Can we worship and honour God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow “Christianize” these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves?Can we obey through disobedience?

What country are you from?

Quote The message must be truth not syncretism.TruthSyncretismIntersting words.I can't help but wonder what we have sycretized.Take Christmas, the birthday of Jesus (A lie we do not accept or tolerate in our worship of God, who wants us to worship him with spirit and “truth)Christmas is also, without question the syncretism of “Christianity” with…[Read more]

“There were, within the Church, criticisms of the observance on the grounds of its resembling pagan rites, of its being sun-worship (the Armenians called the Roman Church members idolaters as well, because of the identification of Christmas with the date of the birth of the sun), and, as late as 1644, during the Puritan ascendancy, the English P…[Read more]

I can't help but wonder about all the people who say: I celebrate Christmas MY WAY. I don't do this, or that. I honour Jesus on this day.I can't help but wonder why they wouldn't honour Jesus everyday, or pick a much closer date to his actual birth, rather than pick the birthday of the sun god, Jesus enemy. They say they are trying to fight the…[Read more]

Then why do you repeatedly defend something you have chosen not to celebrate?Where did you go over the “Christmas break.” You had time off work. Did you go visit family? Of course, there is nothing wrong with such things. But when you do it around an evergreen covered in light (which are both symbols of this ancient pagan worship) then that is…[Read more]

It's still pagan. It's celebrated by more pagans and people who don't even believe in Jesus than by people who do.It's those who claim to follow Jesus…[Read more]

Quote Can you give quotes?Yes, can you? Nick puts a lot of weight on this parable in understanding the afterlife. He also puts a certain degree of trust in apocrapha.If you could provide some quotes, that would be beneficial.

Umm. No Adam. That was me.

Nick, I know you have the most difficulty with the easy “yes” or “no” questions.Unless you are purposely trying to confuse people, why not tell us:Do you celebrate “Christmas.”?

Quote Jesus is the Key WE need the right Jesus! If we Didnt I would still be a Jw and Have my Family back.I'm sorry that these things happen. But the truth has that effect:MATTHEW 10:34-35`“Do not think I came to put peace upon the earth; I came to put, not peace, but a sword.

Quote Spare us from self righteous men! Nick, from now on, every second post in the trinity thread will be directed to you and be these words.Every time you try to speak the truth, I will take that as self-righteousness. Is that reasonable?

Quote We must not continue to murder each other it is clear we all mourn over a day that has been mutilated by SatanThis day hasn't been mutilated by Satan.

Nick. I dont remember taking any high moral ground. As far as me “back up view of righteousness,” I will give you the bible's view of syncretism, a word you early seemed to deny every using:1 CORINTHIANS 10:20-22“I say that the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers w…[Read more]
