Summary
This treatise prepares FHMI members to answer the two verses most often used to defend pagan festivals. It argues Romans 14:5 concerns disputes over which days to fast, not holy days, and Colossians 2:16 defends believers judged by pagan ascetics for keeping Yahweh's calendar, with the italicized 'is' removed so only 'the body of Christ' may judge. It sets out FHMI's rejection of Christmas, Easter, Lent, Halloween and similar days, with quick responses and an early-church appendix.
