11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “ Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”


Doesn't seem wrong to set aside one day to wish peace on earth and goodwill toward men!
You missed the party Sis, it was 2000 years ago and it was a group of shepherds. Angels don't herald Christ's birth at Dec 25th.

Jesus is the one true living God. He doesn't become a baby every year like Tammuz, the son of Nimrod.

Sister, Lord bless your heart. Sister, do what? Are we instructed to celebrate the birth of Christ? It's in the Bible? Are we admonished to celebrate the baptism of Jesus by John? It's in the Bible?

Sister, do you celebrate the Epiphany? You don't, so you pick and choose what you do celebrate due to your culture. It has nothing to do with the Bible. If you were raised in India you would be a Hindu, and if you were raised in Arabia you would be a Muslim. It's about our surroundings and cultures, and we incorporate them into our system. You don't get a xmas celebration from the pages of a Bible, you get a xmas celebration from the Western and Eastern churches, through the Protestants to the Pentecostals.

It's interesting to see you no standards Brothers fight so hard over this issue.

Like finding jingle bells and pine trees in the book of Acts. That simple Sis, it's just that simple.
