Aren’t you the one who was lecturing about not going by feelings? For some reason, you are equating or connecting things that are only connected by history. The cross WAS a tool of torture but Christian’s do not use that symbol to honor torture tools. It has taken on new meaning. If you ask...

Wrong. I totally see. What WAS is not what IS. You are turning a blind eye to cultural appropriation. The swatstika WAS in a different culture a symbol that means peace. People in the West no longer connect that meaning to that symbol. Same with the Confederate flag. Same with birthday...

There you go again, confusing a cultural tradition with a false religious practice.

You turning older has nothing to do with what year this is. Celebrating people’s birthday’s has nothing to do with worship - in our culture.

You are relying on Old Covenant rules that never applied to Gentiles. In our culture, we honor people by celebrating their birthday.

The question of what year it is has everything to do with celebrating birthdays. And you know it.

What year is it? It’s telling that you cannot answer such a simple question. Celebrating someone’s birthday is not prohibited in Scripture and has nothing to do with false religion.

Maybe another translation will make sense. 22 In the same way, even though God has the right to show his anger and his power, he is very patient with those on whom his anger falls, who are destined for destruction. 23 He does this to make the riches of his glory shine even brighter on those to...

No. It’s the consequence of cultural appropriation. Why do you think it is important to separate celebrations?

Old covenant does not apply to Gentiles.

Wow! Never read Ex 3:15 huh? God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh,[a] the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.

I see you ask questions but do not answer them. Just because it was not done in ancient cultures does mean it is prohibited under the new covenant.

Yet, in the very next verse God said his name was YHWH, to be remembered for all generations. God did not say his name was "I am that I am", only a unique attribute - eternally existing. The same cannot be said of sons, who by definition come after and are created by their fathers.

Glad to make you smile. The idea that celebrating birthdays goes against God’s word ought to be a justification that makes you smile big time. What year is it, sweetie?

D-day memorial. Normandy, France.

Both. All glory to God but honor is due many. See honor your mother and father. See debate on obeisance v worship.

Of all the absurd religious objections, this stands as the most absurd! Opposing honoring Christ via celebrating his birthday makes no sense whatsoever. Wrong date? So what? The precise date matters not. Based on pre-existing festival? Part of time honored cultural appropriation. Non-Irish...

I suppose that is what doctrinal purity is all about. I'm reading a book my wife got me for my birthday about the Wild Heart of Men. In it, the author explains that Eve was created in the Garden of Eden but Adam was created from clay, the Earth itself before Eden was made and therefore outside...

In light of Thomas touching the wounds of Christ, I can’t imagine how JW maintain Jesus was not resurrected bodily.

Body. You forgot to end with spiritual body. Even though I think you are wrong on this point, I still love you and believe you are a Christian. O
