There it is a river through Egypt, called denial...
It’s also full of snakes.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no evidence that the ancient Mesopotamians ever associated Ishtar with rabbits in any way.
It is a German Protestant tradition with its origins in the late 1600s.
the Easter bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and transported their tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Their children made nests in which this creature could lay its colored eggs. Eventually, the custom spread across the U.S. and the fabled rabbit’s Easter morning deliveries expanded to include chocolate and other types of candy and gifts, while decorated baskets replaced nests. Additionally, children often left out carrots for the bunny in case he got hungry from all his hopping.
Nah, that’s Ellen your proohetess, who was Satanic and claimed Jesus was the angel Michael, which is your Adventist belief.
Yeah, those wayward protesting Germans .. party animals.. Why on God’s green earth would Catholics take up a German ‘protestant’ tradition?
Yeah, the 'humans' performed the fertility rites ... no need to have bunnies..

And those fertility rites were associated with Istara.
Pascha is the Christian Passover.
But if you and yours conduct your Istara fertility Britain your non Christian cult, ok, you, justma can keep doing that, ok?

What???
No more projecting ... as if Catholics do not celebrate quick like a bunny... remember, I am the one that said Easter was NEVER used by Peter/Paul nor Christ Himself ... I do not blame 'fish eyes' for reality of images ... It really is NOT a Christian act to point fingers of accusation when one actually participates in others traditions but carry on...
you know, like your non Christian beliefs give you a distorted view of reality
Why do Catholics have a snake temple?
Funny, from the onion.
However if you read your Adventist beliefs from your proohetess, Ellen, its funnier and really your beliefs.
“In 1844 [Christ] entered the second and last phase of His atoning ministry. It is a work of investigative judgement which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgement vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. It declares that those who have remained loyal to God shall receive the kingdom” (SDA’s Believe , p. 312
Don’t you believe in The events of 1844?
Adventist belief is that Jesus entered into the second compartment of the heavenly sanctuary for the first time on October 22, 1844, and began an investigative judgment. You believe that this judgment is the fulfillment of the second phase of Christ’s atoning work.
Nah, you’re mistaking it with you Adventists who believe that Jesus is the archangel Michael (who as per Daniel is one among many archangels, princes of angelic hosts)
So you will stop projectin? Good.
Catholics celebrate Pascha.
If your non Christian cult worships Istara, that’s your, Justmythoughts, problem.
The fact that you have a distorted view of christendom, of reality and of history, is your problem.
Your fish neglected to show both eyes of the serpent. Now who is playing games with reality?
Wrong! Don't blame it on "Protestants" German or otherwise! You've been corrected on this before Cronos, it wasn't Ishtar but Eostre or Ostara and it was described by 8th century Bede as an Anglo-Saxon pagan observance LONG before there was a Reformation. The Catholic church DID replace it with the observance of Christ's resurrection - and plenty of Catholic churches today have Easter bunnies and Easter Egg Hunts.
By way of linguistic reconstruction, the matter of a goddess called *Austrō(n) in the Proto-Germanic language has been examined in detail since the foundation of Germanic philology in the 19th century by scholar Jacob Grimm and others. As the Germanic languages descend from Proto-Indo-European (PIE), historical linguists have traced the name to a Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn *H₂ewsṓs, from which descends the Common Germanic divinity at the origin of Ēostre and Ôstara. Additionally, scholars have linked the goddess's name to a variety of Germanic personal names, a series of location names (toponyms) in England, and, discovered in 1958, over 150 inscriptions from the 2nd century CE referring to the matronae Austriahenae.
Theories connecting Ēostre with records of Germanic Easter customs, including hares and eggs, have been proposed. Particularly prior to the discovery of the matronae Austriahenae and further developments in Indo-European studies, debate has occurred among some scholars about whether or not the goddess was an invention of Bede. Ēostre and Ostara are sometimes referenced in modern popular culture and are venerated in some forms of Germanic neopaganism.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%92ostre
But tell me why are you hijacking this thread about the Antichrist to argue about Easter???
People today are no different since the beginning..easily deceived ..
So who do you say Jesus foretold is THE Antichrist? Does this person exist today?
