Bible Note: Aniset, was it the Christian men or was it the pagans, that began to wear pants instead of robes like Jesus and all the prophets? Jesus and His disciples used to eat with their fingers, as many still do in that part of the world. Is it of Christian or pagan origin to put silverware into our mouths? I have noticed other pagan origins that many Christians observe, and with God’s blessings. Hindus immersion for purification predates John the Baptist. Pre-Moses, only the high priest could enter into the sacred rooms of pagan gods. Deut 12:3 instructs the Jews to break down altars and smash pillars in the false god’s temples. This was pre-first temple days. What did God have Moses place in the “temple”? Sacred rooms which only the high priest could enter, along with altars, pillars. The Jews were warned against making an image of anything, as the pagans did, in Exodus 20:4. Yet, in Exodus 21:8 GOD TOLD MOSES TO MAKE AN IMAGE of a poisonous snake. How pagan!! Worshippers of satan have always used the time of the full moon for their rites - even preMoses. Yet, most of the Jewish festivals(which began AFTER the pagans practiced theirs) are based upon the times of the full moon. Your claim that something that “of pagan origin” is not to be celebrated has way too many holes. Check out the names of the weekdays in any good dictionary and try to find one without a “pagan origin”. SUN day. MOON day, TIW’S day, WODEN’S day, THOR’S day, FRIG’S day, and SATURN’s day. Notice WHO they are named after. Least you believe you should change the days of the week and use Jewish days, their days come from Babylonian days - otherwise known as "pagan". I even appreciate those who call Christmas "X-Mas", because I realize that X stands for Christ, and it has since the days of the early church – or whatever we should call the gathering together of saints, seeing that pagan word “Church” has a pagan origin – the English Celtics’ circle of trees or stones.
