If christmas is such a wonderful Christian holy day (holiday) Why do atheist celebrate it as well. They claim there is no God.
What does God have to say about this pagen holy day.
Deuteronomy 12:30-32 (KJV)
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Jeremiah 10:1-4 (KJV)
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
First we are told not to learn the way of the heathen. Then God tells us what they do.
They cut down a tree and decorate it and stand it up, fixing it so it doesn't tip over.
Can you say christmas tree?
Will you continue in the way of the heathen? Or will you obey the only True and Living God of Creation.
Do you really want to go against God and pay the eternal price: being tormented day and night for ever? Being cast into the lake of fire.
Many times God give example of what happens to those that take part in the way of the heathen. He destroys them.
Be more than a hearer of the Word be a doer of the Word also.
James 1:22 (KJV)
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
