Bible Question:
Limited protestant? Why some doctrine and traditions of catholic accepted by the protestant? Ex. Christmas. in first 330 years it was celebrated january 6. after 330 years of catholic religion, christmas date designated every 25 of december the very exact date of celebration of pagan god of rome satur "saturnilla" ---source catholic encyclopedia volume II page 607 Is there any apostle in the bible that celebrate the said events, is there any doctrine that give by the apostle that there is Christmas "the mass of Christ" and christian has to celebrate it or is this a truly invention of man: Ec 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Paul mentioned "that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, 1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. Also scripures is complete why source from traditions whic is not in the bible Isa 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. Ec 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. I would like to get the comments of the members of the forum. |
Bible Answer: Johnny Do not get hung up in legalism. What is Christmas today to a real Christian? Is it a Catholic mass? No! Is it a pagan feast? NO! Is it another day to spend money? No! It is a day set aside to celebrate the birth of our Savior upon this earth. Jesus laid down the riches and glory of heaven and stepped through the womb of a virgin into this world. That exact day is lost to us and we now celebrate the occasion on Dec 25th. We are celebrating the birth, of our Savior who set us free from sin, and Who has promised one day to return to take us home to be with Him. That is what we are celebrating and nothing else. I get worried when people start trying to find things that are wrong instead of fixing the things that are broken. To me if you have a problem with the day then your looking at the day and not the Man. EdB |
