Like an election, there is a time for campaigning (convincing) and a time for voting. It is past the time for convincing. Vote in any box you choose. Have thine own way.
Lu 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Re 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
2:16,17 - "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day, things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ."
Galatians 4:9-11 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?
(10) You observe days and months and seasons and years.
(11) I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.
I fear that we waste far too much time arguing over things which are a "mere shadow of what is to come" and pay far too little attention to Christ, Himself
Didn't someon once say that a little leven levens the whole lump?
Isn't renaming pagan celebrations similar to putting new wine into old skins? Using pagan deities and symbols with new 'Christian' names hardly replaces the old spiritual aspects of those celebrations.
You seem to advocate using 'liberty' to practice paganism.

If a person refuses to obey Him, they don't know Him.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
De 32:12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Israel was led out of bondage when there were no strange god found in it, and into bondage when there were. If a person chooses to whore around with strange gods (Idolatry), then it is an easy step to whore around with another man's wife Adultery/Fornication/Unfaithfulness which IS Idolatry.). Any god will do, any woman will do. Same principle.
Jesus said, Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Freakin' and other words are models after F---ing and Frigging which are related to illicit sex, witchcraft and strange gods. If the Holy Spirit was resident in your heart, He would be telling you to get rid of the garbage...to choose godliness and not resist truth.
Frigg (frîg) or Frigga, Norse mother goddess and the wife of WODEN. Of great importance in GERMANIC RELIGION, she was queen of the heavens, a deity of love and the household.Your use of the above F-word is reflective of your heart condition. It is apparent that what dwells within is not holy.
Pr 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Mt 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Jesus said we can tell who is true and false by inspecting fruit.
Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
>The fact of the matter is that they are still overtly Christian.
Actually Christmas is overtly pagan.
Merry Christmas to you. Yeah, it will be around after, too.
Consider them conquered territory. They used to be pagan days of celebration; now they're Christian days of celebration.
We have the freedom in Christ to celebrate Christmas if we choose. If you choose not to take advantage of that freedom and stay enslaved to the past, then that's your loss.
Tolerance is part of the STRONG DELUSION which is a propaganda technique of satanic globalists (See 122 ) and which includes Ecumenism, Pluralism, Ceasefire, Centrism, Disarmament, Flatteries, Tolerance, Multiculturalism, Diversity, Compromise, Unity, Cooperation, and "Peace and Security." They are all tools of the enemy used to defeat America, the West and Christendumb. They are the doctrine of the antichrist and directly opposite to what the L~rd requires. Tolerance causes one to be Lukewarm and those who yield to it will be spewed out.

>Merry F*&^%*# Christmas you self righteous twit.
You had a choice to yield to righteousness or to yield to a demon leading you to unrighteousness. You have made a poor choice.
Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
It is up to you to mortify your own flesh, or you will get a demon as a helpmeet just as you evidenced above.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
"Judge Rightly" Is Not Some Guy’s Name
Nice is NOT a fruit of the Spirit
Not in my household. See my other post for a dose of sanity.
Who said so? You or G~d? Show me where He changed, please. Chapter and verse.
Ps 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
>Merry Christmas to you. Yeah, it will be around after, too.
I remembered the other day that someone had a dream or vision of the attack against America "on Christmas" so I did an internet search. I found TWO, not just one, which said it would be on Christmas and at night. Neither person knew what year this would occur. Radar should be looking for more than Santa and his reindeer in the sky at night. I don't know if that is true or not. If it is and it doesn't happen this year, then perhaps you have another year to seek the L~rd for repentance.
