Today’s topic:
False holidays abound now
Now that the holy days and
Feasts of God are ended, the pagan holidays will start
soon.
Beware of the "false
image" of love
Beware of "false
feelings and emotions"
These pagan feasts bring on loneliness, depression,
suicide and oh yes, debt.
------------------------------
Not many people knew
about the Feast of Tabernacles
All I see is October fest with
tents, yard sales etc…
Again, as of 2015, I see many people that still did not "look up" the following "pagan" holidays to avoid
them.
Scripture says:
Jer. 16 [19] Yehovah, my strength, and my fortress,
and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from
the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our
fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
[1] Hear ye the word which Yehovah
speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
[2] Thus saith
Yehovah, Learn not the way
of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the
heathen are dismayed at them.
[3] For the
customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth
a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
[4] They deck it with silver and
with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that
it move not.
[5] They are upright as the palm
tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because
they cannot go.
Be not
afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Isa. 5 [20] Woe unto them that call
evil good,
and good evil;
that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
[21] Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and
prudent in their own sight!
[22] Woe unto them that are mighty to drink
wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
[23] Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of
the righteous from him

Agree to disagree on made up
feasts?
NO!
Once upon a time, Halloween was
banned
Halloween was not celebrated in this
country until 1845
Stores are set up with their pagan
decorations already – 2015
157 Million Americans Will Celebrate Halloween This Year
----------------------
Pertaining to Christmas – X mas
Once upon a time, Christmas was banned
in 1659 in America
-----------------------
Below is just a short
review of the pagan festival of Halloween. Isn’t it amazing people will get mad
at us, that we do not want to participate in this pagan holiday.
1Pet.4
[1]
Forasmuch then as Messiah hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased
from sin;
[2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to
the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
[3] For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the
will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable
idolatries:
[4] Wherein they think it strange that ye run not
with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
[5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the
quick and the dead.
------------
Let’s read:
Halloween was and is a popular pagan festival of the dead
(sow –win - Samhain). The ancient Celts celebrated the New
Year on November 1. They believed that the souls of
the dead returned to Earth the night before.
Samhain is Gaelic for “summer’s end,” a day to
bid good-bye to warmth and light as day length shortens.
In an attempt to replace this festival, the Catholic Church moved the celebration of All Saints to
November 1. This is the day when all of the saints are honored, especially
those who did not have a day of their own.
This day was formerly known as Allhallowmas, hallow meaning
"holy" or "holy person." All Saints Day is known in England
as All Hallows Day.
The evening before, October
31, is known as All Hallows Eve,
the origin of the American word Halloween!
In later years, the Irish used hollowed-out, candlelit
turnips carved with a demon’s face to frighten away the spirits. When Irish
immigrants in the 1840s found few turnips
in the United States, they used the more plentiful pumpkins instead, sad to
say.
Often overshadowed by the two days preceding
it, Halloween (October 31) and All Saints Day (November 1),
(November 2), All Souls Day is a solemn feast in the Roman Catholic Church commemorating all of those
who have died and now are in Purgatory,
being cleansed of their venial sins and the temporal
punishments for the mortal sins that they had confessed and atoning
before entering fully into Heaven.
History of All
Souls Day:
The importance of All Souls Day was made clear by Pope
Benedict XV (1914-22), when he granted all priests the privilege of celebrating
three Masses on All Souls Day: one, for the faithful departed; one for the
priest's intentions; and one for the intentions of the Holy Father. Only on a
handful of other very important feast days are priests allowed to celebrate
more than two Masses.
How’s that for pagan doctrine? Beware!

National Retail
Federation on Halloween
WASHINGTON, September 23, 2015 – Ready to embrace cooler
weather, fall traditions and spirited celebrations, more than 157 million
Americans plan to celebrate Halloween this year, according to the National
Retail Federation’s Halloween Consumer Spending Survey conducted by Prosper
Insights & Analytics. The average person celebrating will spend $74.34,
compared with $77.52 last year. Total spending on Halloween is expected to
reach $6.9 billion
“After a long summer, consumers are eager to embrace fall
and all of the celebrations that come with it,” NRF president and CEO Matthew
Shay said. “We expect those celebrating Halloween this year will look for
several different activities to do with their family and friends. Consumers are
ready to take advantage of promotions on candy, decorations and costumes, and
retailers are ready to serve them.”
Consumers celebrating Halloween plan to spend an average
of $27.33 on costumes for the whole family, and a total of $2.5 billion on
store-bought, homemade, large and small costumes. Those celebrating will spend
the most on adult costumes ($1.2 billion), and will spend a total of $950
million on children’s costumes and $350 million on fashionable and fun costumes
for their furry friends. It’s estimated that 68 million Americans will dress up
this Halloween and another 20 million pet owners will dress up their pet.
Nine in 10 (93.7%) Halloween shoppers will buy candy,
spending a total of $2.1 billion, and an additional 33.5 percent will buy
greeting cards, spending a total of $330 million. Two in five celebrants
(44.8%) plan to decorate their home or yard, meaning there’s no question
consumers will see their fair share of pumpkins, hay bales and even life-size
Minions and black cats strewn across their neighborhoods. The average person
planning to buy decorations will spend $20.34 with total spending expected to
reach $1.9 billion.
It is clear to see that HALLOWEEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PAGAN CELEBRATION OF DEATH.
See a lot of
tombstone decorations where you live? Death abounds, beware!
“Tis the season to be pagan” is
coming, and already around us!
I am reminded always
to inform you to beware of the false image of
love, false emotions, loneliness, depression,
financial drain, suicide and the artificial
false festival lights they put up.
Satan really sets the
stage for you.
Beware if you feel or
hear a voice telling you to separate yourself for the congregation, go off on
your own and read or whatever.
Some Pagan religions are having classes at their facilities to
address these (false) issues.

Then there is the everlasting battle between the two worldviews,
Creation and Evolution.
Here is an interesting article I
read
Eugenics: Eliminating Human Weeds
By
Russ Miller
Matthew
7:17 Even
so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 20 Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.
According
to the Lord Yeshua, we are to discern good from bad
by the fruit produced.
While
I often expose the evil fruit of Darwinism, which is a fruit of old-earth beliefs,
in this writing I want to discuss two of the tainted fruits growing from the corrupt
combination of millions
of years leading to Darwinism: abortion and eugenics.
Sir
Francis Galton is known as the Father of Eugenics.
The
word comes from a combination of Greek words which mean well-born and is defined as the study to improve the physical and mental
characteristics of the human race. So who would argue with that?!
Well,
hold on for a moment because, though eugenics may sound delightful on the
surface, history reveals its fruit includes the pre-mature death of millions of
people in order to eliminate the unworthy.
Abortion is one of the primary tools for eugenicists
and, so you are aware, Sir Francis Galton was Charles Darwin’s cousin.
Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood in 1916 to eliminate what she called “human weeds” such as the disabled and “inferior races like Jews and Blacks.”
Today,
Planned Parenthood rakes in millions of dollars via the abortion industry and,
though blacks make up just 14% of the U.S. population, they total 36% of U.S.
abortions. Sanger also stated, “I look forward to
seeing humanity free…of the tyranny of Christianity.”
Why
Christianity? Because the Biblical Worldview holds that human life, from conception,
is made in the image of God.
Such
a view often gets in the way of those who desire to “improve the human
race.
” The
Nazis put eugenics into practice and two of their specific targets for elimination
were Jews and the disabled.
The Scientific Origins of National
Socialism, written in 1971, stated: “Social Darwinism
reached its peak in Nazi Germany under Hitler…the supreme evolutionist and
Nazism the ultimate fruit of the evolutionary tree.”
However, the
article was written before we legalized abortion in America.
Following
World War II eugenics became a dirty word, The
Annals of Eugenics changed its name to the Annals of Human Genetics while Eugenics Quarterly became
the Journal
of Social Biology.
Sadly,
many people today believe certain humans are less worthy of life and eugenics is back in vogue in laboratories and on
college campuses around the world.
Often
cloaked in terms of medical
breakthroughs that promise to improve the human
race, eugenics has been put into
practice once again.
For
instance, BreakPoint reported that an ABC News
article was touting a prenatal test which detects Downs
Syndrome, claiming the procedure would reduce the death of healthy babies.
However,
as Chuck Colson pointed out, since most women abort babies who have known
disabilities, the test will actually increase the number of deaths by abortion.
To
employ prenatal testing and abortion to eliminate babies who are deemed by the
Secular worldview as human
weeds who are less worthy of life is simply eugenics in action.
The
Biblical Worldview holds that every human life is precious and made in the image
of God. This view protects each of us from being deemed to be a human weed.
---------------
In
closing:
Simply put, the evil
and the insane run amuck
Beware of the "false
image" of love
Beware of "false
feelings and emotions"
These pagan feasts bring on loneliness, depression,
suicide and oh yes, debt.
Shabbat Shalom – be safe
