Because Christians celebrate Christmas…friends and family. I would say the tree is an old custom but it really is not that old. Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la So we cannot blame this one on the Pagans…...

A Jew would not.....but we are not Jews.

Like I said I know about the Jews for Jesus....it is good stuff....Do they have simular beliefs :vgood: But still their history is not from protest churches.

But I am not concerned about Justin's third manuscript....It is called not taking the bait. But if you have a point....lets hear it.

I know about Jews for Jesus. But they are not protestant. Great stuff but they have no historical lineage to the Jewish-Christians of the 1st century.

Not from God? Neither is wedding ceremonies or a requirement thereof to be married. Neither is stopping polygamy or concubinage...did God want to continue that? Neither is stopping slavery....did God want to continue that? Soooo what is your point? The bottom line, God did not die at the end...

When you are dealing with history it is all about confidence levels. I am not sure what your concern with Justin’s manuscripts are but as far as confidence levels he was not contradicting anything that history or the other early writers where not confirming. Sunday was the Lord’s Day from the...

Our origins are Gentile-Christians which mean Pagans that converted to Christianity. After the 1st century the Gentile-Christians took the helm of the Church and it has been that way ever since. The Protestants if they trace their heritage back they were Pagans that converted to Christianity….I...

Well the Jews do. But we are Christians.

”Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?“ Matthew 27:45-46 KJV Christ was not mistaking or lying. From...

Ya know I feel your pain…. May God bless you in everyway…. When a person has physical problems they have a minefield of issues ahead of them. You know what ya call a doctor that finishes last in his class…..Doctor. The medical community is full of incompetence….really ....Beware. Judge a book...

No I was joking around…. What day we choose to set a side for the Lord and a day of rest is up to us. Some people have jobs that that is the way they have to do it. But it is not just rest it is also worshipping the Lord. On the other had I believe that it is important to assemble with other...

Like the original books of the Bible, people would love to have the originals….it is just something that does not happen.

Are you saying that any day can be a day of worship or Lazyboy time?

Do you think that Christians do not understand that Sunday is a day of rest? I mean I don't think we should kill someone for changing a flat tire. Until recently most everything was closed down on Sunday. And most of that was a cultural thing.

Well that is the point. It all a matter of reference from the first day of creation. The Hebrew names for the days of the week are simply the day number within the week until you get to the Sabbath- Shabbat. The week begins with Day 1 creation….( Sunday - Yom rishon) and ends with Shabbat...

The Hebrew reckoning of the days of the week. The Hebrew week (שבוע, shavua) is a cycle of seven days, mirroring the seven-day period of the Book of Genesis in which the world is created. The names for the days of the week are simply the day number within the week. The week begins with Day 1...

This is being discussed in the thread “Why is it important to keep the Sabbath” The Lord’s Day on Sunday is not discussed in the New Testament because it was established shortly after the biblical period. And it appears in early Christian writings. People get mixed up on the timeline and the...

Not sure of what your getting at or your interest in Justin Martyr but here it is. By the mid-2nd century, Justin Martyr wrote in his apologies about the cessation of Sabbath observance and the celebration of the first day of the week (not as a day of rest, but as a day for gathering to...
