Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

[@salamatsidabutar6109]

The question is did Jesus ask His disciples or us as believers to celebrate His birthday. I read the bible that Herod the tetrarch celebrated his birthday (Matthew 14:6), but there is no one single verse that tells us that Jesus celebrated His birthday during His time in this earth. What Jesus asked us to do to remember Him, to remember His sacrifice is to celebrate the Holy Communion(Luke 22:19). Thanks and God bless you and your ministry!

[@TiffShuttlesworth]

I made clear in my teaching there is no Biblical support for celebrating or not celebrating the birth of Christ.

[@jiedstar862]

The exact date of Jesus Christ 's sacrifice is given in the Bible but that has been abolished and replaced by Good Friday. We should follow according what the Bible said. Polycarp bishop of Smyrna along with other bishop of 7 churches of Revelation commemorated the exact date neither diminished nor added what the Bible wrote. Further that the Easter is based on the full moon calculated after the vernal equinox. These are all mens' traditions .

Romans 14:5-12 King James Version 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God

Discrediting man made holidays was never the purpose of this video. It is not bad or wrong for a Christian to label a day more special than another day. For example, if I want to commemorate my second birth/baptism in celebration every year because I'm grateful that I'm his, I am not in error, and it is not wrong. If you don't want to do it, so be it, but it's not wrong to do it.

[@sofia830]

I think Christmas is a temptation for many Christians because it appeals to the lust of the flesh (feasting in delicious foods) the lust of the eyes, (all the Christmas decorations) and the pride of life (the gift giving) and on top of that their pastors tell them is okay. Just like everybody else, I liked Christmas, what's not to like but I wanted to know the truth about it and most importantly to me if it was Biblical, after prayer and reading my Bible as well as looking up some information online I decided to give it up. It hurt me to see many Christians being enamored by the Christmas season with the rest of the world but after praying about it, I came to understand that God weights our hearts and knows who loves Him, worships Him and obeys Him and not themselves. there are some who truly believe in their hearts they are celebrating Jesus birth and their celebratory activities revolves around Jesus and Him alone and they don't know anything else; and there are those who say they are honoring Jesus but only give him half and hour at church on the 25th and for the rest of the season is all about the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. God knows who is who, He cannot be fooled, He is merciful and just and He will give to everyone according to their deeds, this is how I made peace in this matter. If you love Jesus and want to please Him you should read your Bible for your self and give a chance to The Holy Spirit to reveal His word to you because pastors are not without error they make mistakes and excuses for their sins too. To those of us who believe He is precious but to the disobedient He is a stumbling block and a rock of offense. By the way if you do your research you will see the catholic church gave the name Christmas to a pagan celebration and we know anything that is not of God is from the devil, he is the father of lies, this pagan celebration was dusted off a little to blend it with Christianity and Christianity to paganism to make it appealing to both sides. It didn't coincide with, it started pagan. For me there is just too many symbolic pagan traditions in Christmas that I don't want to practice but like I said, seek God for your self in this and anything for that matter and be certain in your convictions, my advice to you is establish your self on Jesus and His word and not on any person or their opinions. There are pagan influences in our daily lives that are not under our control but some are and we do have a choice such as partaking in worldly traditions which the Bible clearly says we are not to copy. What about taking the mark of the beast? That will be a form of currency in the future, is that okay then because it will be a part of life? Absolutely not, but in that you will have a choice too. I apologize if this sounds offensive to some, that is not my intention, God bless you.

They only thing I would say is the Christmas tree. I don't think it should be on a church. I only learnt thus year that decorating with evergreens (as pretty as they are) when cultures whi worshiped their own gods, Egyptians and romans . The History channel is helpful, to understand context. However, jesus does say that his is eternal life; that they know you, the only true God and his son jesus christ, whom you have sent (John 17:3). The thought of putting up a tree is revolting, and also to question which god are you celebrating? This is the first year of my earthly life I tossed the Christmas tree out my house. To worship in Spirit and in truth, God Father in Heaven.

Wrestling with this for awhile.We should have at least been taught it is the celebration of the birth of Christ,not the day he was born for no one knows.Then I wonder if at least one gets saved because of the recognition of the birth who may not ever have.The birth of Christ is the most beautiful truthful story ever told.Lying about Satan cause,I mean Santa Claus telling lies and gifts we can’t afford is not good.

[@anamiguel668]

Respectfully, the argument saying just because something meant something historically doesn't mean it means the same thing now is a slippery slope. Couldn't someone say the same (and trust me they do) about the bible?? God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If someone's eyes are opened to the truth, why try so hard to justify a lie? Ultimately God uses all things for good and many people have learned the truth of Jesus through Christmas time- Glory to God. It shouldn't be an argument or point of judgment im sorry if that has happened to anyone 😔 It is however one of those things, once you see it, it's hard to unsee. It is a personal choice indeed, not something to condemn others 💔

I did all that, too. But, growing means leaving behind the things that only a child could understand. We all inherited a lie and things wherein there is no profit. Jeremiah 16:19. We all grew up in Babylon. Revelation 18:1-4 It's time to leave. Celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles is what YHVH decreed, and I can offer compelling evidence for it being the Feast of Messiah's birth. It is also the prophetic picture of His return. That is why YHVH gave us these feasts. John 5:46, Luke 24:44 The days we esteem are the god we serve. Observe=serve. Faith is walking that path, knowing that I will never be guilty as long as I have chosen the correct Way to walk. Jesus is the Way. How did He walk? He did all kinds of wonderful works, like every good god does. He was moral and kind. But, what distinguishes Him from every other teacher is that His religious walk was the Torah. The Torah is the holidays of YHVH. They protect us from the pollution of idols. And, they are all about Jesus. It's a win-win.

On my second date with the boy that was going to become my husband, he mentioned nonchalantly that his family did not celebrate Christmas. I remember being very upset, because although I had not been bought up in a Christian household, Jesus had shown himself to me at age 7, and I was conflicted with the thought that someone that I had fallen in love with at first sight might not love God. Because I did not understand all these things, I thought he must be an atheist! Luckily on the third date I was brave enough to bring it up again, and in a very simple way, have fellowship with each other about it. This is a timely sermon, because for the first time ever, our family holiday falls over Christmas, and we are going to be in a house of Christians who do and don't celebrate Christmas, and I had been pondering how to navigate this with sensitivity. Our children do get one gift on Christmas Day. It started off being just a 'well done for a good year gift' that was not given on Christmas, but as they started school at their Christian school, they became more interested in the festivity of the celebration, so we started giving the gift on that day. We still don't have a tree. Our boys (7y, 5y) know the reasons why there are questions around whether to celebrate Christmas or not. We do enjoy this one time of the year when they can receive a little gift at the same time, and so just focus on having a nice family day, in which we continue to put Jesus first, as we do on every other day.

In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

I don't know about others but..... I see Christmas like the parable of the wheat and the tares. There are pagan roots to the holiday and it's not perfectly about the birth of Jesus historically. What I mean about that is that the holiday has become a mix of pagan and the holy. It's really up to us to discern the parts of the season that are not of our lord and those that are. Personally, since realizing that Jerimiah 10, could be talking about this very season, I had a hard time even buying a Christmas tree. Yes there is a link to the pagan yule log, a phallic symbol. However that being said..... Our lord Jesus was crucified on a tree. Something to think about. We need to know what we are celebrating. Do it with purpose and intention. Reject the unholy. I would have to think intention and purpose are things that shouldn't be taken lightly. The line in jer chapter 10 where they say that, "they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not," made me think of no other holiday. Plus we are warned to not learn the ways of the heathen. Ive read in early America, Christmas celebrations were illegal because in Europe it was about public drunkenness and debauchery. They wanted to seperate themselves with he unholy practices of the British. The books of Charles Dickens ended that.... Eventually the public demanded the celebrations.

I differ on your Christmas message... Let Jesus Christ be the judge

[@maryjoy2266]

Sir. You video came across in my you tube. While listening to your explanation I think I will contradict with what you said that celebrating Christmas is fine. Because as you said we need to go deeper into the Biblical teachings of God. When I was not save by the Lord I used to celebrate it without knowing any revelation or insight about it .., but when I got save with the prompting of the Holy Spirit , I used not to celebrate Christmas, not because of the influence of the videos and other things but it was the revelation of the Holy Spirit as God said everyone who receives Jesus Lord and thier savior will know the Father, you will know the truth and truth the truth will set you free. If the Son set you free, you will be free indeed. Our God is spirit and we should walk in Spirit and in truth. The point is, " Is Christmas or the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ should be celebrate and commanded by God? In the Bible? " Especially in the new testament, there is nowhere to be found that God instruct us or have celebration to celebrate His birth. Except to go and make disciple and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even His disciple did not celebrate it. Why we should do it ? God's words are all Holy, If it is not written in the Bible, we should not do it. As He said, " Be Holy for I am Holy. " And be ye seperate among them. And another thing, The birth of our Messiah will never be coincide with other paganism birth belief etc. That is why the devil is a liar! He is a deceiver. If he cannot stop the children of God reading the truth or the bible, he will do it by decieving them in rituals or other traditional practices that are out of the context of the Bible. Remember why Adam and Eve was deceived by the serpent in the garden. We should learn from it. If you read the old testament, the scripture written about the Holidays that the Jewish, should celebrate for a lifetime and it is clear, like Yum Kippur ,day of atonement and others. We are now in the teachings of New Testament and New covenant, that is why we are in Christ, His followers. Everything that is not written or commanded by God in the Bible is obviously not from God. What am saying is not to condemned or judge but to give enlightenment. Jesus is coming soon. Our father is Spirit and we should walk in Spirit and truth. If God wants us to celebrate is to celebrate the repented soul who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. as He said the Angels are celebrating one sinner who repent. We cannot comprehend the wisdom of God but only His true Children will discern His voice, His ways and His truth. God bless you and I hope this will give you enlighten. It is appointed to man to die once and then judgement and we will all be accountable of our deeds for Christ. Let us do our best to be worthy of His calling , Holy and Blameless. Jesus is coming soon. Be humble Repent! 🙏 Seek Him while He may be found. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. May the Lord Have Mercy on us! And our generation.

[@TiffShuttlesworth]

As I stated in this teaching, if you have convictions about not celebrating Christmas, then feel free not to.

[@maryjoy2266]

But we should be one in Spirit and Our God is one. Not the other one is celebrating and the other one is not . Isn't it the cause of division. We should have Unity. We should stand firm in truth and rebuke each other. Like you Pastor, you influenced a lot by using your authority to correct what is wrong. Thousands or millions of people might watch your episode , imagine those souls you are accountable with. It is not too late. God discipline and correct whom He love. I pray that the Almighty God will speak to you in His revelations today and lead you into obedience in Christ.

[@maryjoy2266]

I will be praying for you and your entire family. God Bless you! And may revival come upon on God's true church. He loves us and His grace extends but our God is Judge and in Him lies does not exist. We should walk in a manner of truth the whole truth and not be a lukewarm Christians but real godly Christians. He knows you by your name and He has a calling for you since you were young and seperated you from the world. The Bible is our final authority and nothing else. With all your respect Sir I am here not to judge you again but to share the wisdom and knowledge from up above as I feel urge to say this to you. This I just give you still the authority as a man in your position and calling but praying in Spirit that the truth of God will always prevail. Love God with all your heart , with all your soul and with all your strenght.

[@anna4lease587]

I dont understand that shouldnt christians be doing the same thing ? Wouldnt it be easy to beleive and celebrate according to ones family traditions ? I would imagine it would be, just asking ?

[@maryjoy2266]

@@anna4lease587 I think it is better...to know the will of God. Reading His words is the answer for everything. We should be obedient into Him and the scriptures are holy as well His command. When you do read the word of God He will guide you and teach you and even give you discernment. I pray that God will give you wisdom. God bless you

[@natachalacroix5641]

Where in the bible said that Jesus was born in December please ?

[@gardenjoy5223]

Nowhere. But since He is the Light of the World, it's not a month and date badly chosen, now is it? Let's celebrate God's greatest gift to us! Christians, who do not celebrate Christmas, just confuse non-Christians. And I get that. But what the USA made out of Christmas, often is a far cry from celebrating Christ. So by all means, don't celebrate 'Santa Claus' and keep those things out and away. Instead show angels and trumpets and stars. Show churches and church bells and mangers. Help the unsaved understand, that it's all about Christ! THE Gift to the world. Then there's no harm in giving each other gifts in moderation. Whereas Christians again should lead in gifting the forgotten. But that, we really must do all year long. Whatever you do or say, let it glorify God. As Paul was to all men, what they needed him to be, a Greek with the Greek and a Jew with the Jews, so we must translate God's love in every possible way to the world. Most certainly not by condemning other Christians for their form of celebrating Christmas. May God bless us all in this festive time of the year and help us include others in His love.

The First and most Important question is: Where in the Bible Old Testament or New can you clearly show or prove that God has told Jews or Christians to celebrate Christmas and how does Christmas have anything to do at all with the Time and Birth of Yeshua?

[@atstafford10]

Coincide: to occupy exactly corresponding or EQUAL in force, amount, or valued positions. As hard as you try, you cannot Christianize paganism. Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen. (Jeremiah 10:2)

[@namisalisk7446]

First of all am not against celebrating the birth of Christ but why december when like man of God said coincides with pagan festivals?. There is no where also in the bible where we are instructed to celebrate the birth of Christ on the 25th december. We are told in the bible to celebrate passover and the Lords super. It's also an expensive event. It's so commercial. The money spent on this festival can be given to people who are in a difficult position. A rabbi also said that lambs were born in spring. Shepherds can't sit on the grond in winter!!!. There is too much compromise these days by Christians. I like and honour this man of God and listen to His teaching regularly. But when it comes to Christmas and easter I disagree. It's also came into existence through the catholics. Christmas = Christ +mass. Early Christians never celebrated Christmas, there is evidence of it on Internet. I led my mother, siblings, 4 children and granddaughter, family members, and friends to Christ by God's grace ❤. Blessings to everyone.

[@daisydavis953]

It's like the Sabbath. I think Sunday is the Sabbath but it is not. The Catholics have changed everything. If you do want to come Friday this Saturday is the Sabbath. God said remember it holy. Give me your opinion? Like I said I've got the bubble many times

Why not. To me it is celebrating jesus

[@danielguevara9234]

Christmas has nothing to do with God and using it for preaching is one thing but practicing it is another. We can use Halloween to preach or other pagan holidays but it does not take the fact away that God is displeased with us by doing things that are against him. Should we sin to gain a soul, if that is the case then are we loving man more than God. Christmass biggest sin is idolatry since it came from the Catholic church and not from the Bible this cannot be removed. What happens religiously in Christian home is the idolatry of "Baby Jesus." Jesus is not a baby anymore so we cannot worship him as such. The Bible forbids idols and we bring idols into our home and say that is "Baby Jesus", we lie to our kids and say that is Jesus birthday...Lies, idolatry and paganism is Christ-mass, pray about it and seek the Lord. Remember if it was truly a day commanded by God, it would be a day of repentance and self reflect like the Bible holidays.

The pathway to righteousness is narrow but the road to destruction is wide and the majority of people travel it so keep following the traditions of men and holidays and not the Holy days which are in Leviticus this is deception at its best

We are fighting against spiritual not physical, I heard a testimony from a brother in Christ, can’t remember that was before he was born against or after, when he bend down to get a presents from the tree, he heard a voice said to him ‘I got you’ as you have to kneel down to get the present. (That is unknowingly bow down) He never put the tree up again.

I used to celebrate Christmas as a child and when I first got saved! as I matured in relationship with Jesus and became a Pastor! and studied first century followers in Jesus! they were more concerned with reaching the lost for Jesus and the truth of the Kingdom Gospel! and Teaching who Jesus was and who we truly are as a human species! and came from!

[@yojimbo8695]

So what you saying is ignore the truth about December 25th. That's a very ignorant view. (1) Jesus wasn't born on December 25th. Jesus was born six month's after John the Baptist. (2) The Roman census records show that John the Baptist was born late March. (3) The God Mithra was born December 25th. So if Jesus Christ was born six month's after John the Baptist. Then your not celebrating the birth of Jesus. So this is a lie that your condoning. And that's not only a lie but your spitting in God's face and on his very first commandment. Why are you misleading people? This is deceitful. And your spreading discord among your followers. Why do you not want to teach the truth? Imagine a Christian minister that told the truth. Wouldn't that be a sight.

I wanted to do is tell the truth thank you for the word that your share and teach people

It not a sin to celebrate christmas. But bring the christmas tree in our churches and house's is, see Deut.7:25-26; ,belial, 2COR.6:15-18; And what concord has christ with belial? 2kin.17:9,10-16; ba'al, this is connected to a dream I had of a christmas tree in the attic of an old church that the Lord burned. Maybe you can answer me this, why would the Lord burn the christmas tree in my dream?
