Newspeak.
I love God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit. I love God's Word, the Bible. God tells us to hide His Word in our hearts. Study His Words and know them. No one can steal that from us. God's Word and Promises are so "cool".
An egg is a symbol. It's a thing. It's perfect. It's fragile yet sturdy. It's delicious. It's nutritious. It's versatile. It can be eaten and it can be decorated. It can be used as paint - Gesso. An egg is so amazing. They can take an egg and rename it to whatever they want, decorate it however they want, but it will never change the true meaning of it. Deep down inside, everyone knows the true symbolic meaning of the Easter Egg.
Jesus is bigger and mightier than an egg. He created it. I'd bet He doesn't care what the egg is called because He knows that His people know the true meaning they have given to this symbol.
Let's see them try to explain the easter bunny and how a bunny can lay an egg. That is so twisted! mind boggling!
A "spring sphere" just makes no sense at all. If anything, it will make a child ask (hopefully) what is a spring sphere and why celebrate it. Some genius dufus will have to explain it and The Resurrection of Jesus Christ will come up. it can't be hidden. There's no escaping it.
Have you ever read books by Corrie Ten Boom? What I received from her books is that God will take care of the details. Circumstances may not be cozy, but He will be there in the midst of those who seek Him.
I'd bet God is laughing at this sphere thing. Laugh with Him.
God Bless you!
Jesus is alive!
Because the Eastern Orthodox Christians cellebrate according to their traditions is no excuse for the paganism.The Original
texts -and unless I am mistaken the only verse in the Bible where the English term Easter is used to translate from the Greek -pascha=the Passover-is in Acts chapter 12 verse 4-
Easter is a heathen term derived from the Saxon goddess Eastre,the same as Astarte the Syrian Venus,called Ashtoreth in the Old Testament.You are entitled to your opine ,sir-as I am my own.But when you compare me to any Muslim it only displays your extreme Ignorance.
