Why Pagan holidays instead of God's Holy Days? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why is it that those who profess to follow and obey Christ are so ready to observe, defend and promote Pagan festivals, which believers are repeatedly told not to do, and to dispense with and ignore God's appointed Holy Days as found in Scripture, which things we are specifically told to observe, defend and promote?

Um... because there's no compelling reason to believe as you do?

Paganism is older than your “God”

@Cuda6868 Nothing is older than God.

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. one man regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God

🍿 🍺 and watches....I think hippy has two accounts. Is he arguing with himself?
Can it be?

Should we take bets on who will win this battle royale
Of the zealots?.

Pay per view rights?

Anything or time that brings people to honor God is a good thing.

The fact that the date may coincide with another event is irrelevant and screaming about it makes you no better than the atheists who do so.

This is why I don't do the tree. It's not part of my belief system. But I do celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ because Christmas is an opportunity to celebrate it. He was probably conceived around Christmas time.

Because it is not stated in scripture which dates the days fall on, it's down to translation and each translation is different, the other problem is that some of the"holy days" were in fact already pagan festivals that organised religions stole, why do you think easter moves? We celebrate the waking of mother earth and the rebirth of the planet, you celebrate the rising from the dead of Gods son, surely that was a big enough deal for at least one person to remember the date?
BiblicalWarrior · 51-55, M
@Johnblackthorn Actually, if you look in the Bible, the dates for God's appointed Holy Days are recorded quite clearly. Passover, for example, is the 14th day of Nisan on the Hebraic calendar, and always falls on that exact date every year.

It's up to people themselves what they want to do.Judge not lest you be judged..or something like that.
Pagan is real. Has a real objective history. That's why.

Because none of it's real and we're sticklers for tradition. That's why there's so many types of Christianity.

Like having a "Christmas" tree, for example?
