Did God intend for Jews and Christians to have different religions? Did Jesus Christ come to this earth to set up an entirely new religion or was He a continuation of what God had already been doing since the beginning of time?

Should Christians celebrate Passover or should they celebrate Easter? The answer may seem quite obvious to some of you, but in reality this question has become quite a controversy in the Christian community over the past several years. As Christians have learned more about the history of each holiday, an increasing number of Christians have been choosing to celebrate Passover rather than Easter. 
In a previous post we mentioned the pagan origins of Christmas, but we wanted to go into quite a bit more detail about the historical facts regarding December 25th. Most Christians get quite offended when you try to tell them that December 25th is not a Christian holiday. They just don't understand. The truth is that it is a very ancient pagan holiday, and most of the Christmas traditions of today can be directly traced back to pagan practices. 
In a previous article we alluded to the fact that Yahshua (Jesus) was almost certainly born during the Feast of Tabernacles. But is there any evidence for this? Is there any evidence that Jesus was not born on December 25th? The truth is that the vast majority of both Christians and non-Christians are shocked when you tell them that Yahshua (Jesus) was not born anywhere near December 25th. In fact, the word "Christmas" is not anywhere in the Bible, and neither are "Christmas trees" or "Christmas presents". 
The vast majority of Jews and the vast majority of Christians have no idea that there is a connection between the shofar, Rosh Hashanah and the return of Jesus Christ to this earth. The truth is that there is a reason why God commands that the shofar be blown on Rosh Hashanah - it is because the blast of the trumpet is connected to the ultimate prophetic fulfillment of that festival.
