Good points OA.

I think E.B. may be having some fun here. And as unbiblical as having fun online really is, I still hope he has a blast.

Then celebrate CHRISTmas and not MITHRAMAS....

Celebrate the birth of our savior, not the birth of the pagan savior

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

No one is introducing anything about Holy three piece suits that are worn to celebrate Jesus Christ.

How can one shun a moment in history that passes every year no matter if they like it or not? These moments also cause you to become older and it's not just you but where you live, the job you work at, people you have known through the years, etc, etc. Do you acknowledge these dates, or do you throw elaborate celebrations to honor yourself as some king.

Even what I posted above still has nothing to do with the Bible, and therefore anyone who is presently involved with those type celebrations NEVER say that they are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, or Baptist. They call them celebrations, formal or informal (three piece suit or no three piece suit) and no one is claiming that they are mandated by scripture, or are defendable by scripture.

Xmas on the other hand is called a CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION and it's NOT. It's a tradition held over from paganism, and therefore it was never part of the Christian experience.

Call it a Catholic celebration that is closer to the truth than saying it's Christian or Apostolic.

In Jesus name

I'd be having a riot if Santy Claus brought me one of these.
