pagan holidays- a little leaven...Reply

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Excuse me, but are you comparing a celebration of Christmas to burning
ones children in the fire? The worship of God is always more important
than the things of this world but try not to be so legalistic.We are in
the grace dispensation, it's different than the old testament law. Are
you one of those guys that thinks it's a sin for a woman to wear a hair
bow? Sis. Conant
