I’m not mocking. I’m telling it like it is. Most of the symbols used for today’s Christian holidays have pagan roots, as does the timing for Christian holidays. To object to the pagan roots of Halloween while ignoring the pagan roots of Christmas, and Easter is hypocrisy.
All of these holidays have the exact same level of paganism in their history. All of the major symbols for these holidays come straight from those pagan roots. If you’re going to object to one then be consistent and object to them all. No Christmas Trees, no Easter Eggs, no pagan symbols in you holidays. Or be consistent the other way and realize that the Christians won, that all these holidays are EX-pagan, that all these symbols are EX-pagan, and that Christianity has taken it all over and made them all Christian holidays.
Good points. I agree.
Awakening a church that’s “comfortable” takes time. We don’t do eggs but we do have a tree. Most of our members are oldsters. Their thinking is changing, slowly. The young families embrace truth and change more readily.
