Easter and Christmas involve a lot of pageantry and
celebration and the pagans who converted to Christianity under the
auspices of Roman Catholicism were loathe to give up their satanic
festivities. The solution was Christianize the rituals in order to
appeal to the Christians and appease the pagans. The resulting
spring and winter festivals of Easter and Christmas were replete
with every custom of old. Not a whole lot has changed today as even
those who hate Jesus still participate in the festivities. Ignorant
and undiscerning Christians taking part in the idolatry try to
justify their actions even though the Word of God says otherwise.
You will often hear someone say they are "getting into the spirit of
Christmas," and this true, but they don't know which spirit they are
talking about. There are powerful religious spirits behind these
holidays who want you to participate in something that God looks
upon with disgust. So when it comes to the Christian life, it is the
duty of every believer to exercise discernment. Are you going to
believe the Word of God or a festivity built upon a lie? God wants
you to serve Him in spirit and truth. Do you honestly want to
participate in something that God hates? The choice is yours to
make! |
