Quote From: ramair Worship on the first day of the week didn't originate with Constantine. It originated in the New Testament. As a command. Gathering together. Bringing tithes and offerings. Other than that, I whole-heartedly agree with you. The incorporation of unscriptural beliefs and practices, many of them pagan based, into the "church" did orginate with Constantiner.
I'm not too keen about arguing about biblical practices and then insisting upon ruining everyone else's fun. I agree that trees and holly and what not is't strictly Christian per se--but it's a lot of fun. So is Santa Claus and gifts and a really good dinner.
How does that quote go that I am thinking of? "Whenever four or more of you are gathered . . ." I can't recall the the rest
