WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?

The living God says; "Do not worship the LORD your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods" (Deuteronomy 12:4).

"Break down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Burn their ASHERAH poles and cut down their carved idols. Erase the names of their gods from those places" (Deuteronomy 12:3)!

"Asherah" is another name for "Easter" any regular dictionary can tell us this. From the Scripture above, it doesn't sound like the Almighty God cares for this type of worship and forbids His people to use any form of it in worship of Him.

*Important to note that God's people are told NOT to even mention the names of the pagan gods/goddesses (Exodus 23:13; Joshua 23:7) and "Easter" is the name of a pagan goddess.

Yet, the Roman church instilled a watered-down version of this pagan female fertility festival into the Christian Church and many mainstream Christian churches follow "her" lead insisting that this man-made holiday is condoned by the LORD.

Although many people say that it doesn't matter 'how' we worship the LORD as long as we 'do' worship Him.

I ask that person to read 2 Kings17:26

"So a message was sent to the king of Assyria: "The people whom you have resettled in the towns of Israel do not know how to worship the God of the land. He has sent lions among them to destroy them because they HAVE NOT WORSHIPED HIM CORRECTLY."

So, which is more important; to obey the voice of the living God or to follow the doctrines of men?

And remember what the Lord Yeshua/Jesus says; "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings" (Mark 7:7)!

    Yes, you are right. and anyone who says that Mary gave birth to a god, is obeying this idol, heathen worship. all holidays are of the same idol and devil way of worship.

    anyone who tries to say that our freedom in Christ gives us freedom to worship in idolatry is nothing but deceived and proves they love the things of Satan, more than of God.

    "Asherah" is the goddess wife of El-yon, the head of the Canaanite pantheon, mother of Ba'al, Dagon, many other gods including (possibly) Jehovah. She is mother of the Elohim, who made the world in Genesis 1.

    El-yon made it into the Bible by being merged with the Abrahamic godhead, but his wife Asherah had to be demonized because a female entity could not be subsumed into the Abrahamic god.

    You are absolutely right. But I have asked in this forum if people think there are consequences for brealing God's laws and it seems MANY think there is not! It's like having to teach abc's to them so they can understand deeper concepts. I pointed out consequences for fornication and adultery. Most said those are "physical" consequences! Like the consequences they are paying mean nothing! I can see now why God will have to makes us hurt SO badly that we will admit our wrongs and change our ways.

    Jesus Christ is the head of the church, not Roman Catholicism. It is always better to obey God above man.

    There is nothing wrong with remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter.

    There is freedom in Jesus Christ, not bondage to sin or legalism.

    Hi,through my research I have discovered that, before Abram began to call on El Shaddia (now the living god) his name was "Tummaz" who's mother he married and she loved bunny and eggs and at that time Eastor became a Holiday and the LORD God is now called "I am." OR "i AM WHO i AM" "YHWH." Yes these churches celebrate all kinds of different holidays because the living god is a fallen angel with authority from our creator to tempt humans and he tempted many humans with power, fame and money "if they bowed down to him and worshipped him." So criminals like Moses and David, whi were wanted, and hunted under a Kings order lived in constant fear for their crimes and this "living God" offered them protection if "they killed his enemies." The living god, the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the prince of this world that Jesus refered to in Jn 8:40 (somewhere around 40).

    Another thing you may want to consider is Jesuss name in Hebrew. The angel Gabriel told Mary "Call his name savior, because he will save his people from "sin" which refered to "the living god" Sin is the name of the moon god also. This is why the living god had his place in the Desert of Sin on top of Mt Sin"ai" For its interpreted as "Sinah" like "sarai" "Srarah" but his followers mislead man into calling it Mt. Si ny, and they have man calling Jesus "Yasha" as Joshua. For Yasha in Hebrew means "savior." Before it was corrupted.

    Remember, this living god saved so many of his Kings from their enemies and opened up the ground and swallowed many people who disobeyed his laws and dried up drinking water for years but he allowed Jesus to be whipt, humiliated, spit on? He allowed Jesuss mother to cry and Jesus brothers and sisters to watch him slowly be scoorged and then crucified, because the Jews, who did worship the living god faithfully, believed that the living god would never send such a savior such as Jesus who defiled the living gods sabboth, made up new commandments to "love your enemy" called the jews "Devil worshippers" and told the people not to go to the high preist and pay him to pray for your sins but to go by yourself and pray in secret to your father, which their god did not allow anyone but the high preist to "invoke" him. Then Jesus said "knowbody gets to the father except through him" so he therefore eliminated the whole system that the living god established that the decendants of Aaron, would be the preists. The living god never healed the blind, or cleansed leprous, as a matter of fact leprous were thrown out of the camps per order of the living god. Knowbody, lame, blind or had 4 fingers instead of 5, or having any type of handicapp were allowed to eneter the Holy of holies. The living god sent deliverers that delivered the Israelites and also the decendants of King David and all those running from the law that followed him, the Ju's (living in Ju dea when 10 tribes followed King Saul and David took over Judea and Benjamin) were follwers of David, the decendant of the Moabites (Ruth) and an Israelite(Boaz) but because the living god ordered the Israelites not to intermarrige with the Moabites the 10 tribes of Israel refused to have David as their King until Davids follwers killed all the decendants of King Saul except one that was handicapped and although most of the Israelites dispersed many of them became subject to David as their King and all the criminals that follwed David.

    So ya those following the living god are not going to obey Jesus.
