Am I the only one who's found that a lot of Protestants who are against the Apostolic churches because they see them as some man-made institution, are really just anti-White racists? They act as though European Paganism is entirely the work of the devil, and that the Christianisation of Pagan holidays (Samhain, Yule, etc.) and customs was an evil thing that needs to be reversed.

I don't know, it just screams to me as hating our White European ancestors, pretty gay really.

In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul describes meat that had been literally, knowingly offered to idols. That's much more extreme than Christmas etc., where the most that can be claimed is that it bears some resemblance to long-forgotten pagan traditions - but Paul doesn't condemn eating that meat.

As with Paul's meat situation, I wouldn't knowingly invite a brother over for Christmas who believes the whole thing is inherently pagan and sinful - which of us is right about this isn't what's important.

It's understandable to be concerned about monolithic church hierarchy and/or reject it out of principle. The New Testament believers had nothing resembling a denominational structure; each assembly had their own bishops, elders, and deacons, but there was no multi-church "management team". Paul spent a lot of time writing to churches that were having problems, but he clearly wasn't their boss - he couldn't fire the pastor or anything like you'd see with the multi-church denominations of today.
