Resurrection Sunday, not pagan

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."

-1 Peter 2:24 📖❤️

There are those who will call this day a pagan holiday and criticize Christians who celebrate this Easter Sunday as Resurrection Sunday and those who celebrate with family and friends. Why? What do you get out of it? Your ignorance doesn’t solve anything. As a Christian we believe at least in choosing days out of the year to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in celebrating Christians who died for their faith in Halloween (All Saints Day), and we believe in celebrating Jesus Birth. For those who call these days pagan...did you forget the scripture in Psalms that says, “ this is the day the Lord has made I shall rejoice and be glad in it.” So with that said I will not give this day to Satan...I have no right. It’s not against scripture to have celebrations. People may have made certain days pagan for themselves, but as a Christian we can do as we please as Christians celebrating Jesus and His resurrection.

Beware of Idols

1 John 5:21^--"Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."

 

Avoid idolatry, false gods, and have no idols in your hearts and lives, Love God first and last (Matthew 22:37)

When Someone Dies Where Do They Go? Third Series

1 Thessalonians 4:14^--"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

Christians at death go immediately to heaven to await the resurrection of their sleeping bodies (2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:21-24; Hebrews 12:22-23; Revelation 6:9-11). When Christ leaves heaven to come down in the air of the earth (v17), the saints that are in heaven will come back with Him and be reunited with their bodies which will be resurrected in a moment (v14; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58)

2 Corinthians 5:8^--"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."

To die and be absent from the body means we go to heaven to be with the Lord (v8. Philippians 1:21-24; Hebrews 12:23; James 2:26; Revelations 6:9-11). This is proof that the inner man does not go to the grave at death, but to heaven, if one is righteous. If one is wicked he goes to hell awaiting the resurrection of his body (Luke 16:19-31; Revelations 20:11-15)

When Someone Dies Where do They Go? Second Series

Body-sleep not soul-sleep 

1 Thessalonians 4:14^--"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

Sleep means death of the body (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; 5:10; Deuteronomy 31:16; 2 Samuel 7:12; 1 Kings 1:21; Job 7:21; Pslams 13:3; Daniel 12:2; Mark 5:39; Luke 8:52; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:51; James 2:26). These are all the passages where the word sleep is found in connection with death. The word slept is used in Matthew 27:52; 1 Corinthians 15:20 of death and the phrase slept with his fathers is used 36 times of death in the Old Testament.

Not one time is it stated that the soul sleeps. The soul is immortal (1 Peter 3:4). The term sleep in Jesus simply refers to those who were in Christ at their death (v14, 16)
