I assume you mean birth DATE, otherwise you're really mixed up. Most likely it was a different date/month, but me thinks you are just looking to find an excuse not to honor Him. That's your choice. But consider carefully if you really want to turn your back on Him and the "why" that he came 2000 years ago. He did it because He loves you, so much so, that He will never force you to love Him back or have to endure eternity with Him. |

If one person can show me the date of Jesus' birthday anywhere in the Holy Scriptures, I'll shut my mouth and never question anything I'm told again....Don't worry, I'll wait. Quoting: AnniJust Because the Catholic Church demanded it because of all the people still celebrating the same day as a Pagan holiday, which was unacceptable to them, so they made it into a Christian holiday. |

It'll avoid debating and they may see the error of their ways. If they won't, don't even reply, because the demonic spirit they work with, wants to cause strife and confusion. Quoting: cmoG530 I'll take my leave on this. WHEN DID GOD TELL YOU THAT CHRISTMAS AND ANY OTHER PAGAN TRADITION WAS OKAY? IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION. DON'T Beat around the bush! If you want the Scripture that proves it's evil and that Father hates it, my email is "[email protected]". Good day. LOL thanks user. Thats the point I've really been trying to make. I know no ones gonna give me the scripture b/c their isnt one. And i do know this for a FACT Only when you release yourself from all material things can you attain true bliss. |

Seriously, this made up Holiday, much like moat of the others are getting pretty old.

Quoting: AnniJust BTW OP, the date is immaterial, it is the event that is celebrated. Which brings me back to the point WHY IS IT SO WIDELY CELEBRATED ON THIS DAY? But regardless of that much, His birthday did nothing for mankind. Which is why we aren't supposed to celebrate IT but rather the passover, his dying for our sins, which did everything. Why celebrate His birth if He did nothing worthy of an eternity of celebration on that day? If He had never been born, He would never have brought the gift of love that you speak of! That which is - has already been, And what is to be - has already been. Quote: King Solomon. |

ThankYou! It is an act of worshiping oneself. As if saying you are a god, and deserve praise Psalm 83 says we ARE little gods,... but we shall die like men. Go take a look how CT Russell TOOK AWAY from the Holy Scriptures!! Sure, we all know about Christ'Mass (Jesus born Fest. of Tabernacles),... you guys got funny stuff of your own. Now go light a candle or something nice like that!! Nothing wrong with lighting lights during the winter months and playing in the snow!! |
