I believe everything too quickly

[123flower]

I was wondering why I believe everything so quickly. Like for example, I’ve just found out that Christmas has a heathen origin and I’ve research it. Immediatly I felt it was true and therefore it was bad to celebrate christmas. I’ve told it to my husband and he got angry and defended christmas.

I must also tell I have OCD,anxiety and am pretty sensitive as a person. Does that might have anything to do with it?

It's not uncommon to be tossed about with every wind of doctrine, something that we all struggle with. I'm not big on celebrating Christmas, but it does bring a little joy to my wife in the cold winter months. What the Lord showed me is this: whether you celebrate it or not, do it as unto the Lord. You don't want to let it divide you. If your husband enjoys it, you might consider keeping the tradition just to please him.

Christmas is a day Christians have chosen to celebrate the birth of Christ. It’s a spiritual, celebratory season, and it can be celebrated in a way that honors the Lord. Don’t let Pharisees keep you from celebrating the nativity and Christ’s birth.


I can’t tell you why you believe things quickly, but I can tell you that the book of James tells us that if we ask the Lord for wisdom he will give it to us abundantly. So that’s good news! Ask and you will receive this wisdom.

Maybe you can modulate your response. You can eliminate the pagan aspects of Christmas celebration but keep the true aspects of it. I remember walking in a mall, in wonderment that the Gospel was being played over the sound system by way of the music. So there is good in it. I used to be very anti-Christmas but have moderate my position. I just avoid the worldly extremes and enjoy what is good, while knowing that every day contains the reality of Christmas, Resurrection Sunday, etc. Give Colossians 2 a read concerning our liberty in this regard.
