Either I did a bad job communicating or you took me out of context. I'll assume it was my mistake, as I got another negative response for this post! I'll have to go back and read my post. I'm sorry, my mind is shot nowadays.
"The fact remains Christmas and Easter were derived from other Pagan holidays. This you admit."
Sorry. If I sounded like I admitted that, I made a mistake in communication. Raymond, and everyone, Easter and Christmas are not derived from Pagan holidays. The root of these holidays are solid as a rock.
What I was trying to say, which I did a terrible job at, is that the way these holidays are celebrated today, by the mainstream (not true Christians) is from pagan roots. I mean the Easter Bunny and Eggs (Celebration of Ishtar) on Easter and Christmas being on Decemeber 25th (Winter Soltice). But the holidays, the truest and holiest holiday's of them all, no doubt about it.
The origins of the way the mainstream (non true Christian) celebrates them today are from pagan descent. I'm talking about the Easter Bunny and eggs and the date of Decmeber 25. Not the holidays themselves. Again, these original holiday celebrations are the holiest of holiest and should be celebrated this way.. Steve
PS- Sorry everyone!
