1 | XMAS RELIGION OR MAN MADE | Luke 2:13 | Hank | 61668 | ||
LUVONJESUS: By the wording of your question I infer that you know the "real reason we shouldn't celebrate Christmas..." What you are asking is why don't most ministers discuss this "real reason" with ther flocks. Well, since I don't know what the "real reason" is that we shouldn't celebrate Christmas, and don't necessarily categorize Christmas as being altogether secular, I don't have a clue about how to answer your question in any meaningful way. Suppose you tell us what your concept is of "the real reason we shouldn't celebrate Christmas." Perhaps that will help some of us on the forum to communicate with you better and speak to your question more specifically. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! I really don't say this to poke fun at anyone who holds a different position than I, but I have never understood this whole 'secular holiday' argument. Does Scripture say anywhere that we are forbidden to celebrate secular holidays? Should we not celebrate the 4th of July? How about Mother's Day? How about Birthdays? There simply isn't any verse in the Bible which says we "CANNOT" celebrate a secular holiday. Further, as you have already alluded to, Christmas is more than just a secular holiday - at least for many! It seems to me that people are simply drawn to conspiracy theories. The line of reasoning usually seems to be: 1) The holiday had mixed beginnings. It was celebrated on the same day as such and such. 2) Therefore, it is pagan and/or secular and is evil. To me, taking a pagan holiday, and co-opting it and trasforming its meaning would be a good thing! :-) Well, I have to go! Blessings my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
