You as usual get stuck on a question you can't prove so you start tossing out verses that have nothing to do with it. No where does it show what you say . And by the way you said the sons of God you quoted from the new testament how does it apply to the old testament? Rex I see on your heading your reply is to wolf dog. Is that who you are replying to?

Rex, I’m not quite sure what your question is that you’re looking for answers on. The Christmas/Easter thing? Or sons of God?

Some of y'all are way too deep for me in here, but not understanding the question about Easter. We know Jesus was crucified on a Friday during Passover and resurrected 2 days later on Sunday. It would be very odd if the disciples did not commemorate his resurrection in some way in the years after that.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Yote Do you suppose the disciples may have celebrated the resurrection of Jesus on this day?

I thought that it was pretty common knowledge that the church used already celebrated pagan holidays and overlayed Christ centered holidays into those. As such, you get pagan themes mixed in. I could be mistaken, but I believe decorating a Christmas tree with the ball ornaments was a pagan tradition with the balls symbolizing eggs for fertility. Just like the Easter bunny is a symbol of fertility used in the pagan cultures.
I believe there are several modern church traditions that came about to observe/strengthen faith disciplines amongst the members even though they weren’t strictly biblical. If I’m not mistaken, Lent falls into that category. It wasn’t a biblical teaching, but something that the church adopted to strengthen a discipline. I could be way off base on Lent being one, but there are several.
I posted the pages that shaped my understanding of the sons of God. No shell game there. You may disagree, but he’s the one that gave the explanation that made sense to me so I fall into that camp. It happens to be the belief that the sons of God are angelic beings. Man is peagon by nature. From Adom until the sinless life of Jesus all have taken of the fruit. We have all taken on a form of godliness in some way. This is why ( judgment is mine, says the lord).to defy God is to make ourselves a god. This is peagon.

Okay seeing has how so many on here like to quote the bible show me one place in the bible where either are mentioned and also where any one in the new testament celebrated them. I did a little looking and it seems as though one of the popes was about to get whacked so he made a deal with the northern tribes The to included some of their celebrations into those of the church .The only mention of decorating a tree is in old testament it says don't be like the heatheans and chop down a tree and hang exact wording not sure hang things from it. You are corect. About the truditions. They are pagan by nature. If there is a conspiracy in the Hollidays. Then you can trace them back to Constantines conforming religion. The early church of Rome comformed to the peaple and brought in there pagan truditions to promote a church state relationship. Sound familiar? SANTA SATAN -same letters - if you're playing scrabble

Funny stuff.
You know Santa is a myth, but saint nick was a real person, correct?
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

330 We deceive our children telling them obout the Santa and the Bunny Celebrating our Lord who hates lies and deception. Mabe we peaple have a scrabble nature. I guess that's one way to look at it. But the way I was raised, I associated both Santa and the Easter Bunny as symbols of Christianity. We weren't Catholic, so I never learned about the origins of St. Nicholas until much later. What I was taught was that Santa and the Easter Bunny brought gifts to children to remind them of the gifts God gave to his children.... namely the birth of Christ, and his death on the cross to save our souls. Oh how horrid! Moreover, basically every lesson Jesus taught was given as a parable... which is exactly what the Easter Bunny and Santa are.

I get your point Yote I was raised much the same way I may have been being a little facetious. Also on the parables, maybe with a mix of some fables. As a kid I wondered what a flying reindeer tasted like. Maybe there's a fable there somewhere

The conspiracy where Haman tried to have the Jews killed is a great story.
And when the Pharisees conspired to have Jesus killed is another great one.
Some good ones in Daniel, too.
Those are some of my favorites.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.
