holy, true holidays, inspired the pagans to use those holidays as an occasion for mass fornication. Christians have been teaching this since the 2nd century!

Things CAN be pre-stolen. Take for example the United States of America by filthy redskin injuns.

It wasn't enough that the devil had to trick the pagans into worshiping estrus. Oh, no, he also had to pre-steal a Christian holiday commemorating Our Lord's return from His temporary death.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals.

There are other examples of pre-stealing. They usually involve one or more types of fraud, too.
How about cyber-squatters, people who register internet domains for sites that don't even exist, yet?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Satan's evil hand at work as usual. Another symbol of the Goddess at Ostara is the snake, which emerges from winter hibernation to bask in the Spring sunshine. Due to the shedding of its skin the snake was a symbol of new life.
We all know what to expect from snakes. It is written in TRUTH for all to see.
Genesis 3
1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life
AMEN.

Ha! These devil worshipers are dead wrong. Offering eggs to "Mother Earth" won't ensure a rich harvest. Every farmer who is saved knows that a few tons of herbicide and anhydrous ammonia will make the crops grow.
This egg rollin' and paintin' and sacrificin' babies to pagan Gods is nothing but superstition. They should try praying to someone who actually exists-- JESUS CHRIST!
A baby is a human being, not a stem cell!
Psalm 139:19-20
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

Bless you, dear brother, for speaking the truth!
Malakhi 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

Oh my! More pointless, feminazi drivel! Anything that attempts to make the gentle gender of ladies out to be some sort of robo-lesbians that procreate on their own is pure satanic gibberish.
