And to not simply ignore, but rail against, the feasts oif the Church honoring our Lord Christ.
Like that all-important "high day", Halloween <ROFL> My wife, who comes from Korea, where's no custom similar to Halloween, described it as "the stupidest holiday I ever heard of". But in fact it isn't a holiday, officially or otherwise. The only people who even claim to believe it is are the so-called pagans, but even with them it's just an excue for a party. The claim that it's an importamt "High Day" is simply ridiculous.
Which ones?
Leaving no youtube video unwatched, I'm sure.
Not even close. It's fraudulent "history" and anti-catholic whoop-whoop, unworthy of any serious Christian.
No, what you were doing was repeating mendacious rubbish contrived by people who reject most if not all of the core beliefs of the Church, and who follow their own made-up Judaism-and-water pseudo-Christian religion. It's right up there with the stuff peddled by the JWs and Mormons.
Recorded. Right. Does that mean that no one had ever taken though to commemorate the birth of our Lord, as though it was some mundane, everyday event? Hogwash.
The piont of your "truth" is to denigrate the celebration of Christian feasts honoring our Lord Christ. How you can possibly believe that to be a good thing is beyond my understanding, unless you actually believe that our Lord's birth and resurrection were really "No Big Things", in which case you have a radically differ "Christanity" than I care to associate with.
That is an altogether absurd belief. But I'm open to persuasion, give me some evidence of such a novel accusation.. In writing, please, and preferably something dating back prior to the invention of Youtube. I say it's false, as is pretty much everything you believe.
Actually He did, by being born to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Bethleham.
I have. If you have a New Testament, take a look in the Gospel of Luke and see who who celebrated His birth.
I was being charitable.
That means not to post on internet forums. Repent, miscreant!
When did He invite Gentiles?
Which is why we celebrate His birth, and you choose to ignore it, or worse, forbid believers to celebrate it.
Seems to me yiou reject the New Covenant altogether, preferring a bowdlerized version of Judaism
False accusation again. We celebrate the coming of our Lord. You pretend it was'n't important. You share the same view as The World. The birth of Christ was No Big Thing, to them, or you. They see it as an occasion to party, you see it as an ocvcasion to ignore. You both refuse to see it as a day to rejoice in our Lord Christ. Their worship of material; things doesn't permit it, and neither does you phony neo-Judaism.
You religion is neither fish nor fowl. It's a chopped down version of Judaism, and a redacted version of Christianity. You can't deal with God Coming in the flesh. So you construct a world in which God was born, said some nice things, was killed by people who misunderstood Him, and may or may not have risen from the dead (which was No Big Deal either).
To embrce a made-up-from-whole-cloth less offensive pseudo-Christianity.
That's nice. Just as long as we don't get crazy and think He Himself was made flesh and dwelt among us, right?
Except insofar as He was both, and when He returned from th Dead. No honoring and celebrating those events. "Come and adore Him, born the Kind of Angels1" No proclaiming "He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!" That's just too much, right? I mean, let's not go to extremes, rigjht?
Except the one you follow, and peddle on the net.
So make your own tradition. "Christians" Against Christianity. "Sorry, but the Jews didn't do that, so we can't either. Of coiurse, that includes worshipping the Risen Lord, doesn't it?
KInd of a rash statement coming from you, innit? But I see a "But..." coming...
If? He did. It;s in the New Testament, so you may have missed it.,
Stop me if you've heard this:
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Who is "the "WORD"?
Who is "the Word" whose birth you'd forbid us to celebrate?
You have done nothing else. In fact, that's the whole point of this thread, innt?
That appears to be something of your own making.
But you'd have an end of that gladness at our Lord's coming, wouldn't you?
Like Halloween <ROFL>
No feast necessary for our Lord's Resurrection, the single most important day in the history of the universe, right? No Big Deal. Don't you dare celebrate it. No greeting peple with "He is Risen!" or answering "He is Risen indeed!"
High Day. Roman Catholics. Some other rubbish. Can't worshp Christ today. No nononono...
I'll chuck that back at you. Do you reckon our Lord Christ did or said anything important while He was here, anything worth remembering and celebrating? If so I'd be keen to hear it. We're not supposed to celebrate His birth, we're not supposed to celebrate His Resurrection. You reckon He did anything important enough to celebrate?
Apparently from the standpoint of your version of quasi-Jewish neo-Christianity, no. No act of God worth noting or celebrating.
Your religion isn't one I find any truth in at all. Lot of heretics have contrived better ones.
