Zone1 Christmas and easter

[kjw47]

All know its 100% fact that Catholicism, who created both of those holidays, took pagan false god worship festivals and pagan things straight off the table of demons and added them to both those holidays. The encyclopedias are filled with facts on that matter. BUT. 1Cor 10:21 assures--one CANNOT partake off the table of God and the table of demons. And since to God 1000 years is as a day, its like 2 days ago to his memory. Thus God or Jesus would NEVER accept anything with pagan false god worship things added.
Its the same as the following--- Say you ask for a drink of water, yet the one giving it to you adds 4 drops of sewer water to your water to drink, would you drink it? Would you drink it 2 days later=NO. Jesus feels the same about both of those holidays.
What the bible calls -BLIND GUIDES fail to teach truth on the matter. Thus God says you cannot partake off his table since you are being mislead to partake off the table of demons. Mislead to not get eternal life in Gods kingdom.
Satan and his teachers( 2Cor 11:12-15) transformed into angels of light and have fooled 99% on earth.

Say you ask for a drink of water, yet the one giving it to you adds 4 drops of sewer water to your water to drink, would you drink it?

At what point does wine turn into Christ's blood? In the cup, in the mouth or in the digestive system?

Ugh. Another one of these. I came into the thread, after viewing titles, guessing "Seals" for $200, Alex.

Jesus feels the same about both of those holidays.

I'm always uneased hearing somebody assert that they're speaking for Jesus.

Its just symbolic. Yet That covenant( Luke 22:29-30) to partake was made only to those who will sit on thrones=( little flock)144,000--not to the great crowd.

Have you heard of inflation? Its my 2 1/2 cents now.
I didn't speak for Jesus, God did-1Cor 10:21--So in light of that does one actually think Jesus would accept anything with additives off the table of demons?

Christian holidays are organic and developed over time. I feel sorry for you. What miserable outlook you get from the JW aversion to education.

God snatched the Pagan rites of Christmas and Easter away from the heathens and purified them, just to show His own glory.

Just like He seized hold of the fierce, Pagan, warlike Roman Empire, the mightiest empire in the world at one time, and turned it into the world's center of Catholicism.

Catholicisms own encyclopedia says both those holidays gravitated out of pagan holidays and practices. As do encyclopedias of facts.
Maybe you missed-Santa=Satan, steals 98% of the holiday away from Jesus. He begins the day after thanksgiving and is #1 on Dec 25th morning. Now since God exacts exclusive devotion and Jesus is his image, Jesus expects the same-exclusive devotion. Not sharing 98% with satan claus.

Nothing off the table of demons can be purified. Its why God warned against partaking off of that table=1Cor 10:21--those that do cannot partake off Gods table, yet the blind are trying to do both because they don't listen to God, they listen to blind guides.

Everyone knows that. So what? Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus and the resurrection. Both are great family holidays..

Can't you afford to celebrate Easter and Christmas or do you just dislike family times and celebrating the life of Christ?

Funny thing about our Father. If you decide to honor God by not eating Fish on Tuesdays, God will count that as righteousness on your part. If you decide to honor God by eating fish on Tuesdays, God will count as righteousness on your part. It's the intent. It's what is in your heart.

The practices were supposed to replace pagan rituals with some rituals about Christ instead.
A church full of people singing praises to His Risen Son, on Easter morning, he'll count as righteousness on their part. Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve will be counted as righteousness. They are there to thank God for the birth of His Son. And if 2 or more are there, Christ will be there too.
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions among critics of Early Christianity - The Catholic Church - when it became the official religion of the Roman Empire - ending a 300+ year feud - essentially fulfilling what Christ had promised - beginning Christ's reign on Earth.

Sol Invictus - The "Unconquered Sun" was the highest ranked deity in Rome at the time - his "day" was celebrated on December 25th. When this day was given to celebrate the birth of Christ - it officially stated to all of Rome that Jesus was the Christ. To Christians he was the true "Christ - The Unconquered Son of God" while to pagans, he replaced their highest ranking deity - to become the new "Unconquered Sun" of the Roman Empire. IT WAS THE "BIRTH OF CHRIST'S REIGN ON EARTH".

CHRISTIANS DID NOT "STEAL THE HOLIDAY FROM PAGANS" IT WAS GIVEN TO THEM OUT OF ABSOLUTE HONOR, RESPECT AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE FACT THAT CHRISTIANITY AND THEIR CHRIST, JESUS NOW REIGNED SUPREME AMONG ALL OF ROME. (The Roman Empire was most of the known ,civilized world at the time). It would have been considered the biggest act of honor imaginable - without question.

So tell me again, how early Christians conspired to form "The Roman Catholic Church"? - you conspiracy theorists need to take a step back and go back to basics instead of letting the Spirit of Discord and Deception enter your minds, hearts and souls - the very same Spirit you accuse the Catholic Church of representing - what a bunch of total nonsense. I'll pray for you and do yourselves a favor - learn some history, acknowledge your errors and move on.

Except for the fact that:

The Hebrew term śāṭān (Hebrew: שָׂטָן) is a generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary",[8][9] and is derived from a verb meaning primarily "to obstruct, oppose". In most early translations, Satan (The actual angel) was referenced as "the accuser" and in many cases, subordinate to God and did as God instructed him to do.

It wasn't until almost the middle ages that the English word "Satan" became synonymous with "The Devil" - and became the "horned looking demon figure" - which is ironic because the word "Devil" is also .mistranslated....

Yahweh, the god in pre-exilic Judaism, created both good and evil, as stated in Isaiah 45:7: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. [8] Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it."

The devil does not exist in Jewish scriptures. However, the influence of Zoroastrianism during the Achaemenid Empire introduced evil as a separate principle into the Jewish belief system, which gradually externalized the opposition until the Hebrew term satan developed into a specific type of supernatural entity, changing the monistic view of Judaism into a dualistic one.[71] Later, Rabbinic Judaism rejected[when?] the Enochian books (written during the Second Temple period under Persian influence), which depicted the devil as an independent force of evil besides God.[72] After the apocalyptic period, references to Satan in the Tanakh are thought[by whom?] to be allegorical.[73]

And drum roll....The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick’s Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas).


Sinter Klaus - Satan? Nope - not a match, try again.


And for what its worth, Lucifer is not and never has been the "devil" or "Satan". It means "Light Bringer - Morning Star" Jesus himself is regarded as the "Morning Star - aka - Lucifer" in the book of Revelation. Understand?

I dislike what God and his son hates= things off the table of demons.

It is symbolism, leave folks alone to worship and stop asking inane questions.

Satan entered before God in Job 1:6-7
The angel being who fell and was called satan and devil was( the anointed Cherub. That is when) he was the bright morning star, not after.

Technically... evil is the absence of good.
