thanks jare,
more pressing things to attend to, take kia

THIS IS REALLY A WONDEFUL THREAD, HOPE THINGS LIKE THIS COMES UP LATER

THE FACTS ARE CLEAR ABEG

THE POINT HAS BEEN MADE

NO ONE IS COMMANDING ANYONE HERE, JUST MAKING THE TRUTH CLEAR PEOPLE

JUST WONDERING WHY SOME MAKE IT A BIG ISSUE IF YOU HERE A FRIEND SAY

"I DONT CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY, ITS NOT SCRIPTURAL"

DON'T GET ME WRONG, IF I DECIDE NOT TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY BASED ON THE EARLIER PREMISE I PASTED, HOPE YOU DONT JUDGE ME SINCE THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL PREMISE FOR THAT.
MANY PEOPLE, I MEAN MOST CHRISTIANS DO THINGS WITHOUT KNOWING THE ORIGIN. THEY SAY,

MY PASTOR SAYSS,

SOMEWHERE IN THE BIBLE SAYS,
THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYS,

SOME SAID JESUS BIRTH WAS CELEBRATED BY GIVING OF GIFTS?

As astrologers, they were servants of false gods and were, wittingly or unwittingly, led by what appeared to them as a moving “star.” They alerted Herod to the fact that the “king of the Jews” had been born, and Herod, in turn, sought to have Jesus killed. The plot, however, failed. GOD intervened and proved superior to the demon gods of the astrologers, so instead of returning to Herod, the astrologers headed home another way after being given “divine warning in a dream.”—Mt 2:2, 12.


ECCL 11:9 SAYS: Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart do you good in the days of your young manhood, and walk in the ways of your heart and in the things seen by your eyes. But know that on account of all these the [true] God will bring you into judgment

THE celebration of birthdays is regarded by most people today as merely an innocent custom.

But the Bible does not paint a positive picture of this tradition.

For one thing, the Scriptures contain no indication that any of God’s faithful servants celebrated birthdays.

The only two birthdays the Bible does mention were for rulers who were enemies of God. Each celebration included

an execution, so that the guests could gloat over the death of one who had displeased the king. In the first

instance, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, executed his chief baker. (Genesis 40:2, 3, 20, 22) The Egyptian ruler did so

during the feast because he had grown indignant with his servant. In the second instance, Her

od, the immoral ruler

of Galilee, beheaded John the Baptizer as a favor to a girl whose dancing at the party had pleased him. What

repulsive scenes!—Matthew 14:6-11.


Yet has not the Bible focused on two very exceptional birthdays?

Not really. The ancient Jewish historian Josephus reveals that these incidents were not unique. He records other

instances of the practice of birthday executions for entertainment.

For example, some occurred after Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 C.E., when 1,000,000 Jews perished and 97,000

survived to be taken prisoner. En route to Rome, Roman general Titus took his Jewish captives to the nearby

seaport of Caesarea.

Josephus writes:

“While Titus remained at Caesarea, he celebrated his brother Domitian’s birthday with great splendor, putting over

2,500 prisoners to death in games with beasts and flames. After this he moved to Berytus [Beirut], a Roman colony

in Phoenicia, where he celebrated his father’s birthday by killing many more captives at elaborate exhibitions.”—The

Jewish War, VII, 37, translated by Paul L. Maier in Josephus: The Essential Writings.

It is no wonder that The Imperial Bible-Dictionary comments: “The later Hebrews looked on the celebration of birth-

days as a part of idolatrous worship, a view which would be abundantly confirmed by what they saw of the common

observances associated with these days.”

SO THINK ABOUT THAT

well well, i think what the guy that started this post is trying to say is that:

- as christians, we are followers of christ and try following him no matter what, even if not convenient
- Jesus never told his disciples to celebrate his birth, rather his death
- Now of Jesus Disciples Celebrated it, not even the apostles
- It is not a criteria for being a servant of God
- Biblical history shows that only Pagans Celebrated it
- the bible shows that the day of death is better
there is even more and i will show you soon
