That's not the reason Paul is so emphatically against religious holidays. Rather, it is because the Body of Christ is seated with their Head above all the angelic realm. And to submit to religious ritual, ceremony, symbolism and holidays is to submit to that angelic realm. It is an open denial of the blessings Christ died to secure for His Body.
I am only conveying what is taught in scripture. One could say the same thing about abortion protestors. The open denial of the Headship of Christ is far far worse than abortion.
For the record, I should point out that I've retracted that assertion. I was wrong. Celebrating religious holydays (i.e. angel worship) is not worse than abortion, but it is nonetheless a denial of Christ as Head. For the detailed discussion and my retraction, see the following thread:Just a reminder to all of you who might be considering celebrating Christmas - according to TOL's resident genius Hilston, celebrating Christmas is worse than abortion. :kookoo:
Doncha wish the silly little fella would come back so we can enjoy his insanity? :darwinsm:
Will you leave me a Hilston in my stocking?
Will you be celebrating Christmas this year?
Yes, but only because my family is. It is a fun time of year but you have to ask......how is it possible that people were celebrating Christmas 1000 years before Jesus was even born.... :kookoo:
I appreciate that very much Jim. But where's the retraction? :idunno:
Did I miss that actual retraction?Let me say, having read through your posts quickly, that I may have overstated the case and perhaps should start composing my retraction.
Still waiting for that messiah, eh?
