If a Christian decides

So without any discussing anything with me you have determined that what I need is more doctrine. Just WHICH doctrine I should believe in MORE you never say. You seem to automatically think Christians who are determined to follow Christ are somehow deficient in their understanding. Hence you...

The Princes of this world refers not to the Roman Soldiers or even the Governor over Judeas. World rulers refers to spiritual/demonic forces who were manipulating and driving the worldly rulers to kill Jesus. …11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s...

God has always warned believers to remain steadfast in their faith, leaning on God for our strength. Peter who understood very will the cost of not being prepared, to the point that, he relying on his own strength he actually denied the Lord. We have to be prepared. He did not promise that we...

The Orthodox still call the season Pascha.

Of course, everyone wants to think their ancestors live on and they invent rituals to reinforce this. Those practices are part of paganism not Christianity. Are you proposing that we should adopt these practices and rites to reach out to unbelievers. Personally I think what the Catholics did in...

The real question is not whether we individually happen to "dodge the bullet" The question is whether or not what we are doing honors God. I notice you did not take exception even when I posed the example of a child wearing the mask of a Satan who is deemed as real by Jesus and the Apostles...

Many children and adults do not know what Halloween is about either. Does that make it right for them or anyone to dress up as spirits and demons? After everyone understands that they are just playing dress-up and having fun

We do not burn incense to the Days of the Week, though and as for Planet Earth MANY people who belong to New Age Religion do pay homage to "Mother Gaia." I am not saying merely using those words is idolatry but I think we should be aware of the times we live in. When I was in the Baptist Church...

Yes the "gods" names and festivals were co-opted and used to attract the local people who had been pagan. Whether that was good P.R. or not is of no interest to me when I consider what the origin of their festivals and deities were. God already gave us festivals rooted in Biblical history and in...

Europeans did not start out as Christians. Like everyone else (except for perhaps, the Jews) they were PAGANS who had to be converted. Thus their oldest religion as with all humanity is the worship of idols. This leaving the worship of the Creator to worship creation is part of the Fall, The...

I don't buy it. He is just trying to accommodate traditions with the Bible to relieve modern Pastors from the burden of having to go against them

The children do not know the difference. That is because they are ignorant. Rather than provide fun activities in which they can re-enact pagan traditions concerning sex gods why should we not participate in those that point to Christ? God instructed the Jews to institute festivals in which they...

Deciding that "once saved always saved" is true FIRST and then "digging down into the VERSES?" Making up your mind about what you want a passage to mean and THEN fitting the individual verses in is is not rightly dividing the word It is EISEGESIS
