IS YOUR RELIGION NORMAL?
Just stop for a moment, you dress the kids up like demons for
Halloween. You are supposed to be a Christian, but you put the
witch outfits on, and delight in the cute little demons. Who taught
you to do that? The Bible? No. Did God teach you to do that?
No. You learned it from people who learned it from their parents,
who learned it from their parents. Keep going back, and back, and you'll
find that it came from Satan himself, "best" friend of mankind, since the
Garden of Eden episode. So no, you are not doing something normal.
Tradition is the mortal enemy of truth. Traditions that are right are ok, but
this tradition comes from Satanic paganism, and it is not ok for someone who
is a true Christian.
Nevertheless, you'll most likely say, "It's ok, because that is how we alwaysdid it." Most will choose tradition over truth, but since when is there any real or
credible excuse for practicing false Satanic religion?
Most likely, you will still go on with it, although it will tug at your
conscience, you don't want to upset the family, I suppose that will be the excuse,
but, what if you are upsetting God? Or does that matter.....maybe this "normal"
religion, is an aberration, that came from the very mind of Satan, and was then
repeated and taught by one person to the other over a long period of time.
If what God thinks does matter to you, then just say, I am not going to keep any
pagan holidays anymore. It kind of seems like a hard thing, but it builds spiritual
muscle to do the right thing, and it gets easier and easier. And people you know
may or may not get over it, but that is not the point. The Church of God are the
Ecclesia, the "called out ones." We don't do things like the "normal" world does,
God is calling us out of Satan's deception. We are on God's team now, not Satan's.
Christ said that whoever loves his own family more than Him is not worthy of Him.
It all boils down to whether you truly love and obey God, or are just using platitudes.
God may be calling you out of the false religion of this world, and into a
relationship with Him, the true God, and that relationship is called the New Covenant.
He will put His spirit in you, and will live in you, and you will want to keep His system of
religion. You will have a New Covenant with God, when His law is written in your
heart. How will you know when the Spirit of God lives inside of you? You'll want to
obey God, and be compliant to God's system.
It would be repellent for a real Christian to knowingly participate in Satan's system.
Some claim to know about paganism, yet they practice it. They are called Gnostics,
they think it's ok to blend paganism and Christianity, but they are only fooling themselves,
God does not blend with Satan.
