But this confirms again how folks will use scripture to believe anything they want to. We all do it. But to me the answer is you have to have a LOVE for the TRUTH or you will be deceived.

Wow so taking something pagan and throwing the Christ bow on it makes it Christian.... I like how you use scripture to back up using pagan holidays and God saying that is okay to use it. LOL!

Yes, and I am amazed how you ignore the clear teaching of scripture while trying to make Deborah the standard for all time. Sorry but anyone using Deborah as teaching on the subject is poor. You have no direct teaching to support your view at all. NONE! Yeah, Paul isn't clear on this.
1Ti 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.
I will not say anymore as it is off topic.

Really? How about the Epiphany? To celebrate the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist? Neck, you are using the same arguments that are presented by Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodoxy. What religion are you in?

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!
I guess I'm just a simple person, but I see a party here!
Luke 2 - 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “ Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Doesn't seem wrong to set aside one day to wish peace on earth and goodwill toward men!

Aren't mothers women? You said women can only teach children and other women. So does that mean children who are still children, and their children regardless of age? Is that your slant on it?

Never said you ever did. Emma is your extension, a mask you put on to show an exaggerated view of those who keep separation standards of dress. You take her out when opposite views from yours are being discussed. You think it’s funny, and you enjoy it.

I have relatives who are Jews and Atheists, and they are benevolent and kind, and show love for those who agree with them also.
