Churches that embrace same sex marriage and abortion are probably higher on the list of offenses.
They've been co-opted from within the organization.
We don't worship the trees at church. They are decoration. As as the poinsettas.
Didn't Mary find Jesus in the Temple? What makes you think He wouldn't be observant today?
The temple was not the church. What would he be observant of? Isn't he the head stone? Would he be observant of himself? Did he eat the corn on the sabbath day? Did Jesus establish any holidays? Is the sabbath Saturday or Sunday? Was Christ born on December 25? I could go on and on, but I think these silly arguments have all been hashed and rehashed before! Let the pagans have their holidays, and let the believers have everyday as a testament to God. Doesn't it seem silly to honor God only one day a year? Silly pagans...
