What else can I help you with?
Did early christians celebrate Christmas?
yes . Some sects of Christianity have refused to celebrate Christmas as a special day, notably during the 'Commonwealth' in England in the 1650s. sorry, the answer is no, the modern santa clause myth originated with st. nicholas, a roman catholic monk who lived in the fourth century. read Ex.20;3-5, 1 Jn.5;21. sadly most sects have fallen into this sin.'' Idolarty''. few baptist have continued to stand for the truth
How might fleshly desires becomes a god?
when a person attributes to a fleshly desire greater might than they themselves have, or they surrender their will to this desire whether it be material or sexual in nature than this desire can become a god. In the bible book Philippians 3:18,19. Paul speaks of certain one that had left the faith in order to venerate false gods. It mentions that ones god can be their belly, meaning that gluttony, and perhaps even excessive drunkenness can lead to idolatry which is the worship of false gods. Paul also mentions here that seeking ones self glory can lead to shame and another form of idolarty--that of selfworship. see also 1 Tim 6:9 and Matthew 5:27&28
