I would say Santa Claus leads people closer to the truth of the bible.

cant say i have read that in the bible

very true ,that is why we should be ready and actively on the side of Gods kingdom , and working along with Jehovah and his son , and christs brothers , then we can be judged and put on his right side as a sheep

Happy Christmas All !

flow....

to coincide with the Roman festival celebrating the birth of the sun god,


so it seems they were not after making true christians because they were still holding on to their pagan beliefs.


they were still pagans then , LOL



they were more after numbers than people into true worship .

Mee...True Christians ? True worship?
Please define these terms in your own words not using biblical quotations. Then maybe I'll understand what you're getting at. Thanks.

would a true follower of christ be into pagan beliefs ,or would they have cast them away from themselves


mixing true with false has never been good in the eyes of the most high .


Simply put, to be spiritually clean means never to cross the line that God has drawn between true worship and false, for God views any type of false worship as unclean.

However, this is often the most neglected aspect of cleanness.

and as 1 CORINTHIANS 10;21 says,


You cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; you cannot be partaking of “the table of Jehovah” and the table of demons


mixing true and false is a no no , , holding on to false is not becoming a christian ,


even though they thought it was,



and it was the religious leaders who are to blame for this .

Mee can you consider the possibility just for a second that if there is this God as petty as you paint him, then your arrogance in supposing you have the greatest insight into what is his will, will make him very very miffed at you and probably assure you an eternal tub of burning sulpherous agony!!

Tao

why is it arrogance to believe in the bibles promises? matthew 5;5


regarding the tub of burning stuff, you must be listening to false religious leaders , the God of the bible is not like that, but many are led along to believe alsorts of evil things . i am glad to say that the God i worship is a God of LOVE.


And his name is JEHOVAH .PSALM 83;18.



his love transcends anything that we can feel or express. (Eph 2:4-7; Isa 55:8; Ro 11:33) His greatest manifestation of love, the most loving thing that a parent can do, he did for mankind. That was the giving of the life of his own faithful, only-begotten Son. (Joh 3:16)
