Oh, for crying out loud, get real.

Drunkeness is sinful 365 days a year. The catechism is crystal clear on that.

Having a party is not sinful. Celebrating is not sinful. Rejoicing is not sinful.

However, on Holy Week, our attention ought to be on the passion and death of Our Lord, in preparation for celebrating His resurrection.

What does it say about your "Christian testimony" that you'd make a ridiculous and offensive comment about the "RCC" [sic] teaching that holiness is not important except during Holy Week? Is that the "judge and condemn thy neighbor without evidence" part of your "Christian testimony"?

For crying INSIDE, Let's get REAL!

365 days a year our attention ought to be on the work of Jesus Christ and the need of sinners to come to Him in repentance and faith. NOT just during one week of man-made so-called holy days which were never prescribed in the Scriptures.

The creating of holy days implies to the hearts of un-regenerate but religious sinners that one week is for looking half way straight and outwardly pious, while “partying” is perfectly acceptable the remainder of the year.

Yes, my Christian testimony, in fact, does include a Biblical stand against psuedo-Christian false religious practice; that stand for the benefit of those who understand that God's Word is the final and sole Authority in these matters, and not costumed religious men. There are more New Testament Scriptures instructing TO JUDGE than there are those telling us NOT to judge. Do you know why?
