Why does the Bible not mention or teach the following, yet in all mainstream religions, pastors, preachers, and priest teach:

Christmas
Easter
Halloween
Transubstantion
Rapture
Trinity
Hell-Fire
Immortality of the soul
Infant baptism
Predestination
Omni-presence of God.
Reincarnation
God causes the death of our loved ones because he needs angels in heaven.

Has the "World Empire of False Rligion" trapped you regarding the these FALSE teachings?

None of the above is either mentioned or remotely taught in the Holy Bible. Yet pastors, preachers, and priest teach these religious lies. WHY? :shrug:
Why is such blasphemy taught in the religious sector of Satn's World?

While responding, take care not to TWIST the scriptures to your own destruction, so as to justify practicing, and accepting these beliefs that are not based on what the Bible really teaches.-2Peter 3:16:no:

Of course reincarnation and Halloween aren't mentioned in the bible because they have no origin in abrahamic mythology. Reincarnation is a concept founded in eastern Dharmic religions. And Halloween originates from the Celtic celebration of Samhain. The Bible doesn't encompass the entire history of the entire globe, so it's silly to dismiss or condemn something for not being in the Bible.

What! Easter? Come on. I know there is something in that book somewhere about Jesus being resurrected with his pet bunny rabbit that laid chocolate eggs to feed the poor....

No?

:D

:areyoucraWho came up with the bunny idea anyway? I've always thought that was kinda strange...

Which tradition came first? The association with the resurrection, or the chocolate egg laying bunny?

The easter bunny has its origins in a Norse story about the Goddess of spring, Oestar, resurrecting a rabbit. It was so confused, it laid an egg.

The Bolded words I know are spoken of in the Bible.

The Italicized words are not universally taught(or not taught at all in any church)

The Underlined segment I have never heard in my life.

The word Hell-Fire isn't in the Bible, as far as I know, but I do know that it does speak of a "Lake of Fire" in which sinners are cast into.

The Trinity I think is a Roman creation, speaking of three aspects of the divine that are spoken of in the Bible. Father(God himself) Son(Jesus) and Holy Spirit, which is spoken of in the Bible a couple of times. Jesus also says that there is no forgiveness for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. So it kinda is in the Bible, but I think that they were grouped together by the Romans.

The LDs church doesn't teach any of these. We celebrate the Birth of Christ on Dec 25 but we believe it actually happened on April 6th. We also celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We also believe in the immortality of the soul. (At least I do! :) ) You're right, though, that we don't teach most of the things on the list. I wonder where the newbie who started the thread went. Maybe he's just stopping by every religion forum on the web to leave his message. Kind of strikes me as a chicken's way out. :D

Oh yeah. I guess I didn't notice the immortality of the soul in the list. :D Oops.

If i may just add, Mark 7:7-9 states this


"Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
'For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition'

I must have the wrong search criteria.

It does appear in the old KJV.

Acts 12:4
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

How'd you arrive at that date?
