Christianity is not honoring the Resurrection of the Messiah on EasterSunDay, but a PAGAN GODDESS!
This is an ABOMINATION in the eyes of the one true and living Elohim, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob!
And there you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
But if you shall seek יהוה your Elohim, from there, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deu 4:28-29)
the common mistake is that the nation of israel today consist of the jews(judah) but that not right..those other 10 tribes are out here in the world today..so-called lost. the jews are just 1 tribe of the 12. benjamin and some of the levites went with judah when they split from the nation of israel. so when GOD says THE HOUSE OF ISREAL he is referring to those other tribes, too. the jews does not make up the whole house of israel. america england australia canada france denmark are just a few

also in ezekiel 8:13-17 when those men were facing the sun worshiping..thats used in churches today..its called sunrise services. mostly used during the easter holiday. the roman catholic changed the sabbath from saturday to sunday (sunworship) that why GOD say use this day (sabbath) as an identifying mark(God;s mark) vs 666(devil's mark). thats why 10 tribes were lost and the jews(judah,,benjamin and some of the levites) are known today..they kept the true sabbath..but the rest are still lost

So many errors, so litte space Just a few, then.The word "Easter" comes, according to Bede, from the name of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre. Many linguists today question this. But this is the only mention of any form of the name in any text. To repeat that, this is the ONLY mention of the name in any text No variations either, no "Ostara," for instance.Note as well that Eostre, if she existed, was a Germanic goddess, and Tammuz is Near Eastern. No connection. Get your facts straight, please.

@KatherineBenElohim where did the Father teach not to worship the Son? I think we need to expand our discussion.

@KatherineBenElohim.
Worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. There is one God. Simply because one doesn't understand the doctrine of the Trinity does not make it false. The early Christians worshiped Jesus as God. The scriptures teach the deity of Christ. If Christ is NOT deity, then worshiping Him would be blasphemous. If He IS deity, then NOT worshiping him would be a great sin. It certainly would not be honoring to Him would it?

@KatherineBenElohim to worship a mere creature would be idolatry. But Jesus commanded us to worship Him and accepted worship. His followers worshiped him and continue to do so. Hence, either Jesus commanding idolatry (hence he was NO prophet and certainly not a "good teacher") or else we should do as He said. No prophet or angel of the Lord ever made such claims as Jesus did. You don't believe he was insane or a liar and there's no evidence of a conspiracy. So why not take him at his word?

@KatherineBenElohim as you can tell I'm not an Arian. I don't believe that God the Son was a creature. I am not a Modalist (who believes that there's only one divine person who changes "hats" or relates to us in different ways at different times only). I am not a Jehovah's Witness who believes Jesus is an archangel. I am not a Hindu who thinks he is just one of many "sons of gods" who have come (avatars). I am not a Deist who thinks he was "just a good man."

@KatherineBenElohim Jesus Christ (Yahshua/Yeshua the Mosiach/Messiah) is God incarnate. He is not the Father, but he is the Son. He is not a mere human being "adopted" by God. He is not a creature like Elijah, or Moses, Adam or any of the angels or archangels. The Son, the Word (Logos) existed eternally with the Father. There was never a time when the Son did not exist. There is only ONE God, not two, not three. Three eternal persons in one God.

@KatherineBenElohim to put it in terms you will understand... Yahshua/Yeshua Mosiach is YHWH incarnate. He is the mediator of a NEW covenant between God and man, not simply somebody telling us to keep following the covenant with Moses. Muslims use this same argument, to say that Jesus introduced nothing new, but it's simply false. You've studied the New Testament, so you know this, right? No offense.

@KatherineBenElohim also, are you equally condemnatory of Reform Jews (the majority of religious Jews today, I would think) who don't require the keeping of kosher? (I understand that some Reform Jews do, and some do at certain times of the year, but it's not kept like in Orthodox circles).
The New Testament didn't exist (and couldn't' have existed) prior to the incarnation and sacrifice of Christ.
