yes yes of course Christmas makes us feel good and makes us feel happy, but if we found out Lucifer was born on December 25th and Jesus was born on Sept,11th and we still celebrate Christmas as the day our messiah was born would that be wrong?

Hard to say. At our house, we make Halloween a Christian celebration.

Because I am wondering myself why are we celebrating Christmas when Jesus was not born on Christmas although
Mithra: The Pagan Christ was born on Christmas so if we are celebrating the birth of our messiah on December 25th but our messiah was not born on December 25th who's birth are we really celebrating? of course I like everyone else celebrate it because of Jesus but when you really think about it our we? if we are saying that December 25th our messiah was born but instead the sun God was born on December 25th who are we saying our messiah is?

These are the thoughts going through my head that's why I asked
Maybe the following will help
Merry Mithras!

No he is not.

It's an opportunity on this night to reveal the Gospel.

Our church puts on an alternative party on the night.
We have tracts we give out with the goody bags we give out.

It's not limited to the church.
Every house should do it as well.

It's more like taking back a night God made. It never belonged to Satan.

I feel the same way about the world. It is God's. He made it, and he told us to possess it. Most Christians are content to aslo give that to Satan

I started to read it but honestly this just scares the heck out of me it makes me feel like im gonna have a panic attack
I'm sorry, that was not my intention.

The reason I posted it was because it helped me and I thought it may help others.
Do you feel you could expand your thoughts.

No problem if not.

have you always done it that way? do you celebrate anything on December 25th?
No, only for about 5 years now. We celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25th. It really doesn't matter to us when Christ was born, though I do think Sept. 11th is shown in Scripture.

Why do you celebrate Christmas?
I really don't know. Maybe 'cause I enjoy home-made Christmas treats. I started my Christmas shopping today. For me this is an early start. People buy stuff and give stuff and that keeps the economy going. It's not a bad thing. Oh yeah, I think that it's the birthday of Jesus on that day. The thing about Christmas is that it's not just a day but a season for as long as you have the Christmas spirit whatever that is.

Sort of like Christmas too. I'm down with the candy part, preferably home-made.

I'll be fine and dandy. Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
