I'm speaking about a corrupt religious system that rejects God's Judgments and Statutes, and creates their own to walk in. You know your birthday, and your kids, even Hitlers, but not Jesus', because God never revealed it to us in scriptures. I am free to have fun, but not free to do whatever I want with whatever day I want. I'm a purchased possession.
I don't care what you christmas people do with your days. I'm pointing out a religious system that full well rejects the judgments and statutes of God so that they can promote and live by their own righteousness and their own high days. If it weren't for Constantine, you wouldn't be observing these manmade high days, because they are not taught in Scriptures. This is simply true. Does it matter? Certainly not to the religoins of this world.
This world's religions have rejected the days that "God esteemed" above others and have created their own high days in worship of some random long haired handsome man they call Jesus, that they claim was born on Dec. 25th. And you can follow suit and adopt their religion, their god, and their high days as your own if you want. And surely the "christmas custom has been around for a long time before Jesus was even born.
Jer. 10 "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
I find it fascinating that Jesus says the world hates Him, and would hate me for following Him. And truly the Feasts of the Lord are despised and rejected by this world and its religions. But the Catholic high day of christmas, is embraced by the entire planet in some form.
Do these things mean anything? Well Rockson, not to you, because as you said, you will do what you want, when you want to do it, and you are teaching your children to live by the same doctrine.
I believe that according to Scriptures, this way of life is a mistake.
These manmade religious high days are man's righteousness, not God's. This is simply Biblical Truth. Does it matter? Certainly not to this world's religions.
Do I have to reject God's judgments and Statutes to have fun in your religion? Can you and your children have fun without promoting and defending this world's religious high days? I know my family and I have fun following the "Way of the Lord" that Jesus promoted. Actually, a lot more blessings and fun than when we were snared by the traditions of this world.
But you are defending the high day. And you associate it with Jesus' birthday and teach this to your children as well. But it isn't His birthday. and it IS a catholic high day that wasn't taught, promoted or walking in by any example of Faithful man in the entire Bible. Does this matter? Not to the religious sects and businesses of this world.
I know you are not this ignorant, you are just trolling me now. Surely even you, must know the difference between a man made religious high day, that God specifically teaches against creating, and a sidewalk sale. Come on Rockson. I brought it up because of what is written in Scriptures.
Rev. 18: 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance "of her delicacies".
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Maybe the God "of the bible" doesn't like it when men place His Son's Name on ancient pagan high days, while they teach others to reject the Judgments and statutes of God that Jesus walked in. Maybe God doesn't like it when religious men, who call His Son, Lord, Lord, teach their children and others to reject the days HE Esteems above others, in favor of ancient catholic high days.
For me, why would I want to dishonor God by claiming to know Him, yet placing His Son's Name on known pagan high days that HE warned me about?
I'm surprised by this from you, although I probably shouldn't be.
Fascinating isn't it. The "Way of the Lord" that Jesus, and every member of God's Church walked in from the beginning of scriptures, doesn't promote blessings and kindness and love to others in your religion. But ancient pagan high days, adopted into "Christianity" centuries after Jesus ascended, by Constantine, a known sun worshipper makes you feel loved and prompts you to show kindness to others.
That's messed up Rockson. My family and I are almost 30 years separated from the religions of this world and their traditions. I find the reality the exact opposite.
You are free to worship as you please. I am simply pointing out some Biblical Truths, worldly truths, and many years of experience to share with you another path. The Path Jesus walked. This Path doesn't include manmade doctrines and religious high days, and it has been very good for my family and me. I highly recommend it, although this world's religious businesses and the merchants of the world they are partners with would want you to continue supporting the catholic high days.
