Look at it this way: Christians come together to choose a date--that it was originally a pagan festival is irrelevant--to commemorate the date of the physical entry of their Lord and Savior in to the world, not following the pagan traditions that it originally symbolized through aimless merry making, but showing love to the unloved, feeding the hungry, reaching the unsaved, and other worthy ventures. Do you honestly believe those doing that will go to hell?

truthislight:

are the sited events/items use for worship? No.

So, you completely miss it.

Next time get the sense of what is at stake.

Birthday is a pegan event that celebrate/worship the spirit in charge of the day of one being born.

Worship is what Yahweh does not take for granted and Yahweh does not shear his worship.

Infact, Yahweh is a jealous God. QED tongue
Do u watch or participate in the olympics? Just to start with dat.

Then take your weapon to refute thoses claims..... You think the Pagans are happy you are trying to modify thier feast? ..... grin grin

You have to educate yourself with the scripture dear, try more!!

truthislight:

what has all this talk has to do with worship?

Are you guys so empty?

Dont you have value for spiritual things?

We are talking about mixing Yahweh's worship with pegan activities you are talking about olympics?

Birth day has to do with worship of a demon of the day of ones birth and all the days are named after pegan gods.

How can you please Yahweh with this sort of shallow knowledge of him?

You guys are like esau that did not show value/appreciate spiritual things.

Yahweh said dont mixed my worship with that of demon but that is what you are doing and bent on down.

Yahweh says dont have any thing to do with Demons but that is what you are doing with birth day celebrations.

Cant you see the danger that you are in or you have been so blinded?

Well, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
Do u participate in an olympic event or follow the olympic movement? Your response will determine my next respose.

Yous guys are partial in your jugdement. Somebody raised the issue of wedding gown and wedding ring etc and what you (truthlight and co) just said is that its not used for worship. Now tell me, how is my birthday used for worship since you guys termed it as pagan practice.
Re: Christians, Can You Trace The History Of Your Feastival......? by Rich4god(m): 11:53pm On Dec 26, 2012
Truthlyt and co... I need a verse or chapter in the bible where it written that it is a pagan practice to celebrate birthday.

You no get work na. Thats why you have 365days of the year to do nanny work. Some of us are very busy you know. That's why we don't joke with any extra days we can get to spend quality time with peeps we love.
cheesy cheesy
childs play in deed.

From your post so far on this thread that should be obvious. cool

plendil: I'm still struggling to understand the purpose of this thread.

For a start, I don't think any right thinking Christian will be under any illusion that the date used for Christmas was not originally a pagan festival. That has been proven beyond doubt. what I have issues with is using that as the reason for discouraging Christmas.

I asked OP where in the Bible it is said that celebrating birthdays is a sin, the best you could come up with is the fact that all those that did it were pagans?

I would have thought that the nature of the celebration and not the celebration itself would make the practice sinful.


birth day celebration glorifies the spirit incharge of the day one was born.

Think well befor you copy.

Its all about selectiv judgement. Condemn wat u hate and propagate wat u like. I raised the issue of olympics and non had been able to clarify dat. If the greece honoured their god, Zeus, with a sporting event y dnt papville and co condemn the present olympic event as an idol worship since it has it root in idolatory which can be proven by contemporary history, and even the present olympic signs and holograms.

Is present day olympic an idol worship (mr truthislight)?

There is wat is called a back-ground check in magt science. If im a writer, an atheist as well, i write an article on a whole lot of issue on xtain religion i will definitely be biased cos im going to tailor my argument on my belief system. Obviosly i will nullify the existence of God, the virgin birth of christ (cos its not scientific), i will nullify the moses miracle of parting the red sea (not scientific), and i wont beleieve in xmas.

Ok if i write a book dat covers a wide range of topics dat includes my view on xmas (since i dnt even believe in God), papville and co will now use me as an authority to prove a point, is it not biase? Cos papville believs in God and i dnt even in God and she quotes me as an authority in a topic dat covers xmas.

Papvile pls share the link with us and let us do a background check on the author and his general belief on religios matter. If u cant do dat dat means u t not a sincere person.

Only when you are guilty will your mind be worried when you are accessed. By the way, where is the link/source of the above.... ?

That the bible recorded only pagans celebrating birthday does not mean that its pagan worship for someone to celebrate his own birthday.

There is more than enough in the Bible to follow, why adding to it's God is all knowing, if birthday would please Him, King David, ABraham, MOses etc...would have key this example..... Read mark 7:6-8 Jesus warns us not to follow men traditions. Christmas is one of men tradition no??

If the bible not mentioning not a single birthday of a servant of God but that of pagans is not enough reason why one shouldn't engage in observing his/her own birthday then you need to do a re-evaluation of your trust in the bible..............why would the bible omit the birth dates of servants of God including Jesus,but will record down the birthdays celebrated by pagans??..............


Only pagans who never had a future celebrated there birthdays....for true servants of God the day of death would always be better than the day of ones birth.....because this life isn't all there is.........

You guys because of satisfying your birthday desires , projected such non-biblical acts on Jesus...............Jesus does not need his birthday celebrated...he is a king in heaven and our high priest ready to carry out judgement soon on the wordly........focus on the more important things and discard this pagan celebration called xmas........it has no dealing with our Lord.........I expect you guys who even assume Jesus to be the almighty God(though wrong from the scriptures) to be ashamed of yourselves.....how can you celebrate the birthday of the almighty God......??.......smh!!!...its a shame!!!!!!!

well, its like human wants to force their creator Yahweh to accept whatever they want.

But that will be impossible since he can destroy the whole human race and create another.

He once told moses that he should destroy the whole nation of israel in the wilderness and raise moses children to serve him.

Btw. You that stick to that pastor to pray for you and all, do you think that Yahweh accepts his prayers?
if you feel

No such doctrine/practice in this church. Prayers are said individually according to how The spirit of God leads during service.
