Wow, I didn't realize this was another belief of JW.

Look, Jesus CAME to the Earth. That's all that matters. He was born here, and people brought Him gifts. In fact, when someone is saved, they become "Born again." Jesus speaks about being born again, and how there is a great celebration in Heaven when someone believes in Christ.

There are a lot of traditions even YOU do that they didn't do in the Bible. That doesn't mean it's wrong. Anything that brings glory to God.

Its is pagan tradition and back then Bdays were invovled with supersticion and God doesn't wnat anything super stition involed with his son.

I can't recall being told that Jesus was born on Dec.25. I know it is the day set aside to commemorate His birth. We celebrate His birth to give thanks & praise to God for bringing Salvation to us. It is not a "birthday party". "If Jehovah wanted us to celebrate he would have told us" ? Did He tell you to come on YouTube? Why then did you come? Then you are breaking His commandments because He didn't tell you. I don't see it in the Bible where He told you to come on YouTube. ....Silly argument.

@gaberuski True. I believe these Christmas haters are influenced by Satan. He hates the evangelising of the virgin birth of Christ & to see people rejoicing. He loves to see death & destruction, people in distress etc. They are his prophet in sheep's clothing, they are NOT Christians. You shall know them by their fruits.

@evewale John 3:16 simply states that WHOSOEVER are the "believing" inherit eternal life. 3:17 states that Christ doesnt condemn anyone, they stand condemned already.

I agree with a few things; Its true it was a pagan worship, Christians need to be Christ-like, and not allow strange doctrines and rituals to permeate our very foundation. If we are lukewarm with all kinds of celebrations God will spew us out. The only remembrance Christ admonished us is the breaking of bread (Luke 22:19)...This is my body which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me..., and not His so called 'birthday'. Why cant we just have celebrations that are not controversial?

@evewale

Justify what you want.  Self-justification is a common practice among Christians nowadays, so why should it be any different for you, right.

Happy Pagans Day!

i'm so thrilled that you feel you know enough to tell someone else that they know so little

i'm well aware of the pegan feasts but am also aware that Jesus' birth was celebrated and am happy to celebrate Jesu's birth with my family again what is the feast of dedication in the Bible? did Jesus mention or celebrate this feast? and what time in the year is it celebrated? it seems that you would have answered this in my past comment but you do have a tendency to overlook my questions

evewale"

Justify for yourself all you want, but the holiday never had anything to do with Christ; these traditions are mergers of pagan practices.

Yule log is pagan

"12 days of Christmas" they use to sacrifice a person each day of the celebration ending on December 25 where they would have a festival etc.

The tree Jeremiah 10:1-4 is pagan

The question isn't if it's wrong, the question is how wrong do you see it.

Justify it for yourself if you like.

same reason why the settlers who came to America outlawed it and fined anyone who practiced it. They knew what the tradition was. It wasn't until the early 1900's that Christmas started to breach it's way into society through famous stories and plays, Charles Dickens writtens mostly. And then eventually the Sunday School association pleaded to at least let them use the day to teach of Christ because it would be a good, way to include the message in and holiday mood setting.
