Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

If you folks don't want to celebrate christmas, then don't. it's so simple.


Here's what I don't get. I see churches that preach against christmas but exchange gifts. that's participating in the comercial part of Christmas which should be wrong too.

If it's not right, then withdraw from all of it.

My point is a mother is still a mother in guiding her childrens lives. This isn't about mothers but women and men.

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

Why don't we take dominion over the holiday instead of running scared from everything all the time?

Besides, the date of December 25th is actually based on a Jewish belief regarding prophets and the Messiah, it was a coincidence that the date falls in the midst of a pagan winter festival.

Here's a great article on the subject titled, Calculating Christmas...

There are women preachers who don't do xmas. Now that we have cured that rabbit trail, let's get back to the Popish sacrament.
