The Resurrection
What does a bunny and colored eggs have to do with the Resurrection? You need to decide for yourself. I have no power or authority to judge or condemn anyone, so I will not. I only seek to share the truth as it is written.
What does scripture say?
1 Corinthians 15:3-8King James Version (KJV)3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time
Colossians 2:12 King James Version (KJV)12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Romans 6:4 King James Version (KJV)4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Luke 24:1-12, 1 Peter 1:3, Romans 1:4, Matthew 28:1-20, Luke 24:36-39…. these are just a few more scriptures that tell us about the death, burial and resurrection, of our Lord and Savior, none of which speaks of a bunny, or colored eggs.
The world celebrates Easter with the Easter bunny, and colorful eggs, and teaches that this tradition of celebration is celebrating the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it’s time we ask ourselves a few questions, is it possible that we should celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ by keeping the focus on Him and Him alone? Can we reverence the Lord Jesus for all that He is and all He has done on the cross for all of us? What significance does a bunny and colored eggs play when it comes to the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? There is nothing wrong with enjoying springtime, bunnies, eggs, nature, especially since God created seasons, bunnies, nature etc. for us to enjoy, the problem is not with eggs or bunnies, the problem is what the eggs and bunnies are being used to represent, and the day they chose to insert these representations, activities and symbols, we should not try to mix or replace the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus with pagan practices, and things that pull our focus away from God, we’re getting away from the worship of our Lord. We must worship God the way He has instructed us to worship Him, God has said in His word, that we must worship Him in spirit and in truth, we must look in the word of God to see the truth, “Easter bunny”, “Easter eggs” THIS IS VAIN WORSHIP! This has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, this is strange worship of false gods, and practices, in doing these things and taking the focus off of Jesus Christ you’re worshipping Tammuz, Nimrod, Semiramis/Ishtar, I have not found anywhere in the bible where a colored egg has anything to do with our Lord and Savior, but in vain worship and pagan practice, the colored eggs symbolize birth/ rebirth. I have not found in the bible where an Easter bunny has anything to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but in vain worship and pagan practice the bunny symbolize fertility, our praise and worship should be unto God, not unto springtime, pagan gods and traditions.
Who is Nimrod- Genesis 10:8-10
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Nimrod defied God by building the kingdom of Babel to try to keep mankind from spreading out a filling the earth
Who is Tammuz- Ezekiel 8:14
King James Version (KJV)14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammuz_(deity) Tammuz is the Babylonian fertility god
Who is Ishtar- Jeremiah 7:18-20
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Jeremiah 44:25-27
King James Version (KJV)25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth.27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

This so called queen of heaven is Ishtar pronounced today as Easter
A version of death and rebirth of false gods (Nimrod, Tammuz, Ishtar and others) is being promoted as worshipping the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it is a lie from the pits of hell!
It is paganism, we must not believe the lies of the devil over the truth of God!!! We are provoking God to anger!!!

Many of us have made vain attempts to worship God, myself included, but we must turn from those traditions and start worshipping our Lord and Savior in Spirit and in Truth. We must turn away from vain worship
There is so much more information offered on the truth about our Lord and Savior’s death, burial and resurrection so that we can choose to worship in spirit and in truth. I pray you take some time to research all things for yourself, do not take what I, or anyone else say for truth, test what we say or what you read and see if it lines up with the word of God, be a Berean Christian- Acts 17:10-12, search out the word of God daily to see if what is being said is from the word of God. We are living in the last days, and God has made a way for us to know His word, His ways, His truth, ask and He will reveal!
