It’s entirely possible there’s no basis for claiming a Babylonian source for Roman Christianity.

We’ve gone through this before.

Pascha is the Italian, French, Spanish word for Easter. It doesn’t have to do with Astarte, Isis, etc.

It has to do with Passover and the events leading up to and including Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

By the way, isn’t there a book of ROMANS in the bible? They were on 7 hills, then, just as now. What in the world was Paul thinking....building up the whore of Babylon? /sarc

The Roman church Paul wrote to in no way resembles the Roman Catholic Church of today.

You haven't seen the posts from caww of how the Babylonian pagan symbols have been incorporated into the Catholic Church? You haven't seen where I posted the Catholic Churches own admission that in fact they have incorporated paganism?

Today's celebration more resembles the practices God condemned in Leviticus. The rituals of Simiramis and the 40 day fast for tamuz. The sunrise service to the sun.

No, that really isn't possible.

Pascha is the Italian, French, Spanish word for Easter. It doesn’t have to do with Astarte, Isis, etc.

It certainly has nothing to do with Passover, for which it is named. Sit in at a Messianic seder sometime and note how foreign it feels.

And just because it may be called pascha, that does not change one bit the way it is celebrated, which as Cynical Bear has stated, derives from Paganism, without a doubt.

It has to do with Passover and the events leading up to and including Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

No, PASSOVER and FIRST FRUITS has to do with all of that. As I said, attend a Messianic seder some time, and be astonished.

All the better to 'come out of her my people'...
