VEILS

I was amazed this week by this incident that happen to me. There was this situation where a person was asking for input regarding a given Christian holiday that in reality is a pagan holiday.

I'm speaking of Easter. It is a well known by anyone that has studied history to have its origins in pagan religions.

And this person seemed to know the basics. So as requested I provided the facts. How it has nothing to do with the crucifixion of our Lord or his resurrection. That took place at Passover, a holiday set aside by God.

What was funny was how this person thank me for my contribution and also applauded it as the truth. So it meant from my point of view that he knew what was saying was correct.

Well, I felt I had done what God had wanted me to do. I told this person the truth. I know I did my part to be sure he was provided with facts.

And for a while I assumed my labor was going to bear the right fruit. Namely to help a soul be guided into worshipping God in true and not by following some false tradition.

In the end this person retreated to tradition. Preferring to wear the veil of everybody else does it to seeing clearly.

I do respect this person's right to make whatever choice works for him? What is said is how this man will never understand how God truly does hold us accountable for what we know.

If you participate in a false tradition that god does not honor out of ignorance, he understands for the heart is in the right place. But if you learn the truth and still choose to embrace the lie, does God look at that the same?

Not from my view. I think obedience is very important to God. He will hold us accountable for being obedient to his truth.

Some prefer that old veil. It doesn't matter that it is a deception and doesn't actually honor God.

They will keep wearing it no matter how long it takes or how badly it fits. Nor do they remotely consider how they will explain such a choice to the Lord when the time comes.

As for me, well I'm just happy to embrace what I know is pleasing to God. There are times when one has to pay a price for following the Lord by his will and not false traditions.
Pity so many love their veils of traditions to the truth.
