Know Jah

That is a challenge Luke 9:23 - it goes against our sinful nature. Yet we can choose to do so.

If I can try to clarify. 1 Peter 2:21 states Jesus left a model for his followers, therefore as Christians we try to do what Jesus would do. My assessment is I don't think Jesus would celebrate a holiday that's rooted in Pagan and not his birthday anyway. I think if he wanted us to celebrate it, we would have some indication in the bible. Actually the only birthdays in the word is of non believers. True there are those that "claim" to believe yet their actions speaks different. James 2:19 states even the demons believe??

Agree everyone must make their own decision regarding Christmas, however we must be honest also. Christian means a follower of Christ.

The Encyclopedia of Religion and War states: “The earliest followers of Jesus rejected war and military service,” recognizing those practices as “incompatible with the love ethic of Jesus and the injunction to love one’s enemies.” Likewise, German theologian Peter Meinhold said of those early disciples of Jesus: “Being a Christian and a soldier was considered irreconcilable.”

I beg to differ, based on what he told Peter when he cut off the ear as well as the history of the early Christians who didn't engage in war.

That's imperfection in us we first think the worst. I'm not tech savvy however hackers can hack anything. But If you have addressed the situation with your hubby and he denies it with explanation. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

Question? If Jesus was here today, would his followers be fighting in Israel?

the earth is included with the universe. I think the 3rd heaven includes a spiritual heaven

I don't think the decision is all personal, I think it should be spiritual!

Christians support to be one who follows Christ. Therefore what we should always ask WWJD.

ummm don't think I agree with angels being human messengers or prophets of God

How will Christians see Jesus when he returns, Since according to scripture Jesus wont put on flesh again?

who gave Jesus the power?

The real question is. Do Jesus want Christians to celebrate Christmas as his birth?

Revelation 1:7 is written in signs and symbols so will this be a literal seeing or symbolic seeing?

Hebrew 10:23-25 encourages Christians to meet together

We'll I'm sorta of confused about Yosef being in Heaven based on what Jesus said at John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven". Since Yosef live before Jesus came to earth, how could he go to heaven then?

I believe any Christian that hates another based on their nationality, creed, race, religion etc. is not a true follower of Christ.

Always was fascinate by the bible account of Daniel and his 3 companions. Because they were taken from their parents to a foreign land and still obeyed God, therefore they must have had great training from their parents. Faced with death and still put faith in God.

Romans 10:17 states "Faith follows the things heard". We are not born with faith. Therefore Abraham had to hear something to build his faith in the true God.

So, I did some research and found out that as a youngster Abraham life span overlapped with Shem, Noah's son. Therefore Shem probably related to Abraham what he and his family went through, the flood and building of the Ark. Abraham probably put faith in what Shem told to build his faith in God instead of the idols his father worshipped.

The scriptures says the demons believe in God

Don't think it was million of years between the days in Genesis

Genesis is not written in chronological order. Also day in the bible is not always 24hrs

Jesus stated that the spirit is eager but the flesh is week
