The Origins Of Easter By Minister Speed

Easter- The goddess of fertility Ishtar, symbolized by a bunny rabbit, the most fertile of animals. 

READ THE STORY BELOW....

Easter is a day that is honored by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an “Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.

Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.

Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Savior?

The purpose of this blog is to help answer those questions, and to help those who seek truth to draw their own conclusions.

The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter."

"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.

In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah's son named Ham.

Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis. Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod."

After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King.

The Bible tells of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."

Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.

Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.

Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found.

That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called "Baal", the sun god.

Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth in the form of a flame, whether candle or lamp, when used in worship.

Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess.

Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.

She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.

She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.

This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Semiramis became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter", and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg."

Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive.

The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.

Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.

The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.

Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.

Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven", continued to build her mystery religion.

The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.

She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.

During this time, no meat was to be eaten.

Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped.

They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.

Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made.

It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.

Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.

Saint Nick and Easter are products of Roman Catholic Church

The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We also know that Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover, because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Some have wondered why the word "Easter" is in the the King James Bible.

It is because Acts, chapter 12, tells us that it was the evil King Herod, who was planning to celebrate Easter, and not the Christians.

The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart.

So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you, if you are a seeker of the truth.

We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits, hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon. These are all Antichrist activities!

Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.

These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian.

You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children.

These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan, and is still worshipped as the "Rising Sun" and his house is the "House of the Rising Sun."

How many churches have "sunrise services" on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East?

How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon.

These things are no joke, any more than Judgment day is a joke.

I pray to God that this blog will cause you to search for more truth.

We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by praying for you.

These are the last days, and it is time to repent, come out and be separate.

The 12 Step Christian By Minster Speed

This blog is for my brothers and sisters in the 12 Step communities. I've noticed that most 12 steppers that profess Christianity spend their time seeking spiritual growth on Facebook through pictures and cliches or traditional "saying".  

Sorry my brothers and sisters but the bible doesn't have pictures you can click and share to receive spiritual growth or oral psycho-babble that brings frothy emotional appeal which moves you emotionally.  I suggest you spend less time on Facebook, and more time studying the Holy Scripture.

If you really want to understand the plan of God for your life He said you would have to read and study His word.  God said "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God". Romans 10:17.  This is why He sends a preacher.  To speak, teach and reach through His word.  This is the only way to build faith.

You don’t build faith through trials and tribulation.  If this was the case we would all be spiritual giants.  Trials and tribulations build patience (James 1:2-3) but only if you are being faithful while you’re going through them.  This is why most people remain spiritual babes when they ought to be mature soldiers.  They can’t stand on God’s word when they are experiencing life’s troubling moments.

God said His word was alive.  It is the only living book ever written through men moved by the Holy Spirit of God.  God then built mankind on a system of growth in the body, mind, spirit, and soul so that we would be able to be spiritually reborn and mental renewed by His word.

You need to ask yourself the question: Are you built for this?

If not one single person agreed with anything posted on my page, books, or blog site I would die knowing that I received my calling from God and that my recovery from alcohol and drugs was not necessitated upon Salvation in Christ but faith in a power OUTSIDE of myself.  This could include anything such as meetings, service work, or any creative force that could help me get me out of myself.

Do you need to be Saved to go to the hospital? Do you need to be Saved to have brain surgery?

Then trust me when I say that just because you’re clean and sober does not mean you have found God.  It's a shame to get sober and go to hell when you die!!! When you found sobriety you got sober and being sober does not mean you found the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who worship Jesus the Christ.

After my initial decision to get help in recovery, it was intimated I would find God if I sought after Him.  People, places, and things were not sufficient enough to initiate spiritual growth.  I was a Christian and indeed only the Creator could suffice.

God has never changed.  He is the same God as He was before I got sober, He is the same God when I got sober, and He is the same God after I got sober.  The only one that had to change was me.  I had to conform to His ways to receive His promises.  I had to change everything!!!

Many of you Christians left your first love for a 12 step god that not only you created but one that you control and one that allows you to do, be and act anyway that you deem allowable in your imagination.  And listen to this…with no consequences as He is only a loving God. He doesn't offer any punishment or corrections at all.  How delusional is that?

The bible says in Romans 1:21-22 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened”.   22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

In Revelation 3:19 the bible goes on to say “I correct and discipline those I love, so be serious and repent”.  Only a terrible parent would offer a child a sick version of love that brought with it no corrections or consequences.

I hear you parrot the non-believer in the rooms stating you chose to call God (by the title) God, when God states in John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you".

 Stop speaking like a non-believer.  God says, “There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof is death”. Proverb 14:12.  You don’t have the power to choose God.  The bible says “ No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: John 6:44

 My hat is off to you.  How can your finite mind understand an infinite Christ without knowledge of who He is through Holy Scripture?  The bible says in Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”.

Even the Co-Founders of the 12 Step program appeared to understand the significance of who God through Jesus Christ was, and were not afraid of that gospel.  Listen to what Bill W the Co-founder wrote.

Despite all the protests that Bill Wilson never wrote of Jesus Christ, and despite those who have spurned Bill’s statement about the “Lord” and “cure” on page 191 of the Big Book, most don’t realize the truth of what we found and recorded in our recent title, The Conversion of Bill W. See link below.

http://www.dickb.com/aaarticles/Alcoholism-Could-Be-Cured.shtml

Now, thanks to a phone call with an assiduous A.A. history researcher and friend on the East Coast, our attention was called to a letter Bill wrote—dated 1940—and published in the A.A. General Service Conference-approved book, As Bill Sees It (New York, NY: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc., 1976). Thanks to our friend. And blessings to the readers.

Page 114 As Bill Sees It

No Personal Power

“At first, the remedy for my personal difficulties seemed so obvious that I could not imagine any alcoholic turning the proposition down were it properly presented to him. Believing so firmly that Christ can do anything, I had the unconscious conceit to suppose that He would do everything through me—right then and in the manner I chose. After six long months, I had to admit that not a soul had surely laid hold of the Master—not excepting myself.

“This brought me to the good healthy realization that there were plenty of situations left in the world over which I had no personal power—that if I was so ready to admit that to be the case with alcohol, so I must make the same admission with respect to much else. I would have to be still and know that He, not I, was God.”  LETTER, 1940

Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob never intended for this circus to take place in the 12 Step program and it is showing in our 3% success.  In the beginning the program recovery rate stayed between 91% and 97%.  There are many who remain clean and sober and show no spiritual growth beyond their sobriety which has cause many to state that this beautiful program does not work at all.

See Article below:

AA wrestles with its own True Roots and Spirituality.

These sober people lord and flaunt their TIME and CLEAN DATE as if it was something they had the power to pull off when everyone knows that “there is only one that has all power and that one is God” Pg 58/59 Big Book. Everyone knows that "TIME is not an indication of spiritual recovery."  I truly believe this has resulted in a satanic confusion in the rooms between those who have misused the Big Book and those who are illiterate and confusing others.  Anyone found worshiping Christ will find complete and utter intolerance.

I know there are many who will never accept Christ and that's your choice.  My ministry has always been an Inreach Ministry and I'm speaking to the ones that God has called according to His mercies and grace.  I am not afraid of the 12 step community of non-believers.  I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He has given us a second chance and we should not take this lightly as God has a side to His character that demands justice. 

Personally I cannot understand why churches rent space to Alcoholics Anonymous? Are churches really that desperate for money that they need to allow a group that cuts against the grain of their own beliefs, within their walls? Especially with regard to Christian based churches; The AA of today should be an affront to Christians everywhere.  

One would think that the AA concept of God would be enough to have most Christians kicking AA to the curb.  Today's AA view of God is that of self design.  A God created out of your own imagination.  For example, if a person decided to make their god Satan and they felt that the teachings of Satan should guide their life this is perfectly acceptable.

I sit in utter disbelief at so called professing Christians who are turning away from Christ for a creation within the confines of their own minds.  But there are worse issues regarding AA than just theological conflicts. Another major issue for a church should be the fact that many AA members are very hostile towards churches. They have sayings that mock organized religions:

"Who needs church; I get everything I need in AA."

"Church is for people looking for god, AA is for people who have found him."

"Church is for people who fear hell; AA is for people who have already been there."  Trust me there will be a reckoning and you will find that Hell indeed exist and you will find yourself there...SOBER !!!

If I belonged to a church that catered to a AA group I would be insulted by these statements. Lessons such as this highlight the fact that AA members think AA is superior to church. Not just superior, but condescending to the churches members.

There is no Salvation outside of Jesus Christ. Being sober in the 12 Step program does not mean you are saved and will rest in the presence of God in the thereafter.  

The 12 Steps were never intended to replace Salvation through Christ.  They were design to bring about recovery from alcoholism.  No person in their right mind if they had a broken arm, upon arrival to the hospital would change their god, and risk their salvation just to get their arm repaired.

Listen 12 stepper, Grace is unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification.

This is a virtue coming from God. A state of sanctification or justification enjoyed through divine grace, approval, favor, mercy and, pardon.

The words sanctification, justification, or regeneration all comes from the application of the blood of Jesus in and upon your life. Without this blood covenant there is no justification, regeneration or simply put. NO GRACE.

 I wrote this because many are claiming, choosing or creating their own god then picking from the Christian religious phrases, words, and concepts that have no integrity without Jesus Christ. 

This is what Jesus meant when He said in Matthew 7: 16 “Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles”?

This is a good rule to see if you are in the midst of a false prophet or if your Christianity is not real itself.  Grapes and Figs were two of the most common foods in Israel and they could have no stock if they grew among thorns or thistles.  The fruit are the true converts, the true disciples.  If you are a Christian leader then this is a mandate or part of the Great Commission.  A true teacher leads mean away from Satan to the light of Christ.  A true disciple lives with the Holy Scriptures in the light of the ways of God. Not within the confines of his own imagination.

Does your life produce a gospel that looks like Christ’s but is distorted with the thorns and thistles (common things of the world)?  Only through the lens of Jesus Christ and His Holy Scripture would you even be able to know this and make the necessary adjustment from your deception.

Speaking Christianese is a very popular spectacle in America at this time and in the 12 Step rooms many have taken this concept to the full and dangerous extreme.  Using words like faith, grace, saved, favor, cleansed, healed, and many other concepts which without Christ would be futile and to some degree insane.

The above words come after one accepts the Blood of Jesus upon their life.  To be a Christian is not done in word but in Power.  

Grab your bibles and let’s grow in Christ.

I leave you with the beauty and grace of Holy Scripture.  I promise that if you read and digest it your life will change.  The word of God is not locked into the ancient of days, nor is it conditioned by man.  His word is both timely and timeless.

Proverbs 13:16-25 New Living Translation (For easier digestion).

16 Wise people think before they act; fools don't and even brag about it! 17 An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, but a reliable messenger brings healing. 18 If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you will be honored. 19 It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools will not turn from evil to attain them. 20 Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm. 21 Trouble chases sinners, while blessings chase the righteous! 22 Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth passes to the godly. 23 A poor person's farm may produce much food, but injustice sweeps it all away. 24 If you refuse to discipline your children, it proves you don't love them; if you love your children, you will be prompt to discipline them. 25 The godly eat to their hearts' content, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

Does scriptures speak of a Literal Hell? By Minister Speed

No one really wants to talk about hell. The person who finds some kind of satisfaction in exploring its horrors must have a problem. Many do not wish to believe that some will suffer eternal torment. One survey over ten years ago indicated that 58% Methodists, 60% Episcopalians, 54% Presbyterians, 35% American Baptists, 22% American Lutherans deny it is a specific place after death.  It is not difficult to understand why some choose to believe there is no such thing as eternal torment. 

After all, such a fact would have dramatic implications in the lives of many people who not only deny the existent of God through Christ, but those who deny that such a terrible place exist at all!!!

The cults have generally tended to distort biblical teachings on eternal punishment: Christian Science believes there is no final judgment. The Jehovah’s Witnesses hold that lost men will have a second chance and that those who reject this offer of salvation will be annihilated. Mormonism maintains that all non-Mormons will be sentenced to eternal torment, along with those Mormons who are thus judged worthy of it. Unity refuses to believe in the finality of death, but believes that through mind action we resurrect ourselves from the dead. Modern theology insists that a loving God could never subject anyone to such punishment.

The doctrine of eternal punishment is one that is essential to the Christian faith. Our Lord taught that the Holy Spirit would convince men of such judgment:  “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment” (John 16:8).

To the person who finds the whole subject of Hell and judgment distasteful, and who refuses to believe it, even if Jesus Christ taught it, I ask the question: What about that little phrase “WHAT IF”? What if there is a Hell and everything that you know about God has come from your own understanding and is not the truth found in Holy Scriptures?

What if you have never truly read, studied, or invoked the One True God and just gleamed information from those around you who did the same thing?

What if you have rejected God and are living an illusion which has catastrophic consequences not only for you but your kids, families and those you think you are helping spiritually? 

What if your erroneous belief held eternal damnation for not only you, but your children and their future generations. 




Do you really believe that you can create a god of your own understanding and mental belief, build a foundation and lifestyle from that, and decide who and what God is?

Do you not realize that in order to approach God you must first believe that He exist, and then come to know Him in the form and after the likeness of Jesus Christ? 

 Did you know you were asked to see where religious people were correct?  

Did you know that you can’t do that without studying religion and communicating with them and actually learning from them?

Did you know that any concept about God through Jesus Christ outside of living this lifestyle wholeheartedly and filled with the Holy Spirit would make one a hypocrite? 

Do you believe that you can pick and choose the parts of the bible that make sense to you and disregard the rest as if they were non-existent?

Did you know the devil believes in God and trembles?

Let’s see one of the more well know bible messages on hell:

Luke 16:19-31, He spoke of Hades/Hell, and thus of Sheol (its Hebrew synonym):

“Now there was a certain rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, gaily living in splendor every day. And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.

Now it came about that the poor man died and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue; for I am in agony in this flame.’

But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, in order that those who wish to come over from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, Father, that you send him to my father’s house—for I have five brothers— that he may warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’

But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ But he said, ‘No, Father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead’” (Luke 16:19-31).

Prior to death, conditions were completely reversed from those after death. The rich man had all the pleasures his wealth could afford; Lazarus, in contrast, had a meager and miserable existence. It would appear that the rich man did little to ease the pain and misery of this beggar Lazarus.

We may be troubled by the contrast between the rich and the poor here. Why are we not told that Lazarus was a true believer in God, while the rich man was an infidel? The context of Luke 16 helps to answer our question. The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were scoffing at Jesus as He taught (16:14). In the context of this chapter, they were unbelievers. 

Their unbelief was demonstrated by their love of money but lack of concern for the poor (Matthew 23:14.). In telling this parable, Jesus clearly alluded to them, in contrast to those true believers in Jesus, whom the Pharisees disdained (Luke 18:9).

Men and women, brothers and sisters the bible clearly states “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverb 3:5

It’s time to stop rejecting the One True God for some mental belief you may have developed to initially get sober in the 12 Step Programs.

 Getting sober has nothing to do with Christian Salvation.  Many in the 12 Step community will find themselves sober and in Hell!!!

The bible states “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”. Hosea 4:6

It’s time to return to God.  He is a loving God.  His love is without limits but he not working for us, we serve Him.  He cannot be understood outside of scriptures which reveal Him as Jesus Christ.

 

I leave you with several Biblical scriptures that will reveal to you the full gospel of Jesus Christ.  I hope this message will be taken in the loving spirit that I wrote it. God Bless !!!!

2 Peter 2:4-9, 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
⁵ And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
⁶ And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
⁷ And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
⁸ (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
