She can teach children and other women but not men.

David being called mad had nothing paganism nor did his dance. Dance is a form of worship in itself, thus his dance was celebration unto the people. Show me a reference to David saying anything about pagan in what he did or he even thought that. Dancing was a natural form of worship in Israel. Again you reference to his alleged thought process is nowhere in scripture and speculation. Also the ark is from God and not pagan, while Christmas is. Seriously retool the argument and get back to me. sheesh

It truly is sad some folks just don't have a true understanding of the Word.

It is no surprise that the ones that don't believe in women preachers don't believe in celebrating Christ birth either. Go figure. First I noticed the similiarities.

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

I have no problem with folks wanting to Celebrate Christ birth.

If folks don't want to do that, that is their option. I feel they are missing out on a lot of joy, but to each his own.

But this confirms again how folks will use scripture to believe anything they want to. We all do it. But to me the answer is you have to have a LOVE for the TRUTH or you will be deceived.

Wow so taking something pagan and throwing the Christ bow on it makes it Christian.... I like how you use scripture to back up using pagan holidays and God saying that is okay to use it. LOL!

Esther were are we told to celebrate xmas? Listen it's a Christ Mass, that means it is a Mass for Christ, which is either Easten Orthodox or Roman Catholic, both of those groups don't believe in women preachers. They are those groups who taught you to do what you do every Dec 25th.

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

Rather, the pagan festival of the “Birth of the Unconquered Son” instituted by the Roman Emperor Aurelian on 25 December 274, was almost certainly an attempt to create a pagan alternative to a date that was already of some significance to Roman Christians. Thus the “pagan origins of Christmas” is a myth without historical substance.

The article gives no primary source for this above conjecture. Why?
The above is to lead us to believe something that the writer never presents proof for, so why make the statement?

Look up the details behind the dispute of the date of Christ's death and the ancient Jewish belief in "integral age."

Yes, since you're condemning your brethren, the least you could do is a little homework.

46 BC, Roman "Julian Calendar" was created, December 24th was the shortest day of the year.

December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase. Thus, this shows the rebirth or Annual Birthday of the Invincible sun.

The writer of the article doesn't take this information into account for his argument, nor does he supply us with the information of why he chose his statement (in previous post "bolded").
