The True Meaning of Christmas

The true meaning of Christ-Mass was pagan syncretism when it started and still is pagan syncretism. No matter what your heart tells you it is. If it is truly about the birth of Yeshua, then why celebrate His birth using a bunch of pagan traditions and rituals instead of how the Bible tells us how to celebrate Him.

Yeshua came, but that has nothing to do with Christ-Mass. The only thing you are affirming is that you believe the lie the RCC told centuries ago.

Once again, did the Apostles celebrate His birth? His BEST friends? You still fail to answer that. Yeshua said, "Follow me".

If a local church decided that having a birthday party for Jesus and publishing it as a way to tell others that Jesus came as a means of evangelism, do you think that God would find anything wrong with that? I don't think so.

I have yet to get anything Biblical that supports Christ-Mass from anyone. But I can show you numerous places not found in the Bible that does not support it. Thus not in the Book of Truth = A lie..

Not a matter of salvation but truth

Jesus Christ gave a clear directive to the Church on how we are to remember the Lord, not his birth or resurrection, but his "death"

(This Do In Remembrance Of Me)

1 Corinthians 11:24-26KJV

²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

Very good. Then we should add communion to our Christmas gatherings as we celebrate His coming.

I'd say that local church is also lying...

If that pastor can't they can't proclaim Christ without lying, maybe they need a new pastor.

It also does not matter what I think. What does YeHoVah think?

"Do not learn the ways of the heathen and use them to worship Me"

So you think every time a local church comes up with creative ways to evangelize that's lying?

You don't do a remembrance communion on a regular basis?

When it's based on a lie, it's based on a lie. It doesn't matter how creative it is. I would even venture to say that many abominable pagan traditions are very creative... But lies none the less...

So let me get this straight, your argument against christmas is there is no scriptural evidence for it, but yet your argument against it is from outside scripture? 

I mean correct me if Im wrong, but thats basically saying "neither of us have any scripture to back up our claims but im right so just deal with it"

Realistically if your argument is "not found in the book" means its a lie, then the same rule has to be applied across the board, meaning that your argument is a lie as well.

Not intending to pick a fight...just saying you need a better argument. Merry Christmas and God bless.
