you know it is boxing day when you get adverts for easter eggs on tv....

you can tell it is summer when the tv shows nothing but adverts for "must have greediness" ready for Christmas

and now here at worthy ..in the middle of AUGUST

Same here in the U.S., lpt. Halloween stuff is already in the stores and we're languishing in 100 plus temps every day. Crass commercialism at it's best, for sure. Every year, when Christmas is over, I breathe a sigh of relief because I'm sick to death of it by then. Of course, as they discount the Christmas stuff in the stores, they're setting out the Valentines at the same time! Yeah, I can see how 'Bah, Humbuginess' is starting early this year. I think I may have it too. On the original post, it doesn't bother me that Christimas and Easter were originally pagan holidays because I know we, as Christians, are celebrating our Savior.

In the book of Jeremiah 10:1-5 the bible tells us NOT to learn the way of the heathen/pagan. And talks about how the heathen go out, cut a tree down, stand it upright with ropes and then deck it with silver and gold. So by these verses we know that it is a sin to decorate a tree for any reason because it is what the pagans do. If you will do the research you will find that neither Christmas or Easter were celebrated for the first 300 years of the church because the early church leaders considered celebrating birthdays as being pagan. (By the way in some NIV versions of the bible the words "deck it with silver and gold" have been removed from the word of God). And in the only two biblically recorded birthday celebrations a man was killed as part of the celebration. Your research should tell you that everything that has anything to do with Christmas comes from paganism. It was only after the Roman church took over and the Jerusalem church faded away did paganism inter into the worship of Christ.

One can trace the birth of Christ to the last half of the month of September during the Feast of the Tabernacles and the feast of the Tabernacle is celebrated to give thanks for Gods provision for us. And Jesus is Gods provision for us. If God wanted us to celebrate His Sons birthday He would have told us to do so. Even the word/name mistletoe means "dung on a twig" and it was believed that this bird dung was the giver of life.

In Eze. 8:16-18 the bible speaks of 25 men who have turned their backs to the temple and were facing the east. Who were worshipping the sun towards the sun. The only time one can face the east and worship the sun is in the morning IE a sunrise service. So by these scriptures we know that it is a sin to attend sunrise services for any reason. Not to mention that ALL of everything that has to do with Easter has everything to do with paganism. If there were ever a thing that the Roman church was successful at it was deceiving the Christian masses about these holidays.

The fact of the matter is that both of these holidays are man made and have nothing to do with Christ or God. If you want to celebrate Christ you should do it at the proper biblecally designated time. Which is during the feast of the Tabernacles.

You can color paganism any which way you want, but it is still paganism

Now you and everybody else who reads this thread have been properly informed that these 2 holidays are 100% pagan. That the word of God speaks out against these pagan rituals and that God considers this a sin against Him and His Son.

There is nothing in this world that justifies using pagan ritual in the worship of God or His Son and if you continue to do so you will receive your just rewards for rebellion against God and His word.

You know that "christmas tree" stuff has been refuted and proven wrong so many times it isn't funny. Good grief!

never mind my post..it was wrong of me to say it..I didn't mean to sound harsh, but I did and I am sorry to anyone who read it....

edited because I no longer want to say what I said...

We should be living for Jesus 365 days year. The religious celebrate Christmas and Easter with no mention of Christ............but plenty of booze and food and candy. To the world it is Santa Claus and Easter bunny time. I don't see anyone denying themselves, but what they can get as a present.

I thought it was more blessed to give than to receive.

The secular observance of Christmas and Easter deceives the lost to think they "are" christians, when they are not!
