Christmas (December 25th) is taught to be the day that Jesus the Christ was born.
Who teaches that?
Some may say, "It does not matter when He was born. I am just celebrating His birth."; whereas others may say "Jesus is the reason for the season." Is that really the case? If Jesus is the reason for the season, then why didn't He let us know when to celebrate his birth? We claim we love Jesus so much but why don't we observe his death as he commanded us. Luke 22:19, "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and break it, and gave unto them, saying,This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."
Can you explain on celebrating His incarnation on a particular day when we don't know when in the calendar it happened is a violation or has anything to do with that quote, because I am not seeing it?
He commanded us to observe the Passover, not Easter, which is also a pagan holiday associated with wild sexual orgies.
I have never heard of a pagan holiday that was replaced by Easter, what was it called?
This is also very confusing to me - you argued against celebrating Christmas because you think Jesus commanded us not to celebrate Easter because He said to celebrate communion. Which, by the way, He said to do whenever we got together.
Jesus commanded us to observe the Holy Days in Leviticus the 23rd chapter but we ignore those days and observe traditions that have nothing to do with Jesus. In Matthew 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,[/font]
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Where does Jesus say to do as you claimed - to celebrate the OT feasts?
