I laugh at all of your ramblings.

Almost all of the apostles made note of how Jesus came on the earth, and how he was born. We even read that the wise men came and gave PRESENTS to Jesus on his day of birth. They celebrated His birthday.

So why is it wrong to celebrate birthdays? Personally I don't know why. I think it is a good occasion to come together with friends and family to be happy about life, sing hymns to God, pray to God, and enjoy life like God made life to be enjoyed. God didn't say THOU SHALT NOT ENJOY LIFE. THOU SHALT NOT CELEBRATE. He made exceptions and listed out sins that shouldn't be committed when "enjoying life", but He never said it was wrong. Neither should we.

Think about it.

As astrologers, they were servants of false gods and were, wittingly or unwittingly, led by what appeared to them as a moving “star.” They alerted Herod to the fact that the “king of the Jews” had been born, and Herod, in turn, sought to have Jesus killed. The plot, however, failed. GOD intervened and proved superior to the demon gods of the astrologers, so instead of returning to Herod, the astrologers headed home another way after being given “divine warning in a dream.”—Mt 2:2, 12.

And yea, I knew that there weren't three of them and that they came a year late. The point is that there is nothing wrong with giving presents, or celebrating. Jesus celebrated all the time, and utilized those opportunities to preach to laymen.

@ Abuzola and your pseudonym freelinks- That you have an opinion doesn't mean its a FACT. Why do you feel the need to force your beliefs down EVERYONE's throat? Why do christians celebrate their birthdays? the question should have been why do PEOPLE celebrate their birthdays because the last time i checked PAGANS, MUSLIMS, JEWS, CHRISTIANS, ATHEISTS, THE WHOLE SHEBANG celebrate their birthdays

Lest I forget, aren't you in your period of fast? Don't be expending your meagre energy levels online.
