Back at the time of Nimrod, Nimrod became the first world dictator and became a type and shadow of the Antichrist.
It would save me a lot of typing if you just went to Youtube and looked up the origin of Easter. It is mentioned in Scripture as Asteroth, Molech, Baal, and others. Mary worship is absolutely identical to Semiramis worship. She was called the mother of God( Tamuuz was supposed to be god(Nirod) reincarnated. Semiramis was the mother of Nimrod and she married Nimrod. Nimrod was the first "Nephilim" after the Flood.( Read the Septuagint Gen 10:8-9)From the time Christ walked the earth to about 320-325, when Constantine made church and state one, the church was pure from the time of the Apostles. At this time, they started to cut out the Jewish influence and bring in the pagan influence to the church. He pretty much made it up as he went. It pleased the pagans to worship the sun god, so the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. The Roman calendar was substituted for the Biblical calendar. The Jews have a 360 day year and 30 day months. Their calendar is based on the sun and moon. The Julian and Gregorian calendars are based on the sun, because they worship the sun. The Muslim calendar is based on the moon, because they worship the moon. The Bible names days, 1st day, 2nd day, and so on. Pagans named the days Sunday, Monday, and so on because they named the days and months after their gods.
Lev 23 lists all the Lord's days we are to Feast. They are actually prophesies of the upcoming events done by Christ. Passover was the sacrifice of the lamb of God, He was put in the grave on Unleavened Bread, and rose from His tomb on First Fruits. The counting of the Omer and Pentecost brought the giving of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. The next Feast of the Lord will be fulfilled on Trumpets. This will mark the Rapture. If you are glued to a pagan calendar, you will miss it. Ask a Jew what "the day no one knows" is? It's Trumpets, because it lasts 2 days and can only start when the new moon is seen. All other Feast days are in the middle of the month with a full moon. If we get off the Hebrew calendar, we won't be "watching" for the oracles of God to come.
If you notice, 1 Thess 5:1 says the Jews have no need that Paul's should write them about the upcoming Rapture because they are Jews and they know. They already observe the "dress rehearsals"( Moed's), times and seasons, prescribed in Scripture in Lev 23. Changing the calendar is a trick from Satan to confuse the church. Scripture says we are to be "Watching" Luk 12:35-37. Do a word search on "Watch". Many of the verses will refer to the Rapture. If you don't know when Trumpets is coming, how can you watch and have your lamp burning?
Trusting in the traditions of men rather than Scripture can ruin you. The Holy Spirit can open up the Scriptures for you. Don't rely on some men telling you what you should believe. The blind leading the blind puts both of you in a ditch. One thing you said was the most revealing thing in your post. "The Catholic Church, however, no longer found that it had to fall after Passover." Wow! That should shake you to the core! Having someone tell me "the RCC said," lets me know they haven't studied for themselves. There is so much error in the RCC, God will put them with the unbelievers if they don't "come out of her".
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
Notice God said "My People". If you have confessed Jesus as Lord, then you are His. But you can't stay in Sodom and come out clean. Lot was dragged out of Sodom physically by angels because he was related to Abraham. Lot ended up living in a cave and his daughters committed incest with him to create 2 lost races. Remember, in the Spiritual language of the Bible, children come from the parents. Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, et al, all broke off from the RCC. The true "Christian" church resembles closest to the Messianic Jew.
Resurrection Day is First Fruits. Jesus WAS First Fruits of the Dead. First Fruits is a certain day, not somewhere within a couple of weeks. Especially when you find out the day you celebrate is from the Babylonian religion. There is God's people, and Babylon, nothing else. Babylon doesn't fare well in Revelation. Do another word search for "The Assyrian". That is the Antichrist. Nimrod was a type, the Pharaoh that forgot Joesph,(Isa 52:4 Exo 1:8) was Assyrian and a type. When you read "the Assyrian", read "The Beast" and you will see the character of the coming Antichrist. The False Prophet will most likely be a pope.
Back to the original reason for posting here,...Can you not see how this guy could lead hundreds of millions astray and people would follow a counterfeit? Catholics MUST start to look to Scripture for their authority and question the RCC. Because some "saint" said something in the 1500's doesn't mean squat. Millions of people are following men today destroying the church with Lesbian pastors, pedophiles, gay marriage, abortion, and every kind of sin. The RCC is certainly not immune. The Bible is God breathed and is our only authority. I don't need a man to tell me there is no hell, or gays can get married in the church, or whatever the meme is for today. God never changes. If there is a fiery pit for angels that had to be expanded for sinners, then there is a hell to be thrown into. If sodomy was an abomination in Genesis and Leviticus 18:22-30, then the pope cannot soften the look of it because it's disgusting to God. One cannot say that God will accept sodomy because we don't want to be offensive to certain people. We need to have grace with people but in the end, Jesus came with grace and truth. Eventually, we all need the truth. Purposeful rebellion is sin and grace won't cover that.
Everything I've said here is truth, straight from Scripture. It is said in love, but everyone that reads it needs to follow up with self examination to see if they are truly in the faith. If you are satisfied, then so be it. I can only bring information. Following traditions of men is NOT following God.
Your usage of youtube is bad research -- There is no linkage between Ishtar and the celebration of Pascha/Pasqua/Passover when Christ rose from the dead
Unless you are saying that Christ is a copy of Tammuz, or is that what you are saying? Btw, that's also false
