Barristter07: I didn't give much attention to that Job from beginning because I thought @achorladey has done enough justice to that but I see you derive joy in your ignorance and delusion. Here is the verse in NIV "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them." Everyone can see the verse didn't say, the sisters don't hold their own birthdays but WHENEVER THEIR BROTHERS DID they'll be invited. Everyone knows Bible mostly silent on female issues but to satisfy your delusion you have to interject your own twisting theory. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Barristter07: Something is special because it's pagan origin! People celebrate Wedding , Jesus attended one. Who is talking about wedding or Jesus attended wedding? And people use rings on their hands. Show us the servants of God who put ring in their fingers Don't forget pharaoh gave Joseph a signet ring, And the same Pharaoh is viewed as god, that's wonderful. Yet Many Jews use rings on their fingers. So the idea of wearing rings have no condemnation. Can you show us where the idea of celebrating birthdays has condemnation? Show us one that did their birthday celebration ? Do you show us one that wear ring? In case you lost in your own delusion, let me recap for you. 1. Your point centered on Birthday has a pagan origin 2. Lev 18:3 asked the Israelites not to PRACTICE any of the Egyptian and Canaan customs. Now! 1. Wedding ring is a pagan practice as can be confirmed throughout history. Ancient Egypt: Ring of infinity Ancient Egyptians are said to have been the first to use rings in a wedding ceremony, as early as 3000 BC. Rings were made of braided hemp or reeds formed into a circle— the symbol of eternity, not only for the Egyptians, but many other ancient cultures. The hole in the ring’s center represented a gateway or door leading to future events. These rings were placed on the fourth finger of the left hand (known as the ring finger) as Egyptians believed a vein ran from that finger straight to the heart, and this practice is said to be the origins of many later traditions." Source Here 2. If the instruction of Lev 18:3 is that Israelites shouldn't put hands in any practices they see the Egyptians doing, and wedding ring originated from Egypt, then only a bias mind will contradict his own point of view here.

Barristter07:So you expect the Bible to tell you how Abraham Slept with Sarah? All the positions they did , and weather Abraham used contraceptive or not? If the answer is NO, than don't expect the Bible to tell us about women birthday becos it was not relevant to the subject which was about Job and his trials. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: Ecclesiastes 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; John 16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Ecclesiastes 11:8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. |

Barristter07: The Jews observed certain years as celebration and it was not counted a Sin. Deuteronomy 34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. Esther 9:27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; Esther 9:28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. |

Barristter07: Is mourning of Pagan origin? Because the Egyptians and Israelites did it. The Israelites also observed time. Genesis 50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. Genesis 50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, Genesis 50:10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. Leviticus 23:41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Numbers 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God. Numbers 20:29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. |

Thanks for quoting the book of our heritage Sir, so where is birthday celebration written as an example of what our spiritual family of ancient times did? Please we are not saying you can't read, cite or quote our book (Bible) but you can't find birthday celebration in the history of our people that's why modern day servants of JEHOVAH stopped the celebration of birthdays after discovering that it's no part of our heritage!

Emusan: Examine the highlighted which form the basis of this tradition. What connection does it have with pagan gods ? Compared with Birthdays that revered the birth of Pharaohs as god [Horus] , a pagan god. Delusion grandeur is when you assume the statement pagan origin means anything non believers do is wrong. Rather it means it has connection with a pagan god. |

Emusan:Rather see verse 5 . " When a period of feasting [by the sons, verse 4] had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified " A wise person could see here that this particular feast is strictly organized by the sons, which doesn't fit the narrative of a birthday which is for both men and women. Every year only this sons organize this feast. This is not birthday! 2 Likes |

Emusan: humans and angels are not called god Horus . I gave the source already. Egyptologist and bible Scholar Dr. James Hoffmeier comments: this birthday is referencing the subject [pharaoh ] coronation date, since that would have been the Pharaoh's "birth" as a god. Disprove that. Na pagan celebration you carry for head like gala. No single servant of God even do am. 2 Likes |

Why did Jesus Christ shun annual birthdays celebrations?

No where is it mentioned that birthday is wrong or becos of the Herod and Pharaoh No one should celebrate birthday. |

Janosky: Is amazing how you can lie or contradict yourself with same the mouth. If Christ is the end of the law, then why did Christ say the law would not pass away or be changed till Heaven and Earth pass away? Which Law is Christ referring to? Or the author of Colossians and Roman's referring to? If it is the same law than God's word is contradicting its self which is not possible. So Either you or Christ is confused and Liaring, of course I know it is you, becos your church has record of false teachings and doctrines. |
