One of the first things that I ask is this...what are we (as Christians) TOLD and COMMANDED to observe? When that question is answered, then the further need for discussion is topped right there. But then I know the question comes up..."Well, can I celebrate (this) or (that) with being in danger of sinning?" That is where we must be sure of our conduct in this world because the world is watching us very carefully. |
Brother White, this is one of the things I am getting at. When you drive by a brethren's house, and it is decorated in exactly the same manner as the denominational people ,and the non believers, what is the passerby thinking about our saying we do not celebrate such days religiously?
Also, isn't telling your children there is a Santa Claus lying to them ? How is such a lie justified ?
