Unadulterated Gospel?

My husband has a saying that really makes a lot of sense *IF* you use your brain to stop and ~~THINK~~… IT goes: “Even a blind hog can root around under and oak tree and pick up an acorn now and then”…
But of intelligent mankind, I really wonder sometimes what *IT* would take to get their attention… TO open their eyes to the atrocities that they take part in as fun….
Many sales magazines and advertisements, don’t beat around the bush about the reason’s for their seasonal sales pitch… BUT advertise their merchandise as *IT* IS* … “Spring Celebration” “Spring Extravaganza”, they show in the pages colorful chicks, rabbits, eggs, then the crosses, and lilies… And pour out the title: “Easter” amongst it all.. SOOOOoooo… IT would take a blind hog to miss the message that, “Spring” *IS* Spring” “Easter *IS* A Big part of this celebration, and mankind has tried to mix in the: “Blessed Memorial of our Savior’s Resurrection”, into this BC celebration….which has nothing to do with: THE Passover.. WHY?
*IT* Happened many years ago and *IT* Still happens today… Because, many of The ones that ~~Know~~ choose to ignore, because of popularity, folks might not look up to them as ~~GOOD~ leader’s IF they let it be know that they really are aware that the celebrations that they promote ARE INDEED Pagan, the numbers, may fall off in the meetings, and the traditions, that mankind has set before them may fail, and many today lack the tenacity to, step out and preach the ~~Unadulterated Gospel~~ for fear of rattling society’s cage, unsettling the `Jones` in their Traditions, making the Church look bad, by disallowing the traditions that IT has carried on for centuries….….
BUT: ARE & WERE, those traditions pleasing to God from the very start…. OH, they were put into place by the then ~Church~ leaders, and declared good, because IT opened the door for the heathen to enter into the congregations and become a part of Christianity…AND that word ~~Part~~ IS correct, because in the same act the then leaders, by attempting to make the heathen be ~~Partly~ Right, they made Christianity to be partly ~~Wrong~~ BY Adapting the customs, and traditions, that had existed among the heathen for years prior to Christ ~Earthly Life & Death~~ . Thus false teachers emerged in great numbers…. BUT! IS IT According TO: *AS IT IS Written*??? . LOOK AT History L -L
Secular History tells us:: The very Name ~~Easter~~ does not come from the Bible… BUT instead it’s roots are from the ancient pre-Christian Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, Biblically Known as: Astarte or Ashtoreth…The ~Council of Nicaea~ IN the Year .. 325 AD…agreed that ~ALL~~ the Churches should celebrate “Easter” …..
Up until this time, many believers had commemorated the death of Jesus, as Jesus and The Apostles had instructed, with the ~~Passover~~ .. (Luke 22:19-20) & (I Corinthians 11:23-26)..
These two Scriptures, show Jesus instructing the ~disciples~ and Paul reiterating this instruction and carrying *IT* out, during: The early days of The Christian Church…
But the Roman Empire empowered the: Catholic Church to enforce *IT’S* preference for Easter, and those who chose to continue to observe IT as Jesus did, and His followers like Paul, and Peter had to go underground…. This seemed to make a good marriage between…Church & State, BUT True Christianity was suffered in persecution….
The Bible in fact states AS God said IN:… (Jeremiah 10:2 & 3)… “Learn *NOT* The ~~Ways of the heathen~~ ~FOR~ the *Customs* of the people ~ARE~ Vain!
HIS Written Word gives us ~~Explicit *Instruction* regarding worshiping HIM with practices adopted from pagan idolatry….
(Deuteronomy 12:30-32)… “*DO NOT* Inquire after other nations as to how they served their gods… every abomination to the LORD, which HE hateth, have they done unto their gods…
(I Kings 11: 5) tells us of ~~The Wise King Solomon and how he fell from God’s Favor because: He went after the goddess of the Zidonians, namely *Ashtoreth* the same goddess which the Easter celebration IS named for…
OH, many try to proclaim that Easter IS derived from Paschal or Passover, BUT History does not tie the two together….Man did when he tried to make a NEW Religion to appease the worldly heathen nations and bring them into the Church…
So what on earth are we thinking today, that Because Jesus, made ~The Ultimate Sacrifice~ for us we can now be free to bring these cultural customs of abominations into HIS House of Worship Services, and IT IS GOOD???//
The Historian, Socrates Scholasticus, by his writings attributes the observance of ~~Easter~~ by the Church, TO the perpetuation of ~~IT’S~~ customs…. Stating that *Neither* Jesus nor the Apostles joined in the ~~Keeping OF~ or ~The Celebration~~ of any of these festivals…
(Acts 15:13-21) A meeting of some of the followers of Christ referenced the writing of a letter a letter to the: Gentiles who were ~~Newly~~ turned to God to remind them: *TO Abstain from pollutions of idols*…. (SO If Paul preached against the things that the pagan people did warning them to turn away from them, instead of embracing them together with their worship of God, HOW does man today think that IT IS Good?)
(Acts 19 23-41) Discusses the Greek ~Fertility ~ goddess~ Diana is spoken of as “The goddess, the great image that fell from Jupiter, that the city of Ephesus worshipped and men who worked for her, building her temple would suffer because ~~She~~ was displeased with them… Paul preached against this kind of worship…
The Encyclopedia, refers to: Diana as the, fertility goddess, the moon, goddess, and the huntress goddess, OR the Triple goddess, the lunar virgin, mother of creatures and the goddess of nature, childbirth…. Along with two other goddesses, she is referred to as a trinity goddess, along with, Egeria, the water nymph, and Virbius, the woodland god….
The Celtic goddess Ostara paints eggs and white rabbits are sacred to her, and yet these symbols have been incorporated into the Christian celebration, named by man Easter, by in the excuse to remember and reflect on the Resurrection of Christ… Her day is celebrated in late March where in April or May the goddess Flora of flowering plants IS celebrated with dancing flowers, drinking, and merriment….
The Bible does not reflect that Jesus celebrated any of the events carried on in the world around Him, ~Except~~ the ONE ordered by His Father… *Passover** Another failure of the Church leaders to step forward and Stand Surefooted in God’s Will and Way, while at the same time condemning the Government for taking the Bible out of IT’S School of learning…. BECAUSE>
Where the schools teach: mythology, of gods & goddess to our children, the Churches do not refute these teachings but rather embrace them…. In their celebrations, making the teachings of false gods and goddesses acceptable and alluring to young folk, giving them ***NO*** defense against the lures of the Devil…
IF the Bible IS NOT Taught IN Church, Why complain that IT IS NOT Taught IN School???
(Acts 12:1-12) certainly doesn’t prove Easter to be **A Christian** memorial Because the followers of Jesus were not celebrating with colored eggs and pagan practices of men’s traditions, they were, however, in the days of unleavened bread which is *after* Passover, so this word cannot ever refer to THE Passover, BUT they were gathered in the ~~House of Mary~~ offering up prayers to the Father on behalf of Peter…… Read IT carefully and see what happened… Think about IT… Do you suppose that IF they had been gathered in Mary’s House boiling, and coloring eggs, making chocolate bunnies, and celebrating a pagan event, that the LORD would have answered their prayers and set Peter free to come to them… Could IT Be that because we don’t have respect for our Father today, but we put the world of traditions, and pagan cultures first in our thoughts, hearts, and minds, forgetting WHO IS IN Control, of all things, that we have such bad things happen in our fleshly lives? IT IS Easy to teach that God wants us to be happy and what ever we do that makes us happy is Good, BUT we need to check out the ~~Truth~~ of IT…..
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand THAT God THE Father, & His Son Jesus Christ Who are never changing, Always Exact IN Their Way, banned these things IN The Old Testament Days, DID NOT participate in them in the early days of THE Church. SO! Why would they change to appease a Cardinal Ruler and the heathen nations and abide in the contaminating of the True Gospel with pagan rituals offered up to false gods and goddesses?
So many people that call themselves Christians, followers of Christ, will delve into the customs of paganism, reference the mythical gods and goddesses, with out even flinching a nerve of regret that they are breaking a Commandment OF God, Because they say IT Isn’t ONE of the TEN…. Well folks there are MORE Than Ten Commandments, BUT Then folks say all that IS gone away because IT IS Law and we live in the freedom of the spirit… BUT God’s LAW IS Obedience TO HIS Written Word through THE Holy Spirit, and it is sad to say that the spirit of evil IS free to do as it pleases for a short while before IT IS Destroyed, cast into the abyss of eternal flames, the lake of fire…AND All those that received his mark and worshipped ~~The beast~~….(Revelation 19:20-21) It may be fun and pretty now, but it won’t be fun then, when Jesus says, “I never knew you, you workers of iniquity” … Think about what, how, and why you do the things you do… Prove them and yourself by the Written Word… Follow the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, and repent…. Then abstain from the ways of the world that IS Displeasing to God…
