My reply: Do you find it acceptable that the governing body has ignored Paul's direct counsel in Romans 14 not to judge others on the observances of days?

do you find it acceptable that a religious leader would give a seemingly christian meaning to events and symbols whose roots go back to ancient paganism?

Yet at the same time they promote the use of Wedding Rings, which are of Pagan origin.
Let's add Baal worship to the mix. That is what they do when they throw their innocent children into the fire through abstention of blood when killing the innocent to please God never came up into God's mind. He never ordered it then, and He's not demanding it now.
It is the belief that all the supernatural creatures in the Bible (God, angels, demons,ect) don't exist.
No wonder you're seeing demons; you're anti-Christ. You opened the door right up. As long as you believe this drivel you have no hope. That's the way it is. You will only have bad ahead of you in your life. It will only get worse, maybe not right away, but unless you snap out of this idiocy you are stepping into a mine field.Don't delude yourself, and don't fall for the nonsense other atheists spew on this site. The devil came along and snatched away the Word.

scriptural support for the triune nature of god, and the gradual recognition that jesus christ, the word incarnate (john 1:1), was and is god, can be found throughout the bible.
the evidence is abundant and unfolds like a flower, foreshadowed in the old testament and revealed in the new testament.

Here's another reason:
Prior to His incarnation Christ subsisted in the form (morphe) of God - (Philippians 2:6)

The heavenly resurrected Jesus is identified in the Book of Revelation as Almighty God and the “First and the Last” because there can be only one “First and Last” and one “Alpha and Omega” and Jesus assumed both titles.
