Censored teachings from the Bible----once the law of the land in America.

The word stranger in these writings is translated from Hebrew "zuwr" meaning racial alien, or "ger", visiting racial kin. Unless identified otherwise the word stranger in these verses means racial alien, "zuwr".
From R Hoskins:


1. The Word is God.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1. "And the WORD was made flesh, and dwellt among us." John 1:14.


2. The Word was given only to Israel.

"He showed his word ... his statutes and judgements unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgements, they have not known them". Ps 147:19-20.


3. (1) God the Word knows only Israel. (2) He was sent to Israel only.
(3) God forbids sending the Word to others. (4) The God of Israel is for Israel alone.

(1) 'O children of Israel ... you only have I known of all the families of the earth." Amos3:1-2. (2)"I was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to them alone." Matt 15:24. (3) "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not unto the way of the Gentiles, and unto any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matt 10: 5-6. (4) 'For thou are not sent ... but to the house of Israel". Ezek 3:5.


4. God commands Israel to go into all the world to every nation and teach every creature of Israel.

"Go ye therefore and teach all nations ... whatsoever things I have commanded you. "Matt 28: 18-19 (I am sent to the last sheep of the house of Israel." Matt 15:24. 'Read this law before all Israel ... and thy stranger (ger- visiting racial kinsmen.)". Deut 31:11-12.


5. Only true Israel can show the THREE PROOFS OF ISRAEL: (1) made in God's image. (2) Adamic descent. (3) Isaac's name.

(1)'God created man (adam) in his own image." Gen 1:37. (2) the Hebrew word for "man" is "Adam". It means "blush" red. "Show blood in the face", Strong's Concordance. (3) "In Isaac shall thy name be called." Romans 9:7, Son's of Isaac, Isaac-sons, "Saxons".

An Israelite must bear these 3 identifying marks--God's image (Adam-blush-red), Isaac's name. YOU probably bear these proofs. YOU are Israel, YOU are made in the image of God, YOU are God's servant, YOU are expected to obey the WORD which is GOD! (see #1)


6. Saxons are forbidden to bear the name "Israel" today.

In ancient Palastine and before being scattered over the world, God said he would give Israel a new name: "The Lord God shall ... call his servants by another name." Isaiah 65:15, Hos 2:17. They would bear Isaac's name -
"In Isaac shall thy name by called." Romans 9:7.





7. (1) Not all who claim to be Israel are Israel. (2) Many are anti-Christ.

(1) "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27. (2) "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Christ. IIJohn 7.


8. (1) The Word says the national media lies. (2) Its newscasters are liars also.

(1) Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?" IJohn 2:22. The national media has been bought and is owned and controlled by strangers who deny that Jesus is the Christ. (2) "The disciple is not above his master." Matt. 10:24.....see also #21.


9. There is only one kind of love.

"If you love me obey my commandments.." John 14:15. "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments". II John 6.
Obediance proves love.


10. God requires gun ownership.

"He said unto them ... he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one." Luke 22:36-38. "Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold it is written in the book of Jasher." II Sam 1:18.


11. The Word forbids a stranger to preach in or approach a temple of God.

"When the tabernacle is to be pitched ... the stranger (racial alien) that comes nigh shall be put to death." Numbers 1:31.


12. The Word forbids (1) accepting strangers or (2) baptizing "honorary Christians" into the nation of Israel.

(1) "A bastard (mamzer--mixed breed, mongrel) shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord (Israel)." Deut 23:2. (2) Gentiles shall ye take...purifying them (baptizing them) with an unlawful purification." Testament of Levi 4:17 (see # 3,3).


13. (1) interracial marriage is forbidden. (2) it is punished with plagues and is a capital offense.

"Thou shalt not take a wife ... of the Caananites ... but thou shall go ... to my kindred, and take a wife." Gen 24: 3-4. "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son." Deut 7:3. "They have dealt treacherously with the Lord: for they have begotten strange (zuwr, racial alien) children." Hosea 5:7. "Now it came to pass, when they heard the law, that they seperated from Israel all the mixed (mongrel) multitude".
Nehemia 13:3, Josh 23:12-13. (2) "They provoked HIM to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake upon them. Then stood up Phineas, and executed judgement: and so the plague was stayed." Ps 106: 29-31, No 25: 11- 13, Enoch 46: 23- 24, Jasher 85: 61-63.


14. The Word forbids contracts and business deals with strangers.

"Make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their alters." Judges 2:2. "Thou shall make no covenant with them." Deut 7:2. "If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger (racial alien) thou are snared." Pr 6:1-2. "What part hath he who believeth with an infidel? ...come out from among them and be ye seperate." II Cor 6:15-17. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed." Amo 3:3.


15. Living among strangers (racial aliens) is forbidden lest you learn their ways.

"They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me." Ex 23:33. They ... were mingled among the heathen and learned their works." Ps 160: 35-36.


16. The Word forbids strangers ruling over Israelites.

"Thou mayest not set a stranger (racial alien) over thee which is not thy brother. Deut 17:15. "Their nobles shall be of themselves, and their govenor shall procede from the midst of them." Jer 30:21. "Thou shall reign over many nations but they shall not reign over thee." Deut 15:6.


17. (1) Eating with brothers who violate the law is forbidden. (2) Eating with strangers is forbidden.

(1) 'If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator (other laws than God's Law), or a railer (temper, troublemaker) , or a drunkard, or an extortioner (userer or robber); with such a one, no not eat." I Cor 5:11. (2) "Withdraw from among the Gentiles and do not eat with them, and do not according to their actions , and be not their companion, for their actions are unclean and all their ways are defiled." Jubilees 22:17





18. Do not give away Israel's Inheritance.

"It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs." Matt 15:24,26.



19. There is no hope for those who love strangers.

"There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers (racial alien), and after them I will go." Jeremiah 2:25.
Shield your emotions. Help only as a 'good Samaritan',
then depart. Keep the sheep from the jaws of the wolves. (See #18).


20. Usury is a capital crime.

"He that hath not given forth upon usury ...he shall surely live ... hath given forth upon usury he shall surely die." Ezek, 18: 8-13. One may receive interest from a stranger or his bank. "Unto a stranger one mayest lend upon usury" Deut 23:20. (the excption to #14).


21. False witnesses who encourage others to break God's Law are to recieve the same punishment as the actual lawbreakers.

"If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong ... Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother ...
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Deut 19: 16-21. (see #8)


22. (1) Murderers and (2) homsexuals merit capital punishment.

"Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death." Num. 35: 29-30. (2) "If a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Lev 20:13.


23. Abortion is forbidden.

"My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret."
Ps 139: 13-16, No 8:17. "I will bring evil ... because they ... burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings." Jer 19: 3-5. "They sacrificed their sons and their daughters ... Therefore ... they that hated them ruled over them. " Psalm 106: 37-41, (No 8:17, Jer 19:3-5, Jer 7:9). see #22.


24. Saxons may not war against Saxons.

"Ye shall not ... fight against your brethren the children of Israel." I Kings 12:24, Lev 19:18. THE ONLY EXCEPTION: "When any person would compel us to break our laws, then it is that we choose to go to war." Josephus, Against Apion 2:38. He who would persuade us to break God's law is the enemy.


25. (1) God watches over strangers, but (2) he sent his son, the Word made flesh, to save lost Israel.

(1) "Souls of beasts which the Lord created ... will accuse man, if he feeds them ill." Enoch 58:7. "It is not meet to take the children's bread,and cast it to the dogs ... yet the dogs eat of the crumbs. Matt 15: 2-6. "He who does any beast injury ... defiles his own soul." Enoch 59:6. "The son of man is come to save that which was lost." Matt 18:11. "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matt 5:24. "I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me."
John 17: 9. (See #12 and #19).


26. All Israelites (1) know the Law, and are (2) kings and (3)priests.

"I will put my law in ... their hearts: and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Jer 31:33. (2) "He hath made us kings and (3) priests unto God". Rev 1:6. (He promised us land to rule as kings and priests ...see #27 & #28).


27. (1) The land is to be divided and (2) never sold.

(1) "The land shall be divided." Num 26:53. (2) "The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine." Lev 25:23.
Every Saxon is promised land. A place to live, to bury his fathers, to plow or not, to leave to his son and his son's son, a place to rule as king and priest under God's law. (See #26, #27).


28. Taxes are forbidden.

"Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him,
Of strangers." (Greek: allotrios, foreign, not akin).... Then are the children free." Matt 17:25-26.
Kings aren't taxed. A taxed man isn't a king. Taxed land cannot be owned. A missed tax payment reveals its true owner (see #26, #27).


29. Monopolies are forbidden.

"Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, and they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth." Isaiah 5:8.
(Monopolies destroy God's plan. See #26 #27 #28).


30. God will destroy the land tolerating lawlessness.

"If thou will not ... do all the words of the law ... the Lord will make ... every sickness, an every plague ... until thou be destroyed." Deut 28: 58-66.





(Christianity is civil law & personal ethics.


Withoutthe law, statutes,& judgements Christianity does not exist. -AF)

Very good post! Thanks.


I have never heard a sermon on these. Only small fragments.


501(c)(3) churches (most churches) cannot and will not preach and teach these laws and commandments.


Gov't policy forbids it. The IRS would send in the US Marshalls, or tanks.


Our USA gov't hates Jesus Christ and Biblical commandments.


This post demonstrates the glaring contrast between light and darkness.


We are to be children of the light.


The folks who join 501(c)(3) churches are children of a lesser god.

Greetings & Thank you Uncle Dudley.


I agree. It occurred to me some time back, that the religious establishment, organized religion is not the lesser player in the mafia-like control mechanism, in use by the World Order.


Organized religion is at least the chief partner with the secular forces & perhaps even feign a subordinate status in order to appear as the whipping post of thesecular political factions.


Religion runs a close race with the media &public educationin terms of influence & shaping public opinion.


All of these factions have worked in concert to stifle natural nationalism.


The good news is they are failing & the awakened minority is preparing to build a new foundation upon the Rock of Truth.Edited by: aryanfreeman

28. Taxes are forbidden.

"Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him,
Of strangers." (Greek: allotrios, foreign, not akin).... Then are the children free." Matt 17:25-26.
Kings aren't taxed. A taxed man isn't a king. Taxed land cannot be owned. A missed tax payment reveals its true owner (see #26, #27).


Does this prove that our Presidents and Congress Critters aren't really the gov't but merely puppets? The people who are elected in our scam, phoney elections pay taxes, (or, are suppose to).


If kings don't pay taxes and these 'elected' officials do, then they are not the ones who rule us.


Who then does not pay taxes? The Federal Reserve. (there may be others, too)

You've brought up one of the pivotal passages bearing on modern life.

Every country today -- and lots of cities, counties and states -- lives to bleed its citizens. They once had America to show them the right way, but that was then and this is now.

Article below from the Patriot Cannon newsletter of Dr. Robert Clarkson's Patriot Network organization which sometimes advertises in TNT. I believe it was the 12/07 issue -- easier for me to drop it in here than look it up there.

<x-tab style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"></x-tab>Last issue, we discussed the banal public notion of Thanksgiving Day with its exciting reality as founded in the Scriptures and American tradition.

<x-tab style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"></x-tab>Many patriots have learned, as they matured in knowledge of the real world, that Christmas as we know it is not only misguided or commercialized, it has nothing to do with true Christianity.

Some of you are perhaps not even believers in any higher power -- but I suspect that even granting that fact, you will find cause for exultation in the story of Christ's entry into the world and its full, uncensored, politically </span><i style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">in[/i]correct meaning if you give it a fair hearing.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
<x-tab style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"></x-tab>WHY was Jesus Christ born -- to give humanity a reason to put cookies on the table by the fireplace each Dec. 25? To model saintliness?

Easter is not Christian but Pagan - rooted in Babylon's ancient religion


In 2005, Passover began at sundown, Saturday (Sabbath day), April 23, and continued
until sundown, Sunday, April 24. Passover is based upon the biblical (God-given)
lunar calendar (Leviticus chapter 23).

Easter in 2005 was observed on Sunday, March 27 (almost a month before Passover).
Easter is based on the solar calendar and the spring equinox, observed on the first Sunday
after the full moon on or after the spring equinox.


If Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with His disciples (Luke 22:1, 15) before His
arrest, crucifixion the next day, and His rising from the grave on the third day hence,
after His death (Matthew 16:21, 1 Corinthians 15:4), then how is it, in 2005 that Easter,
the alleged celebration of the Resurrection, was celebrated almost a month before the
observance of Passover ?!! Answer: because Easter is not the day that Jesus rose
from the dead ! Jesus actually arose from the dead on the feast of "Firstfruits"
(Leviticus 23; 1 Corinthians 15:20,23), not the pagan observance of "Easter/Ishtar's Day" !


This year in 2007, Passover begins at sundown, Monday, April 2, and continues
until sundown, Tuesday, April 3. Easter in 2007 will be observed on Sunday, April 8
(over five days after Passover).


In 2008, Passover will begin at sundown, Saturday, April 19, and will continue until
sundown, Sunday, April 20. Easter in 2008 will be observed on Sunday, March 23
(almost one month before Passover).


Easter is not the day of the Messiah's Resurrection, He arose from the dead three days
and three nights (Matthew 12:39,40) after He was crucified, on the feast of "First Fruits."
There is no way that a "Good Friday" crucifixion and a Sunday morning resurrection
can come out to three days and three nights between the Crucifixion and Resurrection.


Easter is not Christian; it is Pagan, a "religious" invention of the minds of men, rooted
in the pagan false religion of ancient historical Babylon. Biblical observances are
Passover and First Fruits (Leviticus 23:4,5,9-14; Matthew 26; Mark 14; 1 Corinthians 5:7,8).

Why do you believe the things you believe, and do the things you do? The chances are
you never stopped to ask yourself that question. You have been taught since childhood
to accept Easter as the chief of the Christian holidays.

You have supposed it is part of the true Christian religion to observe Lent, "Holy Week,"
"Good Friday," to buy hot cross buns at he bakery, to have colored eggs, to dress up
and go to Church Easter Sunday, perhaps to attend an Easter sunrise service!

Because of the "sheep" instinct in humans, most of us believe a lot of things that are not true.
Most of us do a lot of things that are wrong, supposing these things be right, or even sacred!


ISHTAR, the PAGAN GODDESS

What is the meaning of the name "Easter"? You haven been led to suppose the word means
"resurrection of Christ." For 1600 years the western world has been taught that Christ rose
from the dead on Sunday morning. But that is merely one of the fables the apostle Paul warned
readers of the New Testament to expect. The resurrection did not occur on Sunday! For the
astonishing proof setting forth the exact time of the Resurrection, write for our free booklet,
"The Resurrection."

The name "Easter" is merely the slightly changed English spelling of the name of the ancient
Assyrian goddess Ishtar, pronounced by the Assyrians exactly as we pronounce "Easter."
The Babylonian name of this goddess was Astarte, consort of Baal, the Sun god, whose worship
is denounced by The Almighty in the Bible as the most abominable of all pagan idolatry.

Look up the word "Easter" in Webster's dictionary. You will find: "AS. (Anglo-Saxon), from name
of an old Teuton goddess of spring".

In the large volume Hastings Bible Dictionary, only six lines are given to the name "Easter"
because it occurs only once in the Bible and that only in the King James translation. Says
Hastings: "Easter, used in Authorized Version as the translation of 'Pascha' in Acts 12:4 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;),
'intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people'. Revised Version has substituted
correctly 'the Passover.'"


APOSTLES OBSERVED PASSOVER

The World Almanac, 1950 edition, page 704, says: "In the second century, AD., Easter Day
was, among Christian in Asia Minor" (that is, in the Churches at Ephesus, Galatia, etc... the
so-called "Gentile" churches raised up by the Apostle Paul) "the 14th of Nisan, the seventh
month of the Jewish calendar." In other words, the 14th day of the first month of the sacred
calendar, and it was not then called by the name of the pagan deity "easter", but by the
BIBLE name "PASSOVER".

Passover, the days of unleavened bread, Pentecost, and holy days God had ordained forever
were all observed by Jesus, and the early apostles, and converted Gentile Christians
(Acts 2:1; 12:3; 20:6; 18:21 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;); 1Co 5:7-8 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;); Acts 20:16 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;); 1Co 16:8 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;)). Passover, is a memorial of the
crucifixion of Christ. Passover, observed by the early true Church, occurred not on Sunday or
any fixed day of the week, but a calendar day of the year. The day of the week varies from
year to year.

Easter is one of the pagan days Paul warned Gentile converts they must not return to observing.

How, then, did this pagan festival enter into and fasten itself upon a professing Christianity?
That is a surprising story, but first, notice the true origin and nature of Easter.


ITS CHALDEAN ORIGIN

Easter, as Hislop says: ("The Two Babylons,") "bear its Chaldean origins on its very forehead.
Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the 'queen of heaven,' whose name,
as pronounced by the people of Nineveh, was evidently identical with that now in common use in
this country."

The ancient gods of the pagans had many different names. While this goddess was called
Astarte in Babylon, it appears on Assyrian monuments found by Layard in excavations at Nineveh
as Ishtar (Layard's Nineveh and Babylon, page 629). Both were pronounced "Easter". Likewise,
Beltis, or Bel (referred to in the Old Testament) also was called Mooch. It was for sacrificing to
Moloch (1 Kings 11:1-11 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;), especially verse 7, where Moloch is called an abomination) and other
pagan gods that The Eternal condemned Solomon, and rended away the Kingdom of Israel from
his son.

In the ancient Chaldean idolatrous Sun worship, Baal was the Sun god, Astarte his consort, or wife.
And Astarte is the same as Ishtar, or the English Easter.

Says Hislop: "The festival, of which we read in church history, under the name Easter, in the third
or forth centuries, was quite a different festival from that now observed in the Roman (and Protestant) church, and at that time was not known by any such name as Easter. IT WAS CALLED PASSOVER,
and was very early observed by Christians.... That festival agreed originally with the time of the Jewish Passover, when Christ was crucified.... That festival was not idolatrous, and was preceded by no Lent."


WHERE DID WE GET LENT?

"It ought to be known," wrote Cassianus in the fifth century, "that the observance of the forty days
(Lent) had no existence, so long as the perfection of that primitive Church remained inviolate."

Jesus observed no Lent. The apostles and the early true Church of God observed no Lenten season.
Then how did this observance originate?

"The forty days' abstinence of the 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. Such a Lent was held by the pagan Mexicans, in honor of the sun.... Such Lent
was observed in Egypt (Wilkinson's Egyptians). This Egyptian Lent of forty days was held expressly
in commemoration of Adonis or Osiris, the great mediatorial god." (the Two Babylons, by Hislop,
pages 104 and 105, and Sabean Researches, by Landseer, p. 112).

Do you realize what has happened? God Almighty commanded His people to observe the
PASSOVER FOREVER! (Exo 12:24 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;)). This command was given while the Israelites were still in
Egypt, prior to the Old Covenant, or the Law or Moses! It pictured, before the Crucifixion, Christ's
death for the remission of our sins. At His last Passover, Jesus changed the emblems used, from
the blood of a lamb and eating it's roasted body, to the bread and wine.

Jesus did not abolish Passover ....He merely CHANGED the emblems, or symbols used. All of the apostles of Christ, and the true Christians of the first century true Church, observed it. On the 14th
day, of the first month, of the sacred calendar. It is now a MEMORIAL of Christ's death. Reaffirming,
year by year, on it's anniversary, the true Christian's FAITH in the blood of Christ for the remission
of sin, and the broken body of Christ for physical healing.

But what has happened? DO YOU REALIZE IT? All western nations have been deceived into
dropping the festival God ordained forever to commemorate the death of the true Saviour for
our sins, and substituting in its place the PAGAN festival, commemorating the counterfeit
"saviour" and mediator of Baal, the SUN GOD, named after the mythical Ishtar, his wife ..actually,
none other than the ancient Semirimus, who palmed herself off as the wife of the sun-god, the
idolatrous "QUEEN OF HEAVEN."


THIS is NOT Christian! IT IS PAGAN TO THE CORE!

Yet scores of millions of Americans are deceived into observing this form of heathen idolatry,
under the delusion they are honoring Jesus Christ the Son of the Heavenly Father!

Easter does not honor Christ! And yet, have you not been, like a blind sheep, following the other
millions in this customs? "The times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth to
come to repentance." (Acts 17:30 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;))


Hot Cross Buns and Dyed Eggs

But, did you know the hot cross buns, and dyed Easter eggs also figured in the idolatrous
Chaldean rites, just as they do in Easter observance today?

Yes, these are pagan, too. The "buns," known by that identical name, were used in the
worship of the days of Cecrops, the founder of Athens, 1500 years before Christ.
(The Two Babylons pgs 107-108).

"One species of sacred bread, which used to be offered to the gods, was of great antiquity,
and called Boun," says Bryant, Mythology, Vol. 1, p. 373.

It will astonish you, but it's true! One of the reasons God drove the Jews into Babylonian
captivity was this very idolatry; their whole families joined in this idolatrous worship, in
making and offering HOT CROSS BUNS!

Read the entire 7th chapter of Jeremiah. Here you will find God's stern sentence upon Judah,
thru Jeremiah the prophet, "If you really amend your life and doings," God warns them, "I will
allow you to remain in this place (Palestine) for a time." But they would not listen. Then " I will
cast you out of my sight," says God to Judah. And to Jeremiah He says, " Seest thou not what
they do in the cities of Judah...?

"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough,
TO MAKE CAKES TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN... that they may provoke me to anger....
Therefore thus saith the Eternal God: Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon
this place, upon man, upon beast... and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched." (Verse 18-20)

The Hebrew word for "cakes" as Jeremiah originally wrote it is "kavvan," and really means "BUNS."
The word "bun," says Hislop, seems to have been derived from this word. It is used nowhere else
in the Bible, except Jeremiah 44:19 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;), where again, the same idolatrous worship to the queen of the
heaven is mentioned. Every other place in the Bible where the English word "cakes' is used, a
different Hebrew word was used in the original.

Jeremiah was referring to HOT CROSS BUNS--- exactly the same kind hundreds of you who read
this have been buying and eating at "Easter season!"

The origin of the Easter egg is just as clear. It is recorded in Davies' Druids, p. 208, that the ancient
Druids bore an egg as the sacred emblem of their idolatrous order. On p. 207, same history, it is
recorded that in the mysteries of Bacchus, as celebrated in Athens, part of the idolatrous ceremony consisted in the consecration of an egg. Hindu fables celebrate their mundane egg as of a golden
color. It has been ancient customs in Japan to make their sacred egg a hard brazen color. In China,
dyed or painted eggs are used on "sacred" heathen festivals. In the idolatry of ancient Egypt and
Greece, eggs were used in their religious rites.

WHY do Americans, who believe themselves to be Christians, dye eggs at Easter? Do they
suppose the BIBLE ordained, or commands, this heathen custom? THERE IS NOT A WORD
OF IT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Certainly Christ did not start it, and the apostles and early
Christians did none of it!

Then WHY SHOULD YOU DO IT TODAY? Why follow heathenism and try to conceive yourself
you are a Christian ? God calls such things ABOMINATION!


How Easter Crept into the Church

Such is the origin, and early history of Easter. How, then, was this pagan festival injected into
the professing Christian religion, as a substitute for an ordinance of God?

Before revealing briefly the astonishing account of this great deception, two facts must be firmly
fixed in mind.

First, Jesus and the apostles foretold, not a universal, wide-spread popular growth of the
true New Testament Church, but a FALLING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, on part of the
great majority. Prophesying a popular, universal FALLING AWAY from the faith once delivered.
To the Thessalonians Paul stated, "the mystery of iniquity doth already work," and only some
30 years after the Church began! He referred to the very "Chaldean Mysteries," of which Easter
and Christmas were the two chief festivals! (2Th 2:7 (http://www.albatrus.org/english/festivals/easter/java&#115;cript ;))

Second, although Jesus said the gates of hell would never prevail against His Church, yet it is
everywhere prophesied thru the New Testament as the "Little Flock"--- never as great, large,
popular, universal church.

This is the very fact that the world does not realize today!
