Sorry, but Catholic masses were a hold over in the Protestant movement. Show me where we are to celebrate the birth of Christ every year during the winter solstice. You are the one with the straw man. He happens to be made out of mistletoe.

Re: Merry Christmas to one and all !!

Ecclesiastes 7:1-8

A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one’s birth; It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

Re: Merry Christmas to one and all !!

Luke 2:9-14 KJVS
[9] And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
[10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
[12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
[13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
[14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Show me in Scripture where God commands us not to worship him on a particular day.

December 25th there anywhere? Dino Martinelli singing Yuletide Calabria Nativity eggnog? No, mention of turning this segment of the life of Jesus Christ into lighting a Dagon bush on the front lawn of the castle in Washington D.C.

Catholics do. Catholics have Xmas, and they have three kings day, and the celebrate when Jesus was baptized. Why stop at celebrating the solstice. You can Incorperated all the Catholic feast day. Nostradamus1968 you even have a name day in the Catholic Church. Which has its own saint.

Re: Merry Christmas to one and all !!

How far to the right can one go without going overboard?

How far to the left can one go without going overboard?

A believer in Christ wants to use this day, to remember the birth of Christ, will he be labeled a pagan? What if he doesn’t have a tree, a star, mistletoe, Yule tide log, egg nog? We can be hell fire about one area, and then we can be a liberal democrat on others areas.

Philippians 4:5 KJVS
[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.


Enjoy this day, some of you may have received Christmas Bonuses from your place of employment. Trust me you can cash them, your soul will not be tied to pagan worship if you do. And if your still not sure, send them to me, Ill cash them!
