don't think it became a slugfest. we are all airing opinions and of course different people will have differing opinions. like i said in one of my earlier posts, we have aired our views, so lets just chew on all that has been said and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us. -

how can: celebrating Jesus' birth, remembering his 40 days in the desert, rejoicing in his victorious resurection, be satanic and paganistic? it's beyond me.
and probably the rest too.
granted, even if the word Easter is pagan, surely it shows that God makes good things out of evil? -
Very good point!Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:i still don't get it..

It originated as the Winter Solstice before the arrival of Christianity to Europe. Later on, many traditions like the Yule log stayed on.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:brey:
i am highly disturbed that you can label Christmas as a pagan festival.
Same goes for Easter. It was the Spring Equinox in the old days. The chocolate eggs of today had a different meaning back then. -
yeah

Unless God gives you revelation, you will never fully understand His word.

which gives rise to an undeniable truth: the one that implies that not many Christians actually have revelations from God, seeing that there are so many disagreement between brethrens.... either that or that the revelations are always clouded by personal biasness and emotions.Originally posted by breytonhartge:it may be the most overused cliche, but the truth behind it is undeniable.

isn't it human nature to interpret things based on individual experience, hence giving rise to different people having different view of the same thing?Originally posted by Chin Eng:which gives rise to an undeniable truth: the one that implies that not many Christians actually have revelations from God, seeing that there are so many disagreement between brethrens.... either that or that the revelations are always clouded by personal biasness and emotions. (actually a lot of people don't even bother find out, they just take others' opinion and form their own by adding on their own experiences)
cheers, God bless. -

my point was that the phrase "ask God to reveal it to you." (look higher up in this page) is an overused cliche.... because in reality, does that happen very often, be it the asking or the revealing? Isn't this the very same reason why churches split, and factions are formed, because someone claimed to have some divine revelation?
