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

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but does this mean that the same people preach against honeymoons after weddings? I don't see how you could reject one and embrace the other.

Why did you say that? What made you say that? Did you think that was funny? Did the Holy Ghost cause you to say that?

Neck, how can you see them with that big plank in your eyeball!



Do you drink a large amount of coffee?



Yes, I know brilliantly lit by the many lights of the Sears POP UP xmas tree.



Interesting and all is in the Bible, but celebrating the birth of Christ, or His baptism, or his crucifixion with festivals we have NO SUCH TEACHING.

You borrowed it all from the Catholics.

Hey, look at it this way, it just makes the transition easier when you finally return.

Here you go getting upset. Why don't you answer my questions?
Come on, don't be that way Neck, you had already admitted in this thread that there was no mandate to celebrate the xmas. So, why feel so blue?

You can celebrate Jesus everyday!
