St. Valentine's Day is never " Not once " mentioned in the Bible [ The Old or
New Testament ] . Centuries before Christianity began , Pagan Romans celebrated
February 15 and the evening of February 14 in honor of, Lupercus
Lupercus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman mythology, Lupercus is a god sometimes identified with the Roman god
Faunus, who is the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Pan. Lupercus is the god of shepherds. His festival, celebrated on the anniversary of the founding of his
temple in February 15, was called the Lupercalia . His priests wore goatskins.
Lupercus was associated with the Lupercal, the cave where " Romulus and Remus " [ the traditional founders of Rome ] were suckled by a she-wolf
The religious ceremonies of Lupercalia began with the sacrifice of two male
goats and a dog by " The Flamen Dialis " . The Flamen Dialis wore the
albogalerus (Apex) and was the high priest . They put the pagan sacrificial
blood on their foreheads . Smearing of blood on forehead refers to the human sacrifice " originally practiced " at this pagan festival.
The Flamen Dialis would cut the skins off of their sacrifice , this was called "
Februa " , and would dressed themselves in the skins of the sacrificed goats
,[and imitation of Lupercus ] and run round the walls within the city, with the
thongs in their hands , striking the people who was near them [ for purification
] . Teenage girls and young women would line up to receive lashes from these
thongs whips. To ensure fertility, and prevent sterility and to ease the process
of the childbirth pains .
"Lupercalia " custom of exchanging valentines gifts, was for good health and
fertility was in honor of Lupercus . This Pagan celebrations also included , the
worship of the pagan goddess of fertility named " Venus " . Venus in Roman
mythology was the goddess of fertility and sexual immortality she had a son
called , cupido " Cupid " .
Cupid was given power , by the Pagan gods , to cause , Love , to begin. { De
amore } Cupid is the god of erotic love and sex and is equated with the Greek
pagan god Eros . The ancient Greeks believed Eros to have been responsible for impregnating goddesses and mortals.
The pagan image used today, of that little fat cherub bastard ,with a bow and
arrow , mostly associated with Valentine's Day, is that , very same ,pagan
image, of Cupido / Eros . This Pagan Festival was alway's linked to " The Pagan
Practice of Fornication " .
The Pagan Custom of St. Valentine's Day [ the buying gifts ,giving cards and
chocolate candy ] is no big deal , and thought as "Harmless" to people of all
Faith .
But , Here what The Most High Father YHVH said about Following " The Pagan
Nations Customs " .
Deuteronomy 12:30
30 : Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that
they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods,
saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Changing the name of a Pagan Ritual [ does not ] change the fact that it's still
a Pagan Ritual.When you Search the Biblical scriptures diligently, from Old
Testament to New, and you will find no mention of observing an annual period of 40 days of fasting and abstinence preceding the festival of the Passover, so it was not recognized by Yahshua, the apostles, or the early Christian Church
,"lent" is simply just the "weeping for Tammuz".
Ezekiel 8 (King James Version)
Ezekiel 8:13-16 says "He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the
Lord's house which was toward the north; and behold there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the lord house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica:
"Tammuz - A god of ancient Babylonia."
Alexander Hislop (Born at Duns, Berwickshire, 1807; died Arbroath, 13 March
1865) was a Free Church of Scotland minister States "The forty days' abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess. Such a Lent of forty days, "in the spring of the year," is still observed by the Yezidis or Pagan Devil-worshippers of Koordistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians".
Cassianus, the monk of Marseilles or John Cassian (ca. 360 – 435) (Latin:
Jo(h)annes Eremita Cassianus, Joannus Cassianus, or Joannes Massiliensis), John the Ascetic, or John Cassian the Roman, is a Christian theologian celebrated in both the Western and Eastern Churches for his mystical writings
States ""that the observance of forty days had no existence, so long as the
perfection of that primitive Church remained inviolate".
Lent has always been a movable observance holiday , connected to and preceding the festival of Easter. Easter is celebrated on a day specified only by the Roman Catholic Church, and not the Bible, and is fixed based on the sun and the Spring or Vernal equinox.
From
Review & Herald, April 8, 1909
"Preceding the Tammuz festival, the pagans celebrated a fast of forty days. This was a time of lamenting and weeping. Surrounded by these conditions, and receiving into its communion half-pagan converts, the church of the third and fourth centuries became leavened with heathen superstitions. There was developed a marked spirit to cater to the prejudices and customs of their heathen associates, hoping thereby to win the favour of the unconverted, and bring them within the fold of the church."

The reasons for celebrating our major feasts when we do are many and varied. In general, however, it is true that many of them have at least an indirect
connection with the pre-Christian [pagan] feasts celebrated about the same time of year — feasts centering around the harvest, the rebirth of the sun at the
winter solstice (now Dec. 21, but Dec. 25 in the old Julian calendar), the
renewal of nature in spring, and so on.
From
The pre-Christian Norse religion
"the laying of ashes was meant to grant the Norse God Odin's protection using
ashes meant to represent Sigurd–the ashes of Sigurd contained the blood of
Fafnir and would protect a Viking warrior in battle. When the Vikings raided
coastal towns in western and Mediterranean Europe they brought their beliefs and practices with them, included the laying of ashes on a Wednesday–Odin's
Day–which the Christian Church appropriated."
The Tuesday Pagan tradition Catholics follow before Ash Wednesday, is called
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday. Carnival ,comes from the latin carne meaning meat, thus translated it means shedding the flesh or "farewell to the flesh." If These Holidays are not once mention in the bible to follow, why Christians choose to honor them.
If you look up the word "Easter" in Webster's dictionary. You will find:
"AS. (Anglo-Saxon), from name of an old Teuton goddess of spring".
The word " Easter " does not mean , "resurrection of Christ". This name " Easter "was never used in the original Scriptures, nor is it ever associated biblically with the death and resurrection of The Hebrev Messiah .The name "Easter" is merely the slightly changed English spelling of the name of an ancient pagan Assyrian goddess named Ishtar, which was pronounced by the Assyrians ,exactly, as we pronounce "Easter ". The Babylonian name of this Pagan goddess was Astarte, the consort of Baal, the Sun god, whose worship is denounced by The Almighty YHVH , in the Bible as one of the most abominable of all pagan idolatry.
For more than 1700 years the western world has been taught that Christ rose from the dead on Sun-day morning. But that's a Lie , the resurrection did not occur on Sun-day!
The Messiah was crucified on a Wednesday, just before the first day of
unleavened bread. That Sabbath was a high day (John 19:31), the day before the high days was considered to be a preparation day, it was that day, not Friday, that The Messiah was crucified on. If Christians would keep Passover the Holy Days, They would realize that.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so
will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth"
(Matt. 12:39-40).
"three days and three nights" (72 hours) The Church teaches, the Messiah before sunset on "Good Friday" afternoon, Died, and resurrected early Sunday morning. That's only two nights and one day (36 hours) That A Lie According To The Messiah Words. The Messiah said, He would rise "AFTER three days" (Mark 8:31)
Hot cross bun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In many historically Christian countries, buns are traditionally eaten on Good
Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of the crucifixion. They are
believed by some to pre-date Christianity, although the first recorded use of
the term "hot cross bun" is not until 1733;[1] it is believed that buns marked
with a cross were eaten by Saxons in honour of the goddess Eostre (the cross is
thought to have symbolised the four quarters of the moon);[2] 'Eostre' is
probably the origin of the name 'Easter'.[1] Others claim that the Greeks marked cakes with a cross, much earlier.[3] Cakes were certainly baked in honor of deities since very ancient times,"
The Hebrev word for "cakes" as Jeremiah originally wrote it is "kavvan," and
really means "BUNS." It is used nowhere else in the Bible, except Jeremiah
44:19, where again, the same idolatrous worship to the pagan queen of the heaven is mentioned. Every other place in the Bible where the English word "cakes' is used, a different Hebrev word was used in the original.
Jeremiah 44 :19
King James Bible
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink
offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink
offerings unto her, without our men?
Why would anyone, who believe themselves to be a Christians, dye eggs at Easter?
Do Bunnies lay color eggs ? On the day commemorating Christ's resurrection,
Christians roll decorated eggs and hide it ,on the lawn ,and pretend the Easter
rabbit hid them???. This pagan ritual is even practiced at some churches.The
BIBLE does not ordained, or commands, to follow heathen custom . Then WHY SHOULD YOU DO IT ? Why follow heathenism and try to conceive yourself you are a Christian ? YHVH calls such things ABOMINATION!
Painted pagan eggs, Easter baskets, yellow marshmallow chickens ,new clothes , is this what The Messiah Death ,means to you .
Only The Most High Father YHVH , knows when your good or bad,to tell yours and other kids ,Santa Claus knows their actions,so they better be good,or they're not getting any gifts under a tree , is pure madness.
To say that The Messiah was born on December 25th is a lie . To "Christianize"
December 25th as the birthday of The Messiah is utter nonsense.
Where in the bible does it showed , The Messiah celebrated his birthday in December, at anytime .
The bible records the shepherds tending their sheep in the fields on that night
. That is very unlikely to have happened during a cold Judean winter on December the 25th.
Does the bible ever once mentions a day to honor the Messiah Birthday .
Did The Messiah followers in the new testament ever once celebrated his birthday ? Did they
Christ mas is pure and simple a " Pagan custom Holiday " observed by Pagan,
heathens. Egyptian worship Osiris,The Greek it was Apollo and Bacchus, Chaldean was Adonis, Persian it was Mithra, all celebrated during the same date 25 of December . In ancient Babylon, the 25th of December was known as the day of the birth of the incarnate sun . The Romans called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn. The Winter Solstice was celebrated before The Hebrev Messiah walked the earth.
How can anybody thinks by taking a set date to honor a Pagan deity and
"Christianize" that same date it makes it alright in Father YHVH or The Messiah Eyes . That one of the most blaspheme thing to do according to the bible .
Deut 12:30
"take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are
destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, `How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.'
Deut 12 : 31
"You shall not worship YHVH your Father in that way; for every abomination to YHVH which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. 32 "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
