Janosky: The simple answer you have decided to choose from question raised is ........I BACKTRACK. Why? According to you: 1. The occasion of the feasting referred to in Job 1:4 is not clear Meaning the feasting done by Job's sons could be for birthdays. Therefore, show us where Jehovah hated them for doing so? 2. As the seven days appear to have been consecutive, they could hardly have been birthdays. When I want to speculation or make assumptions what word will come up for such....... COULD. That's the all I needed here. I told you earlier in the first response to your reference material from your organization that the writer based the ban on birthdays based on speculations, suppositions and assumptions that have open ends. That is why he decided to go to Genesis 40:20 than see Job 3:1 where the same his day was used. The his day refers to day of birth Your image tells you it is a strange construct and learn to use the familiar and simpler day of birth aka his day Hope you understand what is going on here? Job sef, no too trust children say them no commit As if you trust yourself enough not to pray to your Jehovah to forgive your sins even in cases you are not aware you had sinned Here is what CALEB had to say about eating what was used to celebrate birthdays with his friends in those Caleb videos you love to watch. Caleb asked: " what if Jehovah does not want to be my friend anymore The question becomes where does Jehovah say he is not friends with those who celebrated their day of birth? 1 Like |

Don't worry yourself my friend! You don't need all this stress. You can't be arguing in support of Sabbath as if it's compulsory while your fellow birthday celebrators don't agree nah! What you asked is about birthday and from all indications there is not a single worshiper of God mentioned celebrating BIRTHDAY nevertheless you feel like celebrating your birth with your cohorts who don't agree with your view regarding Sabbath. That's why i reminded you of the great chasm fixed between our people and your people. So keep your heritage while we keep ours! blueAgent: |

achorladey:Achorladey, you are NOT honest, one bit. You are here claiming "speculation" & na you start speculation with Job 1:4 to advance your DUBIOUS claims. Job 3:1-3 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 He said: 3 “May the day of my birth perish, and the night that said, ‘A boy is conceived!" The context of Job 3:1-3 & Job1:4-5 is different . Did Job tell you his children celebrated birthdays? Job 3:1-3, did Job tell you him celebrate his birthdays? The holy Scriptures as well as "Hebrew language detective website" says Achorladey is LYING. 1 Like |

Janosky, you amuse me. Do you think any of these people care a bit about what the scriptures says? Come on brother they're just like my uncle who practice traditional religions. Can you believe he actually quoted the added verses where it was said that Jesus was using his finger to write something in the sand to contact IFÁ (Oracle) on how to reply those trying to kill an adulterous woman? So these people will forget KJV today today if any translator could add a verse to support birthday in his version! Janosky: |

After citing scripture from 3 different translation to show you the usage of the word his day. You came back with I am not honest . I didn't even go about looking for reference materials you have used so far loaded with words used in making assumptions, suppositions and speculations. Reference materials splitting birth and day .

Emusan: When Logic fail you, it becomes a twisted truth. I presented evidence that the western wedding rings traced back to the Greeks and Romans, not as part of a false worship or dedication to a strange god, but a symbol of Marital Union , the same way a signet Ring given to Joseph by a pagan King signifies authority.

" As supreme ruler of the people, the pharaoh was considered a god on earth, the intermediary between the gods and the people. When the pharaoh came to the throne he was instantly associated with Horus - the god who had defeated the forces of chaos and restored order - and when he died, he was associated with Osiris, the god of the dead." - PHARAOH , World History Encyclopedia In light of the above . See the below Origin of birthdays " The oldest reference to birthdays found in history goes back to ancient Egypt. When pharaohs were crowned in ancient Egypt they were considered to have transformed into gods. This divine promotion made their coronation date much more important than their birth into the world, so they were basically celebrating the Pharaoh’s “birth” as a god.

See the above quotes
You are celebrating something whose origin has to do with connections with pagan gods, customs God banned the Israelites from partaking of. Definitely birthdays is not the point of Romans 14:5,6 . The text is not for festivals dedicated to a strange god as you confessed earlier . 1 Like |

Barristter07: Fake answer as usual. Go and read Bible commentary The bible is not a story book that would tell us every details the most important information has been passed and that is the Sons of Job celebrated their birthdays and it was never mentioned as a sin. Benson Commentary Job 1:4. His sons went and feasted in their houses — Or made a family feast, to testify and maintain their brotherly love. Every one his day — Not every day of the week and of the year, which would have been burdensome to them all, and gross luxury, and which certainly such a holy man as Job would not have permitted; but each his appointed day, perhaps his birth- day, or the first day of the month. It is certain the same expression, יומו, jomo, his day, means his birth-day, Job 3:1. “The verse,” says Dr. Dodd, “might be rendered, And his sons had a constant custom to make a family feast, every one on his birth-day; and they sent and invited their three sisters,” &c. According to Herodotus, the inhabitants of the East in general, and especially the Persians, were remarkable for celebrating their birthdays with great festivity and luxury. 1 Like |

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. |

blueAgent: Nobody is in competition with you for quote of Scriptures . Thanks for sharing Matthew 5:17-18, your reference point. Jesus Christ fulfilled and abolished the law. If the law were in force, you would be offering ram and pigeon to atone for your sins. Galatians 3:13,23-25 * Colossians 3:13-16 You were dead because of your sins, that is, because of your “foreskin,” your old nature. But God made you alive along with the Messiah by forgiving you all your sins. 14 He wiped away the bill of charges against us. Because of the regulations, it stood as a testimony against us; but he removed it by nailing it to the execution-stake. [/b]15 Stripping the rulers and authorities of their power, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by means of the stake. [b]16 So don’t let anyone pass judgment on you in connection with eating and drinking, or in regard to a Jewish festival or Rosh-Hodesh or Shabbat" * Romans10:4 "Christ is the end of the law" Pronto ! |

blueAgent: You're still not getting it. No follower of Jesus or Servant of the true God, not even Jesus Christ himself, had any connection with annual birthdays celebrations. Did mary Mary and Joseph celebrate Jesus 1st year birthday till he died or they had posthumous birthdays celebrations for him? Did Jesus not know that king Herod had birthdays celebrations? Did he do his own birthday celebrations? . Your Bible says Jesus Christ ended the Law plus the Sabbath. Colossians 3:13-16. Romans10:4. Gal 3:13,23-25 . |

Barristter07: So shameful that, your twisted lying tongue was exposed but you couldn't admit it. You even have audacity to repeat the WESTERN WEDDING RING nonsense. You rush to Lev 18:3 which says "So don’t follow the customs of Egypt where you used to live or those of Canaan where I am bringing you." To drive your point that since Birthday originated from Egypt then God has warned Israelites shouldn't FOLLOW ANY OF THEIR PRACTICES. Even the son called WESTERN WEDDING RING from Greek & Romans, remember they are part of CANAAN mentioned above. But everyone knows WEDDING RING originated from Egypt. So Lev 18:3 should be applied here. 1 Like |
