O you who love the Lord, hate evil! – Psalm 97:10 ~ There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. – Proverbs 14:12

Foolish is the one who enters into research with conclusions before they have uncovered the facts. Far more foolish is the one who refuses to research and “prove all things” before doing them. Also, too many today offend GOD in their desire to avoid offending others.
I have written on the subject of the pagan “holy days” (i.e. holidays) as celebrated by many around the world including four of the eight pagan witch sabbaths or holidays known as Yule or Christmas, Ostara or Easter, Litha or Midsummer’s Day, and Samhain or Halloween. These holidays are some of the better known of the eight Baal sabbaths which occur on the quarterly and cross-quarterly milestones of the earth’s rotation around the sun. A full list of the eight witch sabbaths can be seen here and here.

Why is it that the God-fearing discerning children have to be the ones scattered? God no sooner approves of christianizing pagan traditions, slapping Jesus’ name on it, making it a holy day which He did not ordain, and worshiping Him with the same customs as the heathen do their gods today as He did when the Jews incorporated heathen practices in their worship of Him! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God is not going to be winking at the paganism in the visible Church for much longer. Nor is He going to approve of undiscerning pastors who let every fraudster speak deceits to His children.
Don’t get mad and full of “righteous” anger at those who do not attend church, nor say smart-alecky things about church shoppers! We aren’t into worshiping with the goats who love their pagan/worldly traditions and false prophets and false teachings.
A very good reminder:
FTA:Be patient when you share the word of God, or give spiritual advice to others…Think about the fact that when Jesus was in His human form, his biological brothers (Mary’s other sons) did not believe in Him…
Sometimes we can get frustrated when we share God’s truth or fresh revelation and people don’t respond the way we had hoped.
They may respond negatively…
They may even tell you that they don’t want to hear it…
They may tell you that you’re confused…
They may tell you that they just aren’t ready to change…
Once you plant a seed, you can’t force it to grow…We plant and water, but God gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:6-8 (NKJV)
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
We must remember…we didn’t always immediate agree with everything we heard concerning God the first time.
We didn’t immediately take heed to every bit of good, sound spiritual advice we received.
We didn’t immediately stop sinful practices when someone warned us.
There were…

From the post, “Christmas-Perpetuating the Lie”:
We as human beings are very influenced by our peers. Christmas has been one of those issues for me. I feel it’s time to share, with those who would be interested to hear, why I do not celebrate Christmas. Maybe a better way of saying it would be why I try not to celebrate Christmas. It seems to me that there is something supernatural “surrounding” the celebration of Christmas, because the pull to conform is incredible. This is what the Lord has shown me:…
There are certain principles to be gleaned from the life of Pilate. Years ago as I was seeking the Lord about celebrating Christmas I was led to study the following. I believe the principles apply. There are many reasons why we don’t do what we know to be right. The following excerpts are from the study notes of the New Life Application Bible:
“For Pilate there was never a doubt about Jesus’ innocence.
Pilate went against what he knew was right.
Pilate chose the easier path rather than standing up against the crowd.
Pilate’s greatest sin was compromising what he knew to be true and right for the sake of position, status, and personal gain.
Pilate had no good excuse to condemn Jesus, but he was afraid of the mob.
In making no decision, Pilate made the decision to let the crowds crucify Jesus. Although he washed his hands, the guilt remained. Washing your hands of a tough situation doesn’t cancel your guilt. It merely gives you a false sense of peace. Don’t make excuses – take responsibility for the decisions you make.”

Did the pagans borrow these customs from the bible? Or did Christians borrow these customs from the pagans? Seriously.
1 Cor. 10:21:You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
