I use it as an opportunity to celebrate my Lord's incarnation, birth, death and resurrection and as a time to teach my children the specialness of those events. Colossians 2:16-17 KJVS [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days : [17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. But where goes the line? Soon well say its only as pagan you make it about anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that sums it up and we can end this discussion right here. Shame on us if we ever pointed our finger at someone who put up a Christmas tree or color an egg and accused them of not be as holy as ourselves.

God does not want us to esteem pagan days, just like he would not want us to celebrate a festival after Baal, he is the same yesterday , today and forever. Then don't celebrate it if you feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just now, Giller said: I know what you are saying Shiloh, but in the bible, their is no evidence at all of God calling that month with that name, so something must of happened in the past for that to be. The name of that month was there during Jesus' earthly ministry, and He didn't speak against it, so it evidently wasn't a problem for Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
