Don't you know?How is Christmas or Easter pagan?
Not to mention it comes just before the start of the New Year and what better way to start it off than to celebrate the birth of JESUS just before it.Don't you know?
The day that was set for Christmas is twelve weeks off of the Maya religion's greatest day of human sacrificing and when you convert that calendar to the Japanese calendar to the Chinese calendar and then to the Gregorian calendar than that day of massive human sacrificing just happens to be on December 25!
Sarcasm over.
And right in the middle of finals week in the FOX School of Sensationalism too!Not to mention it comes just before the start of the New Year and what better way to start it off than to celebrate the birth of JESUS just before it.
It IS all pagan, & I DON'T celebrate or bother with it.
Yet God is able to turn something that is evil into something good.Hi friends
Wasn't Jesus' altar, a Cross, a Pagan symbol?Yet, He, a Jew, chose to die on a Pagan symbol...
That's saved for dessert, after we have our "easter" bunny stew. Yummy......Chocolate Bunny Egg Sunday is Pagan?
How could that ever be?

What I find most interesting though is that Peter chose to die on an inverted cross and yet in so much culture generated by Catholics the inverted cross is a symbol of evil.
Are they suggesting that the death of their first pope was not enough to sanctify this symbol?
I don't think so, but only because the last church I went to had a "No Shoes, No Service" sign on the door.No. But they're not universal to the commemoration of Pascha. They're pagan derived for sure, but that's like saying if I wear shoes made by pagans to church I'm being anti-religious.
As interesting to me is that his executioners allowed him a choice. And it seems to me that the cross didn't become a Christian symbol until Jesus died on it, so I think His death if anybody's would sanctify it, as if it realy needed that.What I find most interesting though is that Peter chose to die on an inverted cross and yet in so much culture generated by Catholics the inverted cross is a symbol of evil.

I wouldn't even entertain the notion that Peter had the power to sanctify a symbol, especialy if it had previously established currency as pagan.
How!Cool. That is what "I hear my spirit telling me".
(I'm part Indian. I'm allowed to talk that way.)
Ezekiel 37:9 Also He saying to me, "Prophesy! to the breath/07307 ruwach. Prophesy!, Son of 'Adam, and you say to the breath/07307 ruwach, 'Thus He says the Lord of me, YHWH: "From Four of Winds/07307 ruwach, come! the Breath/07307 ruwach, and breathe/blow/05301 naphach in the ones slain, the-these and they shall live." ' "
Are sandals ok?I don't think so, but only because the last church I went to had a "No Shoes, No Service" sign on the door.
Let me ask you this: Is Christianity anti-pagan?
