Nowhere in the Bible is there a holiday called Lent. There are significant references to the number 40, but there is no festival which consists of fasting for 40 days in the Bible. Lent comes from a pagan holiday. It is mourning for a man called Tammuz, who was the son of Nimrod. The fast of Lent is 40 days before Easter, where it is tradition to eat ham. Tammuz was killed by a wild boar. Do not partake in Lent. The catholics have made up their own religion, they are not Christian. The things they practice are pagan in origin. They worship the sun, by rasing up a disc (calling it the host) toward a circular window, where the light of the sun hits it. If you look, you'll see most churches have this circular window. These buildings also have a "steeple" which is actually an obelisk, used for worshipping the male organ. I also see Hallow, an app made by the Chosen, is promoting Lent. The Chosen is run by Mormans, and they claim they are adding "extra-Biblical" events in the movie. That's a fancy way of saying they are adding to the Bible. They also had a pride flag on the set. The chosen is not of God, neither is Hallow. You don't need to go to "church" to be saved. All you need, is the true word, the King James Bible, and to be born again, having the Holy Ghost living in you. If you're vigilant, you'll see pagan and wiccan symbols everywhere. In logos and icons, in the symbols for false religions, even Christians unknowingly use the Triquetra, a pagan symbol, for the trinity. The trinity is a false doctrine used to replace the Godhead, the true description of God.
Acts 17:29
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
2 Corinthians 6:15-18
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

It wasn't until I started looking beyond traditions that I understood why so many search for answers about Tammuz and Lent or Lent origins pagan. The image I saw with "Weeping for Tammuz" and "Ash Wednesday" truly resonated with my findings. It became clear that the historical roots often point away from biblical teachings.
The Bible, particularly in Ezekiel 8, speaks of women weeping for Tammuz at the temple gate, an abominable practice according to God. This ancient pagan deity, whose death was mourned with rituals, seems to bear a striking resemblance to the traditions observed during Lent. The concept of a 40-day fast mirroring this mourning, often culminating near Easter, is hard to ignore once you see the connections. It makes me question established norms, especially when I see the explicit criticizes Catholic practices in the image text, aligning with my personal discernment that many practices deviate from the King James Bible.
My journey also led me to deeply consider the salvation process. It's not about adhering to man-made traditions or going through specific rituals in a church building. The true sign of Christianity isn't outward observance, but an inward transformation. It's about being "born again," as the Scriptures teach, with the Holy Ghost dwelling within you. For anyone asking how to lead someone to Christ, I've learned it boils down to sharing the unadulterated truth of God's Word, found in the KJV. It's through understanding our sin, repenting, and genuinely believing in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. The power of the blood of Jesus verse (like Ephesians 1:7 or 1 Peter 1:18-19) is central to this, offering complete remission of sins.
Another area that became profoundly clear was the distinction between the "Trinity" and the "Godhead." I used to accept the Trinity without question, but after much study of the King James Bible, I've come to understand the concept of the Godhead as described in passages like Acts 17:29. This describes God as Spirit, not confined to human-made constructs or graven images. It's a foundational truth that challenges many conventional theological interpretations.
And for those wondering about missing scriptures in the bible, my own study has strongly confirmed the completeness and preservation of God's Word in the King James Bible. It's a text I trust and rely on for all matters of faith and practice. When we focus on the true Word, our light will shine (Matthew 5:16) and our hearts will be set on eternal treasures, aligning with Matthew 6:21 meaning about where our treasure truly lies. It's about living for God, as Galatians 2:19 says, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." This is the authentic path, free from pagan influence, leading to genuine spiritual freedom.
