Should Christians celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday?

[Kerry]

Christmas is just that it is a christian holiday. The heathen brought in santa claus just as they brought in the easter bunny. We celebrate the birth of our savoir and coming king. Satan will always try to differ it to some vain thing and people will follow suit. MOst public schools are now banning any thing that pertains to the reason for the season. The cannot sing silent night nor have a nativity scene. The theme of today is if its muslim then it alright but if its christian then ban it.

 

[Hizikyah]

what are the Hebrew names of the months, Hizikyah?

IN the Scriptures they are simply numbered, the Hebrews did name them and they were changed after leaving Babylon, but I simply go by number as that is how Yahweh spoke about them...

Here is a modern/some Bablonian influences names if you must...

1 Abib
2 Zib
3 Eitanim
4
5 AvAb
6 Ylul
7 Tishri
8 Marheshwan
9 Kisleb
10 Tebeth
11 Sabat
12 Adar

and IF needed
13 Adar Bet

[Hizikyah]

Okay christians HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Since christ has no part.

There is a beautiful HolyDay, ordained by Yahweh, that is 100% about Messiah Yahshua!

Actually there are 7...

The first one is in the first moon, on the 14th day.

The second one lasts 7 days long!

AMAZING! SO SO JOYFUL!

They perfect lay out all the works of Messiah! 1st and 2nd coming!

But most of you hate those days and want to have noting to do with them.

Calling the Jew days, when Yahweh calls them HIS HOLD DAYS, APPOINTED TIMES.

Most would rather celebrate Babylon, and call me evil for saying otherwise, how sad....or the famous "do I HAVE to celebrate those things?" No you dont have to celebrate Yahweh and Yahshua the way He intended, you have free will...

Isayah 5:20, "Woe to those who call evil righteous, and righteous evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Here is a confession of faith that we are told is from Constantine, the Roman emperor who made the Christian religion accepted in Rome. Constantine also was behind the establishment of Christmas as a Christian Holiday. He needed to convert his pagan worshiping people to Christianity, so he Christianized their holidays. That way they need change only the name of their God.

Here is a copy:
“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads & sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspersions, purifications, sanctifications and propitiations and fasts, and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants and observances and Synagogues, and the food and drink of the Hebrews; in one word, I renounce everything Jewish, every law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with the Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.”

Constantine converted the religion... and the whole world wondered after the beast...

Daniyl 7:25, "And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change times and Laws..."

Christmas is based on too many falsehoods to mix it with Bible truths.

 

[JaumeJ]

I know of denominations claiming to teach the Word to be based on too many falsehodds, yet I believe family resides within.

Christmas is a wonderful tool to keep children's minds focused at least once a year on the fact that a Savior was born and is available for all for their Salvation.

It is a wonderful tool for children not exposed to the Gospel, piquing the curiosity of young and not-so-young minds on just what ticks with the story from the Word. For unto us a Child is born.

Anyone who until today have been vehemently opposed to Christmas for any reason should consult the Word on just how amazing our Maker is. He will use that which is not to bring down that which is....................



1Co 1:24
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

1Co 1:25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

1Co 1:26
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

1Co 1:27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1Co 1:28
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1Co 1:29
That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1Co 1:30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

To me the Christmas tree represents Christ on the Cross, it was not the most beautiful thing to look at I recon...But it was the most beautiful thing!

What celebration with a religious theme is most money spent on? Here are just 2 examples:Christmas facts and surveys a• Average amount spent on Christmas trees in the U.S. 2010-2012 | Statisticnd

Ever wonder how 3rd world countries look at rich 'Christian' countries? Or rather, what is this Christmas thing all about anyway?

Matthew 26
[h=3]The Anointing at Bethany[/h]6 And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Christians do Christmas for different reasons then why the world does it! Christians celebrate the birth of the God-Man, who left heaven a rich man to humble Himself and put on humanity to be our servant, to place our sins on Himself, to suffer and death in our place. What a tremendous gift this is!

I'd rather have Christmas (the true meaning that we put into it, the gospel message) mixed in with a bunch of nonsense then to have no Christmas at all. It's a tool we can use to further His message!

 

[Tintin]

Hi, you and your ilk are doing more damage than good. If you don't believe in celebrating Christmas don't. But don't go on and on about it and call out others. That's not Christ-like. There's a difference between conviction and condemnation. You could be turning away potential believers.

 

[homwardbound]

There are lots of false religions

Calling something religious does not make it right.

So just want to know the creator of all and I am sure Father will lead any and all to the right place in the right way as the enemy tries to distract from truth
God just love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! start there and be set free in Father through Son's finished work at the cross for you

 

[homwardbound]

Why would it not please God to be worshipped everyday? Because your church says so or because God says so?

God today can:
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth

 

[Pipp]

The way I see it is ..This is the one time of the year the whole world briefly turns it's eyes to the birth of Christmas and what it means.... why wouldn't we take advantage of it to further share the gospel? Yes the world will try to hide it's true meaning but that's why we need to be there to remind them of the miracle God did for this world. Just my opinion.
