Please list ALL biblical aspects of Christmas, if you can.

[Eph4:26]

I also feel a sense of urgently this year in light of what is taking place in Syria.

The coming of Christ, God Incarnate, the 2nd greatest event in the history of the universe, when God Himself intervened directly in human history.

Apparently not that big a deal in your economy.

Who cares? Or are you gonna regale us with stories of Mithras or some such fictional character who you believe owns that date?

Be real and acknowledge that you have no more idea when our Lord was born than you do about the day He will return. Your doctrine says He had to be born on the Feast of Booths, but nobody really cares about your doctrine.

And your doctrine proves you dont care anything about the bible. You will follow anything the RCC passed down and try to justify it as biblical.

Lets just celebrate the birth of Christ on Mohammed's Birthday too, since Gods word of do not worship him in the same manner the pagans worshiped their Gods mean nothing to you. While we are at it, we should find out when every major religions celebrate the birth of their God , hijack it and say this day will now honor Christ and just slap Jesus name on top of all the customs and traditions they do.

 

[SAAN]

Actually, it is not all that difficult to understand. Did Jesus Christ ask or command us to remember His birth? In what way did He command us to remember Him? Do we do that as He commanded us? Did the Apostles and early Christians remember the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25? Did they enjoy the beautiful white snow, candles, Christmas trees, etc,?

Dont forget the Apostles little helpers and the reindeer the Apostles used to get around to spread to gospel that time of year. They could have used mistletoe to lead folks to the Messiah and used the yule log to stay warm. Paul dressed as Santa too and spread the apostles tradition of shop til they drop to buy everyone a gift because the Messiah was born.
It all sounds so biblical

 

[Jipsah]

Yeah, im sure God said, to worship him, to go put a tree in the middle of your living room, decorate it, put presents under it and that will remember how Jesus was born.

Nope. I'm sure that God has told you not to rejoice at His coming in the flesh, and to instead to separate yourself from those observing His coming with worship and thanksgiving, and instead joining with the unbelieving world in denying that His coming was significant enough to bother celebrating.

Then remember the fat white guy that comes down your chimney with gift, his reindeer, his elves, the yule log, and all the commercialism...yeah all that sound really biblical

Never been to a Christmas service in a real church, have you? If so, you'd know better that to believe the drivel that you're posting.

 

[Jipsah]

Did He command the Heavenly Host to celebrate His birth? They did, didn't they? But as I have said before, if you don't believe that His coming is worthy of celebration, then don't celebrate. Play some video games or something suitably secular instead.

CryptonLutheran, I do appreciate your sincere reply.
In of itself, your reply is acceptable to me.
What enrages me is everything else associated with Christmas.

You wrote this back in 2014, and yet here you are having resurrected a thread from two years ago for the sole purpose of beating your favorite dead horse.

You have, over the years, seemingly regularly acquiesced that Christians who celebrate Christians can; but then you come back again and again like clockwork.

It's understandable when other, new people come around to raise this subject; but you've been regularly informed about why and in what way Christians celebrate the Feast of Christ's Nativity.

And yet, here you are again. And the same old arguments will rehashed again and again, and then you'll go and slink away to your Grinch lair for another year until you decide to come racing down to Whoville to shout bah humbug to everyone again. Rinse and repeat.

Actually experiencing a Christmas service would destroy the false narrative that some of our resident Grinches obsess over.

So how did the RCC pass down Christmas to the Eastern Orthodox?

Oh, that's right, in order for your false narrative to work you have to pretend the Eastern Churches don't exist.

[Jipsah]

And your doctrine proves you dont care anything about the bible.

Ah, I see. If you Care About The Bible, you celebrate the Feast of Booths and ignore the birth of Christ, the one Who created the Feast of Booths (and everything else).

So apparently, in your universe, the Bible cuts off just before Matthew, and anything after that is just Catholic propaganda. Right?

You will follow anything the RCC passed down and try to justify it as biblical.

Yeah, time to toss out Roman Catholic lies like the Trinity, the Virgin Birth, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection (Oh, y'all do explicitly refuse to celebrate the Resurrection, don't you? Just too Catholic for you, stick with the Passover, purely Jewish with none of those annoying Christian overtones.)

Lets just celebrate the birth of Christ on Mohammed's Birthday too

Or better yet, just join with the Muslims in acting as though the birth of Christ was of no importance. Oh, I forgot, that's just what you do. But again, you avoid the ghastly charge of doing something that Roman Catholics might do.

since Gods word of do not worship him in the same manner the pagans worshiped their Gods

So simply join with the pagans and not worship Him at all. Much safer that way.

Look, if you want to play at being Jewish, and wear sidelocks and keep the OT feasts and sacrifice livestock, and reject the entire New Testament and all that comes from it root and branch, got for it, and joy go with you. A few more unbelievers in the world won't make any difference. But spare us the posturing and blowing about how it's a Christian position to ignore the birth of our Lord. It's simply more "look at us, we're the Real Christians because we reject everything those other so-called Christians believe - including the Incarnation.

Find a real church (as opposed to Brother Bob's Full Gospel Noahide Oneness Pentecostal KJV-Only End-Times Tabernacle of Christ and General Store) and attend a "Lessons and Carols" service, or any service during Advent (pick a church where they know what Advent is), or, if you're brave enough, a Christmas service. You'll find it enlightening. That is, of course, unless it's actually all that Christian stuff you really object to, in which case, never mind.

They probably don't know that the Eastern Churches exist.

Listen up here. I am not on either side of this discussion, so don't rail at me. I merely attempted to explain to the reasons that some Christians choose not to engage in Christmas celebrations. And BTW, I have attended Christmas services in "real" churches.

Thanks for staying on topic.

Even though the topic is both ridiculous and mendacious.

For your information, I have been to MANY Christmas services!!!! And to be honest that same service could be held ANY other day of the week with the same exact message, not just 1 time of year.

And terms of service speaks AGAINST attacking other members, so cut the crap of calling people "resident Grinches" simply because they dont agree with your views, and have posted very valid question, and still has yet to get valid biblical answers.

For your information I AM A CHRISTIAN, ive just taken off the Modern Day Christianity goggles that blinded me and focus on being more biblical than following blind religious traditions that dont line up with the same book that Christians supposedly follow.

But Ill just ignore you from this point on, you are very annoying to deal with and you clearly dont read or understand your bible.

Ignore this guy. The fact that his profile pic has BLOOD DRINKER and just about all his replies are NEVER biblically backed, you cant take him serious on any serious scriptural matters.

I assume you mean "Tauren"?

I suppose World of Warcraft is also unbiblical. Ah well ...

Don't have to suppose.
The BIBLE is written in english these days.
