		<description><![CDATA[Christian relativism--ethical truths based on &#039;traditions of men&#039;?  The moral rectitude of Bible teachings is undermined by such comments as, &quot;Christmas isn&#039;t really a Bible &#039;truth&#039;--but WHAT&#039;S THE HARM?&quot;  Traditions of men--Western culture--not Biblical &#039;truth&#039;--but WHAT&#039;S THE HARM?  Now, is Christ&#039;s BIRTH the &#039;cornerstone of our Christian theology&#039;--or is it not Christ&#039;s &quot;death, burial and resurrection from the dead&quot; the &#039;cornerstone&#039; of our Christian theology?  Isn&#039;t this an example where Christian relativism has legitimized the celebration of Christ&#039;s birth stating as &#039;truth&#039; that the Christmas celebration is really the cornerstone of the foundation of our salvation?  What?  Every theologian knows Christmas is full of &#039;myths&#039;--making Christmas and its celebration a total distortion of the Truth--in fact, even an affront to the Cross!

Christian relativisim has come down to us through these &#039;traditions of men&#039;--&quot;My Daddy&#039;s daddy did it that way.  It was good enough for him, so it&#039;s good enough for me.&quot;-- So why do you add relativism to the scriptures--making Dec. 25th Christ&#039;s birthday--for what purpose?  And just because we&#039;ve always done it that way....why slander those who don&#039;t celebrate any &quot;tradition of men&quot;?  Traditions change--they come and they go.  Wanting Christ out of Christmas seems to be a very good idea...doing away with Traditions of Men is GOOD, isn&#039;t it--if Christian relativism is the opposite of Christian absoluteness.  Or have we adapted Pilot&#039;s statement:  &quot;Truth, what is truth?&quot;  Should we be bothered that &#039;absolute truth&#039; isn&#039;t essential to celebrating Christ&#039;s birth?  Have Theologians become a bunch of Christian Spin Doctors?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello Dr. Galloza.. I really liked your post about Christmas. I shared about the &quot;Christmas frenzy&quot; myself here: http://godsdragon.wordpress.com/2011/12/17/the-christmas-frenzy/ (Ed Fernandez blog)...I can explain my nickname if you&#039;d like, I know it is a distasteful nickname to some fellow Christians...

I too share in the frustrations and challenges that Christians face in the light of the commercialization and putting down of probably the most important event happening in our planet some 2000 years ago.
Have a very Merry Christmas in the company of your loved ones!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GREAT POST.  PLEASE POST MORE OFTEN!

The warnings of Paul are being played out before our eyes.  False doctrines wrapped in thin veneers of theology (prosperity Gospel, social Gospel, name it and claim it, environmental Gospel) are all Satan&#039;s clever distractions in the End Days to substitute the Word of God in the Bible with cotton candy poison.  Go into any Christian bookstore and the Bible are in the back; in the front? Shelves of books by so called&quot;preachers&quot; and teachers&quot; that are nothing more than rehashes of Dr. Peales Power of Positive Thinking...Americans need a soft message so that they can go on sinning and falsely believing they are saved...I wont name names but we all know who these men and women &quot;of God&quot; are who peddle these false teachings...something has to be done to pay for the mmulti-million dollare churches and lifestyles don&#039;t you know!  It is too bad that Truth Tellers like David Wilkerson have left us.  Hopefully others will raise the hue and cry so that so many who are led astray will be brought back before its too late.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a blessing to have God&#039;s Word in our hands, unchanged for thousands of years. This is a miracle  we can hold and read, written by God. Commentaries are wonderful, but don&#039;t forget, we have our Holy Spirit  to guide and teach us as we read God&#039;s Word. Just ask :) Thank you Lord!]]></description>

This is like leaning in a wall having a solid foundation.
