Let me start by saying that I believe it is my duty to be the spiritual leader of my household. It is my duty to discern good from evil, including the spiritual realm. This is at the heart of what God meant when he said he wanted women to submit to their husbands. It wasn't sexual or habitual or anything like that. The command centers on spiritual discernment and assumes that I have been granted a better ability to know right from wrong than my wife does (as illustrated by the story of Adam and Eve). I take this duty seriously. I bought my wife a yoga mat for Christmas one year. I did this because I know my wife only intends to physically exercise when it comes to yoga. There is no spiritual connection for her. If I come home and find her in downward dog, I won't think anything of it{b] (except maybe that I want to go to bed with her). NOW I know why Christians think that yoga is demonic! [/quote][/quote] But I don't think that yoga is demonic. I just think its origins are and that it can be when used a certain way. I would never allow my wife to engage in anything truly demonic. |

I don't know anything about this guy but I find this interesting: I'm not a Christian, let alone a devout one, but I would think Easter eggs would also be a no-go. They're symbols of a pagan Goddess that Easter itself is named after. I guess winters or Heretic will have to explain that one to me. The older churches call it Paschal, not Easter. Also, the eggs represent the resurrection, not anything else. I know you were hoping for a more in depth answer, but Easter is about the resurrection in Christianity. Is there anything in the Bible about eggs representing the resurrection? |

I have no idea what you are talking about right now. I actually know exactly what Eddy is talking about, but it's fun to make him think his little white font treatment can hide his remarkable mistake in this thread. And yet I've given you to glaring hints. If someone else wants to inform you, so be it... personally I'm just gonna point and laugh a bit longer.  Joke's on you, dickhead. You're still flailing from your original misunderstanding of my post here. You fucked up. Own it. |

...and I'm saying that millions WERE believers that a crooked, lying, hypocritical, rapist supporting, disgusting politician, genuinely had their best interests at heart. IKR? trump supporters WERE just that delusional... hell they still ARE. |

If I come home and she's meditating on her yoga mat, now we have problems. Likewise, symbols are only meaningful when there is spiritual intent behind the use of those symbols. Since I know my wife is smart, and, more importantly, that she belongs to Christ, I have no concerns about yoga in our house because "a house divided cannot stand." I hope that makes sense. To be honest, not much about religion makes sense to me. It seems like it would be a chore to determine how much demonic influence is acceptable. If it makes sense to you and your wife, though, that's fine. Thanks for the explanation. Sure thing. For the record, 1% demonic influence is not acceptable. I think you misunderstood. Let's just say that this pastor - and many before him - are erring on the side of caution, but erring nonetheless. There is nothing demonic about stretching on a mat, which is why I allow it in my house. "Stretching on a mat" is worlds away from the spiritual denotation of yoga's origins. |

Let me give a proper answer to your post: I find married, monogamous sex to be just heavenly and I do it with God's blessing as frequently as I can. |

If you want to understand Christianity, read the Gospel of John. short,and it is not my favorite gospel, but its the only one with the high lvl ofspiritualism. If that's not your thing, read Mark. Similar story. You can do it in less than a day. Now as far as demonic influence, it's quite simple...are you praising another god? That's it. Literally. The Bible mentions this is a no no over and over and over. |

Many Christian holy days and practices have pagan roots. And? Which Protestant Christian holy days are to anyone but God or Jesus? Which require worshipping other gods? I guess you could say Mardi Gras is dedicated to Bacchus,but I dont think that s recognized by most Christians. All Saints Day (Halloween)
Easter - Dedicated to the Goddess Hester who was a fertility goddess and her symbols were the egg and the rabbit.
Christmas - Many, many pagan rituals here
And many more have their roots in pagan traditions and were co-opted by Christianity

Halloween is not a protestant holiday, it is a catholic one. Nor is it the same as all saints day which is the day after. Easter is not dedicated to Hester, it is dedicated to Jesus. Christmas is also dedicated to Jesus. |

And Christmas as it is celebrated now wasn’t even a big holiday until late in the 19th century. Decorating trees is definitely a former pagan practice. From wiki: "by the early-to-mid fourth century the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25,[23] a date that was later adopted in the East." "...The feast regained prominence after 800, when Charlemagne was crowned emperor on Christmas Day." Now I realize the it fell out of favor for a while, but Charlemagne clearly knew about that date. No one really knows when Jesus was born. That date was selected since most of the Roman Empire celebrated the Saturnalia around the Winter Solstice. Likewise, the soon to be Christianized Germanic people and Celts had big feasts (Yule Tide and Fire Festival) at about the same time. Of course, Christ’s birth has been a religious holy day...Christ’s Mass...from the beginning, but about 75% of the traditions Westerners use to celebrate Christmas have next to nothing to do with Jesus. And when the Reformed Churches came into being, most of the Christianized pagan traditions were banned by them. And early Americans were not much into Christmas. |

Christmas is also dedicated to Jesus. You Trumpanzees do love being uneducated. What does Trump have to do with this thread? I realize that you reject God and follow a left hand path, as evidenced by you admitting that you literally dated the high priestess of Satanism in one thread, but Hallow's Eve is not the same as All Saints Day. It's an entirely different date. Such ignorance is astounding, which leads me to believe that you did so on purpose. After all, lies are a source of power. But I have this to say to you: You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye. |

Okay....but my post was a response to your claim about it being a 19th century tradition. Charlemagne was clearly a professed Christian. It's not up for debate. So I showed how over 1000 years prior, he recognized Christmas and then you deflected. |

So I showed how over 1000 years prior, he recognized Christmas and then you deflected. Again, I’m not referring to the actual church holy day, but the celebration that has surrounded it over the centuries. The Christmas festivals themselves are of pagan origin. And the modern (since the 19th century) Christmas is mostly secular and commercial. Even the Santa character is only remotely related to St Nicholas. And consider this, in America, the Christmas Season starts with Thanksgiving and usually ends on, if not before, New Year’s Day. However, the traditional Christmas Season begins on Christmas Day and ends on the Feast of the Epiphany...the 12 Days of Christmas. |
