As someone who believes the opposite of what this video is meant to teach I can say that's about how it goes when you try to warn institutional christianity about the paganism they're infected with. Christ was born!-thus we put up a tree we deck with gold and silver every year and hold a christmas eve candle ceremony. At this point I've just come to realize it's a lost cause. The Holy Spirit must convict them, reason sure wont, they've exchanged it for tradition
@@your_name_here2158The difference between how paganism has infected Christian holidays and how Christianity has influenced Pagan religions throughout history is really telling though. Christmas Trees, Stockings, the Easter Bunny, etc are small traditions that made Christianity more approachable to the pagans of the times and certain areas, yet they were adopted and shaped to be representative of Christ and his birth/resurrection/etc. Whereas when Paganism was changed to attract Christianity, the entire lore of their gods shifted. They claimed that Odin in his endless pursuit of knowledge hung himself from Yggdrasil, the World Tree to learn of death and the runes, where he impaled himself with a spear in the side, and let himself starve and die of thirst over nine days, before bleeding out onto the runes beneath him, giving him their power, one of which was able to resurrect him. That’s not a small tradition that has been adopted to represent Christ, but a full on piece of their beliefs and lore that is ripped straight up from the story of Christ with few changes. Pagan traditions CAN be dangerous when it comes to Christian Holidays, but the examples are usually still clear. Santa becoming a bigger symbol of Christmas than Christ, and consumerism outweighing the gift of charity associated with gift giving are two recent issues. Coca Cola is largely responsible for the popularity of Santa and his outweighing of Christ, to where people celebrate Christmas as atheists because they find it fun and feel entitled to presents, not because it means anything to them. The smaller details like candles on pine trees and stockings aren’t what bothers me, as topping the tree with an angel or the star that foretold Christ’s birth pulls the symbolism together, especially when placed alongside carols and Christ in the Manger. There’s a line between what detracts and what adds to Christian holidays.
Last Christmas, I saw a meme with caption where Jesus says: "As God, I have full dibs on December 25th and every other day of the year, no matter what any pagan used it for." Therefore, Easter is for worshipping Jesus and therefore worshipping God.
[5:109] In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith: What was your response (from mankind) ? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden, [5:110] When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic; [5:111] And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee) "we are muslims". [5:112] When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is thy Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven ? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if ye are true believers. [5:113] (They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses. [5:114] Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers. [5:115] Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures. [5:116] And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah ? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden ? [5:117] I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things. [5:118] If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise. [5:119] Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph. [5:120] Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
@@SonicXisCanon God commanded the Jews to celebrate the day He brought them out of bondage in egypt, similarly the first believers thought it would be pleasing to God if they were to celebrate the day when the Lord brought the whole world out of bondage from sin. It therefore does not seem to have much to do with the pagans but rather it seems to just be that those who worship Christ want to honour Him.
@@SonicXisCanon As a not-quite Baptist (I don't agree that the water-dunk ritual is *required* for Salvation), I can confirm that the syncretism in many traditions and holidays is heavy. Also...if they're still paganing (yes, it's a verb now, like partying) in any way, then they aren't REALLY converts are they?
Tell him he stole his theology from wiccans who thought it wasn't cool to pretend to be Sabrina the Teenage Witch so they looked up some old names of holidays without any information about the actual practices of them since Christians supplanted those religions in Europe by the 10th century and no one bothered to actually write down what those people actually belived, so the people he learned it from made up a bunch of stuff in the 70's and 80's, pretended it was old and that they are totally not new agers with an inferiority complex. Before I came to Christ and the one true God I was into that stuff. Can't claim Christians stole their holiday when their "religion" isn't older than the wannabe 50's Harry Potters. None of them actually believe it anyway. They are Athiests larping as (usually) vikings anyway.

And in every other language except for English and German, the word for Easter is similar to "Pascha" such as "Paschae" in Latin, "Pasqua" in Italian, "Pascua" in Spanish, etc. So even if the word Easter has a connection with Ishtar, it's still the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. Anyway, Happy Easter from a Catholic.

Oh! Old parishioner ladies!! 😂 My Theology professor, an old really good sense of humor priest, said those ladies were his mothers in law, with all that that means 😅. You made me remember that, because catholic or protestant we got those in every church 😂
As a Theravadin Buddhist, I suppose I don't really have a dog in this race, but seeing the whole "Ishtar-Easter" thing thoroughly refuted at long last was very gratifying. Easter's about Jesus conquering Death and rising again, representing a hope for humanity's reconciliation with God, 100%. (And chocolate.)
I am a baptist pastor. I laughed so hard at the "hard core granma,, in the Robertson check out" (or what ever she said), I had to pause the video. Thank you, He is risen, The Lord Jesus is ALIVE!,
I didn’t expect it to not be Horus. Had me laughing until those pictures of the Easter bunny. They really creeped me out, especially the on on the right. Love the videos! It’s a lot of work but all of us fans appreciate it.
Several years back, after leaving Easter Sunday service, I wished a family a Happy Easter. The dad responded back in a very unfriendly tone in his voice and stern look on his face, "Happy resurrection." He must have been a visitor from out of state and was a Calvinist.
As a language major, I really, deeply appreciate hearing someboy else oppose the Ishtar myth. Even Oester or whatever is a stretch, and in no way diminishes from the fact we celebrate Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday. God hates people who stir up contention among the brethren.
I always laugh at these arguments that only work in the context of a particular language or culture. Not everyone in the world calls it "easter" or something similar, nor do they connect it with rabbits or eggs, so unless you think English speaking people "invented" this whole Christianity thing I don't know what these people are trying to argue by saying that Easter sounds kinda similar to Ishtar.
@@TheJoeschmoe777 Psalm 1 1How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers! 2Instead, his delight is in the LORD’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. 3He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in seasong, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment, and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous. 6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
God warned, Dont mix linnen with wool. This means don't mix manmade traditions like christmas and easter bunnies with worship of God. Dont mix the heathen pagan ways with the pure way of God. Only few will be saved.
I've unironically heard people argue that because the letter j was invented like 600 years ago or something that means Jesus never existed and was made up only a few centuries ago so I wouldn't doubt it if some people unironically believe English people created Christianity
Funny thing I had heard so many Ishtar videos I was actually thinking it would be funny if Lutheran Satire made an Ishtar video. To my surprise I saw this. From a Catholic fan and brother in Christ, Happy Easter, He is Risen Alleluia.
I love this! I was.raised Catholic and as a born again Christian I want nothing to do with paganism. Thanks for giving me peace of mind and a laugh. :)
If the name for Easter really comes from a Germanic pagan deity, whether Ishtar or Eostre (whom we only have one speculative source for), then why were Christians celebrating Easter centuries before they ever came into contact with said Germanic pagans? And besides, It's only called "Easter" in English and "Oster" in German. In nearly every other major European language, the name for the holiday is derived from the word for Passover.
No, it doesn't. There is no evidence there ever was an Eostre goddess, NOR WAS IT A HOLIDAY; Eostre was the name of the lunar month in which Easter always fell. Eostre and its cognates means "east/dawn" in ancient germanic languages. It was the month in which the dawn came earlier in the day. It's POSSIBLE there was a goddess called 'dawn,' but if so, she was utterly insignificant and leaves no mark on history. None of the other months have names of gods, so why would that one? Get a grip. Christians were celebrating the Resurrection, which came to be called Easter after germanic people were converted in those languages, long before they were converted and before it had an English name.
@@toomanymarys7355 I never said it came from a pagan deity because I don't believe that. I was making the case that even if it did, it still proves nothing because the holiday predates the name.
I've been trying to learn animation and I have to say the animation in this is great but the background is so aesthetically pleasing! Like that's gorgeous,from the outside to the inside of the church, the shadows, the lighting, the shapes, great detail and color.
This is the most hilarious video I've seen in a long time. Researching ancient history is something I love, so it always frustrated me when people mentioned Ishtar. People ask me for proof that Easter doesn't come from Mesopotamian Ishtar, and I ask them what kind of "proof" do they need? We can prove that we are English and not Mesopotamian.
I love how Preacher Man was so done with this pagan nonsense that Horus/Ishtar/Southern Baptist grandma didn't even get a word in lol. Also Ishtar kinda hot

"Easter" comes from the word "East" as the corresponding German word "Osten" comes from the word "Ost". The words "East" and "Ost" meant "dawn", "sunrise" or "morning" which is why we call the easternly direction "East". The Saxon calendar being derived from the Germanic Calendar had the month "Easturmonath" which was the month of April in which we celebrate Easter. The months of these calendars were named after characteristics of the month. April comes around the time of spring which could be considered the morning of the seasons and is the time at which the days begin to become noticeably longer. Jesus rose early Sunday morning so the rising sun in the east can remind us of Christ who arose on that first Easter morning. Also early Christians writings trace the origin of the practice of the celebration of "the Saviours Pascha" to the apostles themselves and celebrating it was not controversial until many years years after the controversy they had about when to celebrate. So when the word "Easter" is seen in Acts 12:4 in the King James Bible, which by the way is the only time in the New Testament that the word "Pascha" is used in a post resurrection context, we can acknowledge that it is not an error. The fact that the days of unleavened bread are pointed out indicates that the Christian "Pascha" was being referred to, which occurred at that timek and not the Jewish Pascha. Also the pagan goddess "Eostre" was named after the month of Easturmonath, not the other way around. The King James Bible is without error and Easter is not a pagan holiday.
You are right that Easter is not a pagan holiday, but if you read Acts 12: 4 in context, it is clearly referring to a Jewish holiday, not a Christian one.
@@hotwax9376 They are not "jewish holidays", they are our holidays. Day of unleaven bread, passover(pascha) > easter bunnies and all other nonsense, traditions of men PS: God hates the christmas tree and will burn people in hell forever over it.
@@hotwax9376 It does not clearly refer to the Jewish Passover, but Christians and Jews were both in Jerusalem during the time of their respective festivities. Herod was concerned about a riot occurring if he executed Peter during the time of these celebrations. And there would not be much of a point of mentioning the days of unleavened bread unless it was referring to the Christian “pascha” that occurred during the days of unleavened bread which was Easter. This is undoubtedly what the King James translators had in mind when they retained the word “Easter” in this passage, when completing the translation effort begun by Erasmus and Tyndale. It is very interesting that this one place in the New Testament is the only place where the word is used in a post resurrection context and that it is the one place that the translators chose to render the word as “Easter”.
The animation has upscaled amazingly and the Ishtar pictured here is has all the intricate detail of Chick comic art's finest days ("she's smoking hot"). Good one!
Thankyou these type of people drive me nuts now I have a quick video to share instead of rage typing like 5 paragraphs no one wants to read. Now I can share a video no one will watch

Years ago, my brother became lutheran and showed me this channel too, we being from an evangelical background. I've been subscribed ever since, more than 5 years, maybe. Still laugh every single time. Hope this series never dies.
Lutherans are not considered evangelical?
@@Tennysystem I don't know, I'm just translating from what we call in my language. Maybe pentecostals, which is another term used? but many denominations are also considered pentecostals here. So, yeah, I was just sharing it with no ill-intent.
@@Tennysystem Some people want to exclude Lutherans from evangelicalism - as in the modern US movement - because Lutherans believe in the real presence and because Lutherans are "too Calvinistic" when talking about unconditional election.
@@sveinungkvilhaugsvik9891 I don't know about that, I'm just translating from my own language. There's no ill-will from my part
@@MajWinters100 No worries, I didn't get the impression of any ill-will at all.
That Lion “grr” made me laugh much harder than it probably should have. Lol. I know it was meant to be funny, but I was cracking up too much. Hahahaha
He is Risen!
He is risen indeed, Hallelujah!!!!
As a Southern Baptist, I never get tired of your videos, their entertaining and informative. Keep up the awesomeness and God bless you and yours sincerely sir 🙏. Happy Easter y'all
I love this channel so much. This “ruins *insert religious holiday*” series you have is one of the best things ever
Haha, I'm Catholic, and this is hilarious. 😂
No, stay in your lane.
Welcome!
@@WasLostButNowAmFound No. God bless you.
@@ianmartinesq Thank you!
Also Catholic. Some of his videos are great. His James 2 one, though... woof! Talk about cherry-picking.
Oh! Old parishioner ladies!! 😂 My Theology professor, an old really good sense of humor priest, said those ladies were his mothers in law, with all that that means 😅. You made me remember that, because catholic or protestant we got those in every church 😂
Yes, true 😂 Happy Easter!
Catholic here. All I can say is YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I've been waiting for this for so long.
As a Theravadin Buddhist, I suppose I don't really have a dog in this race, but seeing the whole "Ishtar-Easter" thing thoroughly refuted at long last was very gratifying. Easter's about Jesus conquering Death and rising again, representing a hope for humanity's reconciliation with God, 100%. (And chocolate.)
I am a baptist pastor. I laughed so hard at the "hard core granma,, in the Robertson check out" (or what ever she said), I had to pause the video.
Thank you,
He is risen, The Lord Jesus is ALIVE!,

In 1994. Can't forget it was 1994.
I didn’t expect it to not be Horus. Had me laughing until those pictures of the Easter bunny. They really creeped me out, especially the on on the right. Love the videos! It’s a lot of work but all of us fans appreciate it.
Several years back, after leaving Easter Sunday service, I wished a family a Happy Easter. The dad responded back in a very unfriendly tone in his voice and stern look on his face, "Happy resurrection." He must have been a visitor from out of state and was a Calvinist.
Classical Reformed or Presbyterian?
@carlt8188 It must have been God's sovereign will!
the lion's "guhhhh" made me happy
edit the second was 10x better thank you
Just when we needed him the most, Horus...I mean Ishtar returned.
Well played, Patrick!!!
The spinoff we all have been waiting for!!!!!
The last 15 seconds 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, Pastor Fiene for bringing us joy and pointing us to Christ!
As a language major, I really, deeply appreciate hearing someboy else oppose the Ishtar myth.
Even Oester or whatever is a stretch, and in no way diminishes from the fact we celebrate Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
God hates people who stir up contention among the brethren.
The drawings and animation are beautiful! I laughed out loud just looking at the thumbnail because I knew it was going to be good!
I always laugh at these arguments that only work in the context of a particular language or culture. Not everyone in the world calls it "easter" or something similar, nor do they connect it with rabbits or eggs, so unless you think English speaking people "invented" this whole Christianity thing I don't know what these people are trying to argue by saying that Easter sounds kinda similar to Ishtar.
Easter eggs and easter bunnies have nothing to do with Christ and never will. Those who engage in these traditions of men risk going to hell.

@@TheJoeschmoe777 Psalm 1
1How happy is the man
who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners
or join a group of mockers!
2Instead, his delight is in the LORD’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. 3He is like a tree planted beside streams of water
that bears its fruit in seasong,
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment, and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.
6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
God warned, Dont mix linnen with wool. This means don't mix manmade traditions like christmas and easter bunnies with worship of God. Dont mix the heathen pagan ways with the pure way of God.
Only few will be saved.
I've unironically heard people argue that because the letter j was invented like 600 years ago or something that means Jesus never existed and was made up only a few centuries ago so I wouldn't doubt it if some people unironically believe English people created Christianity
The new art style is great. Happy Easter to everyone!
Thank you, Pastor Fiene, for yet another great video.
Christ is risen!
LOL!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love it!! Happy Easter and Resurrection Day to all!!🙏🏻🐇🐰🐤🐥🐣🥚✝️
Funny thing I had heard so many Ishtar videos I was actually thinking it would be funny if Lutheran Satire made an Ishtar video. To my surprise I saw this. From a Catholic fan and brother in Christ, Happy Easter, He is Risen Alleluia.
he came back when we needed him most!
Are you referring to Horus or Jesus?
@@silmarien1383 in this case, Hans. in every other case, Jesus.
I love this! I was.raised Catholic and as a born again Christian I want nothing to do with paganism. Thanks for giving me peace of mind and a laugh. :)
You're always welcome to come home. 😊
@@mitchellguidry1078 sounds like he escaped and made it home
If the name for Easter really comes from a Germanic pagan deity, whether Ishtar or Eostre (whom we only have one speculative source for), then why were Christians celebrating Easter centuries before they ever came into contact with said Germanic pagans? And besides, It's only called "Easter" in English and "Oster" in German. In nearly every other major European language, the name for the holiday is derived from the word for Passover.
No, it doesn't. There is no evidence there ever was an Eostre goddess, NOR WAS IT A HOLIDAY; Eostre was the name of the lunar month in which Easter always fell. Eostre and its cognates means "east/dawn" in ancient germanic languages. It was the month in which the dawn came earlier in the day. It's POSSIBLE there was a goddess called 'dawn,' but if so, she was utterly insignificant and leaves no mark on history. None of the other months have names of gods, so why would that one? Get a grip.
Christians were celebrating the Resurrection, which came to be called Easter after germanic people were converted in those languages, long before they were converted and before it had an English name.
@@toomanymarys7355 I never said it came from a pagan deity because I don't believe that. I was making the case that even if it did, it still proves nothing because the holiday predates the name.
I was absolutely not expecting a new LS video today. Score!
May that gatling gun you call a mouth never run dry.
Pastor Fiene go "BRRRRRT!"
I've been trying to learn animation and I have to say the animation in this is great but the background is so aesthetically pleasing! Like that's gorgeous,from the outside to the inside of the church, the shadows, the lighting, the shapes, great detail and color.
This is the most hilarious video I've seen in a long time. Researching ancient history is something I love, so it always frustrated me when people mentioned Ishtar. People ask me for proof that Easter doesn't come from Mesopotamian Ishtar, and I ask them what kind of "proof" do they need? We can prove that we are English and not Mesopotamian.
He is risen . Happy Easter.
I've been waiting for this for years
Those mall "Ishtar" Bunny pics are nightmare fuel. Thanks, Hans!
THE LUTHERANS SAVE EASTER
Loved this. Saving it as a resource. Happy Easter!
I like you were able to get Jeff Foxworthy to voice the Southern Baptist grandma.
I love how Preacher Man was so done with this pagan nonsense that Horus/Ishtar/Southern Baptist grandma didn't even get a word in lol. Also Ishtar kinda hot
This is hysterical on so many levels.
Happy Easter, Pastor. Thanks for the chuckle.
when Ishtar appeared and had Horus' voice I absolutely lost it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lion: “Guhhhhh”
Preacher man sounded a bit angrier this time...and I totally get it. The same pagan lies pop up every year, every holy day, and Christians sadly fall for them. Thanks Rev. Fiene!
This was much better than "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown."

Yay! I'm so happy you're doing an Ishtar/Easter lesson. He is risen, Alleluia!
Best of You Tube right here! Thanks Mr. Hans.
Thank you! I was chuckling out loud and it’s near midnight when I watched this! 🤣 It’s a good thing I’m on the other side of the house! This is hilarious and on point! Inspiring Philosophy’s channel helps to keep me informed, gives a lot of specific scholarly resources and makes me laugh often too. However your videos are so unique and the production is really well done! I come back to them often and have shared them time and again. I truly appreciate the effort you put into making these videos. I definitely enjoy partaking of the fruits of your philosophy of “Teach the Faith by making fun of stuff”! Thank you again Pastor. May our resurrected Lord and Savior bless you and keep you!🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️🙏🏼💕
I was just hoping the other day yall would make this. This is awesome
Bro was tired of Horus's crap lol
LOL 😂 This was so funny. It's good to see you back. HE IS RISEN INDEED!
I love how the southern Baptist grandma is floating and how she was ishtar
I like how the pastor told Horus to beat it but respectfully explained his point to the grandma.
The only baptist I personally know that’s crabby about egg hunts at church is me 😂
Glad to have you back Preacher Man. God Bless and Happy Easter!
Who else hummed the Horus theme song to themselves
I watched the "Horus Reads the Internet" video just before checking this one out. A beautiful syzygy.
That stupid lion makes me lose my cool every time 😂
Well done and two birds with one stone. - a Southern Baptist
The art in this one is totes dope! Nice styles and props to the art team! And happy Easter!

"Easter" comes from the word "East" as the corresponding German word "Osten" comes from the word "Ost". The words "East" and "Ost" meant "dawn", "sunrise" or "morning" which is why we call the easternly direction "East". The Saxon calendar being derived from the Germanic Calendar had the month "Easturmonath" which was the month of April in which we celebrate Easter. The months of these calendars were named after characteristics of the month. April comes around the time of spring which could be considered the morning of the seasons and is the time at which the days begin to become noticeably longer. Jesus rose early Sunday morning so the rising sun in the east can remind us of Christ who arose on that first Easter morning. Also early Christians writings trace the origin of the practice of the celebration of "the Saviours Pascha" to the apostles themselves and celebrating it was not controversial until many years years after the controversy they had about when to celebrate. So when the word "Easter" is seen in Acts 12:4 in the King James Bible, which by the way is the only time in the New Testament that the word "Pascha" is used in a post resurrection context, we can acknowledge that it is not an error. The fact that the days of unleavened bread are pointed out indicates that the Christian "Pascha" was being referred to, which occurred at that timek and not the Jewish Pascha. Also the pagan goddess "Eostre" was named after the month of Easturmonath, not the other way around. The King James Bible is without error and Easter is not a pagan holiday.
"The King James Bible is without error"
KJVOnlyism or KJV 100% perfect word of God with 0% flaws is retarded doctrine.
You are right that Easter is not a pagan holiday, but if you read Acts 12: 4 in context, it is clearly referring to a Jewish holiday, not a Christian one.
@@hotwax9376 They are not "jewish holidays", they are our holidays.
Day of unleaven bread, passover(pascha) > easter bunnies and all other nonsense, traditions of men
PS: God hates the christmas tree and will burn people in hell forever over it.
@@hotwax9376 It does not clearly refer to the Jewish Passover, but Christians and Jews were both in Jerusalem during the time of their respective festivities. Herod was concerned about a riot occurring if he executed Peter during the time of these celebrations. And there would not be much of a point of mentioning the days of unleavened bread unless it was referring to the Christian “pascha” that occurred during the days of unleavened bread which was Easter.
This is undoubtedly what the King James translators had in mind when they retained the word “Easter” in this passage, when completing the translation effort begun by Erasmus and Tyndale.
It is very interesting that this one place in the New Testament is the only place where the word is used in a post resurrection context and that it is the one place that the translators chose to render the word as “Easter”.
Oh, thank goodness. Now I can enjoy my Cadbury eggs without guilt.
They're fine except they're even more gross than peeps lol😂
Happy Easter!
Hooray preacher man and Horus are back
The animation has upscaled amazingly and the Ishtar pictured here is has all the intricate detail of Chick comic art's finest days ("she's smoking hot"). Good one!
Sharing this on Gab. Happy Easter and God bless.
Well, the grandma was a new one.
Thankyou these type of people drive me nuts now I have a quick video to share instead of rage typing like 5 paragraphs no one wants to read. Now I can share a video no one will watch

How do you make your pictures talk? I want to try to make my own videos, but I'm struggling to figure out how to do something like that. Been a fan for years and have always enjoyed your videos
im orthodox but nice job
Please tell me how you got the entire focus of your liturgical year from German pagans through, stop laughing, Latin Rite, I said stop laughing, Roman Catholics?
