Hey Truthseeker.

I'm pretty sure that everyone here has heard Christ Mass is the pagan Babylonian Saturnalia, the birthday of Baal, Hercules and Mithra. I'm pretty sure everyone knows the priests of the sun god sacrificed children and ate them during Saturnalia in many parts of the world. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that God commands his children to not involve themselves in the ways of the heathen, and that it doesn't please God to mix truth with a lie, or especially to call such a cocktail 'holy'. I'm also pretty sure everyone has read Jeremiah 10:2-5, which clearly illustrates the ancient pagan 'Christ Mass' tree that Americans erect in their homes, which is clearly called a heathen vanity. I'm also pretty sure they know that God ANNIHILATED Israel and brought them captive into Babylon for involving themselves in the pagan Baal and Grove customs. They probably have also read in Revelation where Christ tells his children 'Come out of her, my people', regarding Babylon. They know Christ Mass is a custom 'highly esteemed among men' and they've read Luke 16:15 , 'that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God'.

Anyone who still wants to celebrate the Christ Mass after hearing these things cannot be convinced otherwise on grounds of biblical morality. They will frowardly twist as many scriptures as they can to keep their Grove custom, even to the point of believing that anything is okay as long as it makes them happy and doesn't make them feel guilty ("the 'Holy Ghost' hasn't convicted me yet!"... see, it's all about 'feeling'), or as long as they slap a Christ label on it.

... Almost seems pointless to continue giving out facts at this point. You know?

It makes me a little happy to at least I know there are a few others in this forum who have eyes to see this stuff..

If people want to drink of the filthy cocktail cup of the Whore of Babylon and involve themselves in the spiritual fornication of Roman Catholic corruptions, there's not much we can do to change their minds. Especially when they consider it 'innocent' and 'for the kids' (teaching the kids spiritual fornication, and to pursue the lust of the eyes from the tree, the things of this world).

You don't even know what 'using the name of the Lord in vain' means.

And, there are beliefs and convictions that I hold that others may not support. To discuss them is one thing, but, as Christians, we should keep things civil. I believe that is a "posting requirement" as well.
..I was thinkin about this earlier, too., I believe that those who ABSTAIN from celebrating as "the world" does should not be ridiculed for that either., fair is fair. We are to seek to be "at peac with all men/women"..I TRY.

No one is arguing with the fact that you choose not to celebrate Christmas, that is entirely your choice, and you shouldn't be ridiculed.

What we have issue with is your rationale, and your little "prayer". Your little "prayer" is ridiculing every Christian who DOES celebrate Christmas.
