And? What does this Scripture teach us about the subject at hand? And how does it relate to the other Scriptures already brought forth in this discussion which show that God's people are prohibited from adapting devil worship to the worship of God?
Please elaborate?

Seriously, your thinking is extremely flawed. We are not to incorporate other religious practices with the practice of following Jesus. Jesus wasn't born in December 25th. Mithra, yes, Jesus no. Again, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if you were born and raised in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. Russians who are raised in Orthodoxy don't even acknowledge December 24th and the 25th. If the Romans didn't baptize Mithraism into their ideology of their church. You wouldn't even care about December 25th. So, your protection and defense of this day is simply sentimental and within the tradition you were raised in.

If I simply am meditating and contemplating an aspect of Christ, and am not burning incense, lighting candles, ringing bells, etc, then I am pretty sure I have not "incorporated other religions" into my practice.
Mithra, yes, Jesus no.
And, right or wrong, the Empire may have hijacked Mirthra's day as a way to RESIST paganism. But that day does not belong to Mirthra because Mirthra is a fable. Celebrating the birth of Christ on that day does NOT constitute paganism.
Again, we wouldn't even be having this discussion if you were born and raised in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. Russians who are raised in Orthodoxy don't even acknowledge December 24th and the 25th.
Who cares? Why give so much attention to a 24-hour revolution of the sun? Mexicans celebrate January 6. Big whoop!! We merit NOTHING from God by celebrating or not celebrating on these days.
If the Romans didn't baptize Mithraism into their ideology of their church. You wouldn't even care about December 25th. So, your protection and defense of this day is simply sentimental and within the tradition you were raised in.
Again, if they did as you say, they did so in order to SUPPLANT the memory of Mithraism, which is commendable.

Re: Merry Christmas to one and all !!
I love Pastor Woodward, his end of the year message to his church is on the money.
"After the year was expired"

But yeah, the pagan worship message was sad.
