As I get older, I feel my birthday isn't as important to me as it was when I was younger. I opt not to have a party because I feel bad expecting people to take time out of their lives for me. on this particular day I don't feel comfortable with special attention. Yesterday was my birthday and my husband took our young children and I to dinner, which was lovely.

Thank God I don't celebrate birthday parties.

[@cnm2976]

On my birthday I go to church, I pray and thank God for answered prayer.

“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...!” Jer.10:2-3 Don’t be deceived! ❤️💯

I half expected y’all to reveal that Birthday cakes were some pagan ritual to the god of baby eating or something

[@rosemary.-6576]

Pagans don't do human or animal sacrifices, they also don't worship tje devil or anything like that. Those are just misconceptions

[@ethanzobelle6141]

Oh stop .

[@augustuslxiii]

@@rosemary.-6576 I mean, to be fair and accurate, it depends on the pagan society we’re talking about. Some absolutely did sacrifice people. Historical fact. (And we see animal sacrifice was common in the ancient world, including some monotheist traditions.) I’m not “hating” on paganism, by the way. I’m not religious in any way. But I’m a historian.

Muslims not allow to celebrate birthdays . But many ignore it & some say it's a misunderstanding! But religious Muslims don't celebrate birthdays across the globe. I have never ever celebrated my birthday. & I am a Indian Muslim

[@enriquemarais6129]

Well when it comes to misconceptions of when a woman is able to have intercourse Muhammad surely didnt take his time to wait....6/7 Marriage and 9 intercourse? With Muslims defending it on the basis of women growing faster in the hot climate. This is a problem much bigger than birthdays my friend

[@Giniro_No_Suisei]

This is why I stopped celebrating birthdays, to the dismay of the rest of my family.

[@augustuslxiii]

Why, because Artemis?

[@Giniro_No_Suisei]

@@augustuslxiii It is because of its pagan origin.

[@meliamedaverman3558]

I stopped celebrate as well because the Living GOD reveal that celebrating Birth DAY every year is a LIE. We only have ONE Birth-DAY and that was the DAY we came out from out mother. It should be called DATE of BIRTH or BirthDATE from then on. I'm actually here as I am searching for the origin of "birthDays". Now I know where it first came from and it came from a pagan roots.

[@stormbunnie6966]

@@Giniro_No_Suisei Every holiday is, I always wonder why christians don't question anything that they are taught....

[@Giniro_No_Suisei]

[@famebkny6675]

The celebration of birthdays comes from the Greco-Roman society, not Egypt. Artemis was a so-called moon god. So they made cakes round like the moon with candles and they brought the cakes to her shrine when they prayed to her. This is how this pagan holiday '' Birthdays'' spread around the world. This is the origin of birthdays, and yes it's EVIL!!!

[@DerrickCartercosmostravels]

Paganism is older than Christianity so how is this true?

[@benjaminahisrael611]

Birthdays were only celebrated by the pagans in the bible like the Egyptians, babylonians etc God ppl in the bible did not celebrate birthdays its not their culture. Birthdays are the highest pagan celebration

[@teroteroz]

Nothing I don't celebrate my birthday

[@icecreamcutie7700]

As a Christian, I DO NOT CELEBRATE. I’m one of Jehovah’s witnesses and Jehovah God does not approve of birthday celebrations

[@fazeelzubair2787]

So birthday cake and blowing candles is not accepted in Christianity, Islam and also Hinduism.... it would be better if thus practice gets abolished

THE DIFFERENCE 1 John 3:9-10 9 whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. Ezekiel 18:26 26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Luke 12:45-47 45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. Revelation 3:5 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. 1 Children Of GOD 2 children of the devil WHICH ONE ARE YOU? As you can see clearly from these scriptures and more than several other scriptures in The Bible, that once saved always saved is false doctrine. We CANNOT die in ANY SIN or any UNFORGIVENESS OF OTHERS. Before we leave this earth, before we die, or before the Lord calls us home, we must confess and forsake ALL SIN. NO SIN enters Heaven. We will ALL be before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an account of our lives. BEFORE we die or the Lord calls us home, We MUST be without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. We must use God’s Holy Spirit through His Son Jesus and live a life of True Holiness. We through the Grace that God has given us through His Son Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit must live in HOLINESS without which NO ONE shall see God. All the pastors teaching this once saved always saved doctrine should REPENT for leading all those in their congregations astray. The Word of God says WOE to those pastors who lead my sheep astray. To all those who still believe in this false doctrine should be led of the Holy Spirit and read The Bible for themselves not just listen to their pastors. Amen 🙏

Jesus never celebrated his Bday bcuz he knew it came from worldly pagan origins. So I don't celebrate birthdays or any other holidays anymore. Matthew 15:3 "In reply he said to them: “Why do you overstep the commandment of God because of your tradition?"+ Mark 7:13 "Thus you make the word of God invalid by your tradition that you have handed down.+ And you do many things like this.”+ Matthew 15:6-9 he need not honor his father at all.’ So you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.+ 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said:+ 8 ‘This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”+

Only a simple psychology behind this-first of it is known that trees and plants came first... Plants and their seeds etc...but creatures??? They might have also the production of plants??? They may be like hive ??? And what kind of a hive is??? Little bit like bread??? So many micro hole??? It is automatically a cake like condition??? Candles contains mom...like thing that hive too is made of mom... None knows where from we come in world and it is too unknown thing from where hive come...??? Think about my comment and give a argument... How this trend of lighting candles on birthday and cake is started???

Acts 5:1-11 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias heard these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours later, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then she fell down straightaway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

To remember your birthday is not a sin because that was the day that we are created by God with our parents as a way to come into existence but in celebration of birthday it should be a simple and thanksgiving in honor to God as creator.
