We are shown no where in the scripture where we are to make up a birth day (24th, 25th 26th take your pick of December) for the man Jesus Christ, and commemorate it. Also build traditions around it that were stolen from other religions.



Isn't denial wonderful. Too bad it only works on the one who is in it.
Mark, just keep repeating that to yourself, while the rest of the world who deal with facts and reality laugh at you.



Well, Mark, me boy, here is some more facts for you. Those "protastants" are part of a church split from the Roman Catholics, and with the Trinity, and baptism in titles, they also brought the December 25th borrowed from Sol Invictus, Mithra.




The above statement is a total contradiction. Your not bound to adhere to the way Catholics do thing? Let's see, the Catholics borrowed December 25th from the Mithra cult, and you obediently celebrate on the exact day. You also call the day by the same title the Catholics gave the day. You don't call it Christservice, Christ's birthday, you call it Christmas. Do you have Mid Week Mass? Sunday Morning Mass? Sunday Evening Mass? No yet once a year you have a December 25th Mass, just as the Roman Mother church taught the world.



1.3 billion Roman Catholics in the world. Mark, you don't want to compete, I take your place. I may or may not make a dent, but i'll die trying.




Just like every other denomination on the planet does. We all do. The xmas, and the easter are the two red letter days that denominations try and pack the house. We don't work two days a year. We need to be pounding the pavement every day.



Praise Jesus, and bless His Holy name.


In Jesus name

There's is NO scriptural prohibition against celebrating the birth of christ just as we celebrate the resurrection. Mass comes from the word "to celebrate". Are we all lost because of it??

We don't just make 2 outreach efforts a year EB.those are just 2 of them.

EB. can I send you a Christmas offering??
