Easter is a pagan holiday which historically became today's
replacement theology that via ignorance on our part has replaced passover . Easter most christians view as a ancient
pagan holiday that was hedonistic , orgy linked and demonic in nature albeit the worship of the fertility god with a element of sun god worship and a perverted solar application not to be confused with the solar eclipse judgments of today. In fairnrss
We " use" Easter to correlate passoover , which is ridiculous but
It is what it is . The "intention" is good the application is pathetic and indicative of the stupidity of we gentiles who lost our hebrew roots tossed asside by our churches wacko quasi god Constanine!
Easter is not an abomination. After a long winter of snow, and more snow ,and cold, we welcome warm weather. It is time to plant. We renew.
We do not celebrate the death of Jesus. We celebrate his life. Jesus love a good party.
We celebrate the changing of seasons, more in line with a birthday celebration. What's not to love about Easter?
Black jelly beans, peeps, chocolate bunnies ears, ears optional , dyed eggs. We weave baskets, and mats from dried palm, and sea grass all winter to prepare for spring. God does not disapprove. Never did.

c'mon man. this is just totally wrong. you need better input on history.
Passover is about the sacrifice of the lamb under the OLD covenant (of the law) between God and Isreal---Christians honor the sacrifice of Jesus in a NEW covenant (of grace) between God and all the world as the spotless "Lamb of God" the perfect act of obedience AND satisfaction for sin in his suffering and death on the cross on Good Friday (and on Holy Thursday when He celebrated a Passover "Seder" with his disciples and instituted the memorial of his coming sacrificial death---"this is my body... this is my blood....DO THIS in remembrance of Me...") .
"Easter"/Pascha/Resurrection Day is when most Christians remember, honor, and celebrate Christ's rising from death to new life ("on the first day of the week") after that sacrificial death---in a sense the key miracle of Jesus: His triumph over sin and death which by faith and love His followers hope to ultimately share.
thus Christians can be said to honor BOTH the Passover of the sacrificial Lamb on Good Friday (and Holy Thursday) and the glorious resurrection of the true and eternal Lamb of God on the following Sunday.
think it does not have to be "either/or" but instead "both/and"!!! whatever you call it and whenever you choose to honor/celebrate/remember the event it is totally about that holy, sad, triumphant, and joyful series of events that Christians believe led to their salvation in Christ when the joy of the resurrection fills the whole world (and if it spills over in sharing a chocolate bunny or candy egg with Children as a SMALL token of this joy in the risen Christ shall we really worry about old and forgotten and abolished "pagan" rituals that some MIGHT see a tenuous connection to??).

We, human beans, seem to spend an extraordinary amount of time finding the abomination in many things.
What if we looked for the GOOD and BENEFICIAL in the same events, bet we could find as much or MORE that is useful and beneficial about EASTER the ex-pagan holy day. Isaiah 5:20, so it is said, so it shall be..

Most Christians do NOT view Easter as a "hedonistic, orgy linked and demonic pagan holiday, etc.." That is an outrageous statement. Easter is a Christian holiday and is celebrated as one! What people are celebrating is ENTIRELY determined by what they INTEND to celebrate today . . . not whatever historic nonsense existed in the past.

and amen to that. the past is past and whatever pagan gods that some people mistakenly worshipped hundreds and/or thousands of years ago are "dead" (or they would be dead if they ever existed in the first place!!) if we acclaim the resurrection of Jesus in our hearts with sincerity and truth does it matter if we have some candy (that nobody who made that candy or distributed or ate it had ANY thought of associating with sacrificing to or worshipping those false gods to in the first place) as a minor part of enjoying that day?

That's just a fine way to go about rejecting Christ.
Since gentiles converted to Paganism so many years ago, then let us not convert back to Christ, is that about it?
Or
It doesn't matter that we Easter keepers went about killing Christians who kept the Passover of Jesus, that was long ago and those people were only about ten thousand or so, and look, nobody is killing people for keeping the Passover now.
How does one claim a Passover lamb and the benefits of the Passover by rejecting the Passover? How does one claim to be in the religion of the Bible when he in fact rejects the entire worship system of God?
People keep the Holy days, traditions, and rituals of the Babylonian Messiah EVEN AFTER we are specifically warned by Revelation, after we have been warned about the mark of Babylon being put in our foreheads for keeping Babylonian Holy days about the Babylonian Messiah.
What actually proves that somebody believes in a God other than conversion to their own worship system,?
Why shouldn't Christians ask Wiccans to come to Christ, let the Wiccans keep all the rites and traditions, and let them just change the name of their God and they would be saved wouldn't they?
Why not tell the Hindu and the Buddahist that they have no problems, that they should keep all their Holy days and traditions and change the names of their Gods to ,'' Jesus.''
Why not tell the Muslim just to change the name of Mohammed to Jesus, and let them keep Ramadan every year with all the feasts and traditions , but let them be called Christians, and let them go up to Mecca every year.
Why not tell the Hindu and the Buddahist that they have no problems, that they should keep all their Holy days and traditions and change the names of their Gods to ,'' Jesus.''
From now on, any Muslim can be a Christian and keep his own Muslim feasts and traditions, and his pilgrimage to Holy Mecca. should not be interrupted.
Let that Muslim keep all his culture handed down by Mohammed towards woman because they deserve to be able to keep all their rites and traditions right?
But don't let another Christian say that the Christian Muslim isn't saved.
Christianity is the only religion in the world where you convert to another worship system that honors a Pagan God.
