Why is Easter a different DATE every year

Why is Easter a different DATE every year

Why is Easter a different DATE every year? it seems very confusing. Passover is one date and Christian tradition is another date for Easter every year. Even the Western and Eastern Christian traditional dates for Easter are also different dates every year.  How do they work it out?

Where does the Word Easter come from? Does it have Pagan or Christian origins?

Where does the Word Easter come from? Does it have Pagan or Christian origins?

Where does the Word Easter come from? Does it have Pagan or Christian origins? There is a lot of controversy over where the name of Easter came from. There is a myth that it came from the goddess of the dawn and Spring, Eostre. Is this true.... is Easter pagan? Lets get find out! Who is Eostre? Apparently she is a goddess of pagan origin. She is the goddess of dawn and worshipped at the start of spring, the equinox. The turning of winter to spring for the northing hemisphere. This time of the year can be just a celebration of coming harvest. Now you will see details from various authors on the subject such as Alexander Hislop and Ralph Woodrow. They have written about the connection of Eostre and Easter and you find this everywhere on the internet as proof. But where did they get their information.

Who put these PAGAN EGGS in your EASTER celebration? where did they come from? Why are they now a part of your Easter each year? They seem to be a pagan symbol and now they are a Christian symbol for rolling of the tomb and new life in Christ. How did we get here?

Why does God say that he hates Hot Cross Buns and Cakes of Raisins in the Bible

Why does God say that he hates Hot Cross Buns and Cakes of Raisins in the Bible

Are Hot Cross Buns and Cakes of Raisins in the Bible? Why does it seem that God hates these fruity spicy buns? They shouldn't be evil, they are just cakes and buns. In the bible in Hosea 1:3 it clearly states that God thinks that the people of Israel are going after and woshiping other gods and Cakes with Raisins. What is he suggesting here, ITS JUST A CAKE!

Has False Prophesy Lost The Plot At Capitol Hill In Robin Bullock?

Has False Prophesy Lost The Plot At Capitol Hill In Robin Bullock?

Has False Prophesy Lost The Plot At Capitol Hill In Robin Bullock? On January 6th 2020 Capitol Hill was stormed. A lot of the protestors claimed to be Christians and were led by a false prophecy. One of the leaders of this false prophecy was Robin Bullock. He was there, in the midst of the protests. He didn't storm the Capitol, however he would say that his prayers did. Did God move with him on Jan6, I look at this moment in time through the eyes of Robin Bullock and find out if this is a replaying of Moses parting the Red Sea. Was this Robin Bullock's Red Sea Moment. Was Robin Bullock able to pray and part the Sea of the Red Republican Wave?

Kenneth Copeland and Word of Faith- Would you Follow?

Kenneth Copeland and Word of Faith- Would you Follow?

What is word of faith ministries and why it is dangerous. Lets do this through the eyes of King of Word of faith, Kenneth Copeland.
Would you follow his wind of faith? did I say wind

Word of Faith, this is something that sounds good, sounds Biblical. Kenneth Copeland teaches that we, like God, have the ability to speak reality into existence when we speak in faith. God can say let there be light....so why can't we?


Thus faith becomes a force that allows us to speak prosperity into our lives.
Kenneth and other Word of Faith preachers even go further saying that
'it's only sin that keeps us trapped in poverty or anything less than abundant wealth'.
However when you read the bible..... and I'm pretty sure Kenneth has the same one in his hands which says God will be with us even in our darkest and poorest times
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you (God) are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Deuteronomy 31:6,8 Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

God doesn't talk about material wealth....hes talking about eternal wealth that can't rot, even in the darkest place you could find yourself in.

So why is the DATE of Easter so confusing every year?

So why is the DATE of Easter so confusing every year?

Why is Easter on a different date each year. back in the first couple of centuries this was building up to be an issue that was causing frustration. It should be an easy one, Jewish tradition has the Passover happen just before Christs death on the cross. so by this it should tie in with this and be the same date every year. In the Bible the Passover is part of the backdrop of the Crucifixion of Jesus, so why is it different every year and seemingly nothing to do with the Passover?

The Passover is at least 15% of the time at least a month apart.
But shouldn't it be close? Both Easter in the Christian Tradition and Passover in the Jewish Tradition are both connected to the lunar phase. The Jewish calendar states that the Passover is on the 15 Nisan or the 15th day in the month of the Jewish month of Nisan. So again this should be the same time every year.

The Battle on Mount Carmel from the Bible, did it really Happen

The Battle on Mount Carmel from the Bible, did it really Happen

I love this story, it has some of the funniest lines in the bible. Its also a story of the underdog battling a bully and winning. However there is an underlying element that I think, yeah this is a great story, but did it happen. Did Elijah really do this or did he have some trickery/ some slight of hand.

there are 3 sides to this coin. I know what your saying how can a coin have 3 sides. That might seem confusing, but in essence this 3 sided coin is the main problem.

so let's go over some back story and then it will be easier to explain if it even happened

The first side of the coin and leading bullys are King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. King Ahab is one of the Kings of Israel. We have King David and his son King Solomon. After King Solomon died it got very game of thrones and the people were divided between the Kingdom of the North and the Kingdom of the South. King Ahab was the 7th in line of the North and has the reputation of being one of the most evil. This reputation is helped along by his Queen, Jezebel who even to this day her name is used as a derogatory term. Queen Jezebel wanted there to be just one side of the coin with Baal worship, so is having the Priests of the God of Israel put to death

Enter the second side of the coin and the underdog, Elijah. Elijah is a prophet and follower of God and his ways. 3 years previous he declared to King Ahab that there was going to be a drought because of his worshipping other gods and since then it has only been drought. King Ahab is now taking his live stock for the whole kingdom searching for a patch of ground that could feed them. I would even say that the drought is so severe that the King himself is doing this work and not just leaving it to his servants. Apart from war not much gets a King off his royal throne, but here he is doing the grunt work to save his Kingdom.

Which brings us to the 3rd side of the coin. There are the people that follow God and follow other gods like Baal or Ba al at the same time. King Ahab was one of those people. He should have been just worshipping God but he also let the worship of Baal happen as well.

Is Cremation Sinful? what does the Bible say about it?

Is Cremation Sinful? what does the Bible say about it?

In the bible it states that normal burial is mention 200 times and cremation is mentioned, well, not so many. Of those cremated in the bible, a lot of them are not done in a good way. Fire in the Bible is often depicted as Gods Wrath and Judgement. But what about cremation through fire, does the bible say that cremation is a sin?
