Thank you Steve. While you confess error you are also giving us lessons in the beauty and power of humility--far more precious gifts than being technically correct. I 've raised your wife and unborn child to the throne of God and claimed that beautiful Scripture in Proverbs for their healing: Bless the Lord of my soul and forget not all his benefits; he forgiveth all our iniquities and healeth all our diseases. If this was true under the old covenant, how much more so under the new covenant in Jesus's Blood. Heavenly Father, we pray for healing of the bleeding of Steve's wife and safety for the child. We ask you to cover them with the power of the Blood of Jesus. We ask you for a normal child and health for both mother and child. You told us Lord in mark 11 that whatsoever we pray for, if we believe that we receive it we will receive it . Increase our faith and Help our unbelief Father. Thank you Father in Jesus's name. Amen. Emile

When you say that Easter and Christmas are not derived from pagan holidays, what exactly do you mean, if you are saying that your previous post was misunderstood? For example, from a description of the stars in the sky over Jerusalem, the best estimate is that Jesus was born in July. However, his birthday was attached to the pagan Winter Solstice celebrations in order to popularize Christianity with the pagans, and get more converts. Similarly, early Celtic crosses in the British Isles still have circles in the centers, which are thought to represent worship of the sun god.
