The Sugar Coating of Paganism

Sugar Coating of Paganism By: G. Colleen Henry

Introduction How do the PseudoChristian churches celebrate the ancient pagan holidays of today without people realizing it? First, let us search the bible to see what was said about these churches today.

Looking at the Bible Isaiah 4:1 “And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach”.

Reproach: An expression of rebuke or disapproval, blame, discredit, disgrace or dishonor.

That “man” that the women wanted to take hold to is Christ. Who are the women?

Introduction Those women represent the Pseudo-Christian churches. Why do we attach ‘pseudo’ to their name. Pseudo is defined as not genuine, being apparent rather than actually as stated. In other words, though these churches use the name of Christ, in reality they are not like the Savior. Instead they are filled with idolatry, paganism and heathenism.

Pseudo-Christian The Pseudo-Christian churches have their own doctrine and belief and use Christ’s name to justify who they are and what they do. This is what is meant by “we will eat our OWN bread and wear our OWN apparel only let us be called by thy name.” But what does Christ say about people of these Pseudo-Christian churches, particularly the leaders? Let us review the scriptures.

2 Corinthians 11: 13-15 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of the righteous; whose end shall be according to their works�.

Pseudo-Christian Resources reveal that there are approximately 41,000 so-called Christian denominations, all with their different versions of the truth. You have the Roman Catholics, the Protestants, the Mormons and so on. How did it come to be so many? We know that after the Protestant Reformation, when groups began to break away from the Catholic church, they began to form their own doctrine but still deeply rooted in Catholic Paganism. These Pseudo-Christian churches do some good in the name of Christ, such as giving to the poor.

However they have mislead many people and continue to disobey God’s commandments.

Because they do have some good and recognize Christ, they are considered to be on the “lighter’ side of Satan’s churches

Satan’s Churches The dark side of Satan’s churches are Hinduism, Buddhism, Wiggins, Taoism, Voodoo, witchcraft, Islam, pseudo-Jewish and all churches that do not believe in Christ. The lighter sided uses Christ’s name, in this way, it can trap people who reject the darker side of Satan.

Halloween Every pagan holiday, they put Christ’s name in it.

Halloween on the dark side of Satan is the day of the dead. On the light side of Satan it is All Saints Day. However, they all worship their ancestors as well as Satan and death. Some of the light sides of Satan’s churches preach against Halloween yet they set aside the same day to let their children dress up in costumes, give out candy and have fun and frolic. They change the name of Halloween to Hallelujah Celebration or Fall Festival of fun. They say they do this to prevent the children from trick or treating. These days are celebrated on October 31 and November 1. By this, the people are deceived because they use children and sugar-coat this pagan holiday by giving candy and prizes which they think will take away the reproach of these festivals of paganism.

Christmas Christmas is deeply rooted in paganism.

History reveals that this day was used to celebrate the rise of the sun God. During this festival, the barbarians would worship their idol gods, deck trees with gold and silver, sacrifice humans and perform lascivious acts while feasting. When the Roman Catholic church began to spread pseudo-christianity throughout the world, the barbarians were resistant to abandoning their own customs and traditions. So they decided to adopt many of their customs but put Christ’s name in it to justify it, hence we have Christmas.

Christmas As Christmas gain momentum, they created Santa Clause, a jolly man with a white beard who would bring gifts, candy, and cookies to the good children. They even have their children praying to Santa Clause for toys. While this is going on, the merchants are making money hand over foot. They make more money this season than they make the whole year!

Christmas They used the birth of Christ to sugar coat this holiday, thus, putting it on the lighter side of Satan. Now Christmas is such an important holiday that many people who don’t even believe in Christ (on the darker side of Satan) celebrate it.

They have changed the name of Christmas to Happy Holidays, so that all people with different beliefs around the world can celebrate this holiday and make the merchants richer!

Christmas When you look at how they beautifully decorate everything with bright colors it puts people in the mindset to celebrate and spend. The merchants bring out their fair wares for you to see, taste and buy. There are even special shopping days at malls or on the internet. There are Christmas movies, cards, TV shows and music , all to get you in the mood to spend.

Easter We can also look at Easter. Again they put Christ’s name in this as they celebrate fertility with Easter eggs, rabbits, candy and gifts they give to children. This holiday is again the lighter side of Satan because they talk about Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. However, the dark side of Satan is the history and roots of Easter, which includes the spring equinox, rites of fertility to their gods, and human sacrifice for fertile fields.

Lent/Easter Not only do they use the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ to justify Easter but they have created Lent, which is the season preparation before Easter. During Lent, individuals choose a fast of their choice (i.e. giving up chocolate) for 40 days. This is done after Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, which represents the time of mirth, frolic and wine. The season of Lent is suppose to emulate the fast that Christ did for 40 days and nights. By participating in Lent, many so-called Christians feel justified when celebrating Fat Tuesday, which is filled with sin.

In Conclusion Despite all of the sugar-coating, these pagan festivals all have roots of idolatry, witchcraft, fornication, adultery and human-sacrificing.

Amen.
