Easter Is A Pagan Festival – GKS by mikuz(m): 8:07am On Apr 08, 2012
…says Jesus didn’t die on Friday, but Wednesday
AS Nigerian Christians join others worldwide to mark this year’s Easter, controversy is brewing around the actual date of the crucifixion of the progenitor of the Christian faith. While it is generally accepted that Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday, the publicity secretary of the God’s Kingdom Society, GKS, Brother Benedict Hart, in this interview, contends thatJesus could not have been crucified on Friday. He said Easter is actually a pagan festival that true Christians should avoid. Excerpts:
What is Lent and of what significance is Lent to Christians?
Lent is the 40 days period offasting from Ash Wednesday to Easter, excluding Sundays, established in imitation of Christ’s 40 fasting days in the desert (Matthew 4:2). It cannot be of significance to Christians since we are not asked to fast or afflict ourselves every year in remembrance of Christ’s sufferings or agony before his death and resurrection. He is now alive for evermore(John 16:20-22; Revelation 1:18). The 40 days fasting in the wilderness has nothing to do with the gap between the Last Supper and Christ’s death on the tree.
