Pastor Chojecki's Christmas tree.

Several people on this blog have provided a link to this video:

Since the man who calls himself a pastor has pigeonholed people like us as: hecklers and legalists, there is nothing left to do but respond to this attack, especially since he himself is directing the film at those conventionally speaking "legalists".

From the beginning. On the video board, we see two highlighted slogans:

1. Christmas tree haters
2. Absurdities of legalists.

 

This is psychomanipulation because the truth defends itself. It does not need to be reinforced with pejorative terms put into the minds of those who do not know God's Word. Just as Chojecki once surrounded himself with inscriptions: "pastor" as if this was supposed to strengthen the perception of him as a pastor. By the way, how can I be sure that he is not trained in such techniques...

Now for a change, we should create a video with two subtitles:

 

1. A self-proclaimed pastor and his Christmas tree.
2. The nonsense of lukewarmness.

Would that be fair?

I don't think the term hecklers would ever come out of the mouths of the apostles. How do I know this? Firstly, the apostles shunned the world, and this slogan is strictly from the world, and secondly, they would not use a term marked by manipulation. Mr Niesiołowski called all the opposing interlocutors as hecklers. This is such a cornering.

Mr. Chojecki's statement is strong evidence of arbitrary interpretation of Scripture. He cites this quotation:

 

"What therefore concerns the eating of meat, sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no idol in the world, and that there is no other god but the One." 1 Corinthians 8.

 

This verse says that we Christians have one God, but that does not mean that there were not and are not other gods. Example:

 

" Now I confess that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for thus he has punished those who boast of them.

Exodus 18:11″

As we can see there are self-appointed gods.

If there are no other gods, why does the commandment read: you shall have no other gods before me?

 

You shall have no other gods before me. Ex 20.3

 

I value Chojecki for his historical and political knowledge, but when it comes to knowledge of the Bible, he is at the beginning stages of learning it. The very fact that he believed that Jesus would walk with a real sword in the end times shows a lack of elementary knowledge. The average Bible reader knows that Jesus will not fight the antichrist with swords like in a sci-fi movie, but:

For the mystery of ungodliness is already at work. Let only him who now holds back give way, 8 then the Wicked One will appear, whom the Lord Jesus will extinguish with the breath of his mouth and will destroy [by the very] revelation of his coming

 

 

Of course, here full agreement, the Christmas tree is not an idol in itself, but it is an element of idol worship. It is not a Christian custom. Chojecki will not find in the Bible a verse concerning the ritual of celebrating December 24th with a Christmas tree. Instead, we will find the source of the Christmas tree celebration in books and texts around Christianity.

Another example of Chojecki's faulty reasoning can be seen when he calls some famous footballer an idol. Of course he is not really a god, but anyone who stands above God is an idol for the fans. This is so called idolatry. I don't want to believe that Chojecki doesn't know about it. All in all, fallen angels and gods are behind a football player, and until recently the world cup was Nike. Who is Nike? The goddess of victory, that is, a fallen angel.

 

 

Chojecki says:

 

"you zealous believers have caved."

 

Or maybe Mr. Chojecki has less knowledge?

 

Chojecki's teachings contradict the Bible. I'm not saying all of them, because I don't watch videos from that channel. However, a Christian shown with a gun is reduced to just a member of ISIS. They fight with a sword and a gun, but we fight with the Word of God.

 

In Thessalonians it is written:

 

"Avoid everything that has even if only appearance of evil 1Tes 5.22″

Chojecki, on the other hand, says:

 "there are morally indifferent things."

Agreed. However, using on a particular day, a particular object typical of Satanism is a violation of the commandment.

The apostles said:

(4) Believers, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity against God? So if anyone wants to be a friend of the world, he becomes an enemy of God. As 4

 

The world celebrates the famous merry christmas and Chojecki wants us to be like the world. I hope he is just a lukewarm Christian and not more than that, because he is a man of great intelligence, which has an impact on the audience.

 

Beware of Mr. Chojecki if only for the sake of cognition. Blind trust leads to darkness.

 

It further quotes Corinthians:

 

"so whatever they sell in the butcher's shop, eat, without inquiring into anything - for the peace of your conscience" (1 Cor. 10:25,"

Alfred Palla explains the heavy verse:

 

If we take the Bible seriously, then we must recognize that the principle of "inquire into nothing - for the peace of your conscience" also applies to today's common situation - often cited by enemies of the Bible diet - of eating a meal at a stranger's home. But if this principle is correct, it seems to directly reconcile the views of the proponents of the biblical diet.

Incompatible with the biblical context

But let's return to the texts in question, 1 Corinthians 10:25 and 27. I said above that they are strange because they are inconsistent with common sense. But they are also strange for much more important reasons; after all, common sense is a human way of thinking that must be subordinated to God's rules.

The principle "whatever they sell in the butcher's shop, eat it without asking anything - for the peace of your conscience" and the closely related second principle "if a non-believer invites you and you agree to come, eat whatever they give you without asking anything - for the peace of your conscience" are inconsistent with the so-called closer and further biblical context. For the Bible, it seems, forbids the eating of meat from sacrifices offered to idols. Let us read two New Testament texts from the Revelation of St. John: "But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast there some that hold to the doctrine of Balaam, who instructed Balak, how to instigate the children of Israel to sin by eating sacrifices offered to idols and practicing debauchery" (Rev. 2:14); "but I have against you that you allow the woman Jezebel to act, who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my servants to practice debauchery and consumed sacrifices to idols" (Rev. 2:20).

These are the words of Jesus Himself! They make it unmistakably clear that the eating of sacrifices to idols is a sin that we must avoid. Of course, these words probably should not be taken literally: eating sacrifices to idols would only be a symbol of other sins. The question is not important here, because it is clear that the symbol of sin in the Bible cannot be something impeccable and pure. For example, fornication is a symbol of departure from the true faith, but fornication itself, taken literally, also deserves condemnation.

He says ironically:

is a spaghetti cult, then don't eat spaghetti.

 

Logical fallacy. Flour is primordial and is a common ingredient in many foods. However, making spagethi out of it for religious purposes on a particular day with the followers of that cult is a sin. So are groves and heights or steles. Groves in themselves are not bad, nor are heights, but making a form of worship out of it is. Someone had to make the groves, and someone had to make the heights.

Likewise with paintings. A landscape painting is not a bad thing. Its frames are usually made of wood. However, a painting made of wood with an image of a false idol is evil. The example with spaghetti by Chojecki's logic shows us: don't make any paintings because it is a sin.

I have paintings from the seaside at home. are they a form of worship? no. Do I do something on a particular day, season, like thousands, millions of other worshipers? no.

If I have a Christmas tree decorated with snakes in my house with a 5-pointed star on top then when all Catholics and other deviant religions celebrate the Roman Sol In victus is it a sin? Yes.

 

 

Finally, about the alleged zealotry:

 

" And so, since you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I have you out of my mouth. (17)For you say, "I am rich," and "I have become rich," and "I need nothing," and you do not know that it is you who are wretched and worthy of pity, and poor, and blind, and naked. (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified in the fire, that thou mayest be enriched, and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that thy shameful nakedness be not seen, and balm to anoint thy eyes, that thou mayest see. (19) I chastise and educate all whom I love. So be zealous and repent."

 

Choose for yourself: zeal or lukewarmness.

Do what you want.
