1 | Jesus Christ your Lord? | Luke 22:19 | justme | 238782 | ||
I praise God for His Son Jesus Christ. Today we may celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ and rightfully so. But in reality the Most wonderful day is the day Jesus Christ arose from the grave. We have a LORD who conquered death so we can live with Him forever in a home He has prepared for us. I pray all of you have surrendered to Jesus Christ and have asked Jesus to forgive your sins, and made the choice to become a follower of Jesus Christ. God bless each of you! And a very blessed Christmas. Justme |

2 | Jesus Christ your Lord? | Luke 22:19 | Source:Bible | 238783 | ||
Luke 22:19 does say how Jesus instituted the new covenant and told his disciples to keep doing that observance in remembrance of him. However I often wonder why Jesus birth is not recorded specifically in the Bible and with that being the case why is it celebrated when Jesus did not ask us to? | ||||||
3 | Jesus Christ your Lord? | Luke 22:19 | DocTrinsograce | 238786 | ||
Hi, Source... The specific time of Christ's birth is provided by Luke in chapter 2:1-6. We do not deem any day is more halloed than another. However, we do not fault others who may do so by the dictates of their own conscience (Romans 14:5-6; Colossians 2:16-17). Not doing so is an explicit command, by the way. We live in a cultural and historical context, as did all those in the Scriptures. Not all of our practices are based on explicit commands, nor do we proscribe everything that lacks an explicit command. That sort of approach fails logically, but -- what is worse -- is a mechanism that is a slippery slope for the fallen human heart (Deuteronomy 4:2). In Him, Doc |

4 | Jesus Christ your Lord? | Luke 22:19 | Source:Bible | 238788 | ||
Hi, the reason that I asked the question is due to the fact that through research we find that the month of December is Tebeth on the Jewish calendar with maximum cold and rain. Luke 2:8 says that the "shepherds lived outdoors with their flock during the time of Jesus birth" this is recorded in the Bible. Can it be consider logical in fact that shepherds would live outdoors with their precious flock during this time? However a specific date is celebrated: December 25 the same day historically that "dies natalis Solis Invicti is celebrated (birthday of the invisible sun a pagan god). In reference to Romans 14:5,6 is choosing this day really a choice approved? Did not Jesus himself scold the religious leaders of his time for similar actions Matthew 15:3. Deuteronomy 4:2. Who is adding to it, the one who chooses to create and celebrate a religious observance created from untruthful originality and personal preference or one that does not but chooses to commemorate the one observance commanded to be observed by Christ. | ||||||
5 | Jesus Christ your Lord? | Luke 22:19 | EdB | 238792 | ||
The question must be asked what is being celebrated on Dec 25? Is it a pagan god? or is it the birth of of our Savior and Lord? Each of us were born on some date. I would guess if we followed history back far enough we could find something bad that happened on that date. So does that mean when we celebrate our birthday we are actually celebrating that bad event? No! of course not. So why even go there? |
