Counterfeit of Light? 1 Corinthians 10:20-22  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 4:26 PM Subject: [TruthTalk] MEDIA ALERT If Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Christ, if Christmas is not Christian, WHY OH WHY ARE ATHEISTS AND MARLIN AGAINST CHRISTMAS? DATE: December 20, 2002 FROM: Jerry Falwell MEDIA ALERT On Christmas night (Wednesday, December 25), I hope you will tune into CNN's "Crossfire" as I defend the display of Nativity Scenes and the Ten Commandments in the public square. I will be debating with Barry Lynn, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an organization that habitually opposes even the most benign expressions of public faith. I will be calling for an end to the growing hostility toward people of faith in our nation. "Crossfire" is co-hosted by conservative Robert Novak and former Clinton crony Paul Begala. Join us Christmas night on CNN at 7:30 p.m. (ET) for this important debate.
