Without Beginning

[Josheb]

Christmas has nothing to do with Christ birth, and Easter is a Pagan holiday. There is about a weeks difference between Easter and Christ resurrection.

That is incorrect. It would be correct had the words "used to be" been included, but they were not. Christmas USED TO have nothing to di=o with Christ's birth. Easter USED TO BE a pagan holiday. Today, however, the gospel has taken the previously pagan holidays celebrating the birth of the sun and the fertility of spring and subjugated them to Christ and done it so thoroughly that nowadays 2.4 billion people on the planet celebrate the birth and resurrection of Christ and none of them give a single word of worship to the sun, the spring equinox, or any goddesses of fertility.

It's really very sad that you did not take the time and put in the effort to examine that nonsense when you first heard, are stuck in misguided, legalistic false-purity teachings that ignore the power of the gospel in human history, and think those who personally know Jesus would be persuaded by the dross of Post #20. That stuff is for controlling ignorant people.



That being said, you're off-topic in your own op. This op is about God being without beginning. You may have meant it to be about Jesus having/not having a beginning, but the lapse in grammar mucked that up and you haven't done anything to correct that mistake.

Without Beginning

Gods having no beginning or ending is based Paganism........

In my reply to the op I tried to draw attention to the problem of false dichotomy and the fact the God of the Bible is not a pagan God but the fact is all the pagan gods of the west had beginnings (and ends). The Greek and Romans gods came from other sources. Zeus was the offspring of Cronos and Rhea. He wasn't self-existent, without beginning or end. Odin the progeny of Bor and Jotunn. Depending on which myth is considered, Ra came from an island ot was sired by Hathor. Astarte, Ashtaroth, Aphrodite (Epigeius and Ge, Ptah or Ra, again depending on the myth consulted), Molech, Baal, and all the rest all have origin stories. All the pagan creation stories are also different from that which is asserted in the Bible and they do not, despite a belief in gods without beginning or end, actually have gods actually without begin or end.

And it does not take much effort to find that information.


Really bad op.
