Laurel,you said:Quote Your words about old creation and new creation are “new to me” and i have read Scripture and loved Scripture for many years, never having read there about a new creation or anywhere where the Sabbath memorial, and sign of His everlasting covenant was ever changed to the SUN's day which is the day of pagan worship to their…[Read more]

Laurel,Here are some verses that speak of believers in Christ as a new creation/creature. The new creation/creature replaces the old creation/creature which we are to lay aside and conform to the ways of the new creation/creature.Gal 6:15-1615 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And those who will walk…[Read more]

Pierre,It is difficult to see the verse numbers because of the numbered pronouns in the above post.

Quote (Laurel @ Dec. 30 2010,21:27)ALL of the Pagan man-made mighty ones were born on the winter solstice (birth of the sun). How did this happen? They are all the same person whom the whole world worshipped in Babylon before the languages were changed! Tammuz, Zeus, Mithra, were all born on Dec. 25th! and for anyone who may still be decieved,…[Read more]

Georg,From what I read, choosing the 25th of December was motivated out of reaching out to the pagan world and giving them a real reason to celebrate a birth of a true Son of God. That sounds like good intentions to me. Georg, surely you can see that if Christ was born in September as many say, His conception was at the end of December during…[Read more]

No Pierre, I am not pagan. I celebrate Christmas in a Christian way, not a pagan way.

Irene,Christians are celebrating His birth, His conception, and the story surrounding it with the shepherds, the angel's announcement, and the Magi traveling from afar to come to worship Him and that all didn't happen on one day. You are right that some of the Christmas hymns say that Jesus was born 'today' and refer to Dec. 25th and that is…[Read more]

Pierre, you want candy…that's made me smile.We differ on who is at #4 but we are very, very close and that's good.

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 29 2010,03:35)To all,I am here to point out that unless you are fully mature in Christ there are most likely points where you are decieved and deceiving others.  It is my hope the deception comes from ignorance and not corruption.  I am of the opinion that if Ed J. is at fault his fault comes from either carelessness or not f…[Read more]

Edj,Since you are flooding my inbox and then you end up posting the PM's here anyway, which is fine, I will just wait to read them when they show up here. That way you can't accuse me of being 'selective.' I will just wait for you to spend the time reposting them…it saves me time that way.

Pierre and Irene,That account that Irene put up was not about when Jesus was conceived, it was about His birth. It says that He was probably born at the end of September which would make His conception at the end of December. At the end of December the Jews celebrate a manmade/God initiated festival of Hanukah. That festival has to do with…[Read more]
