So is Chris now one of those fanatics that doesn’t celebrate Christmas, Halloween or Easter?

Is he one that doesn’t put up a Christmas tree or have fun with his kids with Santa, the Easter Bunny or taking them trick-or-treating or celebrating their birthdays? Is he one that thinks carving a pumpkin or putting on a costume is evil? Or eating a Christmas dinner or putting up a nativity scene or dying Easter eggs? Or having a classroom party at his kids’ school so his kids have to sit out and miss the fun? He must be a real blast at the office Christmas party, too.

If he’s now one of these people that sits at home on these holidays reading his bible instead of doing these fun things with his family he’s going to have a hard time convincing me or a lot of other people that this is the new life for us.

I doubt Christ would even want to be a part of this group either.

Well then you should just stay with your fun things. Or perhaps you could show us where Jesus and the apostles taught the celebration of Easter.

Yeah... Because it’s all about fun, ain’t it?

Chris said he was Evangelical...not Jehovah Witness.

Not sure where that came from??? Comments like these only point out how little Romanists understand Evangelical Protestants

As for trying to convince anyone to come to Christ ...I will quote the oft quoted John 6
44"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45"It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.…

Gee - just a little searching and you wouldn't have needed to post your SUPPOSITION! Reaching the Partially Evangelized this Christmas

I doubt Christ would even want to be a part of this group either

And I doubt that you truly know Christ.

Welcome to one of the most contentious site on the Web!


Jude 1:3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
