Yeah well we know he was pretty nutty and some in his day claimed he was gay

He was a pretty fruity guy



I go by what the Lord teaches in His Word.
Do you have children?
If such is the case, did you just tell them to learn words from asking the Lord and tell them to never look at a dictionary?
Tell them to never go to school and just ask God for the meaning of basic words?

Again, this simply sounds like Anti-knowledge and it is insane.
Your taking advantage of a computer and other things in life of people who used knowledge from books to make these things. Then you turn around and attack knowledge in books as if it was somehow your enemy. Your not making any sense.
Is it possible that there may be times that your thoughts are wrong and it was not God speaking to you?


the Easter story comes from the Sumerian legend of Damuzi (Tammuz) and his wife Inanna (Ishtar), an epic myth called “The Descent of Inanna” found inscribed on cuneiform clay tablets dating back to 2100 BC. When Tammuz dies, Ishtar is grief–stricken and follows him to the underworld. In the underworld, she enters through seven gates, and her worldly attire is removed. "Naked and bowed low" she is judged, killed, and then hung on display. In her absence, the earth loses its fertility, crops cease to grow and animals stop reproducing. Unless something is done, all life on earth will end.
Did you get this from a book? The internet? You said before that you get knowledge from the Lord. Did God tell you these things?
While anything is possible for God, I highly doubt that He did tell you this information.

Again, your logic is flawed.

You most likely got this info from some book or website.
But did you ever bother to verify? Did you ever think that the Greek word never really had a history tied to this kind of thing?
Would it hurt you to check?

Oh, but maybe your too busy of thinking about how King James did a bunch of things he never really did in life.



After Inanna has been missing for three days her assistant goes to other gods for help. Finally one of them Enki, creates two creatures who carry the plant of life and water of life down to the Underworld, sprinkling them on Inanna and Damuzi, resurrecting them, and giving them the power to return to the earth as the light of the sun for six months. After the six months are up, Tammuz returns to the underworld of the dead, remaining there for another six months, and Ishtar pursues him, prompting the water god to rescue them both. Thus were the cycles of winter death and spring life.

The Sumerian goddess Inanna is known outside of Mesopotamia by her Babylonian name, "Ishtar". In ancient Canaan Ishtar is known as Astarte, and her counterparts in the Greek and Roman pantheons are known as Aphrodite and Venus.

the story of Inanna and Damuzi is just one of a number of accounts of dying and rising gods that represent the cycle of the seasons and the stars. For example, the resurrection of Egyptian Horus; the story of Mithras, who was worshipped at Springtime; and the tale of Dionysus, resurrected by his grandmother. Among these stories are prevailing themes of fertility, conception, renewal, descent into darkness, and the triumph of light over darkness or good over evil.

Easter as a Celebration of the Goddess of Spring

A related perspective is that, rather than being a representation of the story of Ishtar, Easter was originally a celebration of Eostre, goddess of Spring, otherwise known as Ostara, Austra, and Eastre. One of the most revered aspects of Ostara for both ancient and modern observers is a spirit of renewal.

Celebrated at Spring Equinox on March 21, Ostara marks the day when light is equal to darkness, and will continue to grow. As the bringer of light after a long dark winter, the goddess was often depicted with the hare, an animal that represents the arrival of spring as well as the fertility of the season.
Did the Lord tell you this too? Did an early form of AI maybe alter this book in order to get you to believe it?
How does this tie to the actual Greek?
Can no counter information from any other source ever challenge you here?
No English dictionary can challenge you?

Again, this simply sounds like Anti-knowledge and it is insane.

No, I'm anti wisdom of man being taught as though it were the wisdom of God.

It is not.

While anything is possible for God, I highly doubt that He did tell you this information.

It's common knowledge the there are pagan religions that have "easter" as a time to celebrate their demonic beliefs.

Jesus going to the Cross for our sins and being raised from the dead is the REAL passover that the passover in the old testament was pointing to. The KJV is in error calling passover as being easter.

Can no counter information from any other source ever challenge you here?

Yes, those following demonic pagan religions have claimed they are following thruth but satan deceived them which is why they are involved in demonic pagan religion
 
The deception had already happened. AI did not need to do anything. People just believe things that are not true without any evidence. Even when evidence is presented, it is rejected. Truly we are living in the last days. Its a problem on both the Modern Bible Movement side, and the KJV-English-only side.

While I pray that this is not the case for anyone here over the source of their whole life, I am afraid this verse needs to be said here.

Hosea 4:6 (KJV):

"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."​
​
Wishing nothing but good things to everyone here in Jesus Christ.

But you would need to demonstrate that fact. Prove that my research that uses AI is all false and is not trustworthy even though I am just pointing you to facts in history. If you can demonstrate that fact rather than you basically saying:

"Hey believe my words and I don't have to prove anything that I say." ​
"Trust me. I am right." ​

I say,

"Prove it."​


It's common knowledge the there are pagan religions that have "easter" as a time to celebrate their demonic beliefs.
The Greek actually says Pascha (Πάσχα). So if it is such common knowledge even in the Greek, then surely you should have no problem giving me a trustworthy source that proves your case. But we both know that your not going to do that. The fantasies that rule your own mind have taken control and it has nothing to do with any actual historical facts. If you believe otherwise, prove it with facts and history.



Jesus going to the Cross for our sins and being raised from the dead is the REAL passover that the passover in the old testament was pointing to. The KJV is in error calling passover as being easter.
You got to stop this nonsense and gaslighting right now. I showed you a screen capture of the MED second definition with a link.
It says it can mean the Jewish Passover.
Easter means the Jewish passover.
Easter means the Jewish passover.
Easter means the Jewish passover.
Easter means the Jewish passover.
That is what it essentially says in a dictionary that uses sources for its references.
So you just doubled down on anti-knowledge and repeat the narrative that you prefer to be true.
There is absolutely no way you can ever be wrong. Your always right. Even if a dictionary corrects you, your still right.
Granted, I am not saying dictionaries cannot sometimes be wrong, but one would need to prove that with other reliable evidence.
But in your case, it is just whatever is rolling around in your head that is evidence. You don't need to prove anything. We just are to believe you and hang on every word that you say. No dictionary or book or anything in history can correct you. Your right and everything outside of your universe or sphere of knowledge is wrong.

So go ahead. Keep saying "Easter" in Acts 14:12 is a mistranslation in the KJV and ignore the Middle English Dictionary definition I gave you. Keep up the gaslighting and lie. I don't think the Lord would be too happy with you doing that. But you have free will. It's your choice to believe and say false things.
