Whoosh was the sound of my previous grammatically challenged post going over your highly intelligent head.

Perhaps we could get back on topic?

One thing that is true about paganism is that many of our holidays originated as pagan holidays.

Now, this may be uncomfortable for a lot of people here - but remember we were celebrating Christmas long before God gave His word to King James.

Is it possible that these pagans occasionally heard the Word of God but because they had not heard it written down as clearly as King James, they became confused? After all, even today many people find religion confusing and today they have the benefit of the Bible.

We celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus, not some stupid rock.

Re: Paganism

There can be no denying that there are unbelievers and followers of false prophets and that these unbelievers may stand close enough to a Godly man and thus catch a whiff of the Holy Spirit – not sufficient to grant any real understanding or be granted Salvation™, but enough for God to place a little Christianity in their heart.

However, never forget that, as Genesis shows that at the start all were Christian, then pagans must have come after Christianity and thus they wilfully rejected God and thus are Damned.

Much better. I'm happy to see that you got your nurse or whoever it is who takes care of you to write your posts for you.

That is a very good point, however I don't know that we could describe them as Christian by today's standards because at the time Christ Himself had not been born, nor had his Coming been announced.

Christmas is not and never has been a pagan holiday. What happened was satan went back in time and planted the idea in pagan heads because he knew Jesus was going to be born on December 25.

Thank you for that, Pastor, I did learn a few things. However, one thing that does concern me is why do those who call themselves "Christians" celebrate Christmas as Jesus' birthday if Jesus wasn't even born in the winter?

What's important is that we celebrate the birth of our Savior.

When are you going to give your life over to Christ, demon?

Well I do agree with you on that. Even if it is on the wrong date, but better late (or would it be early?) than never right?

When are you? Do you really think that this is what Christ and God intended? To go about yelling at peole who believe differnently than you? To go about killing people who don't believe what you do? Because I'm pretty sure that thats not what God wants.

I'm absolutely sure you are wrong:

De:5:7: Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Le:26:30: And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

1Ki:15:12: And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

You think you're right, and I think I'm right, so can we agree to disagree?

No.

You're wrong because you are a witch and your father is satan.

No.

First, my father is a Christain.
Second, I'm threw with you so call "Christains". You are nothing by think headed, ignorant, idiots! You hide behind the bible because you're scared of the real world and things that are different. FEAR BREEDS IGNORANCE! And you my friend and a child of that. I would sure as hell like to know what load of crap you're parents taught you, because they did not do a good job. And I would love to take a bible and shove it up your "Christain" ass! You people make me ashamed to have ever been Christain and you are an insult to the human race and to God. You think you're going to heaven because you worship God, but you sure ain't doing a good job at it. You are horrible people and will spend the rest of your life in Hell where Satan will welcome you with open arms. You sick twisted people!

I'm done trying to help you see the light. If you wanna live in your little perfect "bible world" then thats fine. Go ahead and ban me if you want, I don't give a damn anymore. This will be the last time you hear from me. Or at least on this account.
