Thank you for commenting; I give God the glory for reminding me about rabbits having nothing to do with Easter but rather celebrating the anticipation of debauch uppermost in every heathen's mind (such as it is) at this time of year. Why they can't think of anything else? The neo-pagans are even worse! "Oh," they tell me, "Easter is
our pagan goddess.." and
0 guesses are required to work out how they commemorate whatever she is supposed to have done which seems to involve laying eggs. I point them straight away to God's Word:
Acts 12 . KJV . look up
1-3b Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also..
Herod kicks off with a solid murder splurge. Whatever he thought he was worshipping it was not God because God does not advocate murdering Christians. When freaks like Herod start their blood orgy and when it's directed against Christians, God arranges a respite.
4b-5a ..and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison.
Satan is every goddess. Goddesses who preen in the black light of murder do not back off on their special day. But here we see a respite, just for Easter. That would not happen if Easter had been the goddess. So now we know Easter is not a goddess. There is also positive evidence. Obsessing over gods and goddesses and orgies and murder was not enough for Herod, he had to start making speeches. He refused to acknowledge God. Big mistake. God turned him into worms.
21 Upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Negative evidence:
Herod gets started on a murder binge but just as he's about to ramp things up Easter arrives. The murders stop and God ministers to those He loves as appropriate. This shows that God is a Spirit of Love. After Easter, whatever demon Herod worships get going again with some wholesale murders
verse 19 which would not happen if Easter was itself those demons masquerading as a goddess who lays eggs and obsesses over rabbits. If that were the case the murders would increase.
Positive evidence:
Herod flips completely, spouts off & accepts adulation as a god and
bingo! it's worms central. God has intervened twice. First during Easter to bring respite for Christians and to thwart Herod's orgy compulsion (well documented elsewhere) and second when Herod elevates himself, becoming worms as a result of God's intervention.
In this way we know that Easter is not a goddess and that pagans, heathens, savages and temple freaks across the board are NOT celebrating Easter in their rituals but degenerating into little more than worms themselves.
