If you've ever had the fun of have a discussion with a COGbot member about whether it's ok or not to celebrate Easter and Christmas. Then you know it can be a heated discussion. Church of God members, under the teaching of the dead Ahnsahnghong and the control of Korean-ONLY spoken Mother Jerusalem, feel that because it's not listed in the bible and a commanded celebration and that the origins dirive from pagan celebrations that its not going to please God.
Many, if not the vast majority, of mainstream Christians feel that these man made celebrations are indeed ok, since we personally celebrate them for our Lord and Savior. It's not about the roots that matter, as it's about what's in our hearts that drives our desire to celebrate them. I think we'd all agree that if your only celebrating Christmas for the presents and not for the sake of recognizing Jesus Christs Birthday, then it's for the wrong reason and could indeed be a pagan ritual. (Yes, we are all aware that Dec 25th is most likely not the actual day that Jesus was born...)
With that said, I'm currious as to where in the bible these celebrations are? Did I miss the scripture that commanded us to dress as a clown?

Heres another post to your mislead line of reasoning.. first the celebrations concerning Christmas Easter like the cross are all things that the christian church keeps as a regular celebration. They keep these celebrations yearly and say it is apart of there religion.. That is why it is wrong. here again shows your ignorance and useless ranting.. the pictures you should of the COG are not regularly 'kept' celebrations but celebrations which are not apart of the doctrine or beliefs something that is not manditory to all members. That is the difference their not related to the doctrine like christians hold christmas as part of their belief that is where is becomes wrong because anything related to our religion should be from the bible! so before you rant do your homework! For some people ignorance is not bliss but a demeaning and embarrasing i.e Cognator..
