There aren't any Christians who can speak against pagan Easter or Pagan Christmas, we all know the church Christianized the high holy pagan days.

Is there a single person out there who can speak against Easter or Christmas?


No, there aint, ,if there is, what is his name?

What Christian is going to look down on another Christian for keeping Easter or Christmas?
United Church of God, as they keep the Sabbath, Feast Days and Dietary laws. That might be the only denomination I know of, after that its Messianic Judaism and Hebrew roots movement, that skip Christmas and Easter

Seventh-Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses do not keep Christmas and Easter, IIRC.

Quakers may not, either, not sure.

I don't keep it either, used to take my kids out of school, but one has to draw a line between family and dogma. I was like the dark cloud who didn't show up for family reunions because they were always held on Easter and Christmas.

I used to visit 7th day Sabbath churches because there wasn't any Messianic Judaism churches and that was my all time favorite church, the meals, I mean, if you are going to go to heaven, you can start with those meals, those freaking people can cook so good and you eat stuff you think is meat but aint. I guess their experience from cooking without meat made them experts, and if anyone should go to heaven, it's them, and if there aint a heaven, might as well eat good now. EVERY GATHERING with the astounding food.

Im not big on the alienation from family due to religious differences. Im not big on Easter and Xmas anymore, but ill have dinner with my family though, where I have other family members that wont even show up saying its pagan etc, which pretty much comes off as they are better than them and they see the family as doing demon worship by simply coming together to eat.



Ive visited a Messianic Congregation a few times and ill admit they can cook and its like everyone in there seemed relived they didnt have to question what was in the food compared when you get a meal at Sunday churches lol, you gotta ask on half the menu to see if it has pork or shrimp or other food that some dont eat.

Hannibal was talking about the food at the SDA churches. Most members are vegetarian.
