					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Critics&quot;?

This type of behavior or conduct is not Godly character; it is becoming more prevelent in those whose responsibility it is to serve the people, and not the people&#039;s responsibility to serve them.
We can see this in all areas of society. 

Especially when it comes to a man-made so called holi-day; when man makes their own way of worship it&#039;s offensive to God - look at Cain and Abel Genesis 4.

Only God knows how we are to relate to Him; it would be a spectacle if some stranger were to come up to you and tell you that they are married to you: 

“23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ”
John 4:23-24 KJV


&quot;The worship of God does not consist in outward ceremonies, or the observance of man-made creeds. Said Christ, “In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.” [Matthew 15:9.] And again, “God is a spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” [John 4:24.]
Christ came to our world at a time when moral power was fast disappearing from among men. Genuine religion had become corrupted. In its place formality and legalism had reared the most rigid exactions. A round of superstitions and externals was made essential, while inward piety was, in a great measure, only a pretense. As the necessity for purity of heart was lost sight of, outward forms and ceremonies multiplied. Wickedness of every kind triumphed. The Bible was misapplied, and modelled to suit the ideas and imaginations of men. The cleansing of hands and cups and utensils was considered of more consequence than the purification of the soul. From age to age these maxims and traditions had been cherished; and with each succeeding age additional inventions had been received with credulity, thus closing the way for the presentation of righteousness and truth.
Christ came at a time when he was most needed to set before a perishing world the truth in its purity. He came to remove the mass of rubbish which had confused their spiritual understanding and perverted true worship, that the plan of salvation should not become buried under a mass of erroneous theories, a complication of maxims, falsehoods, and authoritative dogmas. He did not require submission to the assertions and theories of man’s invention. He firmly and continuously resisted the sayings which rabbis, priests, and rulers had woven into the framework of truth, declaring before the assembled multitudes: “Ye teach for doctrines the commandments of men; ye make void the law of God through your traditions.” [ 11LtMs, Ms 80, 1896, par. 1 - 11LtMs, Ms 80, 1896, par. 3]]></description>
