This is where the irony grows extremely strong and becomes apparent. Christian parents will keep their children away from trick-or-treating and dressing up in costumes; they will avoid Halloween calling it devils night and Satan’s holiday. They will rail at its being pagan and demonic… Only to drag a tree into their house a few months later and give their kids presents from some fat guy that climbs down their chimney; they avoid Halloween like the plague but embrace the pagan holiday of Christmas with pomp.

What’s gives?

What difference does it make between one pagan holiday and another? Are we better for refusing one and embracing the other, or better off? And if we are not willing to go all out in ridding our lives wholly of heathenism, why are we even bothering at all?

All pagan holidays are one and the same.

No they do not proceed from Babylon like so many Messy mythologies make out that they do. They were not started by Nimrod. They were not organized by Sameraimis. That one ancient society began leading the world into idolatry, but they are not to blame for all the baleful abominations, subsequent societies have created on their own.

We infact are more to blame for not doing our due diligence and studying the matters that we claim to be bad.

Halloween is not an ancient Babylonian death rite. It is, however, an American holiday shaped by American commercialism, and it is extremely modern. But it came to us from Irish immigrants.

Christmas is not the birthday of the ancient king of Babylon and it too is an American holiday shaped by American commercialism and extremely modern. But it came to us from German immigrants.

Easter is not the birthday of the ancient pagan sex goddess of Babylon but is an American holiday shaped by American commercialism and extremely modern; and it came to us by way of great Britain.

Each of these holidays evolved overtime, and their origins are lost to time. We can guess. We can speculate. We can suppose. But we cannot say for certain about the beginning of any of these bad habits.

However, we do know the point at which we inherited them. We know which cultures gave them to us, which countries they came through, and what captitalism has turned them into today.

Yet it is true that they are all the same. They are all pagan. They are all heathen. They are all “other”.

Everyone of these holidays comes to us from outside the pages of Scripture and beyond the people of Israel. They have nothing to do with us, nothing to do with our Saviour, nothing to do with our Way of Life. So why are we trying to have anything to do with them?

And why would we pick one and call the other evil? Is one pagan habit better than another? Is one pagan tradition more wholesome than another? Possible perhaps, but it should not be the point. Because no matter what it is in quality, it is foreign to the true faith.

Our Heavenly Father has given us holy days. Times that He decided deserve our celebration Appointments He makes on His calendar to meet with us. Happy occasions He believes are specia, and they are special because He made them so. These things actually celebrate what we claim to hold dear. Celebrations which actually preceded from the Scriptures themselves

Yet by and large, the people who claim to belong to the Book refuse all these as inherently Jewish. And refused them because they themselves are not Jewish… Yet they are not German. They are not Irish. They are not British. Even if our ancestors came from the land of those people and their blood is in whole or in part common unto theirs, they are mostly American. And most are Christian. So why would we refuse to celebrate one holiday they call Jewish on the basis of their not being that nationality or religion, but embrace another holiday that is actually German or Irish or British when they themselves are not that nationality either nor the religions of those peoples that made them originally? If we are not those things and we do not celebrate holidays that belong to other people, why are we taking those holidays and making them American, and why can we not do the same for the things we think are Jewish?

The question is worth asking…

But in truth these holy days are not Jewish at all. They were given to all of Israel, and they belong to the Almighty above. They are His celebrations gifted to us. Why should we refuse them in favor of lesser commercialized propagandized events that have no true meaning to us beyond nostalgia? And why should we refuse one pagan tradition while embracing another?

Give up your pagan holidays, one and all and return to the only days and times that are worth celebrating - those that belong to our Heavenly Father.
