Is it wrong for Christians to have Easter egg hunts complete with the easter bunny present?
Berean Researcher
Yes, it is wrong for Christians to have Easter egg hunts and Easter Bunny present. Why would one want to celebrate a fertility goddess? The statue of which is an ugly one with eggs all over the goddesses body.
Why pass on lies about Passover Week a time of the High Holy Days culminating with the worship and praise of the Resurrection?
Remembering the First Advent and looking forward to the Second Advent are the only concentration.
Christians are not to practice pagan worshipping.
We are rather than all to give all honor, glory, with our thanks giving to the Lord God Almighty, I AM that I AM with all of our praise and .
What is "culture" and "tradition" does not make an action permissible and goes against the absolute truth of the Word.
People push Santa and Bunnies imagine a god that fits their new cultural wants and values, and they learn to see this distortion of Christianity as the true church.
Biblical Christianity means being joined to Jesus Christ through faith in what He did for us at the cross, then allowing Him to live His life through us, so that others might know Him and see His love

Most children will know by the time they're around 8 years old that the Santa Claus fantasy is just that, fantasy. The game hasn't been played long enough for permanent damage to be done. A child who adds it up to mean they've been lied to by their parents is a very serious child. With all the other fantasies that children are exposed to, why is the Santa Claus fantasy graded differently.
It's the Halloween weekend. Yesterday was Halloween. I had 4 small grandchildren dressed in costumes. Catwoman, a cowgirl, a princess and Beetlejuice. Fantasy... They know it's not who they are in real life. They know it's only dress-up. When treated the same as this day of dress-up, the Santa side of Christmas is also understood to be fantasy as well.
The people who have a problem with Christmas are the same people who find something wrong with every other day of celebrating childhood by engaging in childhood fantasy. Easter, Halloween and Christmas are the aims of their religious contempt. The really serious protagonists don't allow their children to celebrate their birthday. There's no fantasy involved with being born into the world, so that can't be the reason to decry a birthday celebration. So what's the reason for the prohibition.
I think it has to do with wanting to be seen as different. In other words, holy; not like the world. I think that can be accomplished without trashing the fun parts of being a kid. Make-believe is good; fun shared between parents and kids.
