Do you realize the rainbow they use has been altered for their perversion. The rainbow itself is over the Throne of God in Revelations. It represents the 7 Spirits of God, which are describe His character and how He moves. The LMNOP group has removed the dark blue from their version of the rainbow, which symbolizes the Spitit of the Glory of God. It's not surprising or a coincidence that the enemy of our souls has goaded his followers into removing the Presence of God from HIS own rainbow!
So it is that pastel and colorful eggs and candies are to be the New Inclusive Easter symbols; Trans-Visibility Day to be held each Easter Sunday starting this year. Perhaps killing a bunny and reading entrails would be appropriate in the pagan-White House. Christians co-opted the festivals with Christ anyway, so the pagans want it back apparently; maybe "the Church" should go back to the Jewish lunar calendar and divorce itself from the Neo-Pagans who're reasserting themselves through perverted gender-blender false religion?
Agree WP! The majority of Christians have no idea on why or how holidays (derived from the words Holy Days) such as Christmas and Easter were 'established' by the 'church'. Easter is full of pagan symbols, what do rabbits and eggs to give two examples, have to do with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ? NOTHING! They are FERTILITY idols!
Why did 'the Church' separate the Resurrection of Christ from the TRULY symbolic and several thousand year old tradition of Passover? The Passover tells the story of our redemption through Christ and is FULL of symbolism to this day.
As for Christmas one of the most common symbols seen today is the 'Christmas Tree' but read this summary of its roots: The Asherah tree, a symbol of fertility in ancient times, was worshipped by many civilizations in the Middle East. The Canaanites and Phoenicians viewed the tree as a symbol of male fertility, while wreaths were always made in a circle to represent female fertility.4 The last reference to Asherah worship in the Bible is 2 Kings 23, during the reign of Josiah (r. 640 to 609 BCE). Christmas trees became popular in Europe starting in Germany in the 1500s, and there is no historical or cultural connection to the practices within Judah.12 The Asherah poles, or Judean pillar-figurines, have no historical connection to Christmas trees.3 The modern-day Christmas tree finds its origin in the Asherah tree or pole, which is condemned over 40 times by God in the Bible.
I encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to look up the true roots of Christmas and Easter. Be aware of the deception, it has been going on for over a thousand years.
Most people don’t understand Passover enough to know how it was woven into the crucifixion. They don’t know what Jesus meant when he said “I thirst” or “it is finished”…. that both had to do with Passover.
I still like the idea of the sheet full of unclean things being sanctified and made clean by the Lord so that all depraved things can be redeemed and manifested for Holy use and function. It's a stretch to give sanction to all the syncretism of festivals and other religions into The Way of Christ-Abiders, but i like the 'idea' of taking what was meant to deceive us and lead us astray and then USING those things to glorify a Holy Creator. With being Spirit-led, Christ-minded, with faithful trust and loyalty, being sanctified and Holy; the most debased unclean person, disease, location and tradition may be transformed; that being said, have nothing whatever to do with wickedness and evil-doing. In All things give glory and praise to the One God.
the Orthodox Christians only use red eggs. They symbolize the Christ's blood that dripped on the stones below the Cross. All other colors are purely decorative
“The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them. ” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.”
Why wasn't the ancient Chinese civilization aware that they were wiped out in a worldwide flood event? Why didn't the aboriginal natives of Australia or Africa notice that their continents were submerged?
I understand what you are suggesting but I still see the rainbow as a symbol of God’s promise to never again bring a flood to wipe out mankind.
I hate that it was co-opted hy the alphabet faction of our society.

My 17th C New England ancestors forbade the "celebration" of Christmas.

That sounds like some sort of macabre death cult.
Read yesterday (on Patrick?) that Cadbury's Easter eggs are now "Gesture eggs"--and at a whopping pricepoint.
I did not know of the rainbows in Revelation but I found them! Thank you.
My thoughts exactly while I was reading WP.
His premise is spot on; just needs a better term describing it. Like Black Journalism- oh wait! That won’t do. I give😳
third rail owch
Why did your god want to wipe out humanity the first time?
Bryan: from the Book of Genesis 6:1-8
“The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them. ” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.”
Why would your god kill millions of innocent babies and animals?
That does not sound just and wise.
Good question. Ask Him when you meet him.
How do you know he is a him and not a her?
The Bible tells me so!
Men wrote the bible.
The Bible is God’s Word. The authors wrote as the Holy Spirit directed them.
OK, so they were hallucinating on Arak when they wrote what became the bible.
I disagree. I will pray for God to blast into your life as only He can! 🙏🏻
Read the account in Genesis. I believe people can become so entrenched in evil that it affects DNA and even the offspring is forever lost.

It used to be that every VW bug had a rainbow sticker on the rear window.
