But is Celebrating Christmas a sin?

Kobojunkie:
Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with God or the things of God as it is against God to do anything which He has not commanded in His Name.

So, it is a sin to celebrate Christmas as if in the name of God. However, it is not a sin to celebrate the holiday as if a pagan holiday - no direct reference to God or His name.

DappaD:

Quick question. Is the celebration of Christmas scriptural ?

MaxInDHouse:
Excellent!
This means nobody will question the holiday once it's not linked to the God of Israel who has principles as found written in His word Bible!

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid you need to understand God in order to understand why it ought to be so.

God hates it when men pretend they can do that which He never command in His name. Doing so is akin to adding rules to God's Law and agreement - no man has authority to do so on behalf of God.

God never commanded our celebration of Christmas in His name and so it is a sin to celebrate Christmas in God's name.

So does this mean that we should never celebrate anything that God has not decreed? No. It means we can celebrate anything we want to so long as we don't go around dragging God's name into it as if to suggest it is decreed by Him. Christmas was not decreed by God and so it is a pagan holiday, much like every other holiday out there - God did not decree any holidays for us in His Law, Jesus Christ. So we are free to celebrate any holiday without appending the name of God to it

Faithworld1:

You determine what is sin on God's behalf? Weldon.

Kobojunkie:
No, God already did that for us 2000 years ago.

You see, God is God of Laws, and Jesus Christ happens to be God's Law and agreement between God and individuals, the Covenant God makes with everyone who chooses to believe and accept to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Under the New Covenant Law that is Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ gave to His followers about 100 laws to live by. The terms and conditions of this New Covenant agreement are as documented in the 4 Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. One of such laws/commandments decrees it sin to add, change or even remove commandment /law from God's Law as given us in the teachings and command of Jesus Christ - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13

---

So, as I said, God never commanded our celebration of Christmas in His name and so it is a sin to celebrate Christmas in God's name - you cannot add to God's Law.

Now, it is also sin to decree it a sin to, in the name of God, decree it sin to celebrate Christmas. Again, this because God also never said that. The key is keep the name of God out of things that are not of God.

Jesus Christ means DON'T do it !
Matthew 28:20, " teaching them to OBEY EVERYTHING I commanded you"

Is Christmas included in Matthew 28:20?

Some persons dey vex for this post.
Their vexation can NEVER delete Matthew 28:20 from their Bibles.
They know themselves

jmoore:
Did Jesus command you to use internet?

Steep:
1. Do you know that almost every day of the week is dedicated to an idol, even you cars, phones, perfumes, clothes, shoes etc carry pagan symbols, you can as well leave this earth because even the cities towns, villages you live in were once dedicated to idols.

2. what some of you don't understand is that once we dedicate anything to the name of the Lord that thing becomes pure, when we celebrate Christmas in Jesus name then Christmas becomes pure provided we keep it holy.
Anything we don't dedicate to the Lord is unholy.

There you have your answers.

Matthew 28:20,did Jesus command jmoore to teach and celebrate Christmas?
You know Jesus attended a marriage celebration.
Bros, which birthday celebration did Jesus Christ attend?

Janosky:

Daniel 12:4

"But you, Daniel, keep these words secret, and seal the book until the end times. Many will travel everywhere, and knowledge will grow."

Proverbs 18:15
"15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out"
.
Is God against the growth and proliferation of knowledge?

Didn't notice a lot was going on here. A should is not a must. People should be allowed to make their choices. Don't be God's judge representative.

Simple question and you are writing epistle.

Did Jesus command you to use internet?

Daniel 12:4 is Jesus against the proliferation of knowledge via the internet?


Daniel 12:4
Many will travel everywhere, and knowledge will grow."

Daniel 12:4 is far beyond your level of comprehension.

If you really mean the underlined then why do you ask the below question?



Once you've made your decision try to allow others who care to know the truth from God's word, faith in God is not about doing whatever anyone likes but what is in accord with God's word! John 8:32

Kobojunkie:
God already gave you the answer to your question over 2000 years ago. That you still don't know the answer means you don't know God at all. You need to take time to learn of the God who you claim to believe in and of His Will/Covenant, Jesus Christ, which He gave you 2000 years ago.

Faithworld1:

The discussion has been for a while and we have learnt a lot. Should you force someone to believe your position on a matter? I don't think so. It's all about choices and even God allows people to make choices, the outcome is the case.
You have made your point, that find. Let it be.

Faithworld1:

I am sure you know the answer. Allow others to rest. Shalom.

MaxInDHouse:


The highlighted is an evidence that the God you're talking about differs from mine.
Regarding pagan customs my own God doesn't allow for options He orders all His own to reject it completely! 1Corinthians 10:18-22

Thanks!
