Hello, Clinton. Thank you for your comment. As I read it now, Romans 14:5 comes to mind: “One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.”

For me, Valentine’s Day is another opportunity to express love to my husband, family, friends – and God. It is His love that compels me to have love for Him and others.

So in order to get to know the ONLY true God, surely then, anyone celebrating a holiday that stemmed from paganism is going against getting to know him, because one of his commandments was to NOT worship any other God. So when the original people worshiped it, it was pagan; ipso facto because the Church tried to Christianize the Romans didn’t change the origin of it.

If we’re looking for eternal life (however you translate that) surely one of things not to do is to go against God’s commandments and celebrate a pagan festival. Just my 2 cents, I’ll get off my soapbox now.
