John Nelson Darby (18 November 1800 – 29 April 1882) was an Anglo-Irish Bible teacher, one of the influential figures among the original Plymouth Brethren and the founder of the Exclusive Brethren. He is considered to be the father of modern Dispensationalism and Futurism and Pre-tribulation rapture theology.
Darby has been credited with originating the pre-tribulational rapture theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world to its heavenly destiny before the judgments of the tribulation.

Eostre or Ostara is only seen in the writings by Bede - written centuries AFTER the end of paganism among the Saxons
Did you even bother to read your link? Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time,
There is no Saxon attestation of any such deity while there are plenty of attestations to Tiw, Woden, etc.
net-net, Eostre was not a Germanic deity - rather it is related to the proto-Germanic word for "East" - example Austria which in High German is Osterreich. And that was for Spring.
The rabbits etc. are German Protestant 17th century in origin - as written above - read it.
Daniel is clear that Michael is one among many Archangels ("Princes" of the angels).
Dude - there is no separate “taking away” before the second coming of Christ. There is no second coming A and second coming B
The pre-tribbers who believe that we are going to be whisked away and not have to contend for our beliefs are going to be surprised and probably will be those who stray.
Jesus told us to EXPECT tribulations but to be strong in our belief in Him and endure to the end
apologies for the “dude” prefix. That was uncalled for
Why exactly is it silly? We don't believe in it - neither do Jews, but that doesn't make it "silly" - just something we don't believe in.
The Hindu one - well some of it ends in non-existence, but some like the Jain version are that it never ends, but a continual cycle of birth and rebirth and the way out is to become an Advaita.
Deep philosophy - morose and what I don't agree with, but not "silly" - that would be Scientology
>>Cronos said: No pine cones in Catholicism.
Nah, no Pagan symbols here at the Vatican. Nope, not at the one true Christian church. Couldn’t happen. /s
Composed of a large bronze pine cone almost four meters high which once spouted water from the top, the Pigna originally stood near the Pantheon next to the Temple of Isis. It was moved to the courtyard of the Old St. Peter’s Basilica during the Middle Ages and then moved again, in 1608, to its present location.[1]

Um, what’s that pineal gland (pine cone) doing at the bottom of the Pope’s bent cross of Lucifer? (You know that’s what it is, right?)

The claim that mitres are modeled on headgear worn in babylonian dagon worship is a pure fiction that was invented in a 19th-century (ref post 125)
Wow, fish mitre AND bent cross of Lucifer with pineal gland, all in one picture.

There is something very fishy going on...

What do pine cones, peacocks, and the temple of Isis have to do with Jesus Christ??? Can you explain that one please?
They must have really big squirrels at the Vatican.
No offense taken..you are as strong in your own views as are the others. My view...he’ll come when men say...”Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Those were Christ’s words. When he comes he will “like a thief”...those were also his words. And when he comes, it will be in that day of Resurrection(for those in Christ Jesus anyway as the rest of the dead will stay dead until after 1000 years are passed) for the dead in Christ shall rise first and then we that are alive and remain shall also be taken up to meet him in the middle of the air.” So as the bible says...let us ‘comfort each other with those words.
Note I have not taken a strong view on timings just on scriptures. Christ is with us, even now on this thread..with you and with me and all of us, just loving all of us but on the subjects of of the exact timings of the end and his coming...he just smiles and the Father stays mum. We were given clues and told to be watchful and ready but that is all we have been given.

Do you know what this Pagan Dagon priest is doing? He’s sprinkling holy water with a hyssop branch. Does anyone else you know do that?
Q: I was wondering about what instrument may be used for the rite of blessing and sprinkling holy water. I have seen branches used as well as aspergillum. Is there any guidance on this? I have looked at the General Instruction of the Roman Missal but to no avail. — J.H., Coventry, England
A: There does not seem to be much in the way of precise norms regarding the making and use of an aspergillum or sprinkler.
Monsignor (now bishop) Peter Elliott in his ceremonial handbook gives the following good advice but without providing official references:
“The sprinkler may take the form of a brush or of a hollow perforated ball, perhaps containing a sponge. But the pocket size sprinkler conveniently used in pastoral situations does not seem appropriate for celebrations in a church.”
Some older guides, for the extraordinary form, also state that as well as the brush or hollow globe, “preferably, a sprig of hyssop or other shrub is used.”
What does Ellen G white and the Seventh day Adventist cult have to do with Christianity?
Not much.
After all you guys believe that Ellen is a proohetess whose 19th century writings are en par with scripture.
After all you Adventists believe that Jesus is the archangel Michael (who as per Daniel is just one of the many archangels)
The pre tribulation rapture is another 19th century false philosophy just like your Seventh day Adventist cult.
At least you got half of that right.
