  • Part V of my Response of my Response to Centuri0n on Christmas

    This is the fifth, and final, post in my series of posts to Centuri0n. As I’ve pointed out in each of the last three posts, one should really start with the first post and read sequentially. (part 1)(part 2)(part 3)(part 4) In this part, I’ll be tackling Centuri0n’s conclusion:*** Centuri0n’s Conclusion, including embedded quotations ***It…

  • Part IV of my Response of my Response to Centuri0n on Christmas

    This is the fourth part of a series of response to a recent post from Centuri0n. I suggest that you read the first three parts first, in order to gain a proper perspective and context. (part 1)(part 2)(part 3) In this part, I’ll be addressing Centuri0n’s claim that: “Here’s a short list of things that…

  • Part III of my Response of my Response to Centuri0n on Christmas

I preface this series by indicating my sincere appreciation of Centuri0n taking his time to interact with what I have written, and to state that I consider Centuri0n to be a brother in Christ. The tone may get a little hot and heavy, but…

  • Is Christimas a Catholic Holiday?

    In a recent discussion with Centuri0n (the wise Turk), he noted with apparent surprise my curious insistence, as a Puritan, that Christmas is a vestige of Catholicism, and is primarily objectionable for that reason, not for its more ancient connection with paganism. Let’s be clear about one thing: just because one celebrates the birth of…

  • This December, Consider Not Celebrating

    This December, consider – to the Lord – not celebrating Christmas. Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not,…
