Leviticus 23:5-6
If we believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God, and we know that God hates traditions of man and He hates mixing the Holy with the profane, where is Easter in the scriptures and why do we even celebrate it?
According to the bible, “there are three feasts that will be celebrated on Earth [not only for Jews] throughout the Millennium Reign of Christ. In addition to Tabernacles, a 7 day Fall Feast, Passover and Unleavened Bread will be combined into a 7 day spring celebration. (Ezek. 45:21-25)” — Excerpt from Grace thru Faith.
If we as Christians are to rule and reign with Christ on Earth during the Millennial Kingdom, how can we do so with any credibility if today we ignore the Lord’s Feast Days and continue to hold to our own desires, despite clear knowledge and understanding of our pagan infused rituals and holidays. We insist on celebrating with man-made traditions and culture. We worship God how we want to do it and not how He wants us to worship Him.
How are we any different than the disobedient Israelites with their Golden Calf, the pagan worshipers, and the worshipers of Baal? We’re not. We are totally them. Totally willfully disobedient.
While the blood of Jesus has atoned for the sins of the world, God did not create man in order to save him. Our salvation is not the final purpose for our lives. Our salvation in Christ is the mere first step towards an eternity of glorifying our Creator and living in Holiness with Him. It’s not about us and what we want. It’s about doing the Will of our Father.
Pray for discernment.
Amen.

So true we want to do it our way. If it’s not comfortable, just change it until it feels good seems to be the mantra of the day. Really, we’ve been that way since the beginning from reading the scriptures. I will add though, and this is not to argue with you but Easter is in the King James Bibles. “And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.” Acts 12:4. I’m not the knower of all things scripture but I feel they were referring to the Passover and the days of unleavened bread. But it is in there. I ask the LORD to continue to bless you 🙂

Thank you for your comment. In reading about this particular verse, there are several opinions, one of which Herod — who was a pagan, did indeed use the word. Other scholars who have done a thorough word study state that the KJV translation is not accurate. I wouldn’t be surprised for either or as correct.. My point which was not made clear, is that no-where in the scripture does our Father tell us to worship Him on Easter. Secondarily, but no less important is the pagan-influence of this holiday. Thank you for bringing truth and clarity to the ill worded remark. Bless you and thank you for reading!!

Hi…I just did a Strong’s Concordance search using the free software eSword on the word ‘Easter’… it is G3957 and its Pascha or Passover, so you are totally correct! Interesting that they would get that wrong.
