From Producer | Dr. Stephen Phinney: The organic origins of Easter reveal some horrific facts that flow directly from ancient paganism. Shortly after the flood, Nimrod reestablished idolatry...
A transformed & regenerated heart mind, soul, spirit and life is the result of becoming truly profoundly affected & aware of the living and resurrected Jesus. It is a constant consistent fellowship of holy communion and walk with Him where we pick up our cross daily to follow after Him.
It is not to pretend we are disciples, followers of Jesus as the lamb~ Christians and feel holy on certain calendar days only to go back to a usual lukewarmness and worldly ways engaging with the bread & circuses of a vain world that is dominated by darkness, winding its tentacles everywhere deeper into the hearts and minds of church institutions.
We cannot serve two masters or in the keeping of two opposing worlds and presenting a tainted polluted dishonourable worship before our living Holy God. And that is why, if we don't truly repent in dust and ashes, allowing Jesus to change us, do a metamorphosis in us from the inside out and leave our sinful and selfish old carnal beastly, fleshly nature & ways of our past behind, and all the ways of the worldly incorporated pagan traditions, purging everything from us that is not from Heavenly father as they did in the days of unleavened bread removing all leaven which represents sin and false teachings, if we don't remove such from our midst then our Lord Jesus will spit us out and deny us on the final day.
That is because if we continue in ways contrary to God's truths and live in wilful habitual sins and incorporate mixture of tainted polluted compromised worship to Him, we have denied Him and His precious blood spilt sacrifice with a compromised lifestyle & actions of worship contrary to God's truths & what He says & deems is acceptable. Jesus wants all of our hearts to be in alignment with His each and every day, for we live breath, move and have our being in Him.
thanks for bringing these things to light. It's disconcerting. Look how easy it is to distort something and generation after generation, it just gets more distorted and no one knows the difference because we've never been taught differently. Thanks for your work!
I love that you point out these inconsistencies with our seemingly "American" traditions. If we all understood and rejected the blend of pagan practices with our holy celebrations, we would reaffirm our commitment to celebrating Jesus' resurrection in a way that truly honors Him, free from the shadows of the past.
I am all about celebrating the believer's resurrection in Christ - through dying on the Cross of Jesus with Him (Galatians 2:20). However, to honor Him, resurrection living, should be every day, 24-hours a day by releasing the power of His resurrection through "Christ in you." Thanks for taking the time to engage.
Thank you brother Stephen for this deep honest unvarnished exposition of the historical accuracies concerning the Babylonian roots of Ishtar (Easter) Semiramis & Tammuz, it is wonderful and thank you. It reminds me of Doc Marquis who also delved deep into all the roots of the years of inherited pagan and satanic traditions incorporated as Holy days to God by the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant evengelical churches.
Many people don't think these things matter, but they matter to our father in Heaven. Do we care about what is upon God's heart and mind? For we serve a Jealous God and He is Holy untainted & pure & the only worship acceptable to Him is in spirit and in truth with NO mixture.
Our God is the same today, yesterday and forever and He has standards for us to be set apart and not conform to the ways of the world or their practices. Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 1 Corinthians 10:21
To be like Jesus is something that many a Christian I know says they want. Yet we can choose to walk more obediently as we love and trust Him more and more. Loving God is expressed through obedience. It is the natural result and response of loving God. Love is not simply a subjective feeling about God but a commitment to Him that shapes the ways we see the world and bring our mind our heart our soul to cleave to father's understandings determining how to act within it. To me these are warnings that often go unheeded because many love traditions above the truths of our Lord. Jesus sets us the example to follow closely in His footsteps as did the apostles and early disciples, believers and followers Christians. How did they do it. How did their lives reflect worship to God?
Just like all the other holidays that Christians have adopted to be more acceptable to the world around them, the worst being Halloween. All these are the whitewashed
Well, said! I totally agree with you and enjoyed reading your comments. Thank you for sharing the real deal Truth behind the depraved actions "Christians" adopt to mix paganism in with the precious Life of Jesus. Oil and water never mix, but marginal Christians seem to like it on their global salad. LOL
Thank you for loving Heavenly father & giving Him worship without mixture and restoring His truths of unadulterated worship through exposing the lies and bringing them to the light, above the teachings traditions of men & pagan, satanic traditions that are being taught as equivalent to commands & requirements of & by God.
I have also heard that. Do you know of a good Jewish calendar that can help me narrow down the Feast of Tabernacles and the Passover in 2024? I have read that he died the day after Passover. And rose 3 days later.
I have read that as well. Some believe that His first coming is based on the Passover, due to His first coming is as a Lamb, while believing His Second Coming will be based on the Feast of the Tabernacle, which is our month of September. I'm actually good with that interpretation. I avoid placing dates on His return. It's dangerous since God plans it as a surprise.
I have been trying to lead my children away from these pagan practices for years now. Thank you for this video. I have shared it with them. I pray they watch it and that God uses it to convict their hearts.
Can you tell us WHEN, or about when, was Christ born and resurrected? I know Jesus said His time had come, right before Passover. [John 13:1] [Luke 22:15]
History did not record the exact day, nor year, Jesus was born. The Hebrew calendar is much different than our present-day Gentile calendar. As for the specific Hebrew day, we know John the Baptist was born on Passover (the 15th day of Nisan, the 1st Jewish month), some suggest that Jesus was born six months later on the 15th day of Tishri (the 7th Jewish month), which coincides with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). Since the Feast of Tabernacles represents the 40-year pilgrimage of the Israelites in the dessert with Joshua as their savior, who led them into the Promised Land, it IS likely Jesus (Yeshua) was born on the Feast of the Tabernacles. The logic is Yeshua is the ONE who will lead us into the eternal Promise Land - the New Heaven and Earth.
Transgender Day, declared by Biden, on Easter Sunday!!!
This day, the 31st of March was initiated by Obama in 2009, I think, as transgender day. Biden has just proclaimed it as they do on "days" to be celebrated.
Ironic and blasphemous that it would be on Easter Sunday.
One thing you haven't mentioned is that Easter (also called Ishtar) was a dual sex goddess/god thing- that changed sex each day or night. So transgender/transvestite day is rather ironically appropriate for Easter Sunday.
What is clear is that such perversions are very special sins, called by God an abomination:
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. (Deu 22:5)
Yeap, more perversion. God does not support "holidays," particularly ones invented by the church. He does, however, support the Holy Days set aside for the Jews. Since Halig Daeg was established by the Catholic Church in 950 AD, they immediately began developing Halig Daeg celebrations of "Christ" by making use of paganistic holy days. After that, authentic Messianic Jewish Holy Days went south.
I am definitely going to do some research based on this article. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent. Let me know if you find out anything I haven't noted. I could use it next year.
Will do.

Love it, love it, and love it some more. Preach it brother!

Baals many have placed on God’s Altar. May God give all of those who read this the courageous repentant heart of Josiah who did not rest until every idol & unclean adulterous worship was destroyed & removed. But I basically cover alot of this here: https://open.substack.com/pub/hephzibah807/p/the-end-time-drama-is-a-story-of?r=3ltefe&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I would have it no other way. It sounds like we "kindred" in the Spirit of our Lord. I appreciate your commitment to Truth and excellence.

Thanks Stephen
I thought it was a lot earlier, council of Laodicea when they outlawed keeping Passover and any of the festivals:
Very interesting! I had never heard this history before. It definitely deserves some serious reflection.
Outstanding work Stephen. This should be standard teaching at every seminary.
