religious holidays Happy holidays?
Cristiani and pagans
Unfortunately, human beings like parties. The pagans have set up by the thousands. To honor the sun, moon, stars and an infinite number of gods.
But even the religious have not made less. Buddhist, Islamic, Catholic, Orthodox, Protestants and all the followers of all other religions have their holidays, often fighting each other. For example, among the Christian churches themselves have argued over what to do, what not to do and on what date her or not to.
And so on until the very end of some of the new sects which have all banned, not just the "pagan" and civilians, but also religious ones! And, especially religious ones, because they decided that the very idea of \u200b\u200b"party" is pagan. Do not allow to celebrate your birthday!
How to find the right position, if any?
We evangelical Christians do not know where to look if the answer is not in the Bible. We have no other authority can enact rules to be part of God
The Old Testament is the book that chronicles the origins and faith of the Jews, along with their religious holidays. Controlled, mind you, by God! The discussions of the Old Testament is not ever question whether it is right or not observe the holidays. For them it was right to observe and required the parties established by God, just as it was wrong and offensive to God by observing the feasts of the pagans.
All festivals commanded by God to the Jews there to celebrate and remember the great interventions of God in human history in their favor. Honoring the qualities of God, the one God, Creator, Sustainer, Ruler of the universe and serve as a reminder to the Jewish people's love, mercy, the power was exercised in his favor.
course, all the festivals of the pagans there to honor other "forces", events or characters (existing or imaginary), who were honored in the place of the one God, and, in fact, disgraced. So Dio vietava tutte le “feste” pagane e puniva chi le osservava.
Eccoci arrivati, dunque, alla domanda: “Quali feste è permesso, o comandato, ai credenti di osservare oggi?” E “quali delle feste osservate oggi sono pagane e da abbandonare?”
Pensaci. Ne riparleremo la settimana prossima.
