The celebration of Easter, including traditions like decorating eggs and associating rabbits with the holiday, are much more recent and have Christian roots. [... more]

The Epstein Files, Pagan History, and Christian Morality

The spread of Christianity is credited with revolutionizing human sexuality, elevating the status of women, and restraining male eros in ancient pagan societies.

Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday?

Christmas is rooted in Scripture and has always been about Christ, with the accounts of Jesus' birth in Matthew and Luke written in the first century. The date of Christmas may not have been chosen to coincide with pagan festivals, but rather calculated as Jesus' birthday based on the date of his conception and death. Christians can adopt and redeem some pagan traditions, such as decorated trees and yule logs, as long as they don't distract from the true meaning of Christmas. [... more]

Globalism’s Dark Agenda—The Rise of Pagan Earth Worship

The demonic nature of this agenda became clearer at the summit, with the unveiling of the Dragon Jaguar Guardian Spirit, a gift from the CCP to Brazil. The globalists are playing the long game, using the climate movement to advance their agenda and brainwash children into alignment with the 2030 agenda. [... more]

Why Do We Sin?

The conflict between the new man and the old man in the human heart is a struggle that all Christians face. The biblical view of the human will is that it is not free from the influence of sin, but rather is conditioned by it. This understanding is in contrast to the pagan view, which holds that the will is free to choose between good and evil without any influence or compulsion. The Apostle Paul's description of the human will in Romans 7 highlights the struggle between the desire to please God and the tendency to follow the old man of the flesh. [... more]
