You want to make your own rules and use them as a standard to judge who? Me?
The first thing you should ask is, when did God ever institute a wedding ceremony? If he did not, then why did Jesus attend a wedding ceremony? John 2:1
Are you telling me that Jesus and his disciples were not aware of Herod’s birthday party? Matthew 14:6
So why weren’t they in attendance seeing that they regularly attended get-togethers? Mark 14:3, Luke 5:29



Leviticus 18:3a
“You must not behave as they do in the land of Egypt”
All the practices the Egyptians engaged in, the Israelites were NOT to imitate including birthdays. Genesis 40:20-22



No problem. It was those 8 men in New York who put Genesis 40:20-22 and Mark 6:21-29 in your Bible.

HERITAGE stronger than BLIND ARGUMENTS:

DappaD:
The earlier Christians already had guidelines to follow based on principles found at 1Corinthians 10:20-22 and several others.

“During the Christian era, the early followers of Christ didn’t believe in celebrating
birthdays, preferring—as was the case in earlier eras—of honoring one’s death. Their belief
was that only in death was there true deliverance worthy of honoring one’s ‘death day’ [a reference to Ecclesiastes 7:1, where Solomon asserts that the day of one’s death is better
than the day of one’s birth]. They also believed that Egyptian and Greek birthday
celebrations were pagan festivals and should not be duplicated”— (“The Strange Origins of Our Modern Birthday Customs,” August 13, 2008).


Even a well respected historical writer who was a Jew in the first century attested to birthdays being a pagan custom:

“Nay, indeed, the law does not permit us to make festivals at the birth of our children, and
thereby afford occasion of drinking to excess.”—(Josephus. Against Apion, Book II, Chapter 26)



Okay go and tell the followers of Jesus who saw him live and direct to confess their sins to their master for believing the above?

KNOWMORE56:
Exactly.

Wetin this guy swallow nah?

Walahi talahi i just dey gbadun him comments!

Your argument is the one blind and pointless. I gave you 2 places birthday was celebrated in the Bible but it is pagan in nature and has to do with killing. You didn't give me any to support your point but you still call my points blind.

bobestman:
Na fufu. Una eyes go clear one day

KNOWMORE56:
You are now using respected historian in place of the scriptures: I don't believe them. I only know that pagans have the duplicate of ALL the practices.

achorladey:
Show us why your founding fathers celebrated Christmas and BIRTHDAYS despite the presence of Leviticus 18:3a in your Bible and died doing so.

After all one of your brothers said Matthew 28:20 was given by Jesus. Tell us why your founding fathers didn't follow through on that and still make heaven


The circling continues. Back at Leviticus 18 racing back to Matthew 28:20 soon.

achorladey:
It's usual now, they pick what they like to support whatever they are interested same way their religious leaders do and go ahead to call it spiritual food at proper time.

But when the same reference shows what goes against the same thing they are supporting. It becomes wisdom of the world is foolishness or they forget and abandon the usual quote secular history agree with bible.

Matthew 28:20, is your Christmas and annual birthdays celebrations, the teaching and command of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 28:20, according to Jesus Christ, is your noise on annual birthdays and Christmas celebration untenable?

Their god is their belly. Pagans pretending to love Jesus

Janosky:
GIBBERISH as usual.

Matthew 28:20, is your Christmas and annual birthdays celebrations, the teaching and command of Jesus Christ?

Bros, did king Solomon know Leviticus 18:3?
Bros, tell this forum why King Solomon wasn't removed from the throne when he engaged in pagan practice ?

MaxInDHouse:
So you're telling me that as a born again Christian it's pagans i'm emulating if i should celebrate my birthday shey?
Abeg go sit down joh!

bobestman:
Do you know what the word "born again" mean? The Messiah was talking about something deeper. The Bible you read was sealed Daniel 12:4. The guys who interpreted it did a bad job. The truth about it is to come out this endtime. So there are many things you Christians don't understand and there are many errors in all you religions. So if born again means to be reborn does it look like just repenting to you? It is journeying into the deep to know who you are. There is a lot one has to go thru in the spirit. This has nothing to do with religion but Awakening. All religion are Apostate. Untill things are corrected or restored, you guys won't know the truth. Restoration of all lies to the truth in the end of age. I know say you no go understand. Make e just dey like that. Good night

achorladey:
And the educated literate continue to entangle himself. We will soon get to the realms of Jesus support idolatry. It has happened before it is repeating itself again.

Since God didn't remove Solomon for practicing IDOLATRY, it means God support Idolatry and serving as a case study God don't have to remove Russell, Rutherford e.t.c since God had already supported the precedent in the case of Solomon

Since God didn't remove King Solomon for engaging in pagan practice, we have been asking you, when did you and your religious organization become the master, perfecter and finisher of faith or GOD of those celebrating birthdays that you have to remove them from whatever position they are?

Why King Solomon wasn't removed from the throne when he engaged in pagan practice?

And he has been here from page what again?(remind me) on this thread battling against birthday celebration.

Let me rephrase the question well for you

Question:

Why have you been going against celebrating birthdays (pagan practice) since King Solomon wasn't removed from the throne when he engaged in pagan practice?

Answer: It means God support pagan practice

Janosky corroborate this answer

bobestman:

Janosky:
Achorladey, please continue LYING and entangle yourself making FALSE claims.
Na your way.

1 kings 11:5-6,9
"King Solomon followed after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians.....king Solomon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah..... Jehovah became furious at king Solomon"


Achorladey stop LYING,no dey mumu. Be humble & admit these questions are far beyond your level:
Bros, did king Solomon know Leviticus 18:3?
Bros, tell this forum why King Solomon wasn't removed from the throne when he engaged in pagan practice ?

DappaD:
However you want to put it, it is not supported by Scripture and was practiced by die-hard pagans. Genesis 40:20-22, Mark 6:21-29

I believe Barristter07 and Janosky have done justice to this subject already—explaining from the Scriptures and accurate historical records that the celebration does not originate with pure worship and hence does not please God so I need not bother myself explaining more.
The way you replied to me, is sort of sending the message that you need a “go-ahead” or an approval from the Witnesses? Okay so if they don’t agree with you, kasala don burst be that? Mark 7:5

"...hence does not please God...."[b]

Please can you show where He said that He is not pleased with birthday celebration?

KNOWMORE56:
The following some of the things God has not said do or don't do. People choose them as they are pleased. And nobody should accuse another one of idolatry:

1. Piercing of the ears by men/ women
2. Wedding cake, dance,etc
3. Birthday celebration/ Christmas
4. Decorations of graves of loved ones and so on.

KNOWMORE56:
Ecclesiastes 3 :1-6 is there for you to read.

My point is, positive happenings and negative happenings are mentioned in the chapter. If you separate them, birthday/ the day to be born will surely be with dancing, rejoicing.

What I'm saying is birthday in the chapter worth a happening that should command dancing, celebration, rejoicing.

I have also told you that the the wedding day dancing that you are so fascinated with does not appear there.

Moreover, you are a Watch tower devotee, watch tower devotees don't believe the scripture but their 8 men.

KNOWMORE56:
**1
You cannot provide any scripture where God commanded dancing during weddings just as you cannot see it for birthday celebration.
If the above is not true then prove it wrong.

The scriptures is full of commandment against erecting any thing ( not just calf) and call it god;

and you are asking me to tell you why God was not happy with them?

**2
Again, before they entered the Promised Land, God told them ALL the things that the people of the land were practicing that He hates.

But birthday celebration was not mentioned.

True or false, DappaD?

Since He did not mention birthday celebration, it's either it didn't exist or He did not see anything wrong with it.

Jesus, my Lord and God, did not say anything about it.

Watch tower is digging histories written down by unbelievers as concrete facts that God is not pleased with birthday celebration!

Who celebrate annual birthdays in Egypt?
Genesis 40:20, pagans like Pharaoh.
Bros, Pls name the Israelites who copied Pharaoh
None !

Leviticus 18:3 Jehovah hates pagan practice of annual birthdays celebrated in Egypt
Leviticus 18:3 = 2 Corinthians 6:14.

KNOWMORE56:
To me be happy, rejoicing with friends for additional, unmerited year added to one's years remains the greatest celebration after our redemption.

Loool! We have 365 Pharoah days occupying the 365 days of the year and 366 days in case of leap year.

Indeed they are created for Pharoahs and by Pharoahs.

Janosky:
Galatians 4:8-11, shun special days and seasons of pagans, such as annual birthdays celebrations and Christmas seasons.

Matthew 28:20, teaching them to OBEY ALL THE THINGS I have command.

Na you go set the rules for the exam the Great Teacher give you ?

How come Reno Omokri found out the truth about Christmas & all of you are here DECEIVING yourselves ?

blueAgent:

That's why you people are jokers, no one takes JW seriously.
If this refers to birthday, then why do the Israelites mourn knowing that the Egyptians that they lived with also mourn the dead?

blueAgent:

You are the biggest clown I have ever seen.
You mean if he was not invited he would have gone to Herod birthday?
How does that prove that birthday is wrong?
Was it all wedding feast that Jesus attended?
Except for turning water into wine, the story of Jesus attending a wedding feast would not have been mentioned and false teachers like you will claim it is wrong to have wedding feast.

blueAgent:

Learn to read and understand before commenting.
Like Paul says in Roman 14:6 anyone can regard any day unto God as special be it your birthday or not but what matters is that in all, all Glory should be given only to God.
Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

This guys are jokers.

I have one in my office would never join in birthday celebrations see it as sin, but can Bleep anything lockable.
Big time hypocrites.
