Yes, it's not a coincidence that "Easter" and "Ishtar" look similar.

People that know how to trace roots of names and know histories can trace many names and religious concepts to their roots.

Resurrection of a deity was a common phenomenon in ancient religions of many cultures.

The phenomenon didn't start with Jesus Christ (who is Yeshua in reality).

Ishtar, Vishnus, and many other gods and goddesses, worshipped in old religions, were higher beings that could come back to life in a new body after their death.

Easter celebration has its roots in Old Religion (paganism).

About identifying the roots of a name, almost all concepts in Abrahamic religions, and many names of people generally can be traced to a deity.

Hell is a stolen concept from the god, El, worshipped in an old (paganistic) religion. Jesus Christ is not a real personality as depicted in the Bible.

According to a book of history, the real person was a black man of an extinct human specie predating homo sapiens (whose race began from East Africa over 200,000 years ago).

The real name is Yeshua (Faulkin).

Yeshua = Yahweh + Eshu. Yeshua was a follower (son) of Yahweh, who is a friend to Eshu, a deity in Yorubaland.

Those 3 deities, along with Allah, were masters of magia. Many miracles in the Bible and Qur'an are works of magic (tricks of illusion). Nothing more than that.

(Though those entities are higher beings.)

Abdullah = Abd + Allah
Sangotedo = Sango + tedo
Israel = Isis + Ra + El (Isis was a goddess in ancient Egypt, Ur)
Michael, Uriel, Raphael all are names of people that used to worship god El.

There are many other examples.

Religionists would always combine the name of their god with other things to form their name.

This post long sha

Anyways I guess we have to believe in the existence of some gods and reject some others as copycats

You might wanna take a glance through the thread to understand better .

So I should just believe everything he types in that thread just like that? Na so e easy?

I answered you using the same tone you used to ask the question.



I have read a number of books on histories of religions. So, I know that many aspects of Christianity and Islam were all copied from older religions, especially from ancient Egyptian religions.

The Internet is there for anyone that wants to learn these things.

Any genuine seeker of knowledge can find essential literature on these things on sacred-texts.com

I'm just interested in this one thing. I believe there are many others here too who can learn from this.

Is the celebration of isthar about the death and resurrection of the isthar god?

iamoyindamola:

Stop it

Lol I honestly wanted to see some real evidence not some dem say dem say

God have mercy.

Why does this require God's mercy?

Maybe in your ignorance, you feel science is everything, just like some feel religion is everything.

Personally, these are core aspects of my own approach to life: use of the brain, science, history, philosophy and logic, holy books.

You don't even know my position on this matter, you're already feeling attacked.

Which of those core aspects gave you the boldness to make such claim as regards isthar and easter? Do you have any verified link one can use to read up assuming this does not involve your use of the brain core aspect?

gensteejay:
Christians are celebrating Easter now. But most of them don't know it's a festival with roots in paganism.

Who was Easter (Ishtar)? There are many resources online about the ancient goddess.

For someone that goes on and on about science and facts, this right here is no fact, no concrete evidence, just theories upon theories. You're doing well

SirAce:
Anyone who reads the bible will spot human like attributes e.g God is jealous, has anger issues, sits on a throne etc. The streets of Heaven is made of Gold, Y gold? Cos gold was one of d most precious elements during their time, so it was an easy Guess 4 heaven to b made of Gold, Y not somtin else? Maybe the Chariot of Fire was even a space ship, who knows

Has this changed?

After all the years spent turning Emirates into a dancehall, i highly doubt Lingard will move there lmaooo

It'll be some several steps down for him but it's what it is

Giving is completely voluntary. It should not be emphasised in Church.

I agree

larride:
Yes. An hour after omojuwa showed screenshot that he has been blocked by the imam, the imam now came to show screenshot that omojuwa blocked.

Nezzar is saying omojuwa blocked the imam first when it was the other way round.

Maybe imam blocked first, but we surely can't use who report first as the person that blocked first

Swissh:
I am surprised you didn't put Mikel obi. Why the nostalgic towards old players.

We're talking about Nigeria legends not Chelsea legends

Ibime:
Did any Catholic priest ask you for 10%? He may pressure you for offerings, but the minute he start talking tithe or any prescribed percentage, he knows Diocese will recall him and redeploy him to Seminary in Maidugiri.

So your issue is with the term, not the act? Would it be better if they rename it to something else? Because this looks like you're saying that if you want to give all your money, its ok as long as you don't call it tithe

diggz:
Which useless right? Chinese people no sabi their rights or Russians no sabi their right or those in majority of middle east no sabi their rights?

Your right is the constitution. As a Nigerian, your right is the constitution of Nigeria and not that of USA.

larride:
Lol. Omojuwa claimed he was blocked an hour before the imam says omojuwa block him but somehow it’s omojuwa that is lieing.

Was anyone accused of lying there?

diggz:
If I slap you ehn! Which f00lish politician is accountable to you? You sabi wetin you just type for there at all? The king in your village is still accountable to you abi? I go e-slap you this morning ephraim.

Because we no sabi our right from left no mean say right and left no dey. If politician no dey accountable to us, its our fault, not the politicians fault

Wetin concern king with this talk now?

Ibime:
I don't know Sam Adeyemi preaching but if he is against Tithing, then that's good.

He's not against tithing. He's against the teaching that says tithing is tied to your salvation, prosperity, blessing etc

Ibime:
Do the organised churches force you to pay a prescribed percentage of your income?

Tithe is simply a medieval Jewish taxation system which the Jews used to support their Civil Service (the Levites) who were given no other work but to be Civil Servants of the Jewish state.

Jews these days do not pay tithe, having progressed to a more modern tax system, yet one foolish Pastorpreneur will fill your brain with pap and force you to pay tithe while you are also simultaneously paying tax to Govt. Thunder go fire am!

I will not say more than due to people getting emotional about religion, but those are the cold facts. Moses expressly said that Tithe is simply to pay for the work the Levites who are their Civil Servants.

So if Sam Adeyemi insist on tithe, that would make him a fraudster whether Eph12 agree or not.

If you know Sam Adeyemi stand on tithing, you will be ashamed of that list. Update your list

GloryIsaac:
Won't the midfield be packed?

Except Lingard goes too..

He will be pushed out. Assnal wants him

diggz:
Enforced tithing or not... every institution dey this table directly or indirectly, not just churches.

You no dey pay tax to your state and FG for naija? Are they accountable to you in anyway?

Lol politicians are accountable to us. We get to vote them out if they mess up. It's not the same thing with pastors

Ibime:
Whether Sam Adeyemi or Jackie Chan, general rule is if he is a tithe-preaching pastor, he is a scam.

1. Whose general rule is this?
2. What do you mean by tithe-preaching pastor? You talking about enforcement of tithing?

babyfaceafrica:
Is Sweden irresponsible?.. No lockdown... Which government will you call?.. All politicians know is loot, reloot and continuous looting!!. Have you seen what they are sharing calling paliitaives?.. Six houses give a paint of rice and beans... You are too trusting to this government

Sweden has over 10k cases and over 800 deaths. Considering that they have a better healthcare than us, is this what you want for Nigeria?

Ibime:
You are a fool if you follow an exploiter of people, and those who lie on the pulpit. As long as you dey church with an ethical pastor, no sele. Not like Adeboye that lied that God told him about Corona but he didn't want to say anything if not Interpol will arrest him

The list I put up there are all Fraudsters!

Adeboye said this?

Your list has Sam Adeyemi. It's null and void. I can't speak for any other pastor

afrodoc2:
No. Yekini and Odegbami scored more.
And stats aside, nobody who watched Yekini would dare compare both.

Then starting a match with Yekini was like starting the game 1 goal up.

You're right

I lost interest in Nigerian football so many years ago. I can't even name any of our current players not doing okay in Europe. I still remember a couple of our matches at France 98. Any other competition after that, I can't remember.
