We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

Let me ask this. Do you think a little paganism in the name of God is OK? Is mixing God with Belial is acceptable to Him? The answer is no, and the fact remains that so-called Christians will stand before a righteous God on judgment with this sin against them. He said for us to have no part dark, and I believe we should strive to be so.

Do you love God? Are you willing to crucify your flesh to the point that what God hates you hate, and what he loves you love? Or, is your love for God accepted only when it is convenient and feels good? I refuse to go back and walk the paths of Hell again. I refuse to compromise and say God is worthy of profane fire and pagan rituals. I love Him too much to be profaned, to be cast out, to be reprobated. I thank God that He is holy, and I want Him to say well done to me. If this means I give up all for Him, then so be it.

Christ-mas is pagan. This has been proven. even the Puritans, those who first came to America, trinitarians, outlawed this pagan celebration. Shall these, though lost, want to be holier than we who have the truth? Lord forbid!

This will be my last post on this subject. I have given all God has placed on my heart. If you accept this, good. If not, then I will stand guiltless before God, because I have warned His people through His Word to come out and be holy.

I can respect that, its a little frightening , but I can respect it.

Personally I don't think your paying attention , your taking this and twisting it into a sin that is non-existant. Nothing of the post here supports your first paragraph.

Besides, Nothing about the tree is intended to give glory to God. I have a BIG living room with lots of furniture. Without the lighted tree Santa would not be able to see where to leave my presents, not to mention he would kill himself over the furniture trying to get there.
