I can tell you from a conspiracy theorist's point of view and an end time researcher, it certainly has the potential to be very evil.  Most of the people that are allowed to be in charge in the worldly way down here are pretty much from hard core evil groups.

 

Time will tell.

Book, Chapter and Verse please where we are told to celebrate this day!! This day has only been celebrated on the 1st Jan for around 300 yrs. Used to be on the 25th Dec for a while and before that in March coinciding with other pagan celebrations i.e. easter. As all these days are typically to do with solstices go figure. The Bible was written when they used the Hebrew Calendar and obviously the Gregorian calendar was not around which is also a part of the great delusion/deception. Gregorian calendar has only been in use for around 4-5 hundred years.

I will stick to the context our Bibles were written in and let the world celebrate it pagan days that all have the fruits of gluttony, debauchery, unclean, sin, drunkenness, fornication, adultery etc etc etc. Which are the fruits of these days. As for me and my house we will serve Yahweh and worship on His days that He taught in Lev 23, again I will use the scriptures. The God I worship and serve, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, The God of the Hebrews. My God does not change neither does His word from Gen-Rev.

Biblical New Year 1st of Nissan or Aviv in Hebrew and we are not told to celebrate that day however we are instructed to worship on the 14th-21st Aviv which is Passover and Unleavened Bread including Firstfruits. I will stick to the scriptures and to what Yahweh and Yeshua and the apostles all taught thanks.

Keep in mind I used to do all these days, but one day I heard My shepherds voice and now I do what He says from His word. For Yeshua said    NKJ John 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 

Joh 14:24 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. 

NKJ Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written,`Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"   Quoting directly from Deut 8:3


At the time these things were said there was no NT, the "Fathers Words and Doctrine" spoken of above are the OT.

I know there will be strong resistance to this but give me book chapter and verse with proper exegesis and context that says Yahweh says we are to celebrate these days.

Shalom

If your argument is its not in the Bible...well, neither is the internet. Or cars. In fact we should all be living like the amish. 

With one exception of course...we can all drive Hondas as long as were of one accord. ;)

New Year's is not intrinsically or inherently evil.

It depends on how you define evil. If the Bible is your guide, is New Years Biblical? Is it even accurate that the "New Year" starts in what the world refers to an January?

A lot of horrible things that are done in the world today were not necessarily described in the Bible. Does that make them any less despicable?

The Amish believe in a lot of unsound doctrine. So in a lot of ways we shouldn't be like them. https://brendanixononamish.blogspot.com/2015/02/do-amish-use-bible.html

But consider this: During the Covid Plandemic, they took no shots, not boosters and they let the viruses take their course. They also did not shut down and their economy is thriving!

Also, we're not all going to fit in one Accord...

Legalism is a problem for those who think obeying the law will get them to heaven. No one can earn their way to heaven by works.

By the same token folks can't earn their way to heaven by saying they believe either.

James 2:17 - So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead

James 2:18 - But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

James 2:19 - You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

Every day is a day to celebrate, including Jan 1, and Jan 2, and Jan 3, etc etc.....

When I wake up to another day, I simply say thanks Lord, and celebrate the privilege of  receiving another day of living, that's not granted to everyone;

"This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!"

That scripture is Psalm 118, v-24, and for those needing context;

Psalms 118;

118 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:

20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Good luck...Best wishes.... Have a nice day...default_thumbsup.gif.bd018a59615f0dd045216f2282d3e18c.gif Celebrate and be glad!!  (it's ok:)

Do we have pagan feast for the internet, cars etc. Certainly wouldn't be putting my trust in different religious movements either. Which is why we are in the mess we are in today. We are talking about a celebration day weather one should or not Biblically. I will stick to what the scriptures says with which days should be celebrated. The scriptures will be my plumbline thanks, not some poorly stated fleshy answer trying to give a justification for acting like the rest of the world, my Bible says come out from among them My People and Be Holy for I am Holy and that is Peter quoting from you guessed it the Old Testament. 

His word is living sharper than any two edge sword!! May it continue to cut away from the garbage doctrines of men and demons. Help us Yahweh, have mercy on us and continue to open our eyes please may it be so!!!

Shalom

People worship those items far more then the new years. The worst most people do for new years is drink beer and set off fire works. . .they dont really give a owls hoot about new years other then its entertainment value. Most people dont know or even care about its "pagan" origins, nor should they because the pagan religion associated with it died off centuries ago.

However people spend hours on their phone doing everything from arguing with friends to making tik tok videos. Many people literally dont know how to function without a phone anymore.

And i know a lot of people who spend more money on their car in a year then i spent on a house. Materialism is very much a religion. And a current one to.

Yet you spend your time arguing against modern holidays, because of their irrelevant pagan roots but say its ok to participate in the "religion" of materialism?

This is why i say legalism is hypocrisy. Because it is. You pick and choose what "rules" to follow and which arnt and look down upon those who dont follow "your" definition of the law.

However if one was to look at the intent of the law rather then the letter then there is no hypocrisy.

I can own a car and not sin as long as i dont let it become an idol but treat it as a tool so it doesnt come between me and God.

On the same note i can also celebrate holidays like Christmas and new years because i know i can do so celebrating God. I know where my heart is at...so its completely irrelevant that thar day used to be a holy day for some long dead religion.

Its always best to look at the intent of the law rather then the letter. Following the letter of the law leads to hypocrisy and arrogance, the pharisees and sadducees are prime examples of the downfalls and consequences of legalism.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
