According to the dictionary, the word “holiday” is derived from
“holy day.” Common sense tells us that Easter (or Resurrection Day),
based on the Biblical account of Christ’s rising from the dead,
qualifies as a “holiday” or “holy day.” Then why do most people
choose to blindly follow traditions that are far from anything
remotely “holy”?
Why have so many “Christians” allowed corruption to hijack true
Christianity? Surely, they must realize that gorging on ham, eggs, and
other animal-derived products of cruelty is far from “holy” and is in
direct opposition to being God-like. On this “holy day” why do they
choose to please the enemy of Christ – namely, Satan?
So many “Christians” claim to be “born again” – touched by the Holy
Spirit of God. This experience is supposed to result in positive change.
Remember what it says in Galatians 5:22-25?
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh
with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
And just in case it sounds like I’m picking at Christians, the same
applies to those of any other faith – or no faith at all. Try to be an
example of ethical living. Common sense tells you that being complicit
in any activity that hurts another being – human or nonhuman – is
unethical. It’s that simple.
