PAGAN 9JA:
^That King was non other than Emperor Constantine

tpia1: Everything in the world has pagan origins in one form or another.

However, originally, God himself instituted the basic code before adam's fall, and some after.

For example, the days and seasons were started by God then corrupted by men.

The first clothes were made by God as a result of adam's sin.

That is also why we are told to give thanks for food we eat.

Dietrich92: why is everything outside of christianity called paganism?
silly white people trying to demonize everything

It's funny, white people worship a black god from a tribe of black people, mixed it with their own paganism and subjugated darker skinned people to their religion thru oppression, and turn to find out the bible is written about them LMAO

Weselion: There was a war among christians and pagans while a particular king was rulling rome, so to settle the dispute he favoured the pagans who worship sun by fixing our worship day on sunday and then favoured the christians by putting God as the overall God. By so doing, he brougth some pagan worship into christianity, that was where the roman catholic started.

Borrowed from da vinci code

mollie12: Oh come on!

All the days of the week were named to honor idols. Even the Saturday you are hyping is to named to honor Saturn-Saturnalia-Satan.

As Christians, our worship of God is not tied to the day meanings as that would be bowing to the weak, beggarly elements of the world we are in.

This claim of yours has been repeated often, but it has several errors. Historical evidence points to the fact that early Christians used to meet on the first day of the week long before Constantine was even born. Some of this evidence is even in the book of Acts.

We have been given liberty to choose any day of the week to gather and worship God. We can do it every day gan sef!

And the Sunday worshippers have some biblical logic backing them - God started creation work on a Sunday, God the Son resurrected on a Sunday. So why not Sunday?

macof:
There was no war, constantine was the one who started the war himself by giving Christians authority and castigating the Roman heads who were pagans. He tried to gain favor from the Christians and made christianity a national religion alongside the various other pagan religions.

He himself was a pagan but used christianity to gain political power.
He was later given full authority over the Roman government and Military but still harassed the various pagan colonies of Rome with his [b]Soldiers of Christ[/b]He claimed Jesus was the power behind Rome's military success, when we all know that The Sun God has been the patron of The Roman military for some decades.

I think I read somewhere that he was devoted to Artemis(the Moon goddess) and still offered sacrifice in her honor.
The man wasn't even baptized until his last seconds on earth

PAGAN 9JA:


Thats false information. The jews didnt even know to read and write. They were cavemen, when the Pagans set the days and seasons.

The first clothes were made by Pagans.

tpia1:

I am sure you have read the bible account before.

You saw where it was clearly stated God created heaven and earth and also made the first clothing because of Adam's sin.

KUMU day
Oye day

Oyaks day
Sign Fireman day

Dietrich92:

no man, i heard from my fellow brothers that the bible is about the hebrews not the jews.
Jews donot equal Hebrews.

If I remember correctly the original Hebrews come from Egypt aka Khemet [which according to legend, Egypt was a colony of Nubia not the other way around.]
So I'm basing this that the bible is really the Egyptian religion re-packaged since in the bible itself it quotes Moses being raised as Egyptian royalty with governing authority.
If I am wrong feel free to correct me.

IS SUNDAY WORSHIP, A CHRISTIANISED FORM OF SUN-WORSHIP?

ECCLESIASTES 1: 9," What has been is what will be, And what has been done is what will be done AND THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN".

•THE ORIGIN OF SUNDAY WORSHIP

Now, Sunday was the day set aside in the Mithra (Roman) cult as its official day to ASSEMBLE together to WORSHIP its SUN-DEITY(god or divinity)->>Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun" who was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers.

Now, this specific day, "SUNDAY" was chosen mainly to "WORSHIP" what?? ->> A SUN-DEITY which could be a form of a god or divine power. Do you think "SUNDAY" was just chosen randomly out of the seven days of the week?? NO!! It was chosen so to magnify the power of the SUN-god, that is why it is called "SUNDAY"->> a sacred day to worship divine power of the "SUN".

•AFRICAN BACKGROUND OF SUN WORSHIP

The Lozi people (an ethnic group primarily of western Zambia, inhabiting the region of Barotseland. Lozi are also found in Namibia (Caprivi Strip), Angola and Botswana) believe that the "SUN" is inhabited by the sky god who is called Nyambi and the Moon is his wife.The Ancient Egyptian god of creation, Amun is also believed to reside inside the "SUN".
This is to show you that there has been a belief of sun worship in the ancient days and yes it existed.
Now what does the christian bible say about "WORSHIPING" the "SUN"?, let's read Ezekiel 8:16-17, "...And their faces toward the east, WORSHIPING the "SUN" towards the east. Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations that they commit here, that they should fill the land with violence and provoke me still further to anger?...." Now this scripture tells us exactly that God is surely infuriated by "SUN WORSHIP" and sees it as abomination. Now how much more about worshiping Him on "SUNDAY", a sacred day dedicated specially for the "SUN-DEITY"?

Some may argue saying "SUNDAY" is the 7th day on the calender, meaning the day of rest, well, have you ever heard of a JULIAN CALENDER Or GREGORIAN CALENDER?

¤The JULIAN CALENDER
» a reform of the ROMAN CALENDER introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC). It took effect in 45 BC (709 AUC). It was the predominant calendar in most of Europe, and in European settlements in the Americas and elsewhere, until it was superseded by the GREGORIAN CALENDER.

¤The GREGORIAN CALENDER
» also called the Western calendar and the CHRISTIAN calendar, is internationally the most widely accepted and used civil calendar. It has been the unofficial global standard for decades, adopted for pragmatic interests of international communication, transportation, and commercial integration, and recognized by international institutions such as the United Nations and the Universal Postal Union.

A gregorian calender which is a modern calender that we use, replaced the Julian calender but didn't omit much out of the julian calender. For instance, starting day of the week on Julian calender was monday as it still is on gregorian calender.

So the Calender we are using was introduced by the romans under Julius Ceasar, the very same people who appointed "SUNDAY" a day to Worship 'SUN-DEITY' eventhough they came up with a new one, GREGORIAN CALENDER-which is alleged to be a Christian Calender, then why didn't they change Sunday and put it rightfully under biblical commands to its place? Why did they leave it at that? Or has God anything to do with SUN Worship? Ask yourself...



So it is quiet evidential that the 7th day on the calender, which is 'SUNDAY' has got nothing to do with God's Rest, Sabbath. Infact, Sabbath day, a day on which Christians should gather up and WORSHIP God is NO WAYS 'SUNDAY'. Biblical scriptures proves that sunday is the first day of the week Not the 7th, UNLIKE YOUR GREGORIAN CALENDER which is meant for christians but whereas its main purpose is to deceive them.
1 Corinthians 16: 1 says " On the first day of the week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up,as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come"...Matt 28: 1 says," In the End of sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week"... PLEASE OPEN YOUR MIND TOWARDS GOD's DAY OF REST( SABBATH) THROUGH THE ABOVE-HIGHLIGHTED SCRIPTURES- Which day is really Sabbath and Why does the Gregorian Calender indicates Sabbath as "SUNDAY" whereas Sunday is no day of rest but the first day of the Week? What could be the reason and purpose behind this switch?

Could it be that the Romans, or the modern day Christian Elites are Mocking God by not Considering SATURDAY as the real Sabbath but instead shifted its genuine essence to 'SUNDAY', the day initially chosen and dedicated to the gods of the 'SUN' by the Romans...?

Could this mean SUN WORSHIP is ALIVE and WELL and its widely adopted by all modern Christians by Honouring "SUNDAY" as SABBATH?

If So, all Christians who keep 'SUNDAY' as their SABBATH then they are all keeping SUN WORSHIP meaning they are honouring the divine powers of the SUN and they are also involved in 'SUN WORSHIP' be it indirectly or unconsciously so.

Please read Malachi 3: 7 ," From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you , says the Lord of hosts ".

STAY BLESSED IN JESUS NAME
