With its pagan Obelisk standing right in the center.

Hope you don't wear one of those pagan wedding rings.

Seriously folks, I've never gotten this "pagan" argument. I mean, if a pagan group uses a symbol, shape, or letter for their religion, and that religion dies out, and another religion comes along and uses similar symbols, shapes, and letters for their religion, but those symbols are directed toward the worship of Christ, then how can it be pagan?

1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Don't you think some of those people call the Ashera poles "Jehova" poles?

The problem is the mixing of the false religion with true worship.

2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

How many times did the Hebrews get their chops busted over this very sin?

Man, you got that right. Get a load of this garbage I found from a quick Google...

"Christians like to think that they are superior to pagans, heathens, and jews, but they know so little about their own religion that they do not even realize that most of christianity is actually a bastardization of paganism plus judaism. Easter, Christmas, the Cross, these are all originally of pagan origin."

There are all kinds out there... I just hope they don't start posting here.

I guess it all boils down to what the Saviour wanted and as an example left for us to follow. For instance; He celebrated the Sabbath....so did the Apostles. He celebrated the Feast Days outlined in Leviticus 23.....so did the Apostles. He did not bow down to graven images....neither did the Apostles. He said He and the Father were one....so did the Apostles.

Good grief, I could go on all day....but maybe now you get the picture? Jesus did not use Heathen/Pagan images or ideas and neither did the Apostles! Why should you?
