Furthermore, you seem to have no real clue about the canonized saints. Those aren’t the sole list if saints and that is and has never been claimed. On the contrary the canonized ones are those who are held to be the ones we know of who are exemplars.
Paul’s discussion on predestination. God has hardened the Jews to bring in the full number of elect gentiles, which in turns makes the Jews jealous. The result of this is that the full number of elect Jews come to Christ. The full number of Jews + the full number of Gentiles = the entire Israel of God. Hence, all of Israel shall be saved saved.
What Saint Paul teaches in Romans 11 is that a “remnant” of Israel has passed into the New Covenant, therefore, God has not cast them off. The Apostle offers himself as an example of such a one. Those of the nation of Israel who rejected Jesus are compared to the ancient Israelites who worshipped Baal, while the Christian Jews are compared to the “seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.” Saint Paul never claims that the election of the Jews is permanent in the sense that they remain the chosen people even if they fail to accept Christ. What he did teach is that (1) they were the chosen nation in the Old Testament, (2) some of them — a “remnant” — have passed into the Church of the New Testament, and are therefore not cast off, and (3), the nation, as a whole, will also return to serving God in the true religion when they are corporately “ingrafted” back into it by accepting Christ.
If you are going to quote EGW and SDA’s, you should at least get it right.
You mean the writings of Ellen your proohetess?
The writings that you Adventists consider on par with the Biblical books?
I know that word Easter was implanted by some illiterate deceiving scribe .. It was never used by Peter/Paul let alone Christ Himself ... Christ was the world's Passover ... you know where the death angle passes over... Christ was the only perfect sacrifice for all time ... Easter is a pagan holiday where fertility rites were high drama .. Has not one thing to do with Christ or Christianity.
At least I have studied enough to show myself approved to know who the 'anti-Christ' literally is, and who shows up first claiming to be our Lord and Savior... Christ said let no 'man' deceive you... Mass deception is the first tribulation and all but the elect are said to bend a knee to the devil in all his shinning ... You do not have the credentials to judge my 'worship' , I mean seriously, your church worships in a temple dedicated to the Serpent ...
Easter is the English word.
The name is Pascha/pasqua in every other language. Meaning Passover.
Jesus is/was the Passover lamb.
You may celebrate your pagan festivals m but we in orthodoxy celebrate Pascha, the Christian Passover.
Mass deception is what we see among those who follow the 29th century pre tribulation rapture philosophy.
The writings that you Adventists consider on par with the Biblical books?
If you ACTUALLY did know anything about Ellen White, you would know that your statement is ridiculous. Remember a few months ago when I proved that you were a liar by what you knowingly and willfully left out of one of her statements? You flat out lied to everyone that read it.
I stand by my statement that the Catholic church and her stooges will say ANYTHING to divert the true claim that she is the Antichrist power. That would be you, Cronos.
Oh that’s right blame the English ... What word does your version use? Why call it Easter, and play fertility rites at church ... rolling bunny eggs?
The ‘rapture’ is one of many lines of deception .. to drag Christians from Christ .. Again why does Rome practice its religion in a Temple dedicated to the Serpent ??? Credibility gone.
Bte, that shows you have never read any history books or even the Bible, right?
Pascha is—and has always been—a Christian holiday. The only thing about the holiday that is verifiably of ancient pagan origin is the holiday’s name in English, but even the name doesn’t come from Ishtar.
Ishtar’s name is not, in fact, pronounced “Easter.” It is pronounced exactly how it is spelled: /ˈɪʃtɑːr/. The name Ishtar is a transliteration of the name 𒀭𒈹 (iš-tar) in ancient cuneiform.
Easter has never been a celebration of Ishtar. Our earliest evidence for the celebration of Easter as a holiday distinct from the Jewish holiday of Passover comes from Christian texts written in around the middle of the second century AD, which all refer to Easter as a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.
Of course, these early Christian sources weren’t written in English, so they don’t call the holiday “Easter”; instead, the holiday was originally known in Greek as Πάσχα (Páscha) and in Latin as Pascha. The name Pascha is derived from the Aramaic word פַּסְחָא (Pasḥā), meaning “Passover.”
For the first five hundred years or so of Christian history, the holiday of Easter was only known by the name Pascha. Even today, the holiday is known by some variant of the name Pascha in nearly every language. The word for “Easter” in every single Romance language, in every single Celtic language, and in most Germanic languages is some form of Pascha. English and German are somewhat aberrations in this regard, since the word for Easter in English is Easter and the word in German is Ostern.
Early Christians clearly saw Pascha as a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. The early Christian bishop Meliton of Sardis, who died sometime around 180 AD, wrote a homily in Greek titled “On the Pascha” in which he discusses the Pascha as a celebration of Jesus’s resurrection. We have no record of anyone in ancient times having ever associated the Pascha with Ishtar.
Rolling eggs and bunnies are German Protestant traditions started in the 1600s.
The earliest known reference to the Easter bunny comes from the treatise De Ovis Paschalibus, written by the German physician and botanist Georg Franck von Franckenau (lived 1643 – 1704) and published in 1682. In this treatise, von Franckenau briefly mentions the “Osterhase,” or “Easter Hare,” who, according to German folklore, was said to hide Easter eggs for children to find.
Furthermore, there were many other animals that were said to bring eggs to children around Eastertime during the Early Modern Period, including and Easter Fox and an Easter Stork. It has only been over the course of the past two centuries that the animal that brings eggs to children on Easter has become standardized as a rabbit.
Btw, there ain’t no temple in Rome dedicated to the serpent. You must be thinking of your own cult that worships the serpent, right?
So by the middle of the second century AD the scribes or maybe ‘holy fathers’ and self appointed saints implanted Easter in place of Passover... King James version did not come about until 1611... Long Long Long after the ‘holy fathers’ gave the world the New Testament...
Now what exactly was the Ishtar practice? ‘Quick like a bunny’? Was it NOT a celebration of fertility rites? What do Christians practice on Easter, rolling bunny eggs ...
The Wine of Babylon and the Catholic Church. It could not be more clear. Pure Paganism to this day.

might want to do some research yourself...
For some reason the video doesn’t begin at 0, so just click to the beginning. Worth every second.
Firstly m it’s a hall, not a temple
Secondly, it’s a fish eye lens photo. Look at the photo taken with a normal lens.
Let’s see pictures of your temple taken with a fish eye lens.
Nope,
Our earliest evidence for the celebration of Easter as a holiday distinct from the Jewish holiday of Passover comes from Christian texts written in around the middle of the second century AD, which all refer to Pascha as a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.
Of course, these early Christian sources weren’t written in English, so they don’t call the holiday “Easter”; instead, the holiday was originally known in Greek as Πάσχα (Páscha) and in Latin as Pascha. The name Pascha is derived from the Aramaic word פַּסְחָא (Pasḥā), meaning “Passover.”
And the rolling bunny eggs are a German Protestant tradition.
Why do you do that?
Yeah, Cronos, what’s up with the snakes? And while we are at it, why are so many Catholic churches built on the ruins of Pagan temples?
Why in the name of everything pure and good in this world would the Catholics build such a creepy, satanic looking church? Please answer that for us, Cronos.
Don't forget at the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus was with Moses and Elijah in human bodies that were recognized by Peter, James and John (see Matthew 17:1-13). This was prior to the crucifixion and resurrection which meant Moses and Elijah were given visible bodies with which to appear with Jesus when nobody else was or yet has a glorified body except for Jesus. Was this only a temporary condition for the benefit of the disciples to prove the Deity and purpose of Christ or do they still have these bodies for the purpose of being the two witnesses at the Tribulation? We don't know. But you're right that the Jews would identify both - and as far as I know, no one has a photograph of either.
