@watchmanbelowradar01 (p. 3) Just so you know I'm not speaking out of ignorance, I will let you know that for several years I was a practitioner of pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon spirituality, and was a devotee of Eostre. I'm very knowledgeable about this, and I assure you there is no connection between Eostre and Ishtar.
@watchmanbelowradar01 (p. 2) There is a reason why the word "Easter" sounds so much like "eastern;" they mean almost exactly the same thing. The Anglo-Saxons are a Germanic people whose lineage is completely unrelated to the Semitic peoples of the Middle East. Neither the cultures, languages, or spiritual traditions of these peoples are related, and there is zero evidence that the Indo-Europeans or their ancestors ever lived in Mesopotamia.
@AlamoBuck I want to say nice try...I can appreciate the attempt. The word "Easter" comes from back in the time of Nimrod and his mother/wife Sameramus. When Sameramus was going to die she asked her son Tamus to have the people worship her whcih she would fall to the earth in a giant egg called Eshtar. She was known as the moon goddess as Nimrod (Baal) is the sun god. This is the mystery religion that has haunted the earth through til the time that the Satan cloaked his religion as Catholocism.
@RaptureOrTribulation ROTFL! This is a fabrication! Sorry, but your position has moved from ignorance to idiocy. Sure, tell me where in the mythology of Nimrod you see any mention of Eostre? Doesn't exist. I'm inclined to think you made the whole thing up, although I wouldn't be surprised if some idiot out there has been putting this forward as fact and you fell prey to it.
@watchmanbelowradar01 (p. 1) Wow! I'm sorry, but your ignorance of ancient cultures and history shocks me. These two cultures are completely unrelated. Attempts have been made to link Eostre to Ishtar because of the coincidental similarities in their names, but the names are actually unrelated. "Eostre" comes from the Anglo-Saxon meaning "from the east," due to her relation to the dawn.

@watchmanbelowradar01 Sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about. Easter (Eostre) was an Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring, dawn, and new life. Ishtar was a completely unrelated deity from the Middle East. Any attempts to link these two deities from very different cultures is born from ignorance.
Many of the words we use are of pagan origin or were used by pagans first. Shall we write a new language? How about these books we read? Pagans have been writing and reading much longer than Christians. Perhaps we should toss out the bible altogether...OR perhaps we should realize it's all about intent. Love one another and do unto others as you would have them do to you. Quit judging each other for our differences and love each other for the good inside each of us. God only sees the good we do.
@TheValknut christian is deception they interpreted the bible the way the government wants them to because bible prophecy states about a beast the beast is governments not a person and that beast is the major governments plus ours working all together with Satan, they can't have you learning the truth now can they
You know we have been lied to over the years, not only by Governments but by religious leaders, who have preached so many lies that are not even in Scripture and lead many on the path to destruction. You might want to visit a site that is in my user name which is 2besaved dot com.There is a great audio there that will shock you and you will come away asking many questions. Thanks Jane
@octaveoclara1 Most people are to afraid to admit such a thing, It's so mush easier believing in a lie then accepting the world may be different then we understand it.
Good vid! Praise Jahuveh! I don't celebrate these man made holidays anymore, I don't miss them now that Jahuveh has helped me to die to self in these matters.
Besides WWJD?... Would He celebrate halloween? Would He glorify santa? or st. patrick? or cupid? or how about a bunny rabbit? I think not!
@TheValknut, the topic of religions is like a never ending learning experience. But it definitely helps to learn from someone who knows what they're talking about..
So many thanks for your time and efforts to rspond.
Valknut, just because 1 religion express more respect for nature than another, that doesnt mean the other disrespects nature either. I claim no religions since none were creations of the true creator and why I will not worship a way of life or trust any bible created or translated by man. I now see religions as I see racism for they are just more reasons man created to devide us and turn man against man when none are any better than the other. I dont point, I dont judge, I only ask questions.
The more you study gods true words and orig scripture the more truth you will find. Christianity already celebrates holidays on pagan holidays dont they? The bible, esp the new test does not give us accurate dates of the birth of jesus & other holidays because they went by a diff calander and since man created the new translations of the bible, it was man who chose to translate things backwards. The reason why scripture warns us not to follow "future" FALSE doctrines. Good observation endtimes
@TheValknut If your pagan doesnt that make you wiccan? And all wiccans are practitioners of the craft right? Another words witchcraft. Those who practice the craft are witches who use spells that require practitioners to occasionally worship or envoke powers from deitys other than god which is why GOD said it is evil. Not Christians. But ethier way all religions were created by man, not god so christianity is no better than paganism. Its just another reason we created to be predjudice.
Maybe we feel the way we do because,just like Christians in the past there are some people who take paganism to the extremes.And also,Christians will never accept anything that is not approved by God.Plain and simple.God bless
The date for Easter is calculated my the full moon cycle all based on pagan holidays. The date fro Christmas was picked to coincide with an ancient Pagan Holiday. Decorating trees dates back to ancient pagan holidays.
Amen sister, Great vid! This one needs to be spread around because soooooo many people just don't know. If christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Savior, then why don't presents say From JESUS? Yeshua gave/gives and loved/loves every day not just one day a year. A lot of us have bought the lies hook, line and sinker. Wake up and rebuke the perversion of our sacred church by paganism and corporate greed. May GOD bless and keep you all. Amen!
@Jesterthemisfit I just discovered recently that Jesus was not born on December 25, but actually September 11th. Do a google search, and your will see the history behind this. I was shocked to say the least. An the way we celebrate Christmas with the tree and all are actually pagan rituals. Well I don't know if I will be decorating from now on because I'm Christian not Pagan.
The word Easter is just the English version of the name of the pagan goddess "Astarte" "Ashtoreth" "Ishtar" or "Eoster".....all names referring to the goddess of sex, love and fertility.
Judges 2:13 "Yeah, they forsook YHWH and served Ba'al and the Ashtoreths" (Ashtoreth was the sister of Ba'al
ALSO Exodus 23:13 "And be watchful of all I have said to you. And you shall not mention another god by name:it shall not be heard from your mouth."
There is nothing to honor our Savior in "easter"!!
Every holiday was a pagan holiday until it was changed by the Christians!
The people who became Christians were the very people who celebrated the pagan holidays. We all know that Halloween is still a pagan holiday but the rest were changed to celebrate Christ. The traditions of the people carried on in their new found God,The One and only God, and their celebrations became in honor of Him. No longer are Christmas and Easter a pagan holiday but a day we remember the birth and death of Jesus.
"Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit."
We have been decieved. True teachings and purposes for all these things have been deprived of this generation. Though we have the Bible. God protects His word. Because it was meant for all of us. Have a sound mind regardless and fervently seek the will of God!!
after my mom's death, I really began to look at things a lot closer, and found out how I had been taught WRONG in the church. I have offended a lot of my family by no longer celebrating the "holiday" moments, and because i now recognize the Sabbath as sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. I just want to please my LORD. GREAT video, thank you, and all the answers can be found in research and in the Bible. I did my research, and it really opened my eyes to how all of this began Thanks!
@TheValknut -re: days of the week and months were named after pagan gods - there are scriptures that teach not to even have the names of gods on our lips - those known as quakers taught this generations ago, we would do well to heed this... i disagree with your thought on christianity, christianity is to follow Christ and His teachings, He came to deliver us from pagan everything...
You are absolutely right! They are two different things, but appears the masses aren't aware of that. This year I feel there will be more Christians observing Passover and the Feasts of Tabernacles (Sukkot), as more and more christian truth is revealed! God Bless!
I agree! For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear! The WORD that is etched on our hearts by the ONE true God is awakenning some people finally! Including me!
Halloween is Samhain. Santa is Molech (funny how kids sit on his lap? A re-enactment of child-sacrifice by fire.) Been hip to the jive on this a long time now, our kids are targetted by the perception of all the 'fun', but these 'holy'days as marketted are shown devoid of the history behind them. Good work sis.
Great ! video so many christian who have no clue to what the meaning of these pagan practices are and probably still don't understand. great effort in trying to wake up the sleepy heads out there.
Many now treat Holloween as a holiday not to celabrate these days . I as a Christian person still celabrate it till this day and im am totally aware of its pagan qualities but if your not aware during the time of the witches being burned at thye stake many people new exactly what holloween was and is but still celabrate it although vary differently and feared it in a spiritial sence taken seriously . that it lost now except for those that know about it and have studied the holiday
Half of what it says is just way out there. Also completely takes out the churches involvement of incorporating these holidays into there own religious festivities.
No, I didn't take out the churches involvement in all of these! Of course they are part of the problem! I just didn't have the room to add more dialogue, and I would like people to do some research on their own, and not be spoon fed the world's version of truth.
@entimes777 I don't know what your religious affiliation is yet as I've only just started reading the comments but I like what you said about people not letting ourselves be "spoon fed the world's version of the truth". This is the problem with society in a nutshell. We allow other's to tell us what the truth is because we've become complacent and apathetic. It's the cause of many wars, market crashes, money upsets and woe in general. Anyway, thank you. It gives me hope. :D

There are about ten different Hebrew and Greek words translated "fool" in the Bible.
These words have such meaning as "empty," "thickheaded," and "headless" . "A fool
is one who is not prudent...without aim or counsel...who carelessly commits everything to
an uncertain issue; opposed to one who walks uprightly..." )
