Yes, it's okay to have Easter egg hunts.


Now go and be in peace.

Apostle Felicity has spoken...

Good thing she said it here... had it been in a church service we would have had to ask her to please remain silent.

LOL.

Well goodness sake ....... we're talking "children" here. Long as I've been alive chocolate bunnies and eggs have been part of Easter but we certainly knew how - even as children - to separate that from the death of Christ and His subsequent resurrection.

Sheesh!

Some folks never grow up it seems....

And yes..this hits it on the head... as a Child I loved hunting the eggs... do I now as an adult hunt eggs on Easter NO...but my kids love too...

Truthfully.. I can look back at the Celebration of Easter from when I was young and say NOBODY I knew ever backslid over celebrating Easter with Easter Eggs... This arguement is foolishness.. I don't think God is upset over it.. many church's have great services on Easter with many visitors and have great moves of God, people in the altar getting the Holy Ghost or praying back thru and then after service they take the children out and hunt pretty painted eggs...


the only ones who might have got bitter were the one's who had a problem with hunting eggs....

I think that some of the issue that has not been discussed heretofore is that what were once Holy Days have now truly become holidays.

While holiday is from the phrase Holy Day the way we judge things can be vastly affected by whether we view it as a Holy Day or a holiday.

Holidays are fun, heart warming, fuzzy, giggly, full of memories.

Holy Days are a celebration of ones God.

Not just this issue... but in many others... our decisions these days are quite often made on what "feels good", what conjures fond memories.

These decisions are made in the heart.. which has been deemed, per the word of God, as deceitful above all things.

I might live in a pagan dominated world (days of the week, months of the year, etc.), but I do NOT have to be involved with the roman church and her false doctrines and her holidays.

My point exactly...

I can live in a pagan dominated world and yet maintain biblically based worship.

The early Church did just that!

Are you saying anyone having Easter egg hunts is worshipping?

The question is "Should apostolic churches have easter egg hunts?"

So what we are speaking of here is apostolic churches having easter egg hunts correct?

So the egg hunt is a part of the easter celebration correct?

Then it would seem that they have made an easter egg hunt a part of their easter service.

At any rate... they have indeed chosen to make an easter egg hunt a part of the days service at the church house.
