    A lot of people pounced on that verse. It is more pertinent to those that argue that we should not have special days at all. Is there anything blatantly pagan about Christmas if it lacks all the worldly customs?
  3. CreationIsBeautiful
    This is true. I never get straight answers to this question because people point to those who call themselves Christians that practice the worldly aspects of the season. You have people (not many) that do not give gifts, decorate, erect trees, or any of that stuff. However, they like to sing the hymns about Christ's birth, read the story of Jesus, and go sing for the old and sick. They have recognized the day, but do not engage in any of the things that people are condemning. Do I tell this person to stop because Christmas has pagan roots? "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." -Romans 14:5

    Well, there is this . . .

    No, its the latest!

    Yes, that was a bit over-the-top. Many people that celebrate Christmas do not include Santa Claus in their traditions.

    I once attended a church that chose not to celebrate Christmas due to the pagan roots of the tradition. So I am well-versed in how Christmas festivities have pagan roots and the scriptures that tell us to put away such things. However, I know sincere Christians that do practice Christmas. Do you believe it is wrong for Christians to celebrate Christmas? Does the dynamic change if Christmas is kept Christ-centric?

    At no point in that post did he say that he does not work a job. I do agree with one aspect of what you said though. If he worked on being independent, not only would he be better prepared for marriage but who he marries would be his decision. However, I sense that he desires his parent's blessing.

    I feel like 90% or more of that is my life story, but I have never been diagnosed with anything.

    Now that this thread is open to commoners, I will say my piece. You belittled this man for living with his parents. You assumed he did not work a job. You assumed he had no plan to move out before getting married. Finally, you did not address his concern. Your response was unkind and lacked grace.

    I am not far behind you and I’m not married. Mostly due to social anxiety, missed opportunities, and investing several years in an unrealistic relationship. I still live with my parents, but it is not like the stereotype. We have mutual agreements, I help them out, I work a job, and I do not cause them drama. However, your situation appears to be causing strife with your parents. I would pray that God opens the door for you to live independently which would likely help you gain the maturity that you desire.

    From my experience, the majority of mainstream evangelical Christians in the United States would either encourage military service or be honored if their child decided to join. People that are against military service have very little friends in the U.S.
