If Christmas and Easter are re-hashed pagan holidays . . .?

brought into the believing fold of Yeshua by the Roman church and if one claims to be a Christian (a follower of Messiah/Christ) why support it and worship Him in ways that are strictly forbidden in Deuteronomy 12:4?

(2). Do you believe it is an acceptable form of worship to the LORD?

I only want insightful answers (meaning check the Bible first) please.

Thanks for the answers.

Update:

Just lookin what's your point?

    "Insightful answers" means checking the Bible first?

    "Insightful answers" means only speaking if an ancient book agrees with you, instead of thinking and speaking for yourself?

    Does not compute.

    Your assumption is false. I've checked the historical records (not Google) and established that Christmas and Easter are not rehashed pagan holidays, they are Christian holidays celebrating the great events of the life of Christ as told in the Bible - his birth, his death and his resurrection. I've checked my bible and everything we do in Church is related to those accounts.

    So yes, it is acceptable to the Lord to commemorate his life and his great works.

    Can I suggest that, for a truly insightful answer, you check the true historical record as well as the Bible.

    But the original Jewish holidays are 'reahashed' Pagan and God explicitly says so...You just haven't read the Bible. All 3 major Jewish feasts already existed.!!!

    The Fact is Trinity contradicts the 4 Canonical Gospels. There are some verses that are "evidence" of its support. Think about it if it contradicts and supports then it contradicts itself meaning....?

    Truth is the "evidence" of Trinity in the Gospels is taken as literal even tough Christians admit Jesus (as) speech was mainly in riddles and parables, what he said does not have to be literal. This leaves them open to false interpretation

    Example "Father and I are one." Christians see it as "evidence"

    But in John 17:21 the "evidence" is completly destroyed.

    John 17:21

    That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

    Now then that means God is 14 Parts if the verse is literal? Disciples + Trinity? No what Jesus meant is that the message of God is his message and prayed it would be the disciples too

    Trinity contradicts Gospels

    Mark 12:29-30

    Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord OUR God, the Lord is one. NKJV

    Notice that Jesus calls GOD the LORD not himself! And OUR GOD meaning God is the God of Jesus not himself!

    If Jesus was GOD, then why did he ask for GOD's Forgiveness in Luke 23:34

    Mathew 23:9

    And call no {man} your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven..

    Mathew 23:10

    Neither be ye called teachers: for one is your teacher, The Christ

    John 5:30

    By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

    John 14:28

    For the Father is greater than I
