YUMMY! I like the candied eggs with marshmellow in them!Easter Symbols and Traditions | HISTORY
As for Christians celebrating Pagan holidays, well, I mean who doesn’t love chocolate?
So y'all knew I could not get through Easter without putting it up. What are all the similarities about Easter and the Pagan Holiday? Where did we get our Petercotton tale and Easter egg celebrations and why do Christians celebrate it?
‘Therefore come out from them and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you ...’ says the Lord Almighty.” - 2 Cor. 6:16, 17, NIVSB.

We celebrate the resurrection of Easter. It isn't a sin to have fun with eggs and Petercotton tale (unless it violates your conscience.)So y'all knew I could not get through Easter without putting it up.

There's nothing wrong with Paganism. Christians killed pagans (death then and words now). To me, why would I not celebrate a holiday for christian views when the history was based on death of a pagan rather than a difference of opinion. I celebrated Easter when I was young. I don't see a reason for it now. The last time I celebrated it was when I got my confirmation.
Why would that be? Jesus sent us out to preach “in all the inhabited earth” before the foretold “end” would come. (Matthew 24:14) We were to go and find the worthy ones and teach them. (Matthew 10:11-14) We were to make disciples of them. (Matthew 28:19-20)One would think that if you were seriously committed to following the spirit, as well as the letter, of the instruction to "come out from them and be separate",
- you wouldn't be in this forum to begin with, or
- at most, you'd confine your posts to the Jehovah's Witnesses DIR at:
Ahhh, ... so by your own testimony, all Jehovah's Witnesses come to RF to preach/proselytize, in violation of Forum Rule #8.We were to preach to people of all sorts, regardless of their faith, education, social status or station in life.....where does that restrict us from being on any forum?
Oh man those are so good. My ultimate weakness is white chocolate though. But I’ll eat chocolate hot cross buns all Easter long lolYUMMY! I like the candied eggs with marshmellow in them!

I thought the history was based on the death of Jesus and not pagans... or are what you saying is that after the message of Jesus, some Christians misused the message and turned into a message of killing pagans?
Christians and pagans killed each other. Jesus as a jew approving of human sacrifice? I'm just not a fan of the whole thing. Easter is about the Passion-life, death, and resurrection. You can't have one without the other. When I think of christian, I think of its history. I don't think jesus since I'm with Jews on the human sacrifice thing.
Jesus' apostles never celebrated Easter ( Resurrection of Spring)So y'all knew I could not get through Easter without putting it up. What are all the similarities about Easter and the Pagan Holiday? Where did we get our Petercotton tale and Easter egg celebrations and why do Christians celebrate it?
