  Woe to the pastors and evangelicals who support this Xmas feast! History of Christmas customs. Celebrating Jesus’ birthday: “The early Christians did not celebrate [Jesus’] birth because they considered the celebration of anyone’s birth to be a pagan custom.”—The World Book Encyclopedia. December 25: There is no proof that Jesus was born on that date. Church leaders likely chose this date to coincide with pagan festivals held on or around the winter solstice. Gift-giving, feasting, partying: The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Saturnalia, a Roman feast celebrated in mid-December, provided the model for many of the merry-making customs of Christmas. From this celebration, for example, were derived the elaborate feasting, the giving of gifts, and the burning of candles.” The Encyclopædia Britannica notes that “all work and business were suspended” during Saturnalia. Christmas lights: According to The Encyclopedia of Religion, Europeans decorated their homes “with lights and evergreens of

  My Opinion!? I am curious here for one of the BIGGEST lies that individuals in the body of Christ tell each other in the church daily or on the sabbath when they come together to worship. Is that they claim to have the love of God within them,and that is a blatant lie of the HIGHEST kind. The reason WHY I say this is founded in ( Psalms 51:5 : Kjv ( Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me) ,So this only means that a diluted version of a carnal human understanding of fickleness is what is given to us as we're growing up,and lied to,and told that this is love.This falesness or lies becomes us,and this is what we give each other,and call it the love of God,and that is where the BIG lie comes in. ,So the sad part here is that this kind of love,and the love of GOD they do not match,and the character references of each of them are not even close. Revelation 3:17 (Niv) 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not

  Does Deuteronomy 24:1-4 say a person can marry their ex-spouse again? Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is about divorce and remarriage. The passage tells us that a man or woman cannot return to a former spouse and marry him or her if the former spouse had subsequently married another person. Here is the passage, When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house, and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife, and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on th

  The Word vs. The World. Word and world alphabetically part company at the fourth letter. We Christians, however, understand there is literally a world of difference between these two words. The Word is God’s message. It purely instructs us how to live a holy life. The world, however, is not pure. It contains both good and evil. This evil is what tries to cunningly trick us away from God’s Word. Sometimes The Word’s simplest rules are hardest to obey. If a cashier gives us too much change, or we notice on the receipt an item in our bag was not paid for, it is easier to ignore the blunder than to go all the way back into the store and correct it. A truth may be broken against the business, but why use our precious time to fix it when it’s such an innocent mistake? The world would tell us not to worry. Companies charge too much for their products anyway. They can afford loosing a few dollars because they cushion their profit margins. But let us read The Word. O, the Lord’s beautiful Wor

  Is The Antichrist homosexual? According to the New Testament Book of John, the Antichrist is the ultimate foe of God. He is referred to as a liar and a deceiver who denies Christ and all of his works. Although the Bible actually has little to say about the Antichrist – he is mentioned by name only five times –; interest in this evil figure has always been intense. Given the dearth of information, many have engaged in wild speculation.The scripture put forth slim evidence for the assertion, citing a murky passage in the eleventh chapter of the Book of Daniel. Interestingly, the verse in question, Daniel 11:37, does not mention the Antichrist by name. It talks instead about a prophecy concerning a Persian king who will amass great power and oppress God’s people. In answering this question, it is important to assert the question does not originate with me, lest someone out there think that I am bringing some new doctrine out to bolster the political climate. But as the study of Bible pr
