Easter - Christian or Pagan?

Acharya S is a scholar classically educated in archaeology, history, mythology and languages. Acharya specializes in religion and mythology, critiquing and comparing them, and providing unique insights into their origins. Although born into a Christian (Congregationalist Protestant) family, Acharya does not subscribe to any particular religion, nor is she a hardcore "atheist."

Fingerprints of The Christ"; and "Christ in Egypt: The Horus-Jesus Connection."

Very good video. However Jesus was a historical figure. Whether or not you want to believe He is God or not is irrelevant to the conversation.

Easter and Christmas certainly are of pagan origins and Catholicism is to blame for both of them being implemented into modern day false Christianity.

However, Catholicism is not the same as Biblical Christianity. There were always sects that kept it pure. Even the Puritans of Britain fought hard against the Christmas tradition.

Pre-Catholic Justin Martyr, circa 150AD, recognized the analogies between Christianity and Paganism. To the Pagans, he wrote: "When we say that the Word, who is first born of God, was produced without sexual union, and that he, Jesus Christ, our teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven; we propound NOTHING DIFFERENT from what you believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter (Zeus)." [First Apology, ch. xxi]

@JESSEJAMESHUNTER Ahhh, the pride of blind faith and ignorance. Bible thumpers never cease to amaze me with their blatant foolishness in the face of truth.

@dcfinest26 LOL Neither the quran or the bible has anything to do with Gods word ! Its a fraud its a scam ! Christians stole everything they could to make the book. Sumerians, Indian and Egypt scripture of legends and myths, placed secret codes in the bible, translation and interpretation errors, pure fantasy, placing things out of context oh I could go on and on.

I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.
