It says nothing about making sure to NOT observing Jesus's birthday either, so... I think the scriptures I posted previously still apply here. (
Rom 14:5-6,
Col 2:16-17)
Of course, "God" doesn't have a birthday per se, but the Son of God obviously did. And if Christians
choose to use December 25th to observe/commemorate his birth, why would that be a a problem?
Again, it says nothing about
watchnight/New Years Eve services either.. but most Apostolic churches observe that annually. Is that wrong ?
And the bible doesn't tell us to observe birthdays either, but most apostolics observe that too. Is that wrong?
As a matter of fact, it seems that most Apostolic churches even make it a point to take time out during a Sunday morning service to honor their pastor and pastor's wife when their birthday comes around. I guess you
could consider that to be the "unbiblical observation of something the bible doesn't tell us to observe" ... and I guess you'd be right.
Still I think some saints make a bigger deal over this stuff than God does.
