P. 44

Now, you've heard me preach many times



           over the years in this church, and there are



           things  that  we  have  done  or  that  we  do,



           customs  and  whatever  that  we  think  have



           been around 2,000 years, and when we look



           at the Scriptures and consider history, we find



           that they've not been around that long. Many



           Christians over the years stood against this



           holiday.  It's not that they hated Christ.  They



           loved  Christ  and  they  were  zealous  for  His



           name.




           The Scriptures and Customs and Traditions



                  Colossians 2:8 says, “Beware lest any man



           spoil  you  through  philosophy  and  vain



           deceit,  after  the  tradition  of  men,  after  the



           rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
