Did you know that Christmas was banned....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is an interesting fact. However, most folk believe exactly what they want to believe--regardless of the facts.

I guess we do not have appropriate understanding of ecumenism.

Christmas and Easter are both flagrant combinations of paganism and so-called Christianity. The founder of modern Christianity practices, Constantine (The Great One) was a pagan. There is no record of him having been converted to true Christianity. A lot of folk subscribe to the Council of Nicea.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon's message on Dec. 24,1871:

"We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas: first, because we do not believe in the mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be said or sung in Latin or in English; and secondly, because we find no Scriptural warrant whatsoever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority."

Another quote from Spurgeon: "When it can be proved that the observance of Christmas, Whitsuntide, and other Popish festivals was ever instituted by a divine statute, we also will attend to them, but not till then. It is as much our duty to reject the traditions of men, as to observe the ordinances of the Lord. We ask concerning every rite and rubric, " Is this the law of the God of Jacob?" and if it be not clearly so, it is of no authority with us, who walk in Christian liberty." (from C.H. Spurgeon's Treasury of David on Psalm 81:4.

Apparently more than just the Puritans were having spiritual problems with Christmas.

True Baptists have never forced their religion on anyone.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
