True Christians would never do that. The Catholic Church adopted pagan beliefs to get them to join the Church. The Bible calls anything that goes against the teachings of the Bible "unclean". Jehovah's Witnesses do not get involved in things that are clearly pagan, such as beliefs in the trinity, hellfire and the immortality of the human soul. They also shun holidays such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween which have pagan roots.

First lets get a hold of your words okay, what other christians do IS NOT your deal, pagan or not, ITS WHAT "YOU" believe that the deal, but it doesn't stop there, let me redo a famous verse in the most famous verse in all the bible John 3:16 For God [The Father] "SO" Loved the world that He gave [Jesus gave Himself] that whosoever [you] shall BE-LIVE in Him shoud not perish but Have everlasting life, do you have faith, good but so does satan, faith must be put into action for it to be worth anything Jn 14:15 IF you love Me keep my commandments, IF you love Him enough to do what He says you will be in Heaven IF not you won't, so what pagans or anyone else beliefs are is pointless, you walk now within your own grave fact, living on probation time bought you by the Sacond member of The Godhead Jesus Christ, what ARE YOU doing with it now that is a question isn't it? free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com hay visit A Seventh Day Adventist Church in your area, God bless

You mean like christmas which was originally a pagan feast for the light (sorry don't know the exact translation)? They did that to force christianity down every body's throat I guess.

When former pagan holidays no longer honor the false gods they once did, but honor the one, true God, instead, it's not ridiculous twisting ... it's conversion ... conversion that was paid for by the death and suffering of the early Christian martyrs.
Let's see you do any better.

There have been lots of early church heresies and false teachings! Jesus warned us about them as did Paul. The challenge to all believers is to realize that they have enemies trying to infiltrate them and change the Gospel!

History tells us that they did so in order to make it easier on other members to convert to Christianity.

because after turning their libraries to ash, and many of them into corpses, they still would not convert....
