The Easter Bunny and other secular/pagan Easter practices
Submitted by Loutzenhiser on Mon, 2008-09-15 14:53.
Just who is this Easter Bunny? Where did he come from? How did he get into Christ's resurrection? Should Christian's participate? What other secular/pagan Easter practices are in Christ's Resurrection? For discussions on the Resurrection of Christ then please use the Passover thread.
discernment!

The Catholic Church 'Christianizes' pagan practices . . . whenever it can . . . always has . . . and alway will . . . same that GOD HIMSELF does.
Mike says,
The real problem is when pagan people get "christianized".

4. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

May we have more pastors and leaders praying as Paul did in ephesians 1:16-17.
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Then we will be able as Paul did, rebuke an evil spirit that panders to the flesh like that lovely damsel tried to in Acts 16:16-18
"Hopfully" as the easter celebration nears, we can use the "easter bunny" to testify of our new Life in Christ, (for those who have it!)
