He didn't come to Earth so we would start working out. Many people work out. Is working out bad because that wasn't why Christ came to Earth?
1 Timothy 3:7-8
3:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and
exercise thyself [rather] unto Godliness.
3:8 For
bodily exercise profiteth little: but Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the Life that now is, and of that which is to come.
From the quoted article on the pagan yuletide:
A true Christian would be one who follows Christ's Way, does what He did, loves what He loved and hates what he hates - he would not imagine or theorize on what Christ would like or not like.
Yes, I was about to say. So why are you theorizing?
Why do you routinely accuse others of doing what
YOU are actually doing?
Did you not say this:-
@Artful Revealer
If you think Christ would hate Christmas, you know nothing of Christ and nothing of Christmas.
When Christ Himself, in His Revelation to John, said this:-
Revelation 2:6
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes (followers of Santa [Ni]-Claus - Yuletide, Easter [Ishtar - a goddess of fertility - eggs a symbol of fertility] etc.), WHICH I ALSO HATE.
Revelation 2:15
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the followers of St. [Ni]-Claus (Yuletide), WHICH THING I HATE.
Christ very clearly stated He
HATES Christmas. So why are
YOU theorizing the exact opposite?
Why do you so frequently imagine in your mind that you are right and that Christ is wrong (Gen. 6:5, Isa. 5:20-21)?
The word "Satan" means "the Opposer" and God's Adversary, so anyone who takes the opposite position to Christ's, as you so often do, is satanic and
anti-Christ.
The reason Christ hates Christ-mass is explained in the article and should be self-evident to anyone being
honest with themselves.
Christ-mass/X-mass is the most materialistic event on the calendar. Advertising and peer pressure has people spending money they don't have on things they don't need, to impress people they really don't know, because they spend the rest of the years avoiding them. Some estimates put retail sales for the silly season at 40-60% of the annual sales for many companies, so they depend heavily on X-mass sales to keep their businesses afloat.
All of these plastic throw-away toys and other senseless junk that's purchased and packaged with even more plastic and cardboard
IS destroying the environment. That's what materialism does; it gets people to theorize that we are somehow able to sustain infinite economic growth using planetary resources that are quite obviously
FINITE in nature, instead of conserving
everything (i.e. wasting nothing) as Christ showed us by His Example when He sent His Disciples out to gather the crumbs that were left after the feeding of four and five thousand.
THAT is what X-mass is all about and the
real reason for the silly season: to make a mockery of Christ's Mission to offer us salvation from this madness and
TO DESTROY EVERYTHING. Anyone foolish enough to believe Santa/Satan and continue to fight with him against Christ, so they can continue enjoying these pagan rites and rituals, is going to
BURN.
Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the Time of the "Dead" (
Matt. 8:22), that they should be Judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy Servants the Prophets, and to the holy people, and them that fear Thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy the Earth.
How sick is it that people can be so easily conned into doing something they
mistakenly think is "for the children" when in
TRUTH these evil practices are destroying the planet and the futures of those very same children (spoiling them), along with training the children to be liars by the liars who continue to promote and defend such patently evil practices.
The
LIE of the supposed birthday of Jesus was simply added to indoctrinate and incorporate Christians into these
overtly pagan/heathen Yuletide/Saturnalia traditions and
promote materialism. X-mass/Yuletide/Saturnalia and the birth of Jesus are, by their very nature,
mutually exclusive.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and materialism.
Why not this Christ-mass/X-mass
show Christ your love, respect and appreciation for all He's done by shunning this
overtly pagan, satanic holiday that celebrates Satan/Santa? Wouldn't that be the best use of everyone's time, to begin putting an end to all of this insanity?
