The reasonings are based on "8th day" arguments which are connected to the ochtoechos (8 tones or modes) and various other catholic superstitions concerning the number 8, all which go back to ancient near east Baal religion. There is a reason Jeroboam instituted a feast in the 8th month as a substitute for the Biblical seventh month Feast of Tabernacles.

Sunday keeping was firmly established by authority of the catholic church of Rome and imposed on the other autocephalous catholic churches by the 5th century. Most Protestants kept Sunday keeping along with a bunch of other traditions like trinitarianism. Most oneness pentecostals have maintained many of those catholic traditions for whatever reason and have no compunction about holding on to them.

Murray Burr was absolutely right about Sunday keeping. But hardly anyone is interested in getting rid of their well beloved traditions of men.

So God submits to pagans hijacking days of the week and commands that we do as well? Seriously, your salvation experience seems to be shaky. Focus on the cross and christ when it comes to spiritual matters.

I'm the one being lied about. Is that how friends are treated?

You’re a pagan, practicing demon worship! You may not involve yourself with trees, light decorations, mistletoes, wine, Yule tide logs, egg nog, Santa clause, stockings etc... The fact is because you ate, and had family over, you’re going to be accused of starting your own Holy Day. Also, if you decide to become a member on AFF, please ONLY post Acts 2:38, 1 God believers songs. If you post a song from a worldly album you’ll be accused of only listening to worldly music.

***Disclaimer
Some that I’m warning you about, have no problem to stand with a gun in there hand to take another persons life, in the name of self defense. I know I mentioned wine up there, but there are some here that believe you can drink it and be perfectly fine up to the point of drunkenness. As long as it before and after the winter solstice. They dont mind magic, (as long as it not the BIBLE kind), Im being serious! Harry Potter books are perfectly fine, and you can even say some of the words to try to make a feather levitate of your practicing witch’s table. Chronicles of Narnia are the gospel, even though this man compared paganism to Christianity. That paganism from Narnia is ok, Christmas paganism is of the devil!

Have fun!

All the readers can plainly see YOU don't support your faith and practice with Scripture nor are you even logically consistent with yourself. Go listen to someone who saw a therapist and you can get demonised, but celebrating the liturgical calendar of satan worship and it's all good?

Sure thing.

So I guess that makes you incapable of having a discussion.

My contention is that there is nothing in scripture forbidding setting aside a particular day to emphasize one aspect of Christ (his birth, death, etc). By saying that, I am neither condoning nor defending going to a Catholic mass and practicing all the RCC aspects of how they celebrate Christmas. You thus remain, a liar.

As usual you aren't making sense and just resorting to snarky ad hominem attempts. If your salvation experience is solid enough to allow you to ignore Scripture and satisfy your hankerings for baal worship then you go right on ahead and just pay me no mind.

You remain a false accuser. Your contentions were refuted pages ago. You also remain gifted in the fallacy department with your continued straw men, red herrings, and non sequiturs.

Have fun storming the castle.

Maybe go back and read everything Brother Esaias posted.

We know that's what you've been saying. That's what all the Mithra's-Birthday-Keepers always say. And that is what is specifically forbidden by Scripture as I already showed.

But, since the Baal's-Birthday-Keepers don't even bother with Scripture, they blindly continue on with their lawlessness.
