Today was what they call Easter. One of the things you learn in Reality 101 is that the putatively Christian holidays are all based on a strange brew of the Gospel and the pagan calendar that preceded it in Europe.Christ is the sacrificial lamb ordained from the foundation of the world to be slain in atonement for our sins; Easter is a word closely akin to Ishtar and other pagan deities, with un-Scriptural baggage galore to prove it. Somehow the Babylonian fertility cult gave birth to this Easter bunny thing that is the "Easter" equivalent of the equally obnoxious Santa Claus plug-in.
It's a sorry mess and no doubt quite far off from the timing of Christ's sacrifice in relation to the seasons of the year -- but it's what goes on, and just as I enjoyed playing great music by Bach and others for the congregation this morning in celebration of our release from sin at Calvary, I've been turning the tables on the syncretists by wishing folks a happy Resurrection Day.
The following came in today's email with many other riches, but it was the only one dealing with the occasion at hand. The subject line was " Easter VS Liberty????" which is three profound little words. Everything we do outside of the Holy Spirit IS SLAVERY..... and contrary to how your preacher and Sunday School teacher do it, I am NOT talking about only the spiritual, doctrinal, the personal or the soteriological.
EASTER is a quite decent archetype of outwardly attractive and "enjoyable" nonsense, which is always addictive, aka enslaving. LIBERTY is virtually synonymous with the Bible message and everything we do in its service. Liberals are always trying to assert that liberty can exist in a spiritual vacuum or an ambience stuffed full of Islam, Judaism, Cabala,Hinduism,Rastafarianism et al., but I think they might be mistaking it for license or "freedom".
I would love to share many more of today's hoard with you but that will have to wait for when I have a computer that really really works -- someday. The sender of this item didn't happen to give full, clear credit for it, and there are times when I give up trying to do people's homework for them, so here it is raw as received. Chuck Baldwin may have originated it, but if so I wasn't able to prove so via ,Google To boot, the piece lost all formatting in the transfer. Who out there is going to lead me to a spiffy 2010s-era computer that can handle all the very basic things I want to do with it?
May each one of you enjoy a truly blessed Resurrection-tide. Christ is risen!
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
For thousands of years GOD’s people have been instructed to celebrate LIBERTY in very specific and direct terms. GOD wants HIS people to be FREE. So why is it that today most Christians know nothing of real liberty and embrace the yoke of tyrannical government edicts, rejecting LIBERTY and denying the sovereignty of GOD? I suggest to you that our own slavery is found in our form of traditions and worship. Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Mark 7:12-14 (in Context) Mark 7 (Whole Chapter)
The beginning of the Biblical practice of celebrating LIBERTY begins here. Exodus 12 when after 400 years of bondage to a brutal dictatorship, the obedient Hebrew children were made free. To this day, the instruction in GOD’s Word still remains to celebrate LIBERTY for 7 full days in grateful worship. This practice of embracing and celebrating LIBERTY has always been a thorn in the side of dictators, a threat to the establishment. Thru the ages, illegitimate governments have dealt punishments and manipulations to stop this practice of remembrance to our obligations toward liberty. The practice of Passover is the celebration of LIBERTY. Take special note that it is the obedient of GOD who are passed over when trouble comes and thru the very calamity around them are set free. This year on the Biblical calendar, the week long celebration of liberty runs from April 19 – 25.
Jesus came to be the Passover lamb of all times. John 1:29 , John 1:36 , Revelation 7:17 , Revelation 15:3 He came to demonstrate ultimate obedience to the FATHER. It is His blood that makes us forever free if we accept His gift of sacrificial obedience and follow in His ways. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8,
THE MEANING OF PASSOVER
The celebration of LIBERTY includes specific elements of a Passover dinner Passover Seder Elements - Adventist Messianic Fellowship . These are not only remembrance of things past and celebration of LIBERTY offered in the present but also anticipation of things to come. Revelation 19:9
How is it we were hoodwinked out of such an invaluable and beautiful gift? Here is the tyrannical government edict; From the Letter of the Emperor to all those not present at the Council. (Found in Eusebius, Vita Const., Lib. iii., 18-20.) http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/const1-easter.html

WARNING: Jeremiah 7:17-19
WARNING: Jeremiah 44 (Whole Chapter) Do you see familiar traditions embraced by the modern church? Is it any wonder that our children see a future of slavery to foreign masters and elitists banksters? WE HAVE LONG BEEN WARNED!

Will you embrace obedience to GOD and HIS liberty or embrace the practice of pagans and the enslavement that follows?
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Revelation 19:16 (King James Version) 16And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
"... I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18
