Non-Beneficial Practices

[Reba1]

This world has drag queens story telling to preschoolers . This practice IMO shows the importance of indoctrinating the very young children, satan wants our babies., . We Christians need to be very mindful of what we expose our kids to. If you would not allow a gay teacher (pick any proud sinner) to teach your babies why allow the teaching via the TV? When the TV show "Married with Children came out, i laughed and laughed , then it hit me there should not be ANYthing funny about a tramp for a daughter, jerk for a son, a worthless woman or a weak man. Think back to any of the Flintstone shows we watched Fred's lies to Wilma was most of the show by watching we showed acceptance .

The story of Samson lets us know what happens when we try to appease sin . When a toddler pick s up something they shouldn't , lets say a knife, we take the knife and replace it something safe, not sorta safe but safe.

I want to comment on part of your post. "married and divorced 2-4 times is normal. And promoted and approved by churches and encouraged by church leaders......." I think that's more supposition on your part than fact. Sure there's lot of divorced and remarriage. But it's not promoted and approved by churches / leadership.

We Do need to uphold Biblical ethics / morality for sure. We Also need to be showing compassion -- people are people -- not statistics. We Do need to be teaching Christian living.

Some years ago there was a mother and daughter who started coming to the church we were at. Her daughter ended up as a young single-mom. Her mother assumed that a big Baptist church with lots of young people would welcome her daughter -- a baby shower and acceptance. When she discovered Differently. He was teaching / sharing Biblical morality. The young adults were Not doing the accepting -- they were being friendly to a new young lady -- tended to keep their distance. They didn't want other young ladies to get the idea that it was Okay to get pregnant by their boyfriend. They left after a short time. It was kind of sad. They wanted acceptance -- Not accountability.

I posted a "Like" to that Reba, but only because I appreciated the heads up. I find indoctrinating little children in homosexuality nauseating and disturbing, and the only thing that runs through my mind sometimes when I see that sort of thing is the kind of judgment these people are going to face when all is said and done. As Jesus said, "Whoever causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were tied around his neck and he were cast into the sea." (Luke 17:2).

The click into article that you've shared said that That is extremely unusual to happen. The RCC -- apparently his 2nd marriage -- and no one in that realm has been married while in 'office' in 200 yrs. or so.

So -- getting back to reality -- not the extreme situations that That's one Of.

People tend to forget, God was here well before any pagen existed, He did create the earth after all. So when we look at what is laid on top of " pagan days" is actually set back to Jesus where it should be in the first place.

The earth was not made for the pagans. The earth was made for Jesus in its beginning

Where do you find that the earth was made for Jesus in its beginnings?

Greetings, Bill, and blessings in Christ!

I haven't been able to read through this entire thread, so I'm not fully up on what all has been said. But let me share here what I posted on another forum, as it might shed more light on what I feel about observing pagan practices in light of scripture:

I think you are missing my point .

Every day of the week month year , are God's . God created them. I dont see the pagans creating days of the week. Only claiming them, as if they own them.

The devil is a thief and a lier

This includes claiming days of the week.

So when i Celebrate Easter or Christmas, i am reclaiming what was God's to begin with.

3rd. Marriage not second. In which this type of practice is getting to be "Normal". "Next" inline in the "Polls", "Poylgamy". Cast your Votes! Might as well, we are on a roll.

The Devil becomes a thief when we trade sinful customs for holy ones, yes? For instance, God created sex. Yet if we trade fornication for holy matrimony, we've made him a thief in our own lives. You see, the Gnostics and Satanists believe they are reclaiming what was "God's" to begin with by teaching that there need be no moral standards, but all they really do is twist and pervert what God created, not reclaim it.

Don't worry, Bill. It's not that big a thing. This issue is something that most Christians have to decide for themselves. Aside from the overall effect on the church in a negative direction back in the days of Tertullian, which we have unfortunately inherited to this day, individually it's a matter that now comes down to what a man does by faith He does unto God. As the OP stated, it an issue where "all things are permitted but not all things truly benefit. "

The devil is the originator of lying. The great deceiver -- he doesn't have to become a thief -- his lying does that. We cause our own problems by listening to satan's lies. The Gnostics and Satanists Know they are against God's Word -- that's their point. Especially the satanists -- they worship satan / demon world.

Yes, second marriages Are common. you were going into 3rd and 4 th marriages -- which -- at least in This country -- is Not the norm. Polygamy is Not the 'norm'. If there's a 'norm' developing / has been here for a while -- is that of living together without marriage. And then the homosexual 'scene' -- society is trying to get That to be an acceptable 'scene'.

'We' need to take a strong, firm stand For Biblical morality.

In the 4-plex I presently live in -- the two young couples living upstairs are live-in arrangements. They are both in their mid-30's and already have messed up 'priors'. It's sad -- there are kids involved. The one couple is really trying to make a good relationship and have a really cute little girl born with some medical issues, but they are good parents.

And in all this sin we Christians teach our kids Jesus was born on December 25. When we have zero Scripture for such a date.

Yes. I was merely responding to Bill's logic.

In our church we teach we don't know the day Jesus was born, but we celebrate it on this day. Should we not celebrate Jesus's birth?

Luke 1:26; Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,

If Mary got pregnant in the month (what we would call July) she likely had the baby in March/April.

The early church did not celebrate Christ's birth, or any births for that matter. Reason: likely because the Jews were ordered to celebrate the birthdays of their oppressor: pharaoh and pharaoh's children. Accordingly, celebrating birthdays was not sometging Jews took pleasure in, nor did the apostles pass on a tradition in which they took no pleasure. They celebrated Christ's life, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection. Birthdays? No.

Why was Dec 25th picked as the date ?

I believe if God had wanted us to know the date Christ was born it would be CLEARLY in Scripture.
