Jesus was born. Jesus grew and aged. Jesus died.

And He never instructed any of His disciples to make a Holy Day out of the day He was born. It never ceases to amaze me how willing people are to throw out the Bible in favor of Christianity's sacred cow, Christmas.

nor did he worry about them washing their hands before they ate.

I suspect that Jesus is less concerned with minor issues than we humans are.

Paganism is not a minor issue to God. Paganism is what repeatedly got Israel in trouble with God during OT times, Ferd.

Water Baptism......Pagan Origin (John the Baptist wasn't the 1st baptizer!)

Baby Dedications.....Pagan Origins

Marriage Ceremonies..... again, Paganism

Funeral services (Blessing the Dead)

The point is... there are a great number of things we do, and promote that, if we really looked into their origins, we'd find Paganism written all over it. Those little figurines around your house... PAGAN images.

Easter....Christmas.... and just about every religious holiday you can name...
PAGAN
But God "searches and trys the reigns (intents) of the heart". The REASON we celebrate Easter and have church steeples is far removed from their origins. It would seem to me that when we "Christianize" worldly or pagan practices, we are triumphing over the pagan practices for which they were used in the past. Like taking a country music song and putting Christain lyrics to it. In other words...this whole discussion about PAGANISM is "much ado about nothing!"
For those who just joined us...
