¿Debe El Conejito De Pascua Tomar Un Alza De la Lupulización?

Como ha sido el costumbre por décadas ahora, el mes próximo considerará una rá faga de las cazas del huevo de Pascua, huevos coloreados, pollos de la melcocha, convites del chocolate, y, a fin de nos olvidemos, la visita del conejito de pascua. Las familias cristianas participan en esta tradición también, aunque el dia de fiesta se está celebrando que tiene preciosamente poco a hacer con los conejitos, los huevos, y el chocolate. Todos sabemos que Pascua marca el dia triunfante de la resurrección de Jesás Cristo, su muerte excesiva de la victoria, y la prueba que él era, de hecho, el messiah esperado desde hace mucho tiempo.

Los huevos, conejitos, etc., por otra parte, son realmente un remanente de una celebración en el honor de una diosa pagan asiria antigua, nombrado Eostre (o Ishtar), que era adorado como la diosa y el consort de Baal (quién de la fertilidad condujo en varias ocasiones Israel antiguo en idolatry e inmoralidad). Su festival cayó en vernal el equinoccio y en un cierto plazo, y apenas como Navidad, Pascua se ha convertido en una mezcla de supersticiones y de conceptos pagan del semi-Cristiano. En su honor, los worshippers babilónicos observaron un 40-day "prestado" antes de su festival. En ruinas egipcias del templo, los huevos teñidos son encontrados para ser ofrendas sagradas de Pascua. En el mundo mediterrá neo antiguo, el culto pagan de Cybele conmemoró la muerte y la resurrección de su dios anualmente en el equinoccio vernal, hoy Pascua.

Mientras que mucho un padre cristiano no está completamente enterado de la significación pagan de las tradiciones que miran inocentes que se han originado alrededor de la muerte y de la resurrección de Cristo, los que está n enterados han elegido a menudo optar fuera del eggstravaganza del conejito, mucho a la decepción de sus niños. Mientras que la biblia es silenciosa en el tema si o no Pascua se debe celebrar en todos (la iglesia cristiana aparece no tener Pascua celebrada hasta el segundo siglo, segán el testigo de la tradición y de la historia tempranas de la iglesia), es vociferante en la idea de participar en la adoración pagan y prohibe claramente tales asociaciones. Colossians 2:8, por ejemplo, estados ve a él que nadie tomas usted la filosofia directa prisionera y [email protected] vacio, segán la tradición humana, segán los alcoholes elementales del universo, y no segán Cristo.

. So whats the Christian Parent to do? Mientras que cada familia debe decidir para si mismos si ella quisiera celebrar Pascua con o sin los huevos y los conejitos, y aunque no hay expediente cualquiera los huevos que ocultan alrededor de la cruz en Golgotha, no interpreto personalmente el corazón del Scripture para señalar claramente en la dirección que estas prá cticas, aunque es pagan en origen, no son inevitable dañosas, y no hago hoy no má s de honor a los viejos dioses o religiones pagan que usar los nombres pagan para los dias de la semana honra el sol, la luna, o Thor. Donde el padre cristiano debe comprobar el corazón y la mente de her/his, es la facilidad con la cual el Easter/Christmas Mindset se convierte en una licencia para la tibieza espiritual, permitiendo que her/him excusen vivo worldly y la carencia de la observancia habitual del servicio de la adoración de domingos debido a la observación de Pascua y Navidad, e iguala quizá ir todo hacia fuera en la celebración de esos dias de fiesta.

Asi, si usted puede gozar del dia de fiesta, tenga el chocolate, conejitos, y huevos sin conseguir cogido para arriba en el worldliness que ha abrazado la celebración de la resurrección de Cristo, y si usted puede celebrar sin el compromiso de su comisión a Cristo y a su iglesia, después alli no es ningán daño en la observación de Pascua. ¡De hecho, la lata de Pascua y debe ser una época de la celebración má s grande de todos!
