Cody, Once again you have presented yourself as one of those Christians who gives such a negative impression that you turn people away from Christianity. You have made the classic mistake of allowing secular rituals the interfere with the legitimate observance of Christ's birth and resurrection. That he wasn't born on December 25th is totally irrelevant. Many of us specifically take time this year to honor the birth of Christ. Whether you feel compelled to label ALL celebration as pagan is up to you, and remains your problem. What do you do this time of year besides muttering to yourself about how unholy everyone is? -And how does that honor Christ, or draw people to him? |

Happy Holidays to everyone everywhere! May the new year bring you the very best of everything! Good Luck, Best Wishes and Peace on Earth to All! Warm holiday messages from anonymous trolls just seem a little warmer, don't they? |

What is negative about exposing paganism? ----------- There is just one question you need to answer. Are you bringing people closer to Christ with your posts, or are they repelled further from him? If they are repelled (and I dare say they nearly universally are), then you are an agent for the OTHER side, whether you mean to be or not. Think about this. |

Jhn 6:44 If any are repelled from Christ by the truth, then it is because the Father does not draw him and he therefore cannot come to Christ. There were some who turned away from Christ because of the teachings of the Apostles, were they agents for the other side? I am not trying to repel anyone from Christ. The subject line concerns holidays and I spoke the truth concerning holidays. I did not mean to offend anyone but sometimes the truth is offensive to some people and this particular truth is offensive to a lot of people, believe me, I know. I participated in christmas practices for most of my life until I knew the truth. Well anyway, You probably won't be seeing me around here very much after the end of this year, I have been spending too much time reading this group and need and want to spend more time studying eternal things. There are some very interesting people here, who share an interest in photography as I do also, but only 24 hours in a day. Cody, http://community-2.webtv.net/AnOverc...otographyLinks |
