Again, where is the prohibition? How far do you extend this principle of doing nothing the Apostles didn't do? Do you live in a community where you share all things in common and if not don't you go against what the Apostles did?
I see nowhere in scripture where the Church isn't free to decide upon it's liturgical year. I would also point out that the Christian Pascha is derived from the Jewish one, albeit we put the focus on Jesus Christ rather than the Exodus.
I would also point out, the celebration of the birth of Christ is not a mere birthday. It is a celebration of our salvation being born into the world and a time for reflection on such. If we go by this standard it would be improper to have sunday dedicated to the entrance of the Lord into Jerusalem. Or a Sunday of the Prodigal son.
Can you point me to a scripture that says it is sinful to worship on Christmas? Or to consider the incarnation on that day?
Here
Colossians 2:
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2 Thess 2:
15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Do not follow the traditions of men, if you want more verses for this point read the ones I posted in my original post on this thread.
If you read brother it said they chose to do it, it was not by command but rather I decision of conscience and mutual love and faith in Christ. Though if I knew enough believers who would like to do that exact thing I would do it in heartbeat, until then that is not an option for me. But again it is simply an option not a command.
Was it kept and taught by the Apostles and Christ? If not we do not keep it. Again the question is can you show the command for this tradition to be kept?
It is not a birthday, it is a birthday aniversary. Which has only ever been a custom of Pagans as shown in Scripture(Genesis 40:20-22; Matt 14:6). If Christ is not born again each year into this world then it is the custom of Birthday anniversaries that you are proposing and not a birthday celebration(on the actual day of birth). Now if you would like to Glory in the fact that God was born into this world do it everyday and not limit the Glory of God's birth to a single day of the year. A day which is not written, and is not known to begin with, a day which whose anniversary is not commanded to be kept. Show that he was born and died everyday and give glory to those facts always, stop limiting the Lord's work.
Only one specific custom/tradition is commanded to be kept in remembrance of Christ and that is the Lord's supper(1 Cor 11). Otherwise give glory and praise to the Lord in preaching, teaching, and proclaiming all that he did every day of the year without limitation as that is what the Apostles did and taught.
Brother they preached fully the doctrine and traditions that we are to kept, they made all things that are to be done fully known to us. And as I am sure you know the celebration of Christmas is not even spoken of as something to be kept by them. That it was not spoken of by them, and that it exists today means only that it came not from God but from men and from the world.
If you can show in God's word where it says to keep these customs then there is a cause to keep them, if you cannot then there exists no basis to keep them.
