Might be helpful to hit reply when speaking to someone... I'm guessing here that your comment were not for me?I am thoroughly surprised by your supposed knowledge of Druid practices.
Since they were wiped out by the Romans and no records of their practices have ever been found,
how did you manage to know so much about them?
I'll report the problem.I did hit reply, it was for Bro Tan.
Yes please.I'll report the problem.

Do you keep God’s appointed times? To the pure all things are pure, Titus 1:15.
No living person has any notion of Druid practices,they left no records.I don't know so much about them, I understand what I quoted...their god and goddess. I see they practices every year Dec 25th
You don't celebrate non-biblical days, do keep the biblical days?Not sure what you mean.
Mine was a general comment. I did not use reply.Yes please.
Your reply #61 was addressed to whom?
Actually I took it as a general comment, but then again, I have yet to have my morning shot of caffeine, so.....

There are pagans who make them up as they go along and claim they are Druidic.
And there are misinformed Christians who claim that all sorts of harmless things are pagan.
You don't celebrate non-biblical days, do keep the biblical days?
Yeah. God didn't accept the Hebrews' observances of the Torah feasts/assemblies/offerings because their neglect of justice and righteousness made those observances irrelevant. I don't really see why you're posting that here.
See post 27.
Before all that, they were just parts of God's creation, which He made good. Did pagan people somehow find the power to forever corrupt what God made good?
These things are just decorations. They don't have any meaning anymore beyond that. Their origins don't matter, except that originally, God made them all good.
You have a scripture to share that explicitly states that Christmas and Easter are sin in the sight of God?
I see you have posted Scripture, but nothing that covers Christian worship being sin, and as you say it doesn't matter what you think, it is what God says................waiting, waiting, waiting.
Yes sir!
Unfortunately there are a lot of people like that; its really sad.It has always amazed me how people can twist and add to the Word of God to make it say what THEY want it to say instead of just believing what it does say.
That's exactly what I'm telling you, bro. What God has made good, and has seen fit to use for His good work, we have no business calling sin.
Going back to the example of Joseph:
Genesis 50:20
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
I've done my homework. I've read the history. Maybe you can trace the history of the use of God's creation for pagan practices. But I've also done this homework and read this history: Genesis 1. God declared his creation good, man. That's of God. Believing that created things are anything other than created things? That is of man. Who took branch cuttings, and logs, and mistletoe and declared them to be ways to worship false gods? Was it God or man who did that? And will we now follow the teachings of men and believe their declaration, or should we instead follow the teaching of God, who called his creation good?
Maybe at one time, temporarily, people tried to use God's creation to "think evil against Him," but now, "God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." I challenge you next Christmas to go to where God's work is being done on Christmas, and simply observe the ways the Spirit has seen fit to use it for God's good work. I don't know about you, but I am extremely uncomfortable taking something that the Spirit has obviously chosen for "good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive," and label it "sin" because men once planned it for evil.
