Christianity Diluted? ... contest: The Truth Behind the Pagan Customs
Christians around our globe are hated as poisonous snakes slithering around to spit death
insinuated. Although, Hindu leader Mohandas K. Gandhi stated:
“I know of no one who has done more for humanity than Jesus. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Christianity.”
Yet, he added: “The trouble is with you Christians. You do not begin to live up to your own teachings.”
Truth negated?... Why?... Is Christ and his principles really outdated?
Many enjoy a family favorite thick soup sublime
with fresh vegetables firm, beef tender added, even a bit of bourbon splashed into or a fine red wine.
Wanted this recipe the same each time
to experience again this deliciousness that comes to mind which tickles your thoughts, excites your tongue.
What happens when added subtitutes a little bit-by-bit by a family member rushed or needled to change by a friend commercially inclined?
Initially, will you quietly buck or take your leave or allow yourself to be distracted by the ambiance of the restaurant's new arrangement or for peace' sake permit your senses by manuevers appeased?
Since now it's gained a greater clientele!
Isn't that what's most important? Pockets to swell? Or is there actually more at stake?
Though not a fiery hell
since introduced into "Christianity": In the second century C.E.. The apocryphal book Apocalypse of Peter said of the wicked: “There is spread out for them unquenchable fire.”
During the same time period, writer Theophilus of Antioch quotes the Greek prophetess Sibyl as foretelling the punishments of the wicked: “Upon you burning fire shall come, and ever ye shall daily burn in flames.”
Cecil John Cadoux, historian of Christianity, noted that “the gradual and steady growth throughout the Church of a certain moral laxity” had the “attention of Christian leaders as early as... 140 A.D.”
He observed: “This abatement of the primitive moral rigour would naturally assist the process of conformity to the ways of the world.”
Thus someplace 'hot' needed for scriptures to be heeded?
Does it matter to Jah and Christ if in this place supposedly religious we stay, although not fed the same pure and true as in Jesus' day?
Notice an earlier written mandate
then you decide what decision to make:
"Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.
For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness?" 2 Cor. 6:14.
"For God is a God not of disorder but of peace." 1 Cor. 14:33.
And if we veer from his purpose
by others' association swayed
how will they know the truth about the future
and all of God's promises to be fulfilled by Christ
soon established on this earth
headed our way?
To those not knowing or even inclined
there does not exist one powerful enough to blind one's mind:
"among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through." 2 Cor. 4:4.
"And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light.
It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness.
But their end will be according to their works." 2Cor. 11:14, 15.
Therefore, should we not stick to what's right
as learned from “the Father of the celestial lights"?
For, “Every good gift and every perfect present is from above”. James 1:17.
And this God who is love
supports all obedient children
as "God is not partial,
but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him." Acts 10:34, 35.
Acceptable means not diluting the stew
unless approved by Him
who in the future
by means of His Son
"will wipe out every tear from their eyes,
and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things have passed away.”
And the One seated on the throne said:
“Look! I am making all things new.”
Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Rev. 21:4, 5.
Is this really what Constantine the Great had in view?... Or did he not care what people were taught as long as he was held in esteem and his kingdom over a multitude rebellion subdued?

Write a poem for contest The Truth Behind The Pagan Customs - Devota Dailey
I am looking for specific pagan customs. When some of the first to arrive in America did not have certain customs. Research it and then write a story or poem.
