Likewise, by "Christianizing" a pagan feast, it has prevented it from dying of neglect like many others, and enabled it to more easily revert into an idolatrous form. Which is exactly what happened with Israel. God knows human nature well enough to know what men will do. And look at what has happened to Christmas and Easter in the last few decades. Commercialization and Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.
Making something new means it has no pagan ties at all.

Making something new means it has no pagan ties at all. The flesh/natural mind will not inherit the kingdom of God, as it cannot be subject to the law of God, no matter how much you dress it up. Beware of decorating trees God has not planted.
