Were they celebrating him?
Come on my friend, they brought gifts to a child whose supposed star they saw from afar.
Was it his birthday?

OH!!! they followed star which led them to the birth place of Jesus.

Which means they were pagans looking for a pagan god according to your logic, since pagans fellow stars and observe seasons.

Astrologers are people who read stars, omen, fortunetellers that God condemned in his laws given to the nation of Israel, so Satan is the Mastermind behind the star that brought those people from Babylon (pagan nation), Satan first led them to Herod the great who doesn't want to hear about some king coming to dethrone him.
After Satan has lead his agents to the person who will kill baby Jesus out of jealousy, Satan now led them to the house where the child is laid.
So everything that happened with that Star was Satan's plan to kill baby Jesus. But blindfolded Churchgoers like you whose eyes can't see anything apart from Christmas food and gifts can't grasp that because the only thing that matters to novice of your type is the GIFT!

" ... put a ring on his hand " Luke 15:22

What's special about rings?

People celebrate Wedding , Jesus attended one. And people use rings on their hands. Don't forget pharaoh gave Joseph a signet ring, Yet Many Jews use rings on their fingers. So the idea of wearing rings have no condemnation.

Show us one that did their birthday celebration ?

The below is cut out from your post.....


So the idea of wearing rings have no condemnation

Now see the below obtained from the books "REVELATION- THE GRAND CLIMAX IS AT HAND" 2006 as at then when many members of your organization used ring in marriage. The below is what your religious leaders were teaching you.........


Indicating the non-Christian origin of many of apostate Christendom’s doctrines, ceremonies, and practices, 19th-century Roman Catholic cardinal John Henry Newman wrote in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine: “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [the song “Lord, Have Mercy”], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.”

Rather than sanctify such idolatry, “Jehovah the Almighty” admonishes Christians: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves, . . . and quit touching the unclean thing.”​—2 Corinthians 6:14-18...... The book of Revelation (2006)


After reading the above

1. Tell us where ring in marriage came from according to what your religious leaders were trying to teach you and the organization you belong?

2. What did your religious leaders say you should do for all those practices and doctrines mentioned up there?

3. Do your religious leaders practice what they preach concerning use of RINGS IN MARRIAGE in line with it origination

4. Will you readily agree now that you and your religious leaders do not follow instructions given in Lev 18:3 regarding ring in marriage as being a pagan fabrication?

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.

Delusion grandeur is when you assume the word birthday means anything believers as old as you are do concerning it means celebrating an Egyptian god whom sometimes when people as old as you are organize such for a celebrant as old as 1 to 2 years brain or memory can't fathom and the parent never thinks what they had organized for their child is to a god they hardly know or thought of.

How many of such believer believed that what they are doing those times has connection with a pagan god? Or say they dedicate such a day to an Egyptian god?

Barristter07:
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.

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!

But you have to dubiously inserted verse 4 into it by yourself.

People celebrate weddings in the scripture and people wear rings on their fingers even servants of God. Isrealites donated all kind of gold rings for the temple work. Clearly , if someone chooses to wear ring as a symbol of his Marital union, there is no objection. Cos wedding itself has Gods backing, and rings were worn by servants of God in scriptures.

Compared to birthday's, no single traces of such event. Despite it was a routine in Egypt where the Isrealites spent So many years. To top it all, this celebration is aimed at worshiping Horus whom pharaoh represent. If we connect the dots, when the Isrealites left Egypt , we won't be surprised that none of them imitate the idea of birthdays not even for their kings. Most Encyclopedia explains this same thing when they said The Early Christian's object to things like Christmas or birthdays of anyone , as it's a pagan custom.

Knowing how futile it is to find any such reference , they had to hold on to Job 1:4 which raises many Questions. If it were birthdays, How then could the females be mere invitees and not celebrants considering they have a day of birth too ? This is not a case of scriptures Been silent, the text is clear that this feast was done by only the sons. Which invalidates the idea of Birthdays.

Here is the answer to that as provided by your religious leaders whom are not inspired who sifts the wisdom of the world from atheist and other christian denominations leaders to give you as spiritual food.

Indicating the non-Christian origin of many of apostate Christendom’s doctrines, ceremonies, and practices, 19th-century Roman Catholic cardinal John Henry Newman wrote in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine: “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [the song “Lord, Have Mercy”], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.”

Rather than sanctify such idolatry, “Jehovah the Almighty” admonishes Christians: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves, . . . and quit touching the unclean thing.”​—2 Corinthians 6:14-18...... The book of Revelation (2006)


Emphasis on this rather than sanctify such idolatry. What are they? All of the things mentioned by the cardinal.

So what did your religious leaders added. The scripture you have been shouting about was used......Jehovah the Almighty” admonishes Christians: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves.

Hope your eyes sees that same scripture cited?

Your response involves picking the one that suits your agenda and abandon those that don't.

To cover the use of his day means day of birth what did those who translated your Bible did

Job 1: 4 Each of his sons would hold a banquet at his house on his own set day.* They would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.........NWT 2013

*Or “at the house of each one in his turn.”

It was after this that Job began to speak and to curse the day of his birth.*.......NWT 2013

*Lit., “curse his day.”

Job 1:4 And his sons went and held a banquet+ at the house of each one* on his own day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them......NWT 1984

Job 3:1 It was after this that Job opened his mouth and began to call down evil upon his day ......NWT 1984

Added own 1984 went further to add set 2013 .......

Yet it's all futile as the same translation told us his day means day of his birth

We found that for many people in Mexico, the piñata has lost its religious significance and is considered by most to be just harmless fun. In fact, piñatas are used in Mexico on many festive occasions, not just for the posadas or for birthdays. And piñatas can be purchased in many forms other than the traditional star shape. They are sometimes made to resemble animals, flowers, clowns.

When considering whether to include a piñata at a social gathering, Christians should be sensitive to the consciences of others.

So as the light continue to get brighter and brighter {Proverbs 4:18} they were making changes until they are able to wash away all those filthy pagan customs {Revelations 7:14} hindering the Holy Spirit from manifesting in their midst. Romans 6:1

That's why today it's only within this group that all the qualities of God's Holy Spirit can be seen, unlike others worshiping and expecting God to come down and remove Nepotism, Racism and Politics, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are quenching all the missiles that Satan is firing about causing hatred and WARS throughout the earth! Ephesians 6:11 compare to Isaiah 54:17

Leviticus 18:3 was written in year 2000 C.E you know? You can relay the question to barristter07 as well he has a response to this as well.


This one don lost inside what is going on here.

Janosky:


****1
Genesis 40:20, Matthew 14:6, Jesus knew pagans celebrated birthdays.
2 Corinthians 6:14 & John 15:15, is Jesus against pagan practices- celebration of birthdays & Christmas his Father did not approve?
.

****2
The apostle Jesus converted, says Romans 15:4 and Galatians 4:8-11 were written to teach you that @ 2 Corinthians 6:14, Genesis 40:20, Matthew 14:6 and Exodus 32:2-9, Jehovah God does NOT approve "special days" of pagans, pagan practices you FALSELY claim to do for his praise.

But that same apostles Jesus converted didn't say the below abi?

Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord.

An many said their birthday is special to them and does so to the Lord. But you Janosky says you know more than the same person Jesus converted the reason you added

FALSELY claim to do for his praise

And Paul's words followed

Who are you to judge the servant of another?

Are you the educated literate the master of these people to say what they do is FALSE?

To his own master he stands or falls.

Are you (the educated literate) the owner and their master?

Indeed, he will be made to stand, for the Lord can make him stand.

Even on top of their "FALSE CLAIM" the Lord can make them stand

Janosky:

2 Corinthians 13:11 (compare Luke 24:25-27,45)
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you"

Galatians 2:11-14, Peter mended his ways.
Jehovah's Servants will continue to "mend their ways" to please Jehovah God.

Question: Are they not servants of Jehovah?


Answer: Jehovah servant will continue to mend their ways

Leviticus 18:3 was written in year 2000 C.E

Barristter07:


Young man, The Early Christian's know the history of birthdays. There was no such birthday celebration among them, not even that of Christ. Because it's a pagan custom.

Just like mourning is also a pagan custom?

Janosky:

Which question is that?
John 11:35 , Jesus wept because he mourned Lazarus.
Pronto !

Why do Christians mourning knowing that pagans also mourn?

MaxInDHouse:
Astrologers are people who read stars, omen, fortunetellers that God condemned in his laws given to the nation of Israel, so Satan is the Mastermind behind the star that brought those people from Babylon (pagan nation), Satan first led them to Herod the great who doesn't want to hear about some king coming to dethrone him.
After Satan has lead his agents to the person who will kill baby Jesus out of jealousy, Satan now led them to the house where the child is laid.
So everything that happened with that Star was Satan's plan to kill baby Jesus. But blindfolded Churchgoers like you whose eyes can't see anything apart from Christmas food and gifts can't grasp that because the only thing that matters to novice of your type is the GIFT!

I thought you said those laws have been done away with����.

So do you have to twist Bible inorder to prove your false lies.

Where in the Bible is it written that Satan was the one that showed the wisemen star?
