Jesus Christ was not born today and He didn't ask to celebrate any Holiday in His name, so it is sin to do so. undecided

Instead, Christmas is a pagan/secular holiday and should be celebrated as such. undecided

Merry Christmas/Xmas to you too! undecided

Merry Christmas to you all, I ❤ you and Jesus ❤❤❤❤❤s you more. Please, if you are not a Christian, you have no business discussing Christmas, practice your religion and leave us alone.

Anyway, there is no dull moment in my family. Our Christmas turkey and chickens have already been slaughtered and our ram is about to be slaughtered also. We are throwing a small party, I wish I could invite everybody.

Christmas is not of Jesus Christ but of this world - it is a secular/Pagan holiday- and so should not be celebrated in His name either.. undecided

I understand that Yahshua is a proposed transliteration of the original Hebrew name of Jesus but we Christians don't believe in your own Yahushua and our beliefs about Jesus is totally different so how can we compare two different religions. Christians only practice Christianity, no Christian can accept your belief except the Christian wants to convert to your religion.

I am not interested in debating my religion with a non-christian, the other day I discussed with you, I thought you were a Christian.

When was Jesus born?

A. Popular myth puts his birth on December 25th in the year 1 C.E.

B. The New Testament gives no date or year for Jesus’ birth. The earliest gospel – St. Mark’s, written about 65 CE – begins with the baptism of an adult Jesus. This suggests that the earliest Christians lacked interest in or knowledge of Jesus’ birthdate.

C. The year of Jesus birth was determined by Dionysius Exiguus, a Scythian monk, “abbot of a Roman monastery. His calculation went as follows:

a. In the Roman, pre-Christian era, years were counted from ab urbe condita (“the founding of the City” [Rome]). Thus 1 AUC signifies the year Rome was founded, 5 AUC signifies the 5th year of Rome’s reign, etc.

b. Dionysius received a tradition that the Roman emperor Augustus reigned 43 years, and was followed by the emperor Tiberius.

c. Luke 3:1,23 indicates that when Jesus turned 30 years old, it was the 15th year of Tiberius reign.

d. If Jesus was 30 years old in Tiberius’ reign, then he lived 15 years under Augustus (placing Jesus birth in Augustus’ 28th year of reign).

e. Augustus took power in 727 AUC. Therefore, Dionysius put Jesus birth in 754 AUC.

f. However, Luke 1:5 places Jesus’ birth in the days of Herod, and Herod died in 750 AUC – four years before the year in which Dionysius places Jesus birth.

D. Joseph A. Fitzmyer – Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at the Catholic University of America, member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and former president of the Catholic Biblical Association – writing in the Catholic Church’s official commentary on the New Testament[1], writes about the date of Jesus’ birth, “Though the year [of Jesus birth is not reckoned with certainty, the birth did not occur in AD 1. The Christian era, supposed to have its starting point in the year of Jesus birth, is based on a miscalculation introduced ca. 533 by Dionysius Exiguus.”

E. The DePascha Computus, an anonymous document believed to have been written in North Africa around 243 CE, placed Jesus birth on March 28. Clement, a bishop of Alexandria (d. ca. 215 CE), thought Jesus was born on November 18. Based on historical records, Fitzmyer guesses that Jesus birth occurred on September 11, 3 BC

Ignorance is no excuse. God commanded we allow the blood to run to the earth when we slaughter any animal . If you did, the better I not...it's up to you. If you like be claiming smartness, don't listen to advice from an elder....

The Catholics said Jesus birthday is 25th.

Mr elder, thanks very much for your advice but it is not even needed because your God is not my God. Your own God does not permit you to eat animals that the blood runs to the earth but my God own permits me to eat it.

If I want to follow your doctrines, I would simply convert to your religion and I am not interested in your religion. I only practice Christianity, please let me be.

I cannot obey the law of the creator of the universe that you believe in because the creator I know is different from the creator you know. My own creator, Jesus Christ of Nazareth wants me to listen to the teaching of His apostles, so I will not ignore their teachings.

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
