Re: Should a Christian celebrate Christmas ?

I think the situations is not just that these are heathen customs because the heathen have a lot of customs that we adopt in many forms, but being that the celebrations of Christmas or Jesus's birth can not be separated from Worship. Meaning that which we do unto Jesus is indeed Worship. So everything surrounding ones Christmas celebration if one is doing it unto Jesus is worship unto Jesus. And if God don't want us to include heathen customs in worship than we have to contend with that.

But we have to be smart or use some intelligence. The Bible allows for singing, dancing, speaking in tongues, gathering in worship and various things that are also can be heathen customs or done by the heathens also but as the Bible puts it they are Holy Ghost traditions and are therefore allowed. In other words you don't have to worry about if a worship custom is heathen or have some form of heathens doing it somewhere down in history if the Bible references it or justify it.
