Christmas is a pagan religion just do small research ..easther is also a pagan activity ... But you are as dumb as two pennies so I won't try to worry much ...

Do Christians go to Church to worship idols or satan on Christmas day? You have no right to termed Christmas as paganism.
When roman pagans got converted to Christianity, they obliterated their worship of idols and diverted their zeal and energy to the worship of Jehovah with a strong belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Whatever it stood for is not important other than it is now a day set to celebrate the birth of Christ.

This is the only important thing to remember.

you don't say.. well to each his own brother. But the same bible says people perish for lack of knowledge.

Do you think any human being needs to go listen to sermon every Sunday in church of they just read the Bible and tried to understand it themselves?

That is why people will remain sheep thinking they can fool God with their Luke warm life

Do you know the people God hates ?

Lukewarm people ... You rather be hot or cold becasue of you are lukewarm God says "I will spit you out " ... If that don't scare you then what will?

hmm do you know about the council of nicea? Please look it up and the purpose for which it was held .

There is some debate on when the Bible was completed. Some claim that the Bible was completed when the Council of Nicaea 'picked' the books to include in the Bible. That is incorrect. That council, convened in AD 325 by Constantine - the newly minted 'Christian' emperor - to address a heresy, merely affirmed for the emperor's new official religion what Christians already had been reading as the completed Bible for over two centuries. In fact, the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John began to be stitched together in the first century AD to distinguish them from the many dubious writings that had begun to circulate

The Bible was completed in late 1st century AD when God used John, the last surviving Apostle, to close the last book of the Bible with this stern warning:

“For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” (Revelation 22:18-19).

Why weren’t other writings included in the original Bible?
Recognizing a writing as the word of God wasn’t done on someone’s whim or personal preference but was based on whether or not it met the criteria of “canon”: the writer had to have been one of Jesus' Apostles or their note taker; the writer at least had to claim to have written from divine inspiration (which then needed to be confirmed); and the content could neither contradict what already had been recognized as the word of God nor contain any other error

Arius whose teaching brought about the council of nicea in 325 AD was born in 250 AD, now do the maths, that's around a hundred and fifty years from late first century AD when the Bible was completed and over two hundred years from AD 325. Arius wasn't contexting what was written in the Bible, he was contexting the church interpretation of what was written in the Bible

"The controversy began when Arius, an Alexandrian priest, questioned the full divinity of Christ because, unlike God, Christ was born and had a beginning. What began as an academic theological debate spread to Christian congregations throughout the empire, threatening a schism in the early Christian church"


The passage in quote highlights what the controversy was all about, it wasn't about corruption of the Bible, it was about the interpretation of the full divinity of Christ, Arius went against the interpretation the church had been propagating about the full divinity of Christ, but the church was given the opportunity to counter him in AD 325, what's so difficult to understand here, if you believe Arius teaching that came over 200yrs after the Bible, why should I stop you
