Thread Name: BS: the true Christmas holiday
Subject: RE: BS: the true Christmas holiday
Merry Christmas!!!! If you don't like that, feel free to just scroll on, I won't take offense. Neither will I take offense of anyone uses any other (reasonably polite) greeting this time of year, for any other holiday.
So what's wrong with that?
Recently my 7-year old grandson began singing in his Christian church's youth choir. He got a big kick out of it, and told some of his friends at school. Another boy from a different denomination of Christian church told him that it was a sin to do this, because only True Christians are permitted to sing for God. If others do it, that constitutes blasphemy or cursing. Well, this created a big flap in the public school and parents had to be called in and everyone had to have disciplinary counseling, and now his spirit is troubled, and he may need more help...
It has been said that the True Church will soon have to go underground to practice, so as to avoid getting thrown to the lions, just like in the first century, and of course this will strengthen the True Church and maybe then we'll remember how to speak in tongues properly.
Of course, with over 1000 denominations out there, it's going to get pretty crowded in the subway tunnels.
I guess its just that kids in school don't have First Amendment rights like mature folkies do.
Well, enough!
Once again, Merry Christmas to all, especially to those who like to celebrate it! MD
