The widely used Christian symbol of a cross is of pagan origin. Also Jesus was not killed on a cross he died on a single beam tortoure steak. According to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, the Greek word stauros ““denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake." On such malefactors were nailed for execution. Both the noun and the verb stauroo, "to fasten to a stake or pale," are originally to be distinguished from the ecclesiastical form of a two beamed "cross." The shape of the latter had its origin in ancient Chaldea, and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz (being in the shape of the mystic Tau, the initial of his name) in that country and in adjacent lands, including Egypt. By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D. the churches had either departed from, or had travestied, certain doctrines of the Christian faith. In order to increase the prestige of the apostate ecclesiastical system pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was adopted to stand for the "cross" of Christ.”

 

Imagine how Satan, the demons and the angels would view you continuing to use a cross in worship. 

 

The popular belief of "hell", as a place of eternal tournament, is not from the Bible. Romans 6:23; Ezekiel 18:24; Psalm 37:20; 2 Thess 1:9 

 

According to Encyclopedia Britannica “Mesopotamian civilizations (Babylon) from the 3rd to the 1st millennium bce produced a rich literature dealing with death and hell. More details of this grim realm emerge in the poems about the Sumerian... fertility god Tammuz and his consort Inanna (Akkadian: Ishtar)... and a deity of fertility, sexual love, and war... Inanna, according to some versions of the myth, is said to have threatened... to crush the gates of hell and let the dead overrun the earth."

 

God never taught ancient Israel about a hell. God does not punish sinners with evil or torture. James 1:13, Romans 6:23, Jerimiah 32:35

 

God hates the idea of burning humans with fire. 2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6

 

False Christianity teaches people to misinterpret symbolism and illustrations in the Bible as proof of a fiery hell. Truly Satan is here on earth misleading almost everyone. Revelation 12:9

 

 

Popular Western Hoildays are not from the Bible

 

Halloween 

 

Halloween’s origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars. It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits... In Ireland, people started to carve demonic faces out of turnips to frighten away Jack’s wandering soul. Encyclopedia Britannica 

 

Christmas 

 

"The influence of the Saturnalia upon the celebrations of Christmas and the New Year has been direct. The fact that Christmas was celebrated on the birthday of the unconquered sun (dies solis invicti nati)... connected with the kalends of January (January 1, the Roman New Year) when houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and presents were given to children and the poor. Concerning the gift candles, the Romans had a story that an old prophecy bade the earliest inhabitants of Latium send heads to Hades and phota to Saturn... It is claimed that in Germany about 723 the English missionary St. Boniface encountered pagans preparing a sacrifice at an oak tree dedicated to the god Thor (Donar). Boniface took an ax to the tree, and, when not struck down by their god, he proclaimed to the awed pagans that a nearby evergreen was their “holy tree.”...

“Meant to represent the Garden of Eden, these evergreen trees were hung with apples and displayed in homes on December 24, the religious feast day of Adam and Eve. Other decorations were added—Martin Luther reportedly first hung lighted candles on a tree in the 16th century” Encyclopedia Britannica

 

Jesus was not born in December. Jesus never commanded for his birth to be celebrated. 

Ecclesiastes 7:1

 

New Year's celebrations

 

"The origins of the Lunar New Year festival are thousands of years old and are steeped in legends. One legend is that of Nian, a hideous beast believed to feast on human flesh on New Year’s day. Because Nian feared the colour red, loud noises, and fire, red paper decorations were pasted to doors, lanterns were burned all night, and firecrackers were lit to frighten the beast away.

The ever-popular but rarely successful act of making New Year’s resolutions is a lot older than many might think. Over 4,000 years ago, the Babylonians made promises to the gods as part of Akitu, a festival that celebrated the new year... In ancient China, it was said that evil spirits would look for victims during the coming of a new year. According to legend, these evil spirits could be scared away with noisy fireworks. Over time, we all kept the noise and the fireworks.. "Dictionary.com

 

Birthday Celebrations

 

"The Ancient Greeks started making cakes that were modeled after the moon as tribute to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. The cakes were made as circles, then lit with candles to shine like the moon.

There was also a common belief that evil spirits visited people on their birthdays. In order to scare the spirits away, people gathered on your birthday and made lots of noise. That’s how the birthday parties began. People came over to protect you.

St Patrick's Day

 

 Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish.[34][35] In pagan Ireland, three was a significant number and the Irish had many triple deities, which may have aided St Patrick in his evangelisation efforts.[36][37] .[38] Jack Santino speculates that it (The shamrock) may have represented the regenerative powers of nature, and was recast in a Christian context‍—‌icons of Saint Patrick often depict the saint "with a cross in one hand and a sprig of shamrocks in the other". - Wikipedia

 

Satan wants to pollute or worship. Yaweh appeciates our efforts to worship him with purity. John 4:23,24; Joshua 24:14
