or believe in the Trinity or enjoy Haloween, or wear anything that some pagan belief might have worn or used in their cults? Or to go to church any day other than Saturday is wrong.
They then judge other Xians for doing these things. Don't they know that God was a Trinity first? That every day is the Lords before a false god tried to claim it for itself? Did you know that false gods tried to usurp all Gods Identity? For instance the Lion. Jesus is the Lion of Judah. Satan goes around like a lion seeking who he can devour. There are pagan trinity. But God was a trinity first. For any name God is revealed, satan has a copy cat. God heals. Satan has lieing wonders.

When I write Xmas or Xians, X stands for Christ for me. X is the first Greek letter in the Greek word for Christ. X is symbolic of Christ. Do a net search for it if you don't believe me.

Not trying to judge, but I think for a real Christian it's not that important to follow all rituals and customs. It' s only important what you have in your soul and thoughts. Your actions and the way you live your every day determine if you're a good Christian or not. If you have light and kindness inside, if you're good, helping and forgiving to other people but for some reason you can't go to church every week ets, you're much closer to Heaven then some hypocrat who follows all rules, traditions and rituals but has evil, greed, hate deep inside. This is probably the biggest difference between Christian religion and pagan cults. Pagans try to achieve something by accomplishing a sequence of certain actions (rituals). And a Christian must try to be pious every minute, sins will be forgiven when you sincerely repent, ask for forgiveness and do something do deserve it. This may take a lifetime or even more and certanly can't be achieved by just claping your hand or saying some "magic word".
So if one's soul and thoughts are clear, he needs not to worry about some symbols. Aspecially if they are originally Christian symbols like cross or the Trinity. Their meaning is determined only by what you mean by these symbols. Even the best, the lighest symbols can be turned bad by a bad person. And using them to express or emphasize one's faith can't possibly by a sin.
I'm Ukrainiuan so I don't celebrate Haloween but I don't mind people celebrate it if they mean no evil and do it just to get togeather and get some fun. I go to church any day and any time I feel like 'cause otherwise it would be resisting God when he calls me and this is certainly noy good. If my soul is sore and looking for peace should I wait till Saturday to get it?
One shouldn't try to see black sheep everywhere. Being suspicious to everybody only produces evil. Not beliving in things that symbolise Christianity how can one call himself a Christian?

Actually the trinity of Christians is only about 2000 years old because before then there was no Christ and no Christians. Pagan trinities (mostly female trinities) date back much further.
Secondly, Satan is a bastardization of the Celtic God Herne. The Catholic Church first used His image as their devil during the Inquisitions to say that Pagans were worshiping their devil.
And Thirdly, Christians murdered countless Pagans, stole their land, and defiled their places of worship to usurp their faith.
So just who is the copycat?
As far as not wearing open signs of faith, most places of business have that rule to prevent prejudice in the workplace, just like the good old, "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

First of all there is not such thing as a Xian. It is called Christian. the IAN means I am nothing with out Christ in my life. Secondly to wear a cross on your neck DOES NOT make you a Christian. I am a born again Chrisitan and I will not wear a cross. It was a torture instrument. Do you wear crowns of thorns as jewerly? Or even a cat of nine tails?
If you want others to see the Lord through you, live for the one who took our sins with Him on the cross. Live a life that is reflective of Jesus.
Being a Christian, why would I celebrate holloween which is the day of satan? Christians are fully aware of who the Trinity is. God the Father, God the son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost, which were all there when God created the universe and all in it.
Genesis1:26 And God said,
"LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AFTER OUR LIKENESS": and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
This image was of their spirit/soul. God also says this...
Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man
Why do you bring up other Gods when God tells us clearly not to...
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and MAKE NO MENTION OF OTHER gods, NEITHER LET IT BE HEARD OUT OF THY MOUTH.
Judges 10:13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
God is very jealous and wants our lips to give reverance to Him and to no other deity.
Look before you leap. Think before you speak. Don't be a patsy for satan.

I rejoice the resurrection by means of dressed in an empty move. The fact of the problem is that Jesus stated earlier than His demise; that once He is lifted up, He will draw all mankind to Him. Signifying how He might die. I just like the empty move, a few just like the move with a tortured blameless guy on it. I feel crucifixes are powerfull symbols that exhibit us how evil the sinful nature of mankind can get. But but, Jesus being sinless defeated the curse of demise for us & raised from the lifeless so we will also elevate from the lifeless successful over demise at resurrection day entire.

Excellent post. My ex-inlaws were this way, ignoring Halloween, bot putting up any kind of Christmas Tree, or giving presents. It was odd to me, and I still dont quite understand why, except they explained it as, not wanting to practice anything that destracted from God. Who knows.

2 Cor. 5:7; Some people walk by sight; not by faith. (The congregation I was raised in that way of thinking; I have left it though).

Once you know a truth, why continue living a lie? "If you love me you will keep my commandments." If you don't know who said that then go look it up.
