And who says I'm Protestant? BTW, I trust you celebrate Hanukkah as I do, because it's in the books of Maccabees. Christmas is NOT in the bible nor those "apocryphal" books so-called by the Protestants.

No it's not false. Even wikipedia knows that much. Just like St Nicolas was in early December but associated with "Santa Claus" on Decenmber 25th, so the solstice was associated with xmas. On December 25th the sun was observed to move upward again, thus the b-day of the sun god. Stop fooling...

I accept those books. So what is it about them that you think is not being followed? I often quote Sirach to show that the medical establishment is in severe error such as myths about cholesterol, saturated fats and other such nonsense. I don't believe in doctors because they don't follow...

Because Christmas was Christianized from the pagan feast of Saturnalia. In addition, Jeremiah 10 warns about not learning the ways of the heathen, with the xmas tree. Jeremiah 10:1-5. That's just a start.

OK.... I'm late in the thread here but to answer the OP, the Savior considers Christmas as idolatry. While my wife and family celebrate it and put up decorations, I ask forgiveness about them (i.e. the decorations) and tag along. It's like that fellow Naaman who asked forgiveness when he took...

Now for a funny mention. Some of us look for things like this and signs of prophecy for a long time and even telling others that fell on deaf ears. Then, you will have those who will criticize this whole ordeal. These critics, if asked a month ago, knew nothing about Israel and what has been...

Jeremiah 29:10 comes to mind as prophecy (like history) repeats itself. Anciently, Jew returned from the Babylonian captivity 70 years so that the land could enjoy her Sabbaths. In modern times, the Jews returned after a greater dispersion (which exceeded 70 years) so the symbolic 70 years...

So, I'm surprised I did not see anything about this, at least not here in the current events. So, what say y'all? Whether the results will be good, bad or otherwise, I think its biblical prophecy being fulfilled and something to watch and pray over.... so we will be considered worthy to...

I wasn't accusing you. I was quoting scripture that Paul stated that seemed to fit your situation, so I already showed you a verse. But then again, maybe my assessment of your situation is wrong. As for the feasts I enjoy them, and the Sabbath, so when anyone comes to me saying I deal with...

Legalists? But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. Me thinks the traditionalists are the "legalists". God's...

No I don't agree with your historical analysis at all, but at least your heart is in the right place. Shepherds would not be out in Judea watching over their sheep in a cold December night. Like the next sister's post declared, he was born in September. She believes the feast of Tabernacles...

I think you have two types of Christmas haters: 1) Anti-Christians who THINK Christmas is biblical, and thus want to attack it because they hate Christians. 2) People like me who attack it because I know that the origins are pagan. The attack reasons are nowhere near #1 who just want to...

For the record, folks, while I said that our OP friend twisted scripture based on linguistic interpretation, I meant it in a way that I believed he does so ignorantly (albeit sincerely) and boldly proclaims that. That's the definition of "audacity". I do think he needs to look at all sides...

Just for clarification, my back is not up against the wall. That's for people that run out of arguments. I had plenty. Nevertheless, I think the truth speaks for itself without me, without you and anyone else. But believe what you will. God does the judging. At least like I said you believe...

Did you read the article carefully? Let me quote your earlier post: I highlighted your own words to point out I suspect that you are not a Greek scholar to justify your interpretation of the bible. But yes, one does have to be a Greek scholar. I am not one, but the article I supplied is...

But it's the Greek language. If they sometimes used Sabbaton for "week" depending on the context, Then that opens the possibility that the traditional translations are correct because it's in the realm of possibility that an ancient Greek speaker would say and use the very same phrase to say...

Well, it's not that I don't understand that, if that is what it's saying. But I don't believe the Greek text is saying that at all, and its your rendition of it to prove your point about changing the Sabbath day. Before I read this post of yours, I was doing some study on the Greek word...

I thought I did address a spiritual aspect (foreshadowing) of the Sabbath in my second post. I'm not saying that there is none. I'm saying that the day itself that it represents has not changed, nor is there anything in the bible that clearly says that it has. The Sabbath also looks forward...

Maybe explain more precisely what you are getting at? Jesus said three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Even if you want to consider that from the time of his death rather than burial, we are only mincing over a few hours. He both died and was buried near sundown thus 72 hours...
