1 | Christmas | Jer 10:1 | Morant61 | 107064 | ||
Greetings Aixen7z4! I prefer to climb trees on Tuesdays, since that is my day off! As far as the choice to celebrate Christmas or not goes, I have no problem with your decision not to celebrate it. The only problem I have is with those who condemn me for celebrating - when there is no explict prohibition in Scripture against doing so! I can't speak for others, but I don't view Christmas as a sacrament. :-) It is just a holiday! It may be sacrilige, but I even celebrate the Thanksgiving as well! :-) My practice is simple. If I am commanded to do something in Scripture, I try to do it. If I am commanded in Scripture not to do something, then I try not to do it. In everything else, I try to use Scripture principles and common sense. I know of no Scriptural principle which would indicate that Christ would be upset at me celebrating His birth. Nor, do I know of any common sense reason not to do so. So, until someone can produce a Scriptural reason not to celebrate Christmas, I will continue to do so. If you choose not to, that is your right. But, don't pretend that those who don't agree with you on this issue are somehow less spiritual or less Scriptural. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Christmas | Jer 10:1 | justme | 107122 | ||
Morant61: Merry Christmas Tim! I agree with you and you state the reasons quite well. The celebration of "easter" is my pet peive! As Christians I want nothing to do with "estar" the supposedly godess of fertility. The celebration is "Resurrection Sunday" and is the celebration of the Lord Jesus Christ being resurrected. That's my idea of a pagen working it's way into Christ's Lordship. Any Thoughts? Blesings. justme |

Greetings Justme! Just like with Christmas, I don't really care what someone may have done thousands of years ago! All that matters to me is what it means to me. I celebrate the Lord's birth on Christmas, and I celebrate the Lord's resurrection on Easter. I really don't think that the name means much of anything, all that matters is what I do! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
