[@ryanyork837]

I'm kind of on the same page. My pastor seems to think it's OK to celebrate Christmas and hes probably not wrong but we don't know biblically what time of the year he was really born but it's ok to acknowledge's birth. I just don't like the pegan holiday that surrounds it

Did you know Jesus was hung on a tree the way it was done in Jesus day your arms are pulled up over his head and his hands was nailed to the tree and his feet was placed one over the other on a little 2by 4 and nailed there it got hard to breath because the one hung there could not stop the water coming down from his arms and you should not say I don't see nothing wrong with Xmas because it was to a false God sugar coated so they could go on servings this false God we want not to be fooled and not get the reward

If he hadn't gone to the cross NOBODY would be saved!

[@keiarahjohnston9887]

Exactly.!! Without the Cross, there would be no perfect love. (See John 15:13) Without the Cross, there would be no grace. Without the Cross, there is no righteousness. Without the Cross, there is no forgiveness. Without the Cross, there is no identity of sons and daughters. The Cross is the great exchange ! Hallelujah

[@ryanyork837]

That's right. That's the ultimate goal right there is to celebrate his resurrection more than worry about when he was born. Use a sovereign Lord who came to die for our iniquities so that we would have righteousness before the father through the blood of his shed

[@patrickghenry100]

Somehow they think it a sin to remember and celebrate a glorious day.. a day that was celebrated by a entire host of heavenly angels, Singing and praising God. A day the angels literally showed themselves to shepherds and exclaimed to them with great gladness and joy. A day that brought shepherds to The king of kings and Lord of Lords to celebrate and worship at the feet of the baby Jesus and even pulled wisemen and kings from other countries to worship a child.. the God child. I can only think of one that would want us to forget such a wondrous event of miracles and reason for great celebration that focuses on our Lord and Savio and that would be.... Satan. Why else do you think he tries to derail this day with a little fat man dressed in red and has satans name written in his name "Santa" (Satan) ... Because he Satan wants to get mankind to wipe out all memories of God in every way possible. And Christmas brings mankind's thoughts to Jesus Christ... And Satan doesn't want that.

[@randykuhns4515]

Christmas is a yearly introduction around the world OF our Savior, TO the world,..

[@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76]

Satan tweaked Christmas with Santa Claus, and he tweaked Easter with a bunny; but he can't tweak the crucifixion. In fact, he doesn't want people to even think about that. The less about Christ's life we can remember, the less we'll think about His death.

[@zellerized]

Satan didn't tweak Christmas. Culture created a holiday. All you need to know and celebrate is in your Bible. I recommend studying the feasts as every major event from Jesus' birth, crucifixion, death, etc were told in the stars. Celebrate the feasts out of joy/respect and nothing more. I believe the return of Jesus will be at a feast.

[@IWasGivenRest]

Christmas and Easter have always been rooted and originating from paganism. Christians decided to change it so they could celebrate a holiday about God. It is false history and a plain lie to say Christmas was ever a Christian Holiday. It's not wrong to use Christmas to glorify God, but people need to stop saying it was a Christian Holiday that Satan changed to be secular, instead of the other way around, it only hurts our attempt to reach souls to claim a lie as truth.

[@emmanuelroosevelt6840]

@@zellerized you didn't get what he was trying to postulate...

[@emmanuelroosevelt6840]

To be honest, the crucifixion was tweaked by the Islamic prophet named Muhammad, for he said that Allah revealed to him that Jesus Christ didn't die, by saying this, he has led many to hell to believe in a falsified tale about not cruxifying the Messiah on the cross for the true redemption of humanity...

[@patrickghenry100]

Amen. Satan doesn't want anything that might bring carnal man to see Christ for who He really is. Many wouldn't even know there was a Jesus Christ, Messiah, Emanuel God with us .. if it weren't for Christmas. Thank God for it .. get behind us Satan in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!!

There’s hardly a better season to spread the Gospel than the Christmas season. This year I’m not celebrating Christmas because it’s a “holy day”-although commemorating the birth of our Savior is a good thing to do-but instead to let my light shine before others.

You got a halo or a flashlight w/ fresh batteries?

[@SoapyOrangeCat]

There's no crucifixion without a birth. Be thankful for both

[@alexanderstephen1567]

Yes. But what was important, was the death of Christ and His ressurection. If Jesus was only born in this world and did not die, He would have been useless. This is why we find in Scripture to celebrate His death, but not His birth. This is why the cross is the power of God and not His birth.

[@SoapyOrangeCat]

@Alexander Stephen Why would He come to earth to not die? This was the plan before the creation of the world. My brother in Christ, rejoice in the coming of Christ. It was foretold by Isaiah hundreds of years before the event.

The early church was correct. what is important is his death that is what saved us saved our soul. People celebrate Christmas it's exciting gift giving do not see Jesus as a God but a good man. Jesus is a God a Savior a King that has died for our sins. Celebrate the correct way it's not about a good time but it's about the baby that was born to save us from this wicked world.

[@paulbauer6353]

Why hast ist to be one or the other? I celebrate both. The birth because he came to us to be with us, to be near us, so that we would know him. The death because there He died for our Sinns. And also the resurrection because now we have hope for our resurrection.

Well Christ was born in September first of all..so, but if you think our loving Heavenly Father it's going to send a bunch of people to hell for celebrating Christmas.. then you don't know our Heavenly Father, God doesn't wake up every day looking for people to send the hell, 🕊️

[@zellerized]

Nothing wrong with celebrating His birth that was foretold from the very beginning. As a matter of fact, if you didn't celebrate His birth like everyone else did at Jesus' time (Simeon, Anna, wise men, shepherds, all of Israel!) then there is something wrong with you or you have no understanding.. His birth is more likely Sept 11 though. I think the pastor was having a little fun putting it to those who take Christ like a few days off of work.. The Father put Jesus' birth in the stars for all to know that His plan for redeeming Israel was as promised. Gentiles get to take part in that.

[@patriciawiggins8409]

NOT ALL CHRISTIANS who observe Christmas gets drunk or celebrates New Years! I don’t. Christmas to me is Christs starting ministry on earth Easter is His sacrifice for my sin! I cry at both.

[@raulorta3587]

For starters everything is not mentioned in the Bible. That is why Jesus gave Peter the power to lead the church, and that power has a succession component to it that is seen up until today. And for those that do not accept the power of succession, claim to interpret the Bible through a conversation they had with the Holy Spirit, which supports their own bias.

[@angelbulldog4934]

Christmas is actually a pagan holiday called Saturnalia. Easter is Ishtar, another pagan observance. I'm pretty familiar with my Bible and I find no information at all about the date Jesus was actually born or the date He died. I love Him too much to play in the devil's yard. Besides, if you wait till one day of the year to observe His birth, His life, His death, or His resurrection, you've wasted 364 other perfect opportunities. May it never be!

I don't dance around a cradle I worship the God and the miracles of that special birth that points to Jesus as the God child and the very Son of the living God. And I DON'T Drink and get drunk on new years or any other day of the year. Only Satan would want to get rid of such a miraculous day for remembering God and how He came to us in the flesh. And the birth that lets you know it was different than any other that shows us that this child was NOT like any other child but was Emanuel.. God With Us the Messiah. Just like Satan tries to get us to stop celebrating the miracle of His resurrection two days that can bring mankind's eyes to God and the Savior... he Satan wants all thoughts towards God and His Only Begotten Son.. be wiped out completely. ..... You can get rid of Jesus if you want...as for me and my house We Will Not .. We will worship God and celebrate both Miracles that brings us to the Savior.

The disciples were not Celebrating Jesus's Death either. When Jesus was killed (killing of the innocent), they All scattered and was not Happy! They leaned on the Arm of the Flesh/Jesus even though he Continually Told them to SEEK/PRAY to The Father/Creator. His source was their source . If we/they walked in GODS.WAYS./THE LIGHT/RIGHTEOUSLY before The.Lord , GOD would/Will reveal Himself! Psalms 84:11, Isaiah 57:2, Proverbs 11:3 and Genesis 17:1 to name a few. Jesus said to Walk in the Light. Listen to the Messages today.... They say we can't do what Jesus said to do. Who's right, Jesus or False Teachers/Preachers. If we can study and graduate school, learn and perform a Trade, walk in a single line, We can learn Right from Wrong & Do it. Believing that Lie from Hell is as telling Jesus that you can't. The Truth is...... You don't want to. You want the Benefits given to you without he effort. SOUNDS FAMILIAR.. Want FREE Salvation? I remember Philippians.2:12 saying.".WORK out your Salvation with Fear and trembling". Jesus said it would cost us. So much for the Doctrines of Demons who work to Will try to work within us both to will and do his bad pleasure ! The opposite of GOD. How's this- Here is a FREE Home Security System. (Free Gift) you didn't earn it. All you have to do is Pay to Maintain it!!!?? Is it really Free? Look back to the Old Testament and see how FREE IT Wasn't! It cost them too. Some Honored GOD & others and went Upstairs, while other choose not to and suffer downstairs. We get out of it what we put into this Life in the END. It's like that in our world & in His. Do you think He Loves us More than those in the Old Testament? Then you think too Highly /Arrogantly about yourself!! Do good get good -Do bad get bad..... Anything else is Delusional !
