@@keepthechange2811 Where in the Bible does it say that all Christian practices should stem solely from the four gospels and the epistles and apocalypse? It’s Sola Scriptura that’s the real tradition of man. Christ gave us a Church not a Bible.
If we officially renamed "Easter Sunday" to "Resurrection Sunday" (thereby making it completely Christian without a trace of paganism), the atheists would sadly find a way to complain about that too.
That's exactly what it was called by the Christians of the Great Protestant Reformation. It wasn't called "Easter" in America until the Catholics began emigrating here in the late 1800s. We had a Protestant Reformation for a reason. That was to break away from the pagan customs of the Roman Church.
people back then: eggs and rabbits represent spring because they are food sources that appear during spring people now: they're worshipping a pagan goddess of fertility and rebirth that descended to the underworld

Notice it’s rarely ever even, “modern holidays and linguistics stem from Latin Rome, the Juttes, the Anglo-Frisian dialects.” Instead it’s usually, “They plagiarized this from a second millennium Babylonian Semitic language and pantheon. They took this from the Afro-Asiatic Egyptian Old Kingdom. Look at these crappy MS paint diagrams proving it.”

@@generaljg4373 Isaiah does in 9:6. "Unto us a Son is born, unto us a child is given, and his name shall be Wonderful Counselor [the Holy Spirit], Almighty God [self explanatory], Everlasting Father [God the Father], and the Prince of Peace [God the Son]." So Isaiah gives us the three that are who make up God. This fits with other parts of Isaiah where God speaks and says that he is sending his "messenger" to take care of things and the "messenger" is named God.
@@generaljg4373 If you read the Bible like a children's storybook then you might have some difficulty understanding doctrine. It wasn't intended to be a straightforward program for you to mindlessly download into your brain. You have to read the entire thing, the subtext, connect the typological dots, and draw inferences. The Bible never says explicitly "the nature of the Son is x" and "the nature of the Spirit is x." But it does attribute a bunch of actions to those words which clearly reveal they are Persons with some kind of nature. And if you study those actions, especially in the original languages (mainly Hebrew, Koine Greek), it's quite apparent that they all must have a divine nature and are all present at the beginning, not creatures. That's why the trinity was affirmed so early and challenged so late and by so few. Obviously, none of the prophets ever explicitly affirmed the divinity of Christ either, but this is implicit in all 4 Gospels if you read with some sophistication and an understanding of 1st century Jewish beliefs and customs. If you understand what Jews believed about the name of God, about things that only God could do, then you can see those things are attributed to Jesus in the three synoptic Gospels. Then when you get to John it's just abundantly clear that we must be talking about a divine Person, even though he never comes right out and says "Jesus is God." The reason John is so much more explicit is because his is later and it's written in response to gentiles who read the synoptics and didn't quite get the references to "I AM" and God's monopoly on the ability to control the weather, resurrect the dead, etc. At the very least you have to affirm that God is biune, i.e., binitarian. There's just such abundant textual evidence that Jesus is God, not merely human or angelic. So if you're going to affirm the divine inspiration and authenticity of the Bible then you have to at least accept Jesus is God. Otherwise just ditch the whole thing. And affirming the divinity of Jesus is the first step to affirming the divinity of the Holy Spirit. If you then read every reference to the Spirit in sequence it's so obvious that the Spirit, i.e., the Comforter, the Sanctifier, the Helper, is a Person and most certainly divine.
Skeptics: I will only believe Christianity is true if you can give me 10 contemporary writings on Jesus from people who were not friends or acquaintances of Jesus, an archaeological item proving his resurrection, and 2 video footages of him walking on water and multiplying bread and fish. Also Skeptic: Look! This dank meme says Jesus is a copy of pagan gods even though if there's no source for it, so it must be true!
The secular skeptic does not apply their skepticism to anything secular or anything that can serve to reinforce their presumptions. If an atheist applied equal skepticism to their atheistic assumptions and conclusions that they did to religions (specifically Christianity) they wouldn't be atheist anymore (or at least there would be far fewer). I see all these online atheist talking about "deconstructing" faith and religion but that same standard they do not apply to anything related to atheism; they don't "deconstruct" their atheism. I did, and that is why I am no longer an atheist.

There is no Ishtar in the Bible Bible is alien to her and she's alien to your unholy bible. The god that's referenced it's similar to Ishtar wishes with some of these scholars have made the error and almost unforgivable mistake is it's the goddess astarte this God Astarte or Ashtarat is mentioned a few times in the Book of Judges she has influence upon the Book of Genesis from Genesis 1 onward like several other gods do in and out as well as outside she never does not have any relationships are other than some quasi similarities that some scholars have made faulty connections to that arent connections at all.

What's frustrating about this topic is when you get the uninformed Christians who also believe that Easter is Pagan, and thus accuse those who celebrate Easter as idolaters. Your videos on this have been extremely helpful in addressing the matter.
That's indeed very frustrating! Especially when they call us ignorant and then they unknowingly or knowingly keep using Alexander Hislop's book as proof..🤦🏽
+Aidan Moore The bible is very specific insofar it instructs us NOT to follow the "traditions of men" in several bible verses - those traditions being holidays the bible doesn't instruct us to celebrate such as Easter. Matthew 15:6, "So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God." The word "tradition" in the New Testament also refers to the then (oral) traditions of the Jews who follow the Babylonian Talmud and NOT the Old Testament bible/Torah as they claim. As my relatives are jews, I know that for a fact - though NOT ALL jews follow the Talmud.
Happy passover, Yeshua was the passover lamb. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to keep the day of Easter. God does say keep passover. Don't lean on your own understanding, but rely on the words of God
Only in Anglo-Germanic spheres is the day called 'Easter.' in every other language it's called Pasg, Pasc, or some other variation of Passover. The very idea the month/seasonal name "oestre" might have some connection to a forgotten diety was from Jacob (IIRC) Grimm, an admitted, open, and pure conjecture he put forward, in parallel to the days of the week, because he had not other reason to explain it.
@@MathewDRhys Me thinks you missed his point. Nowhere in the Bible, nowhere does Yahshua command us to observe His crucifixion and resurrection as an annual feast day. i believe this is Patrick's point. Yahshua commanded us to observe the Passover, in remembrance of Him!
@@inconnu4961 You seem to be missing my point. Easter is the Anglo- Germanic word for Passover. Passover is already an annual holiday that foretold the death and resurrection of Jesus. Christ's command to celebrate the Seder in remembrance of Him has no time element ("as often as you do"), but Passover is already annual. Why would remembrance at minimum annually be inappropriate? This is all an argument from silence at that point.
Wiki says this about archeological findings concerning Eostre, easter, Ostara : " In 1958, over 150 Romano-Germanic votive inscriptions to the matronae Austriahenae, a triad of goddesses, were discovered near Morken-Harff, Germany. Most of these inscriptions are in an incomplete state, yet many are at least reasonably legible. Some of these inscriptions refer to the Austriates, evidently the name of a social group.[18] The name of these goddesses certainly derives from the root austri-, which, if Germanic, would be cognate with the Old English Eostre. But the goddesses might equally be entirely independent.[19]"
Wikipedia also says "According to linguist Guus Kroonen, the Germanic and Baltic languages replaced the old formation *h₂éws-os, the name of the PIE dawn-goddess, with a form in -reh₂-, likewise found in the Lithuanian deity Aušrinė. In Anglo-Saxon England, her springtime festival gave its name to a month (Ēosturmōnaþ, West Saxon Eastermonað), the equivalent of April, then to the Christian feast of Easter that eventually displaced it." With much more recent sources: Simek, Rudolf (1996). Dictionary of Northern Mythology. D.S. Brewer. ISBN 978-0-85991-513-7. Kroonen, Guus (2013). Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic. Brill.

West, Martin L. (2007). Indo-European Poetry and Myth. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-928075-9. But really it's beside the point, because Pascha has been around much longer than it was ever known as Easter. The vast majority of languages call it some transliteration or variant of Pascha. And Pascha is a transliteration of the Hebrew Pesach, meaning Passover. Easter and Pascha are the same holiday. Anyone can verify this by simply going to celebrate Pascha in pretty much any non-Germanic speaking country. Since they claim that all of this stuff was fabricated or co-opted by the "Roman Catholics," they could go to Rome and see for themselves. But they won't, because the goal is not knowledge, it's attention and money. Just like people who publish UFO conspiracy theories and install themselves as conspiracy gurus, their purpose is to take advantage of their audience's credulity, not to edify themselves.
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol Easter (in the pagan connotation) and pascha are absolutely not the same holiday as the jewish pascha is just a historic memorial festivity.

Alexander Hislop; nice to know where this stuff came from years after I stopped saying these things. I was an atheist and made these same attacks on Christians regarding Easter for many years. Even after experiencing Yeshua I had no clue how to frame the holidays because they "seemed" pagan. Thank you, Mike and IP. You're a welcomed friend on my path to Orthodox Christianity.
Thank you for this. I would add that the argument that Easter = Ishtar has the possible goddess Eostre at its core. If this goddess existed, her name would indicate a solar deity which Ishtar certainly was not.
Except it's not really destroy either it just came from idiots from the 1800s who knew nothing about the Middle East or about pagan beliefs or about other stuff what a false religious Godless system that had no constant falling ignorance and self blasphemy and self damnation.
"What we know by FAITH and what we learn by REASON cannot be in conflict." - St. Augustine of Hippo, Church Father (354AD.) Historically, the Catholic Church has often been a patron of sciences. It has been prolific in the foundation and funding of schools, universities, and hospitals, and many clergy have been active in the sciences. Historians of science such as Pierre Duhem credit medieval Catholic mathematicians and philosophers such as John Buridan, Nicole Oresme, and Roger Bacon as the founders of modern science. Duhem found "the mechanics and physics, of which modern times are justifiably proud, to proceed by an uninterrupted series of scarcely perceptible improvements from doctrines professed in the heart of the medieval schools." Catholic scientists, both religious and lay, have led scientific discovery in many fields. From ancient times, Christian emphasis on practical charity gave rise to the development of systematic nursing and hospitals and the Church remains the single largest private provider of medical care and research facilities in the world. Following the Fall of Rome, monasteries and convents remained bastions of scholarship in Western Europe and clergymen were the leading scholars of the age - studying nature, mathematics, and the motion of the stars. During the Middle Ages, the Church founded Europe's first universities, producing scholars like Robert Grosseteste, Albert the Great, Roger Bacon, and Thomas Aquinas, who helped establish the scientific method. During this period, the Church was also a major patron of engineering for the construction of elaborate cathedrals. Since the Renaissance, Catholic scientists have been credited as fathers of a diverse range of scientific fields: Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) pioneered heliocentrism, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) prefigured the theory of evolution with Lamarckism, Friar Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) pioneered genetics, and Fr Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) proposed the Big Bang cosmological model, he is the Father of Big Bang Theory. The Jesuits have been particularly active, notably in astronomy. Church patronage of sciences continues through institutions like the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (a successor to the Accademia dei Lincei of 1603) and Vatican Observatory (a successor to the Gregorian Observatory of 1580). As the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, it has played a prominent role in shaping the history and development of Western civilization we now know today. The Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and medical services in the world. The Catholic Church manages 26% of health care facilities in the world, including tens of thousand hospitals, clinics, orphanages, pharmacies and centers for those with leprosy. The church has always been involved in education, since the founding of the first universities of Europe. It runs and sponsors tens of thousand of primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities throughout the world and operates the world's largest non-governmental school system. In the words of J. L. Heilbron of the University of California, Berkeley, the "Roman Catholic Church gave more financial aid and social support to the study of astronomy over six centuries, from the recovery of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into the Enlightenment, than any other, and all other institutions." This financial and social support extended also to other branches of scientific inquiry. The Church is patron of Learnings and Social Services for almost 2000 yrs.
Things change… people change… institutions change. The historic deeds of the Catholic Church (good or ill) are mostly irrelevant when weighed against the current actions of the Church. That the Church may have behaved well in centuries past doesn’t excuse it’s bad behavior in the 21st century.

If you do not, then are you arguing that religious beliefs should supersede scientific facts?
Thank you for your work. It's good to see someone daring to question the public opinion and demanding sources. And it is good to see that they can't provide those sources.
You did a good job kind, of refuting the guy coming up with his own ideas about Easter .But Bede English theologian and Scholar noted that in eighth-century England, the month of April was called Eosturmonath, or Eostre Month, after the goddess Eostre. He wrote that a pagan festival of spring in the name of the goddess had become assimilated into the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Also Easter seems to be officially established at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD
The Church had already been celebrating Easter prior to Nicæa, but different parts of the Church were celebrating on different days. The Council merely settled the date for the entire Church to celebrate Easter on together.
I liked your analogy to how they associate Easter with Ishtar, by using the American Independence being 4th of July and associating it with Julius Caesar because the month is named after him.
Except they have no equivocation they can't even make a false connection even all they can do is just a c words and their preconceptions on their wicked opinion biases and then they see a word that sounds something like but they already pre can seemingly no they make false connections without actually looking at it and they fall into the pit of darkness and destruction
In fact like a really strong actually did you know that Passover has influence from Ishtar and Baal and Marduk. Yahweh is almost a copy of marduke and almost every from Genesis 12 Genesis 1:49 Daniel to Genesis 6 7 and 8 to Isaiah to Jeremiah. The fact that Yahweh fights Leviathan is just a copy cut of Marduk fighting and Slaying Tiamat. It's like it's parallel point by point.
Why is Passover and Yom Kippur so parallel to the Babylon Akitu Holydays to God MRDK why is your false god Yahweh copying off the very Gods he doesn't like and is losing against ? Why They still infuriating him now.
I keep telling people for all the nonsense that idols of the past were copied by Christians for the primary sources but non of them can. It is the way to refute these lies. God bless you and your family.
Basic facts with Ishtar and have to go further on that just this alone ishtar's anti Easter just quite simply that in our own working and own stuff and her name in her own character is anti Easter.
Jesus created rabbits, bunnies, eggs, chocolate, baskets, grass, April, sun, moon and stars......so no matter what pagans believe,.....why not use it ALL for the Glory of God !!! It all belongs to Him,..Period. Happy Easter everyone! :)
@mysotiras 011 Either way good Friday to Easter Sunday isn’t 3 days and 3 nights. To imply that this is a mute point is missing the point itself no disrespect. How can you celebrate a festival that doesn’t even line up with how long the scriptures state Christ was in the grave for?

No, this Sunday of the year is not pagan. It is in scripture that Jesus was resurrected on this day. However, the Catholic Church DID mix in pagan traditions into Christs' resurrection day to entice pagans to covert to Catholicism. A blasphemous move if you ask me. I think a lot of people just like to take half-truths and stretch them thin in an attempt to make a sound argument.
The Bible teaches a Wednesday crucifixion and a Saturday resurrection. The Sunday resurrection fable was constructed by apostates years later to justify their rejection of the commanded Sabbath.

Read Deut. 12:29-31, and any objective person can see why: God unmistakably condemned ppl using pagan worship ordinances to honor Him for _any_ reason. Jesus said God _must_ be worshiped the way He commanded, otherwise a person's religion is false. Those are the rules.
Well it SURELY doesn’t come from the bible and it’s 100% a tradition of men not supported in scripture. Not one verse commanded us to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus each spring basically just christianizing pagan spring festivals and celebrations.

You’re exactly right, Christianity is more influenced by European paganism, which was Animism first before they began to forget the meanings, or “kennings,” of their myths. Yet, what is also undeniable is how much Christianity influenced medieval Germanic Paganism. They rebuilt each other, essentially.

Who in the Bible celebrated Easter? If Easter isn't pagan then what's with all the fertility symbols? Acting like bunnies and eggs have nothing to do with fertility is asinine to say the least. But carry on.
Easter does come from Paganism, just like Christmas (the holiday) comes from Paganism........Christ was RESSURRECTED and Christ was Born but he never told us to build a holiday around these things
Did you even watch the video and check out some sources? lol Since it's not pagan↴ *One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. (Romans 14:5, NASB)He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. (Romans 14:6, NASB)*
No, both don't come from paganism. And Jesus didn't tell us to have any holidays. Does that mean we can't celebrate any? That's not great logic. Jesus never told you to watch UA-cam, why are you watching UA-cam? Jesus never told you to take photos why are you doing that? What's wrong with celebrating the birth and resurrection of our saviour? If you don't want to celebrate Easter and Christmas be my guest. But you need better arguments if you're going to convince us otherwise.

I did believe this and argued this (back before the internet took off and info was easier to check) at my Christian high school. They told us to call spring break Easter break instead because people associated “spring break” with partying.

Or that they're stupid creationist or the Tower of Babel there Daniel statue the flood of Noah all have Babylonian influence more so than they ever could with Easter. In fact the way your false god Yahweh is worshipped as the same way more do cuz worship only with a few minor differences but really in truth there almost identical even the Tabernacle the ark of the covenant similar to marduke idol statues you want to falsely say.
Base with real Pagan concept as well as other beliefs is like Mesopotamian or Babylonian did you know that the flood of Noah Tower of Babel and the garden of Eden and Daniel statue I have Mesopotamian religious influence and origins on your god Yahweh and those tales mythos fiction ? These f****** all are wrong to Super wrong on this they don't even understand their own arguments just betray them instantly when they actually start thinking about what they're saying and using spiritual discernment and and simple understanding of critical thinking they realize how wrong they are in the least.
Even the Adam and Eve garden's story with y'all way cursing them and throwing them out has Babylonian influence and Canaanite influence.

That's exactly what it was called by the Christians of the Great Protestant Reformation. It wasn't called "Easter" in America until the Catholics began emigrating here in the late 1800s. We had a Protestant Reformation for a reason. That was to break away from the pagan customs of the Roman Church.

Oh right I forgot. You're not a human. You're just a mindless troll. An Abdul, a mindless drone, a thoughtless bag of flesh that fulfils the will of the demon that is behind the peaceful religion called Islam.
@@generaljg4373 Isaiah does in 9:6. "Unto us a Son is born, unto us a child is given, and his name shall be Wonderful Counselor [the Holy Spirit], Almighty God [self explanatory], Everlasting Father [God the Father], and the Prince of Peace [God the Son]." So Isaiah gives us the three that are who make up God. This fits with other parts of Isaiah where God speaks and says that he is sending his "messenger" to take care of things and the "messenger" is named God.
@@generaljg4373 If you read the Bible like a children's storybook then you might have some difficulty understanding doctrine. It wasn't intended to be a straightforward program for you to mindlessly download into your brain. You have to read the entire thing, the subtext, connect the typological dots, and draw inferences. The Bible never says explicitly "the nature of the Son is x" and "the nature of the Spirit is x." But it does attribute a bunch of actions to those words which clearly reveal they are Persons with some kind of nature. And if you study those actions, especially in the original languages (mainly Hebrew, Koine Greek), it's quite apparent that they all must have a divine nature and are all present at the beginning, not creatures. That's why the trinity was affirmed so early and challenged so late and by so few.
Obviously, none of the prophets ever explicitly affirmed the divinity of Christ either, but this is implicit in all 4 Gospels if you read with some sophistication and an understanding of 1st century Jewish beliefs and customs. If you understand what Jews believed about the name of God, about things that only God could do, then you can see those things are attributed to Jesus in the three synoptic Gospels. Then when you get to John it's just abundantly clear that we must be talking about a divine Person, even though he never comes right out and says "Jesus is God." The reason John is so much more explicit is because his is later and it's written in response to gentiles who read the synoptics and didn't quite get the references to "I AM" and God's monopoly on the ability to control the weather, resurrect the dead, etc.
At the very least you have to affirm that God is biune, i.e., binitarian. There's just such abundant textual evidence that Jesus is God, not merely human or angelic. So if you're going to affirm the divine inspiration and authenticity of the Bible then you have to at least accept Jesus is God. Otherwise just ditch the whole thing. And affirming the divinity of Jesus is the first step to affirming the divinity of the Holy Spirit. If you then read every reference to the Spirit in sequence it's so obvious that the Spirit, i.e., the Comforter, the Sanctifier, the Helper, is a Person and most certainly divine.

The secular skeptic does not apply their skepticism to anything secular or anything that can serve to reinforce their presumptions.

That argument always has been nonsense in my view as "Easter" in my language is realated to "Pesach/Pascha", so no reminders to easter/ishtar.
+Aidan Moore The bible is very specific insofar it instructs us NOT to follow the "traditions of men" in several bible verses - those traditions being holidays the bible doesn't instruct us to celebrate such as Easter. Matthew 15:6, "So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God." The word "tradition" in the New Testament also refers to the then (oral) traditions of the Jews who follow the Babylonian Talmud and NOT the Old Testament bible/Torah as they claim. As my relatives are jews, I know that for a fact - though NOT ALL jews follow the Talmud.

Christians hate Passover and every biblical holy day. They are pagans
Only in Anglo-Germanic spheres is the day called 'Easter.' in every other language it's called Pasg, Pasc, or some other variation of Passover. The very idea the month/seasonal name "oestre" might have some connection to a forgotten diety was from Jacob (IIRC) Grimm, an admitted, open, and pure conjecture he put forward, in parallel to the days of the week, because he had not other reason to explain it.
@@MathewDRhys Me thinks you missed his point. Nowhere in the Bible, nowhere does Yahshua command us to observe His crucifixion and resurrection as an annual feast day. i believe this is Patrick's point. Yahshua commanded us to observe the Passover, in remembrance of Him!
@@inconnu4961 You seem to be missing my point. Easter is the Anglo- Germanic word for Passover. Passover is already an annual holiday that foretold the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Christ's command to celebrate the Seder in remembrance of Him has no time element ("as often as you do"), but Passover is already annual. Why would remembrance at minimum annually be inappropriate? This is all an argument from silence at that point.

Wiki says this about archeological findings concerning Eostre, easter, Ostara : " In 1958, over 150 Romano-Germanic votive inscriptions to the matronae Austriahenae, a triad of goddesses, were discovered near Morken-Harff, Germany. Most of these inscriptions are in an incomplete state, yet many are at least reasonably legible. Some of these inscriptions refer to the Austriates, evidently the name of a social group.[18] The name of these goddesses certainly derives from the root austri-, which, if Germanic, would be cognate with the Old English Eostre. But the goddesses might equally be entirely independent.[19]"
Wikipedia also says "According to linguist Guus Kroonen, the Germanic and Baltic languages replaced the old formation *h₂éws-os, the name of the PIE dawn-goddess, with a form in -reh₂-, likewise found in the Lithuanian deity Aušrinė. In Anglo-Saxon England, her springtime festival gave its name to a month (Ēosturmōnaþ, West Saxon Eastermonað), the equivalent of April, then to the Christian feast of Easter that eventually displaced it."

But really it's beside the point, because Pascha has been around much longer than it was ever known as Easter. The vast majority of languages call it some transliteration or variant of Pascha. And Pascha is a transliteration of the Hebrew Pesach, meaning Passover. Easter and Pascha are the same holiday. Anyone can verify this by simply going to celebrate Pascha in pretty much any non-Germanic speaking country. Since they claim that all of this stuff was fabricated or co-opted by the "Roman Catholics," they could go to Rome and see for themselves. But they won't, because the goal is not knowledge, it's attention and money. Just like people who publish UFO conspiracy theories and install themselves as conspiracy gurus, their purpose is to take advantage of their audience's credulity, not to edify themselves.

Historically, the Catholic Church has often been a patron of sciences. It has been prolific in the foundation and funding of schools, universities, and hospitals, and many clergy have been active in the sciences. Historians of science such as Pierre Duhem credit medieval Catholic mathematicians and philosophers such as John Buridan, Nicole Oresme, and Roger Bacon as the founders of modern science. Duhem found "the mechanics and physics, of which modern times are justifiably proud, to proceed by an uninterrupted series of scarcely perceptible improvements from doctrines professed in the heart of the medieval schools."
Catholic scientists, both religious and lay, have led scientific discovery in many fields. From ancient times, Christian emphasis on practical charity gave rise to the development of systematic nursing and hospitals and the Church remains the single largest private provider of medical care and research facilities in the world. Following the Fall of Rome, monasteries and convents remained bastions of scholarship in Western Europe and clergymen were the leading scholars of the age - studying nature, mathematics, and the motion of the stars. During the Middle Ages, the Church founded Europe's first universities, producing scholars like Robert Grosseteste, Albert the Great, Roger Bacon, and Thomas Aquinas, who helped establish the scientific method.
During this period, the Church was also a major patron of engineering for the construction of elaborate cathedrals. Since the Renaissance, Catholic scientists have been credited as fathers of a diverse range of scientific fields: Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) pioneered heliocentrism, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) prefigured the theory of evolution with Lamarckism, Friar Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) pioneered genetics, and Fr Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) proposed the Big Bang cosmological model, he is the Father of Big Bang Theory. The Jesuits have been particularly active, notably in astronomy. Church patronage of sciences continues through institutions like the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (a successor to the Accademia dei Lincei of 1603) and Vatican Observatory (a successor to the Gregorian Observatory of 1580).
As the world's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution, it has played a prominent role in shaping the history and development of Western civilization we now know today. The Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and medical services in the world. The Catholic Church manages 26% of health care facilities in the world, including tens of thousand hospitals, clinics, orphanages, pharmacies and centers for those with leprosy. The church has always been involved in education, since the founding of the first universities of Europe. It runs and sponsors tens of thousand of primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities throughout the world and operates the world's largest non-governmental school system.
In the words of J. L. Heilbron of the University of California, Berkeley, the "Roman Catholic Church gave more financial aid and social support to the study of astronomy over six centuries, from the recovery of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into the Enlightenment, than any other, and all other institutions." This financial and social support extended also to other branches of scientific inquiry. The Church is patron of Learnings and Social Services for almost 2000 yrs.
Things change… people change… institutions change. The historic deeds of the Catholic Church (good or ill) are mostly irrelevant when weighed against the current actions of the Church. That the Church may have behaved well in centuries past doesn’t excuse it’s bad behavior in the 21st century.

Do you find religious beliefs to be compatible with the scientific method? If you do not, then are you arguing that religious beliefs should supersede scientific facts?
Thank you for your work. It's good to see someone daring to question the public opinion and demanding sources.
And it is good to see that they can't provide those sources.
You did a good job kind, of refuting the guy coming up with his own ideas about Easter .But Bede English theologian and Scholar noted that in eighth-century England, the month of April was called Eosturmonath, or Eostre Month, after the goddess Eostre. He wrote that a pagan festival of spring in the name of the goddess had become assimilated into the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Christ.
Also Easter seems to be officially established at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD
The Church had already been celebrating Easter prior to Nicæa, but different parts of the Church were celebrating on different days. The Council merely settled the date for the entire Church to celebrate Easter on together.
Let's be fair, their videos do make for decent entertainment.
I liked your analogy to how they associate Easter with Ishtar, by using the American Independence being 4th of July and associating it with Julius Caesar because the month is named after him.
Except they have no equivocation they can't even make a false connection even all they can do is just a c words and their preconceptions on their wicked opinion biases and then they see a word that sounds something like but they already pre can seemingly no they make false connections without actually looking at it and they fall into the pit of darkness and destruction
Jesus is a Jew! Happy Passover!
In fact like a really strong actually did you know that Passover has influence from Ishtar and Baal and Marduk.
Yahweh is almost a copy of marduke and almost every from Genesis 12 Genesis 1:49 Daniel to Genesis 6 7 and 8 to Isaiah to Jeremiah.
The fact that Yahweh fights Leviathan is just a copy cut of Marduk fighting and Slaying Tiamat.
It's like it's parallel point by point.
Why is Passover and Yom Kippur so parallel to the Babylon Akitu Holydays to God MRDK why is your false god Yahweh copying off the very Gods he doesn't like and is losing against ? Why They still infuriating him now.
People are big dumb.
I keep telling people for all the nonsense that idols of the past were copied by Christians for the primary sources but non of them can. It is the way to refute these lies. God bless you and your family.
Surrexit Dominus. No Ishtar, no two Babylons. He took it all back when he furthered his research. Thanks, IP.
Is Taurus ultralite about in the two boo balloons and it's anti Ishtar and Anti Pagan material Ultra anti pagan in the least.
Basic facts with Ishtar and have to go further on that just this alone ishtar's anti Easter just quite simply that in our own working and own stuff and her name in her own character is anti Easter.
Jesus created rabbits, bunnies, eggs, chocolate, baskets, grass, April, sun, moon and stars......so no matter what pagans believe,.....why not use it ALL for the Glory of God !!! It all belongs to Him,..Period.
Happy Easter everyone! :)
Good Friday to Easter Sunday isn’t 3 days and 3 nights no matter how you slice it
Check out Allen Parr's excellent YT video on what day was Jesus crucified. "The BEAT". With charts too😺
@mysotiras 011 Christ was in the grave for three days and three nights yes or no?
@mysotiras 011 Either way good Friday to Easter Sunday isn’t 3 days and 3 nights. To imply that this is a mute point is missing the point itself no disrespect. How can you celebrate a festival that doesn’t even line up with how long the scriptures state Christ was in the grave for?
@mysotiras 011 Matthew 12:40 explicitly states 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth meaning grave. If he died on good Friday and rose again on Sunday, please explain how this is 3 days and 3 nights. Couldn’t care less how many phds wrote about it.

No, this Sunday of the year is not pagan. It is in scripture that Jesus was resurrected on this day. However, the Catholic Church DID mix in pagan traditions into Christs' resurrection day to entice pagans to covert to Catholicism. A blasphemous move if you ask me.

You’re exactly right, Christianity is more influenced by European paganism, which was Animism first before they began to forget the meanings, or “kennings,” of their myths.
Yet, what is also undeniable is how much Christianity influenced medieval Germanic Paganism. They rebuilt each other, essentially.
primary source please
Imma need some evidence
Not animism is regular theology and God belief of Europe that's foreign to the Middle East of all of it and he super liked raptors regular crap.
Christian holidays are just purely European Christian with some boorish influence but has very few sprinkles of real Pagan influence at all.

Or that they're stupid creationist or the Tower of Babel there Daniel statue the flood of Noah all have Babylonian influence more so than they ever could with Easter.
In fact the way your false god Yahweh is worshipped as the same way more do cuz worship only with a few minor differences but really in truth there almost identical even the Tabernacle the ark of the covenant similar to marduke idol statues you want to falsely say.
Base with real Pagan concept as well as other beliefs is like Mesopotamian or Babylonian did you know that the flood of Noah Tower of Babel and the garden of Eden and Daniel statue I have Mesopotamian religious influence and origins on your god Yahweh and those tales mythos fiction ?
These f****** all are wrong to Super wrong on this they don't even understand their own arguments just betray them instantly when they actually start thinking about what they're saying and using spiritual discernment and and simple understanding of critical thinking they realize how wrong they are in the least.
Even the Adam and Eve garden's story with y'all way cursing them and throwing them out has Babylonian influence and Canaanite influence.
