One problem is that Marlin, like many on this issue, does not discuss the matter. He simply states his position and lists all manner of links and the writings of others to make his case. The information he presents is full of holes, and when these problems were pointed out last year, there was little or no response. Now he presents the same old arguments all over again as if it has not already been discussed. He even presents the same Scriptures. If someone wants to discuss Christmas trees, that would be fine, but to just blast shotguns of information upon people who celebrate Christmas produces no good fruit as far as I can see. It seems to me that he just does not celebrate Christmas and has some kind of chip on his shoulder toward those who do. Maybe he is upset that Christmas is more celebrated in our culture than the Jewish moedim. This seems to be the same problem with those of us who give greater honor to observing the Lord's Day of resurrection rather than the Jewish Sabbath on Saturnday. :-) Peace be with you.
