    If there are many pagan gods born of virgins, among other coincidences with Jesus, how can we be sure that Christianity is the correct religion?

    Nope, only one.

    Only if it can lay eggs.

    Here comes Peter Cottontail! Happy Easter! (Warning; long post)

    As is usual with these threads, claims are made with zero evidence offered. What is worse though is that these claims without evidence are being put forward by people who profess to be Christians.

    Muslim Suicide Bomber Detonates During Mass in Damascus

    Following the cowardly attack, the Church was filled to overflowing, chanting the Paschal resurrection hymns. https://m.facebook.com/reel/691074420355590/?referral_source=external_deeplink&mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    They would have all been working the next day.

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Where else would you expect Paul to find large numbers of faithful Jews and Gentile converts to Judaism than in the synagogue on the Sabbath? He wanted to reach as many as possible. On any other day there would have only been a few people in the synagogue, so naturally he preached there on the...

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    The Council was codifying what was stated by St Ignatius in the early to mid 2nd Century There were, unfortunately, still Christians who were Judaising, just as there are today.

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    They did not uphold it in the manner of the Jews. That is something you read back into the texts.

    It is permissive for Christians to eat meat today

    Thank you. Of course there is nothing in the text that suggests our Lord didn't eat everything that was set before him. Those who would claim otherwise are reading their own beliefs back into the text.

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Nope. Christians had been meeting for worship before dawn on Sunday for centuries. They met before dawn because they then had to go to work, since the 1st day of the week was a normal work day. Constantine made it a day of rest in recognition of Christians worshipping on that day. His...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    If this is what you are trying to say then you need to provide evidence. You need to show from primary sources that the practices you believe were co-opted by Christians, were actually practised by pagans at that time, and that they were co-opted by Christians at that time. The problem you will...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    No, we are simply pointing out that there is no historical basis for the claims being made. It is entirely bunk.

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    There are no other historical texts. Venerable Bede gives the only historical reference to "Eostre" and it is quite likely he was mistaken. Certainly you can find plenty of ink spilled regarding this or that pagan ritual, but what you do not find is any historical reference to their supposed...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    An often repeated yet totally baseless claim.

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    Not a single primary source is given. Your author, a so called 'pagan expert' is either making stuff up or simply repeating what has been made up by others. There are no historical records of any Ostara rituals. Nothing, nada, zip. So much fail :doh:

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Since the Scriptures don't give any indication as to how to deal with this issue, your brethren have put themselves in a quandary, but it is one of their own making. I guess that is the result of focusing on the letter of the law and ignoring the spirit of the law. The Sabbath was made for man...

    The Russian Language

    There is plenty of real Russian history and literature available in English. I can't tell if you were serious or being ironic in the above post. I hope the latter.
