The problem is there is the pagan use of things and a Christian use of things. God sees into our heart about our usage. Most people don't know about the pagan usage. For them they just understand the Christian view. Easter and Christmas have the most pagan symbols used. Eggs and bunnies on Easter are sex related. Christmas tree and yule log symbolize a pagan God being reborn every year with the image of the tree growing out of the log. Shall I go on?
Lol..I had to laugh at your reply..eggs and bunnies on Easter are SEX related..only bunny I know is sex related is PLAYBOY bunnies..lol. Next you'll say jelly beans are eaten by Satan himself..lol
Christmas got commercialized but it Does have interesting religious history (see below)
Story of St Nicholas (Santa Clause(
Born in Patara, a land that is part of present-day Turkey, circa 280, St. Nicholas was a Christian bishop who helped the needy. After his death, the legend of his gift-giving grew. St. Nicholas transformed into the legendary character called Santa Claus, who brings Christmas presents to children around the world.Apr 1, 2014
Yule log (don't trust everything you see onYouTube)
Yule log history:
was originally a Nordic tradition.
Yule is the name of the old Winter Solstice festivals in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe, such as Germany. ... In some eastern European countries, the
log was cut down on Christmas Eve morning and lit that evening. In Cornwall (in the UK), the
log is called 'The Mock'.
History of Christmas trees
"The
History of
Christmas Trees. The evergreen fir
tree has traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pagans used branches of it to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, as it made them think of the spring to come."
(Btw .."pagens" means people who don't celebrate the Christian faith..non believers) so SHOOT those Christian's/pagens for decorating thier houses..lol
