>>ALL Christians, those STRONG in the Word, should study the profane, it's symbolism and rites, and be familiar with the character of it's gods.<<

That image is an abomination. Virtually all of Catholicism at this point is based on paganism. Unfortunately most of the Protestant churches have retained much of that paganism. Those truly searching for truth need to seriously study to find where "traditions"/and beliefs in the churches they attend came from.

Yes indeed, it is. I mean, by the very definition.

Virtually all of Catholicism at this point is based on paganism.

At this point, and every point along the way, I think. One cannot possibly draw the Roman church out of the Nazarene sect of Judaism, that which was the beginning - It is impossible. And the closer one would care to move the genesis of the Roman church toward that beginning (as they are so oft inclined to brag), the more impossible it becomes. Literally impossible.

Unfortunately most of the Protestant churches have retained much of that paganism. Those truly searching for truth need to seriously study to find where "traditions"/and beliefs in the churches they attend came from.

This is absolutely TRUE, and can be proven without much effort at all.

Good post. Thx.
