To that person that be in Christ,
    I need to do a serious revision on the text that I sent. When I said that
God never observed paganistic holidays (of course he didn't),what I meant to
say was that the  Christians of that day never observed paganistic
holidays.I am sure that many of you understood what I was saying. The Sunday
Resurrection is very important to people in the Christian faith, but the point
is that the Catholics have tainted that day with paganistic practices that
were before the Lord's Resurrection, in order to draw heathens into their
church. I would like  give credit to a Pastor Gary Reckart whose
monologue I used to get my point across from his introduction in a book he
wrote entitled "Christmas Paganism" . To end the conversation I don't believe
we need to take part in paganistic celebrations to draw people into the church.
That's not the will of God.I 'll revise my text the next time I put something
out. Sorry, if I have confused anyone.

P.S. I agree with the T.R. guy about the UPC being a man-made organization. I
belong to a UPC church, and I believe that its the best oneness, sanctified
church in all of ILLINOIS, but grow weary of being labeled pentecostal. I like
oneness apostolic more. Whether the T.R. guy belongs to a man-made organization
himself, I do not know, but it still does not discourage the truth that he has
revealed. What he mentioned, was the second time I been told such in less than
hour so it's not just a coincidence. I believe God has revealed something unto
us all. Take heed to it.


To the acts 2:38, one-lord, one-faith, one-baptism people,
