I didn't speak of the “personal motives” behind the “observation of Christmas.”Motives don't matter when one goes against God's desires. If it is wrong, it is still wrong no matter how you justify your thinking.What I actually said was:Quote But to eat, as you normally do, or to do anything normal that is normally done, just because it's Dec…[Read more]

Thanks Nick. I was able to find where you had quoted about our beliefs (really, some of our beliefs).But I'm wondering where the quote came from about the “1999” commemoration (which means “remembering with honor”). I'm certain what you said is on the site. I just would like to know where.Thankyou.

Quote Hi david,So syncretism is folly.It is an admixture of false with the true religion.Christmas and easter are not of faith but of the world's follies.So we do not celebrate them though you do not seem to be able to define exactly what this means.Why would I have to “be able to define exactly what this means.”I agree WITH YOU, nick. As YOU…[Read more]

Quote The JWs beliefs are very simple and I have copied them here from their website.Quote Not a lot about the need for repentance and rebirth.Obviously, well, obviously, to most, this is not all of our beliefs.I guess you could accuse the Bible of the same. Although it mentions the kingdom so very many times, there are only a handful of…[Read more]

I could look up the word “commemoration” for you if you like. Commemorate, Nick, means to “honor the memory of” something.I guess honoring the memory of Christ's death is a horrifically bad thing in your mind. “Let's not remember it,” hey Nick.”Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”–Jesus.(It's probably closer to 20 million in recent…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,I am sure Satan celebrated the death of Christ for a while too.It seems there are other SACRED traditional commemorations too. What are they?If all the pagans in the world stopped celebrating christmas would it make them any less pagan? Problems reading Nick?”More than 14 million attended the 1999 annual commemoration of Christ's…[Read more]

Quote If I would break bread on Dec. 25th with my family would that mean that I'm worshipping a sun god?Why would it Kenrch? Unless you called your family together BECAUSE its Christmas and you don't normally break bread but you decided to that day BECAUSE it's Christmas. In that case, it would seem, wouldn't it, that you are doing things…[Read more]

Quote Whew. At last clear guidelines. What I noticed wasn't that this is “how not to celebrate Christmas” as you said.I noticed this article rightly says that respect and consideration should be shown for family members who do celebrate such holidays.

Quote “More than 14 million attended the 1999 annual commemoration of Christ's death, the religion's most sacred observance”Why celebrate the DEATH of JESUS??Quote please. Oh right. You did quote something. You simply mis stated it. The quote says that they “commemorate” Christ's death. They also memorialize it. Nick, it was Jesus death, or…[Read more]

Your loving God that you believe burns people in fire for eternity Nick?I'm not certain you understand “love.” But I do agree with your last statement. It in no way changes the fact that many don't answer questions because they can't answer them.

Nick, about 2 days ago, in the Christmas thread, I said:”Nick, you have already spoken of the folly of syncretism.”Your response was:”Please quote me on the charge of syncretismo nonjudgemental one.”I then quoted Eliyah who said:“what is the scriptures views against such customs and traditions? “Your immediate response:“ Let me say it for youSY…[Read more]

Quote Hi,David has judged that to have a joyous reunion with family on 25th December is a heinous crime. Quote please.

Personaly, I find that people avoid answering questions that are troubling.I believe this is why you and many don't answer some questions.

So, your view here allows me to dodge questions then. Alright. I have often considered being “fluffy” in my responses to you, as you are to many, just so you would get the hint. I guess this is permission for me to do that.Thankyou

Nick, last time I stated that you said that Christmas is syncretism, you charged that you never said that. I proved the exact quote. You never even acknowledged that you said that.Why should I go through one second of trouble to find the obvious if you will be blind to your own words?

Quote When Im asked what are you doing for christmas?Are you ready have you done all your shoping?I tell a truthful report gifts a good blessed to give everydayThen you become the grinch thats spoiling christmasBut how can I explain the sadness inside it is truly enoughIt would be a shame if you were spoken of badly because of following Christian…[Read more]

What harmony is there between true Christianity and lies or paganism? What sharing does true worship have with lies?

To Nick,The truth, which you haven't disagreed with, is that Christmas, the very date, is a lie. A lie that many perpetuate.People may keep defending the right of people to celebrate Christmas if they wish. I have never said people don't have the right to celebrate or wallow around in lies and paganism. They have that right. They have that…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,When did I celebrate lies-having a meal with my family?DON'T MISQUOTE ME.I said you “defend the right to celebrate lies.” Perhaps if you go back, you'll find that I keep stating truth and you keep saying that we have freedom to celebrate Christmas, etc.The truth, is that Christmas, the very date, is a lie. A lie that many…[Read more]

Quote I know it dosn't tell us anywhere to celebrate Jesus's birthday, so why would I choose another day to celebrate His birthday“why” indeed.Quote there are many gods more than 365, so if I were to pick another day it might just be one of their birthdays. I think you and others miss my point. Perhaps tommor is a day that the wiccan religion…[Read more]
