@otieno, I do not dispute your views on the bunny and eggs(which most Kenyans dont use anyway) but I am very OK with Easter celebrations.

Merging these symbols with Christianity makes an already idolatrous practice worse.



Otienosmall, yours is an interesting read. But I dont think the last word is correct, in the light of the facts you have presented.

Instead of 'worse' I think the most appropriate word should be 'suave'.

Get my drift?



“suave!” had to borrow the wisdom of a dictionary to clutch the drift…. When it comes to matters Christianity and beliefs, it’s better to follow blindly coz if you dig a little you might end up an atheist



Not so. It is dangerous to follow blindly.

The bible places emphasis on akili and requires you to use it and not to follow others blindly.

You are called upon to 'reason' and 'not to be like the horse or mule which have no understanding' etc.

This is not to be confused with academic stuff or grades scored in school.

So, about Tammuz, how much brain does it take to decide that it and its ceremonies are displeasing to your God, especially when He has told you it is an 'abomination'?

Easter cannot be the feast of Tammuz or whichever other god unless we choose to worship them. If we believe in the death and resurrection of Christ and we choose to celebrate it on a certain date, nothing should stop us. Why do we celebrate Easter? Do we believe the deity of Jesus, his death for our sins and resurrection? Do we believe in the 1 true God? If we are in Christ, we ought not to worry about such things as origins of festivities as the earth is the Lords and everything in it. Hakuna siku ya shetani!

Uncloaking the religions of old whose more objectionable features are veiled with a garb of chrisitanity is a process rather than an event.

While they formerly denounced Christ and the Bible, they now professe to accept both. But the Bible is interpreted in a manner that is pleasing to the unrenewed heart, while its solemn and vital truths are made of no effect.

Love is dwelt upon as the chief attribute of God, but it is degraded to a weak sentimentalism, making little distinction between good and evil. God’s justice, His denunciations of sin, the requirements of His holy law, are all kept out of sight.

Painfully, to those out of the system, individuals still in the system to whom these things are being revealed view such an exposure of these deceptions as an affront to their persons rather than an affront to the system.
