Herbert W. Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God
Is Easter really pagan? If so…
Some years ago, I was conversing with a fellow single man during the feast of tabernacles in Anchorage, Alaska. I was planning to take a drive through the magnificent Alaska scenery to see the Matunuska Glacier. I knew his second tithe funds were running low, and I asked him if he would like to come along.
The Easter season is nearly upon us once again. For many, it’s a time for rejoicing and celebrating the resurrection of Christ; realizing that because he lives, we also can live forever. But for others, especially those who have absorbed the teachings of Herbert Armstrong, Easter is looked upon with suspicion and disdain. They are convinced that it is not a Christian celebration in the least, and that it should be totally rejected as obviously pagan.
