Bible Note: Hello kitty w, Frankly, I do not agree with your commentary on the "roots or origin of Christmas" being traced to pagan Rome". Is that the Watchtower version of Church History to which you refer? Regardless, here's what I know: We celebrate the birth of Christ as the miracle of the Incarnation- of God becoming united with mankind, as prophesied in Is. 7:14. Fulfilled in John 1:14, The Lord Christ is truly God with us. That is CHRISTmas! Without His birth, we could not have had a Saviour- fully God and fully man to redeem us! Then, we celebrate His death at Easter. 1 Cor. 15:3-4 tells us, "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (NASB) Yes, we celebrate the birth and death of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ! So, both are important to observe to those that are "in Christ" and truly believe upon Him. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
