God called: He said 'dem pagans has had 'dem holidays long enough, time for us to take 'em and turn 'em into a celebration of Him! (sounds good to me.......... :) )

Democratic pagans - they used to be called liberals which is more politically correct.
 
I do understand this, but God is a jealous God... notice in Deut 12:31 they are gods with little g.



1.) Calm the heck down!!
2.) Don't spew the F word at myself OR these other wonderful people. It's rude and disrespectful.

Yes, God is a jealous God.. BUT, all these other gods are and were not real. They were idols, not gods. There is only one God..
 
Does anyone actually believe that the God who created the entire universe is threatened by a tree or bunny? God is a whole lot bigger than that.

I would suggest that all celebrations which might cause us even the hint of joy be banished. After all we wouldn't want the world to know that we have a joy that they couldn't possibly understand. And if they ask us how we can manage to be so peaceful in an un-peaceful world we can just keep it to ourselves.

Does anybody actually believe that God cares how we worship Him? Why we can do anything we like and call it go9od and poor ole God is just so happy to get someone to notice Him that He laps it up.

You really think the God of the universe gives two hoots what we think? He tells us what to do, our choice is not to decide what to do, it is to decide whether to do it or not.

Deciding what is right or wrong is not our prerogative...

Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
 
Then please show me again a verse that says we are not to follow the law...

First of all, Gentiles were NEVER under the Law. That was a Jewish exclusive. Second, the Law has been fulfilled and all Christians both Jew and Gentile alike are under a new covenant. Perhaps we could spend a little time in the book of Hebrews examining some of the things.
 
SHOW ME WHERE I AM TRYING TO GET TO GOD WITHOUT CHRIST!!!! SHOW ME YOU LIAR!!!! SHOW ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol.. Your the one JUDGING people for no reason.

only a legalist does this, You do not have to teach a legalist gospel to be a legalist, a child of God can turn legalistic.

again, why else would you IGNORE everything that has been shown you. and IGNORE everything God has done on these days.

go talk to someone who is saved and will spend eternity because of christmas or easter. I bet they would not like your tonal attitude either.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Yes, it is true that there is no God but God, but what did God say about all these other gods that are not real?

Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Does it matter?

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Apparently it does.
 
I AM ****ING NOT TRYING TO GET ****ING BROWNIE POINTS YOU STUPID MORON! I AM ****ING ASKING A DAMN QUESTION ABOUT DEUT12 AND NO ONE HAS SHOWED ME THAT THE DAMN VERSE IS VOID!

Sorry for saying these things but I am tired that because you cannot show a verse that contradicts DEUT12 you assume I do not rely in Christ alone.

We know you believe in Acts 17:25 Tony, relax. :)

Show me where I do not rely on Christ alone... You said
it is if your trying to be holy and please God and get shown all your work is for nought. Just like Jesus did to the pharisees.

NOW PROVE YOUR CLAIM YOU LIAR!
 
Matthew 5:17King James Version (KJV)
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

he fulfilled it with his birth and his death and resurrection, and everything in between.

now we have you hear judging people whi wish to celebrate Jesus fulfilling the law.

How ironic
 
Yes he did fulfill it. I did not say he destroyed it. Do you know how he accomplished this?
Blood covenant requires blood, if you break it...

When we broke it He offered himself as a replacement, and now we are under His blood which is pure.
 
God called: He said 'dem pagans has had 'dem holidays long enough, time for us to take 'em and turn 'em into a celebration of Him! (sounds good to me.......... :) )

I read the memo differently...

Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Then He said...

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

And this character trait was ascribed to Him...

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

So, when Jesus Christ (He was the One who gave that Law to Moses) said don't worship me the way these other nations worshipped their gods, what changed His mind?
