Why Is The "Christmas Spirit" So Different?

I said, "If I speak the word "Monday" on the second day of the week, and do not intend to be honouring any moon god on that day, but just entitling that twenty four hour period by the common title, that is no different than reaching down and putting a gift beneath a christmas tree and not intended any sacrifice to any tree idol. God sees the intents of the heart and knows if it is false worship or not." Let me clarify that. Hollering the name of the MOON on the second day of the week was honouring the moon god in ancient times on MONDAY. Does that mean hollering the word "MONDAY" on Monday means we are worshiping the moon god simply because we are doing something SIMILAR to what they did in false worship? No. By the same token it is not bowing in worship of an idol just because we lean down and put a gift beneath a decorated tree. What's the difference?

Anyway, y'all can think what you want.

Days of the weak is such a weak defense, we can't help the name of the days of the week, but we don't have to partake of pagan customs.

Same principle all around. So you are saying that what we cannot help, we do not have to deal with, despite identical pagan origins? THAT is inconsistent, I think.
