Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

As one who has been in several different Apostolic churches, over the years. This discussion always seem to be about how one individual is more righteous than another.
How about the scripture that says that one man esteemeth one day above another and another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
I think that applies, here.

What days do you think the writer was speaking of when he penned those words?

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

We didn't put up a tree for years for the same reasons. Now, we do and I'm glad. We still tryt to avoid the commercialism and all that bad stuff. But we do try to celebrate that we are together and that Jesus came to this world so that we might be delivered from sin.

Don't be compassionate in your decisions. Make all of them by whether you might look like a pagan. Like using the word Thursday.

My my my...

We do have a plethora of sarcastic commentary being dealt out towards those who do not practice the holiday and their reasons for doing so.

Sorry if I sounded sarcastic. The word Thursday is pagan. In order to be consistent, a non-tree putter upper shoud perhaps look into it.
