A lot of people celebrate Christmas, I have MANY friends and family who are not believers at all but love Christmas and keep it because it's fun and a family tradition and that's the only reason they will give for celebrating it. In Him, Rain

Ok. In Him, Rain

I have to get back to this because it speaks volumes... Jesus is by all modern labels a Jew, circumsized the eigth day of the line of Judah, He died under the label "the King of the Jews." He NEVER claimed to be anything other then Jewish. He kept the Biblical Holy Days, He ate Biblically...

Hit the nail on the head... again! In Him, Rain

Amen! In Him, Rain

You seem to think this is about Hislop but it's not, I've never read his books, excerpts here and there sure but not one book. However, I do read the Bible and this is about getting Biblical. Can you provide any evidence in the Bible for cutting down trees, decorating them and placing gifts...

I bet everyone on this forum will be celebrating the Messiah this Saturday, remembering His birth, ministry, death and resurrection can be done WITHOUT doing Christmas. I know I will. In Him, Rain

I did read the link you sent, interesting explanation. Comparing fellowship between believers on the internet with pagan worship rituals is really a weak argument don't you think? Of course the Bible doesn't tell us about the internet, television sets, diapers, tooth paste etc. but it does...

I agree, even the catholic church acknowledges that Christmas itself is pagan in origin, we can all find this online in the Catholic Encyclopedia. In Him, Rain
