Interesting, Eph. Utter nonsense, but interesting all the same.Theology of Christmas has the following characteristics:
1. An oral tradition passed down from the previous generation; for Catholics dating back to the mid-fourth century, Protestants back to the mid-nineteenth century.
2. Feelings of melancholy and euphoria at the time of the winter solstice.
3. A faith in Christmas is right because an organized religious institute says so and secular society accepts it.
4. Willful disregard for what Scripture teaches regarding celebrating birthdays or embracing pagan holidays.
What I find even more interesting is the Christian sects who seem to insist on mining the Old Testament to find new "laws" to try and bind Christians with, and to try and make their particular novel beliefs seem "better" than what Christians as a whole believe. The disturbing part of that is that those folks (and yes, it appears to me that you're one of them) seem to set more store by Judaism than they do by Christianity. They insist that the OT feasts that were merely foreshadowings of the coming of our Lord and Savior should be observed, but preuly Christian feasts that revolve around the Risen Lord Himself are, and should be, verboten. Their "proofs" for their positions generally boil down to "if it isn't in the Law it's pagan and thus forbidden", which is probably a valid position if you're a Jew, but one that's passing strange for someone living under the New testament of our Lord Jesus Christ.
My question is this: if you want to be a Jew, then why not simply become one and leave off all the pseudo-Christian posturing? Wouldn't that simplify things for you tremendously?
