What The Bible Say About Christmas? by gideonjeta(m): 1:06pm On Dec 25, 2021 |
The Bible does not give the date of Jesus’ birth, nor does it say that we should celebrate his birthday. The Scriptures refer to only two individuals who celebrated their birthday. Neither of them was a worshipper of Jehovah, the God of the Bible, and their birthday celebrations were cast in a negative light. (Genesis 40:20; Mark 6:21). The early Christians opposed the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays. Surely, if Jesus wanted his followers to celebrate his birthday, he would have made certain that they knew the date of his birth. Also, the Bible does not record that Jesus or any one of his disciples celebrated Christmas. Rather, Jesus gave clear instructions on what he wanted his followers to do, and these are recorded in the Bible. Celebrating Christmas, however, is not one of them. Just as a schoolteacher does not want his students to go beyond the instructions given them, Jesus does not want his followers to “go beyond the things that are written” in the Holy Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 4:6.). As we have seen, Christmas is a birthday celebration, and early Christians did not follow that pagan custom. Furthermore, the Bible does not mention that Jesus or anyone else celebrated Christmas. 1 Like |

gideonjeta:Christmas is a secular/Pagan Holiday and so should not be celebrated in the Name of God as that constitutes sin against God. Rather, it should be celebrated as one would any other Holiday out there such as New Years, July 4th, Valentine's, etc., this without dragging the name of God or Jesus Christ into it. Merry Christmas and to all good tidings! |
