well - well - well ....- how eager people are to defend the indefensible- how eager, to find more excuses to spin & attach christian meanings to pagan celebrations - simply because they like the 'warm & fuzzy' feeling these rituals give the conscience ...- how eager, to find more reasons to do what they like - than finding out what God meant when He said: " ... sanctify yourselves ...", seperate yourselves from the world ...- satan doesn't really need to get his spin doctors into gear, christians do all themselves - satan just needs to provide some pagan ritual feasts, sooner or later christians will label them 'acceptable'- how quick they are to 'remove the old landmarks' - Prov 23:10- religion really IS opium for the people
.... at this rate, I can't hardly wait to see the first 'christian halloween' - since obviously 'how we feel about it - and how we dress it up' makes ALL the difference.NOT SO!One could learn a lot from 2 Kings 10:15-36- it is because of
FEEBLE CHRISTIANS that the churches were able to compromise the Word- it is because of
FEEBLE Christianity that the once blessed Nations are reaping curses- Tolerance is
NOT in the Bible- Being zealous for the LORD is almost shameful todayThe sentimental, religious lies which have been peddled as 'having anything to do with God', are simply designed to soothe the undiscerning and gullible and bring them closer to accept rituals into their lives.- anyone having lived under the spiritual whip of hinduism, catholicism, islam and such - can confirm how ridiculous it is for christians to try and pretend these feasts and times are not pagan, and can be re-accepted into a christian's life - with the correct coat of paint- anyone else participating is either willfully ignorant of history and its connotations, or unknowingly ignorant - the outcome is the same in God's eyes.- but no christian can use that excuse - we know too much!Then it would have been better if they hadn't been saved, than turning again from the truth, trying to mask pagan rituals with christian wallpaper. Gal 4:8-10; 2 Peter 2:17-22;
WHICH excuse are YOU going to bring forward on that dreadful day? - That YOU thought it'd be quite ok to feed that sentimental lust inside yourself?- YOU didn't want to hurt the feeliings of your loved ones - by telling them the truth? some love THAT is!- YOU figured you didn't want to be the outcast amongst all those other religious fanatics? What? the cost was too high?Just think on this:
WHAT will be the NEXT thing/principle YOU will give up to avoid confrontation with your enemy?
WHEN WILL YOU START TO DEFEND THE WORD OF GOD?.... lent? what a laugh! sucked in completely!
