Pan de Muertos or bread of the dead is a common dish that people make during the day of the
dead.
And this is a bread that people eat and they have a resemblance of bones on top and it's
something they do to honor their dead.
Now let me start off by saying that I am in no way shape or form condemning anybody who
remembers their deceased.
In fact, I believe remembering those who have passed on is actually a biblical thing.
Jesus said to do this in remembrance of me.
The Bible says that the memory of the just is blessed.
So I think it's a very natural, it's a very biblical thing to remember those who have
passed on.
It's actually when you start implementing evil rituals to do that, that's when it becomes
sinful.
But let me read to you from Jeremiah chapter number 7 and verse number 18 where the Bible
reads, the children gather wood and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead their
dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto other
gods that they may provoke me to anger.
And so here the Bible says that these men, women were preparing these cakes, but what
were they doing?
They were worshiping the queen of heaven.
And what does the Bible say?
That they were provoking God to anger by their practices.
In Jeremiah chapter 44 and verse number 19, the Bible says, and when we burned incense
to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes
to worship her and pour out drink offerings unto her without our men?
Again we see a worshiping of the queen of heaven using cakes or using what's called
bread.
And what do we do when we're using bread to honor the dead or to remember the deceased?
We're provoking God to anger.
