They admit to paganism but they follow those beautiful customs/traditions anyway. Just another of their choosing death and not life.
even as the sublime service of our Church reminds us of the ‘peace on earth’ which the babe of Bethlehem came to bestow<
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' Matthew 10:34-36
The CC is based on deception as is ALL their 'traditions/teachings'. They move their subjects away from God's Word more and more until they are in complete bondage to them/man which leaves them unteachable and they shall remain in bondage.
I do believe that is among the definitions of a cult.
