Is This “the Dark Truth About Easter”?

Responding to ridiculous claims from Brad Lea about the origins of Easter and Christmas.

[asgnasame]

Christmas, Easter, Halloween. Never heard all of this in the bible. Even Jesus, his disciple and apostle never celebrated all of this thing.

[rebsterz]

Where are you getting your information, and what scriptures of the Bible are you basing this upon?

[ChrisMarotola]

Why is it that the date of Easter is not celebrated after the Jewish Passover because we clearly see that before Jesus died and resurrected He actually celebrated Passover, why not any date after the 15 days of Nisan (Levi 23:1)

[Valcali]

Jesus was not born in Dec ether, he was in fact born in the spring time.
Christians hijacked Christmas, which is a Pagan holiday. It was the Catholic Church
that came up with the name Christ-Mas, to make the name sound more Christian.
Nowhere in any bible does it talk about "Christmas" and Christians are forbidden to even celebrate it.
It being a Pagan holiday, "The Winter Solstice" To erect any sort of Christmas tree is considered a form of idolatry and therefore a sin.

His information is based on early Catholicism being merged with Paganism, as Romans were Pegans before they converted to Christianity and they included Pagan traditions in order to make Pegans comfortable with converting to Christianity

In an unrelated note, I copied that Spider Man cover so many times as a kid. ❤

I see what your saying but I gotta ask you what are your thoughts about celebrating Christmas and pagan holidays that people don't realize there celebrating

If Ishtar was a Mesopotamian deity, did she have any relevance or some kind of equivelent (the way Rome had Jupiter and Greece had Zeus, for example) in ancient egypt where Horus and Ra were worshipped? The guy you're responding to seems to jump from Ishtar orgies to Horus sacrifices but they're from two different cultures?

thanks for the video. gotta love the medieval imagination and its creative and earthy employment of symbolism. also, the feast of the annunciation (commemorating the visitation of the archangel gabriel to the virgin mary, to announce the conception of christ) is celebrated by many christians in both the east and west on march 25, nine months before the celebration of christmas.

I don't know what is European Christianity, European Christian Christian 😅 wasn't the whole Bible meant for every person on earth as a guidence for man kind ? Why create sects and belief metaphor based on region 😎 where in Bible (new testament ) is it mentioned about Easter, halloween, Santa Claus, Christmas ( actual birth date of christ) ? Plz explain

[coolfix]

None of the Early Christians (Syriac, Aramaic, Ethiopian Christians ) can relate to this easter bunny or egg roll. I never knew there was such a thing called santa, I saw it in a mall. (South Indian Christianity has none of these)

[BB-tmsx]

Leave it to medieval Christians to link rabbits with "virginity" 💀💀💀

[widiandritalempong]

What puzzled me the most is chrismas. it is mentioned that jesus was born the shepherds in the field. There's no shepherd in the field in 25 december, theyll be fozen to death

[JuanMPalacio]

I love your videos. I hate the Zeitgeist-inspired claims that Jesus is a copy of every single pagan deity.

[Gracemarcantel]

You still haven't explained what eggs and rabbits have to do with the Resurrection...
So they're related to Christianity, then why not have them for Xmas?
And let me guess, you can explain away Halloween too... The bottom line is ALL of these holidays ARE pagan in origin.

[lisaboban]

"It's just wrong."
Yep. You can pretty much just say that over and over and over...

[not_enough_space]

Interesting. I never knew this virgin birth idea about Brown Hares or of traditions matching important people's death date with their birth or conception date.

[meriarif]

Can you please put the link for the original podcast? Would like to hear it all.

This video was a breath of fresh air. For too long I’ve allowed conspiracy videos to affect me and create doubt. Love the calm facts in a respectful way. Thank you. ❤

Mar 7:6  And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 
Mar 7:7  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 
Mar 7:8  You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” 
Mar 7:9  And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!
