I vote we stop being panty waste cowards who hike up our dresses running from things of this nature and redeem the culture.

I vote we stop taking everything pagan into the worship of our God. That is the Catholic Church's modus operandi. It shouldn't be ours.

I was kidding. I celebrate Christmas. I spend money on it, I put up a pagan tree, I treat the 25th as a holy day, and I watch Rudolph and Frosty. So sue me.

Jesus also never told us to use music in church. So, maybe we should all become Church of Christ, eh.

Bah Humbug!

Interesting!
Jeremiah 52:30-34

30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.

32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

We are told specifically...

Romans 14:5-6 (King James Version)
5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6He 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.

...and...

Colossians 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Why surrender a single day to the secular culture. Take it captive and glorify Christ with it! For example, tear down Hindu temples and build churches on top of the land. It's about spiritual warfare and conquest... not puritanical ascetism, which you're advocating.

They weren't using the Greek Calendar. lol

The ancient roots of these practices are European. It's cultural. I know many seem to villainize European peoples and culture... but the truth is... we're the blessed of the Lord. Greatly blessed. I firmly believe that the blessings of Manasseh and Ephraim are upon us. Now go and conquer the culture.

It isn't about what Jesus didn't tell us to do.

*gasp* Evilmerodach king of Babylon must have been celebrating Christmas. Just look at his name! Everything about him says "evil"! How dare he give a prophet his freedom on such an unholy day! Jeremiah should have boycotted. Said he'd stay in prison til he rotted rather than accepting such a bad king's gift of freedom and food and all on such a day. Wonder how he got into the bible with such a compromising spirit?

I would have never figured out the date on my own... took me a few minutes to convert it to modern English even when it was in bold.

That wasn't our December 25th though... But I am sure you understand that.
