A Happy Jesus Easter to you, sister! Prayer is essential for a believer, so stay in the Spirit. We cannot overcome the wicked one if we neglect prayer.

Can we see some evidence that could not be written by a false teacher?

When did Paul tell the Ephesians about a 'Happy Jesus Easter'?

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me remove the speck from your eye"; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Matthew 7:1-5

I see. Nicely twisted. You're choosing to focus on the "Easter" that has pagan origins as opposed to the resurrection. That's your perogative to do. Some call the day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ "Easter" and some choose to call it "Resurrection Sunday." Which do you prefer, or do you?

I wonder where that came from. Not my posts- perhaps those of others. It's embarrassing that the two common names for this religious observance are pagan and Jewish- but this is not an embarrassment I wish to pursue.

I asked whether Jesus wants Easter- not meaning either the Jewish Passover, or the feast of Ishtar- but annual observance of his resurrection. The reply I received was not an answer. So the conclusion I came to, rightly or wrongly, was that people don't know that Jesus wants annual observance of his resurrection. Now if proposed Christian theology/behavior is not certainly known to be of Christ, those who propose it do not know that it is not a teaching of demons.

If however, people can show that Jesus wants annual observance of his resurrection, this possibility can be eliminated.

This is the type of thing that kept me out of church for a decade after High School. I could not stand my walk being judged by how I dressed.

If your goal is an elite club then keep up the good work, if it is sharing the gospel of Christ, then you may want to learn that how you dress isn't important.
