I thought "easter" was popery .

Mark,

Oh well... some people strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! Go figure... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" />

Wes

Now that's an appetite

Thanks Wes very good site,I know some people who could benefit and will send along.

And judging your brothers as to holidays is sin.

Say Mark have you given up that antinomian/hyper-Calvinism yet? No? Perhaps then you should look to that two by four planted in your own oculars?

Wes

Thank you for that link, it was a real blessing. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />

Fact is Prestor John Easter IS POPERY nomatter what you or anyone one else thinks. Do some reading on the subject (Rev18:4)

Btw,I,d rather the 2x4 in mine than the forest in yours <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Mark

So I guess by your using Rev 18:4, I can conclude that you believe that those who celebrate Easter, are going to recieve plagues.

Seriously, his hatred of the RCC has blinded him to the truth of God and the freedom we have in Christ; e.g., giving special attention to the glory of Christ's resurrection and the redemption that it secured once for all for those who have been given faith. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/joy.gif" alt="" />

Well said Pilgrim! Well at least what I could make out from this arboreal growth effecting my vision. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

So, if I were to celebrate Easter Sunday by worshipping at church, reflecting on the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, enjoying time with friends and family, eating some ham and turkey and chocolate bunnies, I'm really giving in to Popery?

If you celebrate, celebrate to God's glory! If you celebrate not, celebrate not to God's glory!

I seriously doubt that anyone who posts here regularly celebrates Easter to honor either the Pope or the goddess Ishtar.

Wow, Mark! I never knew it was "popery" to celebrate such a monumentous thing as the death and resurrection of my Savior. For all these years I have been wallowing in sin, setting aside time on a particular day to think specifically on Jesus' atoning substitutionary work on the cross.
Oops! My sin is not in celebrating it, but I'm celebrating on the wrong day. You see, I don't know the exact day when Jesus was crucified or ressurected. So I choose the one most commonly accepted, because it would be kind of wierd to celebrate it on, say, June 18th.
Wrong again! I'm wrong for celebrating it because Pagans used to celebrate some god(dess) around this time, and the church, not wanting to cause a big riot, celebrated Easter (that pagan holiday) around the same time. I don't know if you are terribly familiar with it Mark, but we here in the States celebrate July 4th every year. Pagans and Christians, alike. Am I sinning because I refuse not to recognize this holiday? Because I have a barbecue every year on that day, I am guilty of "popery"?
Of course, wrong AGAIN! My fault is that I celebrate, though God has not commanded such celebration! God has not commanded us to breathe in and out, yet we continue (most of us) to do so. Therefore we are all wallowing in sin, and worse, we thank God that we may continue to do so! We are all as unconverted heathens! Really, Mark, how can we keep our celebration in? The praise and adoration of a God who could concieve of such a plan should burst from our lips involuntarily! "39And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." 40He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." Luke 19:39-40

Mark, to celebrate Easter cannot be construed as "popery" no matter how much you want it to.
