| |
| | If nothing else notice the word nations
|
| Many take paganism as an ugly word, but

| |
| | What was this sanctuary? Why it was God's

| |
| | His Temple? Well a further read says they

| not know; we know what we worship, for

|
| (the nations) tries to wag the dog when

| | But now for the biggie because there is a
|
| It is impossible to ignore that we have
| |
| | scripture that we need to look long and
|
| ties to teachings of the nations or
| |
| | hard at which says, "Do you not know
|
| pagans that we have justified just as the
| |
| | that you are the temple of God and that
|
| Bible says, "everyone did what was right
| |
| | the Spirit of God dwells in you? If
|
| in his own eyes." Yet again the Bible
| |
| | anyone defiles the temple of God, God
|
| says, "what communion has light with
| |
| | will destroy him. For the temple of God
|
| darkness?" But we say we cleaned it all
| |
| | is holy, which temple you are." Defiling
|
| up. Why we Christianized it Lord! Yet
| |
| | our human temple here is no different
|
| again the Bible says, "Who can bring a
| |
| | than all we just read about defiling the
|
| clean thing out of an unclean? No one!"
| |
| | physical one. Simply intermix paganism,
|
| But some may ask isn't it all ok. Can't
| |
| | mix in the bad with the good and you are
|
| we just have some fun? Why half the
| |
| | defiled. As a matter of fact if you mix
|
| stuff I do isn't really Christian
| |
| | in any ways of any kind of disobedience
|
| related, I just do it for fun and I'm
| |
| | you are on your way to defilement and
|
| not thinking of Christ. I've seen these
| |
| | utter destruction.
|
| attitudes. They are attitudes of someone
| |
| | Disobedience leads to destruction, but
|
| who thinks they have some
| |
| | obedience and a humble spirit leads one
|
| distinguishable alter ego. That somehow
| |
| | to salvation. It is your disobedience
|
| we can separate ourselves from ourselves
| |
| | that caused Christ to have to die for our
|
| like some type of Jekyl and Hyde. But do
| |
| | sins (our disobedience) so why do we
|
| you think you can really hide half of
| |
| | think it is ok to continue to disobey?
|
| yourself from before the Lord? The Bible
| |
| | Now that you have learned nothing from
|
| says, "For if we live, we live to the
| |
| | paganism, for what did you learn from
|
| Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord"
| |
| | the Yule log or dressing your child up
|
| and "He who observes the day, observes it
| |
| | as an Easter egg? Why not learn from God
|
| to the Lord" Therefore all we do is in
| |
| | about His holidays? Most people do not
|
| plain sight of God.
| |
| | even know that God also has Holidays
|
| So how dangerous is all this? Well this
