Read Jeremiah 10, and see if God approves of such. I assure you, He does not.

I have more than once. The problem is worshiping the tree. I am a bit of a scrooge so I don't care one way or the other I just don't care for people who force their views on everyone else because they are too cheap to buy a present for someone. (That wasn't aimed at you, just those that I know who are that way.)

Because I want to. I want people to see from the Word what the Bible says. So, they cannot say it is my opinion, but what the Word says.
So, I do.

To ackowledge an idol is a idol is not to worship it. To take time to make a day something special is to set it apart. Christmas is not Christian and you making it special which further brings about a lie to say what you are doing is Christian. I imagine you probably lied about Santa Claus and felt good to huh?

God speak and said it was the way of the heathen. So, shall we use the way of the heathen and worship God? I think not.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ( 2 Corinthians 7:1)
Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. "And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty. ( 2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
I am not giving advice, just the Word. Let God be the one who tells them what to do. I know this means little to some, but if one chooses to disobey God's Word, then their blood is upon their hands. Come out and be separate is still the call to the believers. This includes pagan holy days.
Let the Word give advice. |
But Bro. Price, you seem to have a great deal of difficulty deciding what God is saying. People have disagreed about what God wants from the beginning of time. There is no perfect doctrine. There are no perfect people. You're not perfect. I'm not perfect. And that's not a terrible thing.

Bill, you are never consistent, and even if you said Jesus was Lord, (even though it's true) people would doubt your sincerity. In other words Bill, you're not helping the cause. 
In Jesus name
