Femi Aribisala: Easter's Pagan Roots and Biblical Rejection

In the article, Femi Aribisala asserts that Easter is not recognized by God and highlights that the term "Easter" does not exist in the original scriptures, being a substitution in the King James Bible for the word "Passover." He references Acts 12:4, where the word "Easter" appears, arguing that it was improperly included in the translation. Aribisala traces the origins of Easter to pagan traditions, specifically linking it to the worship of the goddess Ashtoreth, who is associated with fertility and sun worship.

He cites various biblical passages, such as Jeremiah 7:17-20 and Ezekiel 8:16-17, to illustrate God's disapproval of idol worship and the incorporation of pagan practices into worship. He further critiques the observance of Lent and Easter traditions, asserting they are not scriptural and have roots in ancient pagan rituals.

The article emphasizes the need for Christians to return to biblical teachings rather than adopting traditions that provoke God's anger.
