Do you celebrate Christmas?

Jesus killed a fig tree so fig trees must be evil and we should destroy them all.

Why is it that the leftys want to ban christmas and Zayit wants to ban christmas? what's the connection?

Is that what it means? Sorry, I can't tell a lie, I am right handed, and since I live in the states to follow the local laws I always drive on the right.

Actually I do occasionally eat with my left hand whilst typing with my right ( I'm a multi-tasker) .

All I know is that I am so excited about my first Christmas as a believer. Celebrating the birth of our Savior. And it is we who get the greatest present of all. And I don't mean theater tickets. Though that would be nice.

Yod,

I agree with your preferences with regards to WEARING a cross-most people wear them only as a decoration anyway and what my Savior hung on is not a decoration IMO!

amen!

It's hard enough trying to carry one everyday (metaphorically) without it being trivialized by rock stars. It means practically nothing to wear one these days...

I don't know exactly when Jesus was born and since the Bible doesn't record it, I don't guess we'll ever know for sure. However, something I find odd is this-Satan went to great lenght in ancient/pagan religions to copy the major facets of Christianity-virgin birth, resurrection, etc. Something else that was found common in these pagan religions was on or around December 25, the deity was born. If Satan went to those kind of lengths to copy Christianity, is it a far stretch to think that his choosing December 25 was not a copy of the real thing as well? Again, I no that we can't pin it down for sure, but just some food for thought.

I wear little gold cross earings. I used to think "What would you wear a cross for? its just an emblem of his death?" one lady told me i was looking at it all wrong and she is right. The cross is not a symbol of the Lord's death, He was not defeated on the cross remember? It's a sign of his victory. The cross being empty shows that he is risen. It's a big reminder, a wonderful reminder, of what Jesus did for us, and how the greatest victory of all time came to pass as the father said it would. Now a cross with Jesus on it as jewellery? Thats a different story. So everytime walk past a window or glance at a mirror and see my little cross earings, i thank the Lord for all he's done and praise him that i can show my christianity with his victory.

Wearing cross jewelry and Christian phrases or logos on clothing is a real missionary tool for me. As soon as I get a compliment or a comment on them, I go right in to talking about Jesus.

Oh, and Jesus did not "KILL" the fig tree, the Fig tree stood for Israel, and he cursed us,for not recognising the time of his visitiation. It is an fearsome thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING G-D!
