It's an upside down mentality. Instead of saying "anything not mentioned as being sin in scripture by direct statement or direct inference is an area of freedom and personal conviction" they get this idea that if it's not mentioned its necessary to investigate to make sure it was never done by a pagan in the entire history of the universe. Which means they have too much time on their hands or they just take the words of others for their information...

Christmas is pagan... besides the pagan link, it's Catholic... another cult.

To celebrate our own birthdays is a good thing... but we do it on the right day or within the week of it happening... not months apart like Christian's do Jesus birthday.

There is no reason to celebrate his birth really. It is not biblical. It was not done by the early church. The resurrection yes, but again... not on Easter as that too is pagan.

Amen!

Interestingly the TWO ordinances the were left to the Church have to do with the death of Jesus Christ and not His birth.

The wise men did not come to celebrate His birth. they left the East at His birth and were coming to worship the King who was a small child by that time. Around 2 yrs of age.

John MacArthur is teaching on this this very week. I woke up to his teaching this morning and it is refreshing to have all these origins so clearly presented.

Martin Luther does have a few things to answer for and not just the Jews.

Of course the heart & soul of anti-Christmas and anti-birthdays is Charles Taze Ruseell's false cult known as Jehovah's False Witnesses who decry Holy Writ and blaspheme our Lord Jesus Christ in every possible way by referring to the Lord of Glory as a "created being." As soon as Russellites "pull up their socks" re the essential Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, then perhaps we can give consideration to the Christmas scene which, in our most emphatic opinion and as stated by an earlier poster, seems a beautiful occasion indeed for lifting up Jesus Christ before a hostile world. What better time indeed?!

Well we could begin by finding a more realistic time that is based on His birth rather than taking Saturnalia as the thing we celebrate.

Romans 14:5-6 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

So long as everybody is celebrating something which is consistent with a biblical worldview (being grateful and thankful for the birth of our relatives and also the incarnation is quite consistent with a biblical worldview)...

Nobody can force a Christian to do so, or likewise, nobody has the right to forbid it. To force it is to make these celebrations have significance that the Bible does not give them, to forbid it is to place bounderies on a beleiver that the scriptures do not place on them. It is wrong for a believer to give other's guilt trips for deciding to forgo extra biblical celebrations. It is just as wrong for a believer to give another a guilt trip for choosing to observe. They are violating the scriptural admonition of Romans 14.

If God doesn't want us to celebrate Birthdays, then why did he make birthday cake?

Similarly, to vegetarians:

If God didn't intend for us to eat animals, then why did He make them out of meat?

    • 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.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • 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!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • 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.
