What we Represent

It was brought to my attention recently that when we represent something we fully accept and represent that idea whether it be an Idea, product, or belief to the onlookers. (people that see us representing)

Example: if I wear a tee-shirt with a logo of a bad movie (with cussing, violence, nudity and sexual explicitness) then that is showing the world (strangers/friends/family) that I not only condone everything in that movie but I like it to the point of wearing it on a shirt to promote it.

Now, lets look at Christmas. (Assuming that you the reader already knows that the holiday is pagan and an apostate representation of Christ.)

If we decide that we are just going to put up a tree (and decorations), see family, and swap gifts; but not celebrate the Roman Catholic elements that blaspheme Christ, then we assume that this is okay. Because it is a time of family and nostalgic good feelings from our past. ...

... Well, if we accept one small part of this celebration then we accept everything the celebration represents. This is a matter of public opinion. (in other words this is what people will assume, not what you actually believe in your heart) For example if you wear Christmas shirts, you condone everything Christmas stands for. If you put up a tree and exchange gifts, then you are telling the world and every one who sees you doing it, that you are not only okay with the Roman Catholic Mass (Christ-Mass) but you celebrate it. You are telling people that you not only hold true to the worship of a 4th century Roman Catholic Bishop (St. Nicholas) but you also condone and practice the Pagan celebrations of YULE and Saturnalia. (12 days of Christmas). In condoning the celebrations of Saturnalia you also accept, condone and like the practice of orgies with children and animals with animal and sometimes human sacrifices to Saturn. By accepting the date of December 25th as the represented day of Christ's carnal birth, you accept that Christ is incarnate of Mithras the Sun God, and his mother Queen of the Universe, Mary being divine and assisting in the salvation of God's people along with Christ's atonement and taking the Eucharist.

Woah! That is absurd! Kind of extreme right? Well, we have to know what we are representing to the unlearned eyes of this world. If we represent something that is offensive to Christ, then we are telling others that it is okay to offend Christ. (and telling Christ we are okay with others offending him)

In other words some of the traditions of this seasonal celebration seem to not be blasphemous, but they represent something that is. If you represent Christmas in any way, then you represent everything it stands for.
