1 | Is Christmas and 25th Dec. biblical? | Bible general Archive 3 | Aspiring Overseer | 181132 | ||
Kalos, Your assertion is quite interesting and made me ponder this new insight with respect to the Apostle Paul's wanderings through Athens in Acts 17:23. Maybe Paul's reason for being there was not to take advantage of an opportunity to teach Gentiles, but to actually do some sight-seeing among their objects of pagan worship? On further consideration, however, I think it is more reasonable to believe Jesus, as well as, Paul, went to where they could preach to the greatest number seeking to serve God. It would be a stretch to assert either one desired to promote pagan observances. AO |

Where did I say that Jesus "desired to promote pagan observances"? To claim that was my point, now that, my friend, is a stretch. As far as I'm concerned Christmas is a non-issue. 1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters...4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. Romans 14:1, 4-6a NIV |
