New law bans 'Christmas' for Asturias kids [ Spain ]
The Local - Spain ^ | 20 May 2013 | Alex Dunham

Posted on 05/21/2013 3:21:15 PM PDT by george76

Schoolchildren in the northern Spanish region of Asturias will no longer be able to call Christmas by its name now that a new law passed by the local education ministry prohibits the use of “religious” terms in the classroom when referring to the December and spring holidays.

Teachers and pupils in Asturias classrooms will now have to refer to Christmas as “winter holidays” and Easter as “second term holidays”.

If people obey this law, then Christmas and Easter don’t really mean much to them anyway.

Sounds pretty much a stretch of the truth, Christmas in Spanish is NAVIDAD, that word isn’t even in the Bible, not in the Spanish Bible. Neither is Easter, there is no word EASTER in the Spanish language except Dia de La Resurreccion, Day of the Resurrection. There is Saturday of Glory, and Holy Friday, but nothing in Spanish that is a religious term. They are really hard up for making laws in Spain.

Spain wants to load the kids up onto the express train to Hell.

...or maybe it’s the express boxcar

This is on our horizon.......already I noticed, in the Science Museum in London, that BC (as in Before Christ)is no longer used. The dates now have BCE, Before Common Events. Without religion, there is no morality. But the Socialists, etc. , already know that.

Or - much more likely - it has already been fulfilled.

The Church will be here for the whole shebang, right up until Christ returns on clouds of glory and the elements are melted with fire, as per 2 Peter 3:10.

A plain reading of 2 Thessalonians 4 shows there is nothing "secret" about the rapture. Most of these "in-between state" ideas were invented in the 19th Century by one John Nelson Darby.

The 1,000 years of Revelation serves as an allegory. Christ is reigning now, at this moment.

I never said it was a secret, either, so, wherever you error begins at, I suggest you start there :)

We're not going to agree on this.

We do agree, though, that the world grows ever more brazen in flouting God's revealed will in His law, and that whatever follows, we know how it ends... SDG
