Happy Father's Day?

a tradition rooted in pagan practices

In America today, many are participating in this holiday called "Father's Day". A day in which one's biological dad is to be exalted and worshipped for one day. This is a man-made pagan tradition. 

According to Merriam-Webster, the term "man-made" is used as an adjective, meaning it's manufactured, created, or constructed by human beings. A "pagan" as a noun is described as a heathen {a heathen as an adjective: (1) of or relating to people or nations that do not acknowledge the God of the bible. (2) STRANGE, UNCIVILIZED} A pagan is one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods: an irrelegious or hedonistic person. 

----- I could not find celebrating Father's Day ANYWHERE in the bible but I did however come across this verse "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." ~Matthew 23:9"...Father's Day is not biblical just like how Mother's Day isn't biblical (you can check that out here) The origin of idolatry and worshipping objects started with Nimrod during the times of Genesis. Then it was carried on by the pagan SUN worshipper Constatine. Hence why both Mother and Father's Day ALWAYS fall on a SUNday. The pagan emporer Constatine demanded that all worship be held on SUNday to honor his diety which is the sun...(Which also raises an eyebrow as to why people today are going to SUNday "church", worshipping the Lord in vain) "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." ~Matthew 15:8-9 

----- I never cared for this specific holiday since I didn't have any male figures in my life but now, knowing the truth of it all, I'm glad I never took part in the pagan ways. Like Jesus said, we only have but ONE true Father, which is in heaven. So in honor of debunking this man made holiday, I want to give glory, thanks, honor and praise to my heavenly Father who has redeemed me and changed me from the inside out and adopted me into Christ so that I may have the hope of eternal life. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." ~James 1:27 "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation." ~Psalms 68:5 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." ~Ephesians 1:3-6...The Lord thy God has really done a lot for me and the love that he has bestowed upon me in just 3 months into my walk in Christ outweighs any type of carnal, wordly love that any family member or 'friend' or even 'fan' for that matter has ever given me which is so amazing and miraculous to me. He is just so devine and infinite and for him to give me mercy and grace really warms my heart, especially when I'm not even worthy of it at all. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." ~Romans 3:23-26

----- I personally believe that if this holiday is to be given any acknowledgement at all, it should be given to God who is the creator of all things, not another human being who has no divinity in himself. Yes, biologically he maybe your dad and with his seed, made you physically but God planned it all. He made you, your dad, your dad's dad and so on and so forth, so all the praise and thanks should be directed back to him, PERIOD! "In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." ~Genesis 1:1-2 "Thus saith the LORD, 'The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been', saith the LORD:'but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.'" ~Isaiah 66:1-2 "Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created." ~Psalms 148:1-5 "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." ~1 Corinthians 8:5-6  

----- If you claim Christ, or if you want to truly be in Christ, you MUST REPENT from celebrating this man made pagan holiday all of the others such as Christmas, Easter, Memorial Day, Valentines Day and Birthdays etc...And if you don't you are indeed worshipping the Lord in vain. "'No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.'" ~Matthew 6:24 "'And why do you call ye me, Lord, Lord,and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth: against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.'" ~Luke 6:46-49 "When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abaominations of those nations." ~Deuteronomy 18:9 "Thus saith the LORD,'Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.'" ~Jeremiah 10:2...It's so many who claim Christ and call him Lord here in America and I hear the name Jesus and God coming out of the mouths of people almost every single day but yet they refuse to hear and do his commandments. I have no knowledge of what ones fate is but I can agree that "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" ~Hebrews 10:31...Please come out of those false ways. We must walk in biblical spirit and truth. "'Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters' saith the LORD Almighty." ~2 Corinthians 6 "'God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.'" ~John 4:24 
This is so serious and what's sad and very unfortunate is that many professed believers will not listen but rather continue to practice in these false, man-made pagan rituals just to please their flesh..That's not pleasing God in spirit and truth but rather compromise and if you're in Christ, there is to be no compromission. It's either you're in the world or you're in Christ... "'I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.'" ~Revelation 3:15-16 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." ~James 4:4...Which will you chose, God or the world?
