DID I CONDEMN OTHERS?

I believe you did. You accused Martin and every other Christian on this thread of "paying homage to Ishtar". I don't think that was either justified or appropriate.

I DESERVED NONE OF THAT. NONE OF IT. AND THEN A BUNCH OF NAME CALLING BY SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS AS WELL! OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR

That doesn't matter. A Christian attitude would be to turn the other cheek, would it not? From my point of view you certainly have not shown that attitude on this thread.

My comment “You need to get saved” was totally justified.

From my point of view it certainly wasn't.

Saved people would not manipulate someone’s words and demonize people like a no-good leftist.

Look in the mirror, my FRiend. From my point of view that is exactly what you did to every other Christian on this thread. By telling someone you don't know anything about that they need to be saved, you are in effect demonizing them. Are you not?

I have said NOTHING here you can use to justify your statement.

I think you need to go back and read the thread over and then maybe you'll see yourself as the rest of us have seen you.

This thread was not about "Easter" it was about the Church of England. Because another CHRISTIAN just happened to use the word "Easter" you went off on a rant about that as if everyone who uses the word is bowing before Satan.

Well I use it. As does nearly every English speaking Christian. I frankly don't care what the origin of the word is. Even if the word had pagan roots, the word has been effectively sanctified by God on the basis that the word no longer has any pagan meaning for Christians and it is the term commonly used for the celebration of our Lord's crucifixion and resurrection. Now if you don't want to celebrate that event, then don't.

I pray you have a Glorious Easter my Friend.

He is Risen indeed.

Well said.

Shortly before Easter every year these people who have a hang up about Easter (and usually other Holy Days) venture forth and try to ruin it for everyone else.

I find it best to just make my point with them and leave. Perhaps a seed is planted. Arguing accomplishes nothing with such folks (Matthew 7:5-7) and only unprofitably stirs my own passions. I have very little patience with puritans.

Please forgive me if I stirred anyone else.

And may all have a glorious Good Friday and Easter.

Although it is still to early, let me say: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life.

You accused Martin and every other Christian on this thread of "paying homage to Ishtar".

I'm sorry "my friend", that's nonsense. That was my first comment on THE STORY. I was raising awareness about this issue. Most people don't even KNOW that every time they say "Easter" it's just a corrupted "Ish Tar". What we have witnessed on this thread is a wholly unjustified lynching.

You still haven't answered my question. Am I wrong? Have men not taken Jesus resurrection and called it after an abomination?

Or would you just say that it doesn't bother you; it's no big deal to you?
