    I have no desire for paganism. I have no desire to worship any god but YHWH. Despite the past meanings of easter, it no longer has anything to do with paganism. Words change meanings in a living language and English is a living language.

    As long as you continue to proclaim falsehoods, I will not leave you alone. As long as you are accusing people who are worshiping the one True God of idolatry, I will not leave you alone. When you stop proclaiming extra-biblical requirements, then I will leave you alone.

    What you also will leave us alone when you quit proclaiming extra-biblical requirements?

    I say blaming others for celebrating the resurrection of Christ on Easter is insulting Christ, by making Christ out to be just like the pharasees He so roundly condemned. Christ is not like that to be insulted by an obvious honor just because of some kind of trivial naming history.

    Can you call Easter as Satan's Day?
    Then can you say that you are glogifying Jesus?

    Easter came from Ishtar which is a subdivision of Satan.
    If you do have another origin of the Word Easter, please let me know it.

    Anybody who has been to a Christian church on Easter Sunday wouldn't even ask such a silly question.

    Perhaps we should just call it "Pascha" like the Orthodox Church does and be done with it. (At least "Pascha" can't be miscontrued for the name of some alleged pagan deity.)

    That's not the issue. All are permitted religious liberty to do silly things. The issue is whether commemorating Christ's ressurection on Easter Sunday is idolatry, or whether the practice of commemorating Christ's ressurection is scripturally forbidden. You've come up with absolutely nothing, from scripture or otherwise, to support your claims.

    You are calling Day of Resurrection as Satan's Day! because Easter is originated from Ishtar which is a subdivision of Satan, as I told you before.

    I don't care where it originated. I care what is means here and now. Here and now, Easter Sunday is the day Christ's resurrection is celebrated. Heck, the names of every day of the week originated from false deities. But they don't mean those anymore.

    So unless you refrain from calling days of the week by their names, you haven't a leg to stand on. And even if you do so refrain, you still don't have a leg to stand on.

    If you really commemorate the Resurrection Of Jesus, why don't you call the day Day of Resurrection?

    That's not the issue. The issue is whether callign it Easter is a sin. It is not. Period.

    Celebrating Day of Resurrection as Easter Day is wrong. Period.

    You have failed wholely to provide scriptural support for that claim.

    At our church we call that particular Sunday Resurrection Sunday. Now that I think of it that would be wrong, too, blending the sacredness of the Resurrection with the paganism found in the day named after the sun. Wish I had checked with you guys before we had the sign painted.

    Eliyahy, is observing "Sunday" (the pagan day of the Sun) an insult to Christ?

    What about using numbers (1,2,3,4,5,...)? They're arabic numbers. We got our numbers from arabic heathens and idolaters.
