If We Shun the Trinity Because It's Unbiblical, Then Why Not XMAS?

The trinity is not just unbiblical, it is nonexistent. Slam dunk.

Amen, just like December 25th being the birthday of Christ.

Nonexistent Pine Trees with all silver and gold jewelry on them.

The list goes on, and on.

I indulge in myself almost everyday. I get dressed daily enrich my family's way of life, and celebrate my birthday once a year.

I put on the mind of Christ, He provides for me, I celebrate Him everyday. If I do what I do for myself, you better believe I am going to pick at least one day a year to celebrate the birthday of Christ.

Time has no relevance to Christ. Time is important to humanity. Therefore it is indicative of our set of values - of time, which most of us highly value - to separate a period of time to commemorate the birth of Christ. We cannot control what the world is going to do to soil traditions.

should we also shun birthdays, anniversaries, three piece suits and a host of other things because they are not in the bible?

If one observes that day unto the Lord, then to the Lord he observes it.

I hear the arguments that there are pagan practices associated with December 25th... but if a saint of God is using that day as a day unto the Lord, not to pagans, then to them it is not a pagan holiday.


The scriptural principle to be applied here is fairly straightforward:


Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it...

see also ...

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Careful now! Such simple and faultless logic is not allowed here!

Hey, and so much for Mothers Day/ Fathers day observances in church every year. Thats not scriptural either.

If we were to use that same logic I guess we wouldn't even have watch-night/New Years Eve observances in church either. Not only is it a non-biblical practice, but pagans were well known for having special observances to welcome the new year also.
