So if you have been following thus far on my series on Christmas you will have an understaning of the many tradtions and customs that have pagan origins.
So now with that knowledge we can go to a concordance and look under heathen, and find many places where God was not pleased with the ways of the heathen. And God certainly did not want his people picking up those ways.
Here is just a few scriptuers on that but i would urge you to look up your own as welll.
2 chronicles 36:14
Jer. 10:2
Ezekiel 36:24
In Jer. 10: 3-4 , we read of a heathen practice of cuting down a tree and decorating it. It sounds so much like the christmas tree and it makes me wonder if thats where the custom of the christmas tree came from.
So if God was not pleased with his people taking on heathen pratices and cutoms back then , don't you think He still feels the same today.
Aslo if the origin of birthdays them selves were pagan then how could cleabrting Jesus's birthday which christmas is all about , possibly be glorifying to God. We can not take a pagan thing and make it pure to God.
Well i will write more soon. I just want to keep these post short and easy to read.
