EP.683 Lent and Carnival: Traditions of Tares or True Christianity?

In this compelling episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff delves into the often misunderstood origins of Lent and its cultural and spiritual implications. Triggered by a lively discussion in their Telegram channels following Ash Wednesday, Jeff realized this topic was overdue for exploration. With a tagline like 'live right in the real world,' Jeff guides us through not just what is visible and known, but the hidden historical layers influencing today's practices.

This episode promises a revelation on the pagan origins of Lent, connected to Tammuz, a figure described as a fallen deity, and how these have surreptitiously woven their way into Christianity.

Throughout the show, Jeff provides a historical trek, starting from ancient celebrations around spring equinox by pagans, shifting through Greek and Roman adaptations of such festivals, and unveiling how customs like Carnival served as precursors to today's Christian Lent. The episode does not shy away from controversy, tackling how these traditions have been repurposed with Christian symbolism, often magnified during Lent and leading up to Easter.

With guests and perspectives that challenge conventional understandings, Jeff argues for a re-evaluation of how some traditions celebrated within Christianity possibly diverge from biblical teachings. Engaging listeners to question what is taught and revealing the links to ancient practices wrongly given Christian labels, this episode closes with a practical approach on balancing inherited customs with genuine faith, emphasizing a Bible-based understanding above all.
