TRUTH and UNDERSTANDING – An electronic magazine of realknowledge
Millions, perhaps billions of people will when again runfull throttle into the upcoming fall and winter season holidayseasons of Halloween and Christmas. Many totally acknowledgethat the custom-mades of these events are deeply rooted inpaganism.
Many take paganism as an unsightly word, but it just meansteachings of the countries that did unknown the Jewish or
Hebrew God of the Bible. An essential indicate alwaysremember is that the Hebrews or Israelites and not thenations (non Hebrews) were the ones who brought us theknowledge of God. Even in the New Testament we understand that
{Jesus and the Apostles were Israelites. This is whyscripture states, “You worship what you do unknown; we knowwhat we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.” {So it alwayscomes as a surprise to me that the tail (the countries) triesto wag the pet dog when it concerns spiritual understanding.|It alwayscomes as a surprise to me that the tail (the countries) triesto wag the pet dog when it comes to spiritual understanding.} Yetthis is exactly what is typically allowed in the so-called Christianholidays.|It alwayscomes as a surprise to me that the tail (the countries) triesto wag the pet dog when it comes to spiritual understanding.

The Catholic encyclopedia seems to have a hard time somewherebetween acknowledging that contemporary Christianity hasincorporated pagan teachings and no it is just acoincidence. A coincidence? When you take a look at thepreponderance of coincidences like a day for all the dead
Saints that begins the heels of an ancient Celtic firefestival called Samhain (notice that this is a countries non

Bacchanalian festivitiesalso had actually parties celebrated with drinking and promiscuityorgies and riotousness. The Saturnalia celebrations alsoincluded exchanging presents, plant, lights etc. It isimpossible to overlook that we have ties to teachings of thenations or pagans that we have actually justified just as the Biblesays, “everyone did exactly what was right in his own eyes.” Yetagain the Bible states, “exactly what communion has light withdarkness?” {However we state we cleaned all of it up.|We state we cleaned it all up.} Why we|Research study the origins of the Yule log, tree, mistletoe, wreaths, plant, birthdays, presents, caroling (yes evenseemingly innocent Christmas carols are from ancient circledances dealing with fertility rites of the middle ages Celticcountries of Europe) and lights.

{Israel devotes here, to make Me go far away from Mysanctuary?” What was this sanctuary? Why it was God’s templeback in the Old Testament. What were they doing to drive Godfar from His Temple? Well a further read states they weredoing things like generating, “every sort of creepingthing, abominable monsters, and all the idols”, the Bible saysthe, “women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.” (It isknown that there were ancient pagan faiths that practicedweeping. Tammuz was a farming god who got weak assummer subsided on and all of us understand how we get unfortunate as summernears its end, so they wept) and the Bible reads,|Why it was God’s templeback in the Old Testament.

The point of all this is that all of it occurred in God’ stemple. They had actually stained, soiled, desecrated and defiled the.
Temple of God by generating the methods and teachings of thenations, the pagans, those who did not have a knowledge ofproper worship of the true God. After all, why do you thinkthey were called pagans? Because they were dumb, get it?
And why is it that their understanding is so excellent now that itis brought into Christianity? Because we are dumb I guess.
Belittling God’s Temple is not relegated just to the Old.
