Crosses are wrong, so is celebrating Christmas

Jesus never said to celbrate christmas but only his Death

[iughioo]

Exactly. This is the truth the Bible says. Those who believe in the cross even as a reminder and those who celebrate the Christmas although it is so well-known that Christ wants us to comemorate only His death do not truly respect God's Word.

What a shame to have such a narrow view of God!

[theonlyalexgreen]

I think it is the resurrection that is most to be celebrated. To have an encounter with the Risen Lord is more powerful than 'celebrating his death' Jesus is ALIVE, now, walking and working. Lets celebrate that.

'Who cares really' and 'tbh I don't care' Well I care and I wish you would not use the Christadelphian name to publicise the things which do not belong to Christadelphians. Where in the New Testament do you see recorded the keeping of Christmas or use of the cross as a symbol other than as a figure of our life in Christ denying self and seeking to serve God. Don't say what you think tell me how you can justify it scripturally.

@theonlyalexgreen Well the comments thatyou make about the having the cross as a reminder sounds very catholic, and very dangerous to even have it on display. We can simply remember the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ by thoroughly understanding what the scriptures say and teach. if you start bringing in crosses and crucifixes etc, you are then perceived to be worshipping it, of which then it becomes an idol, and it is a graven image. That's the danger

@yehudiadelphos1 What do you mean at all?

[yehudiadelphos1]

@theonlyalexgreen Hello there again, Excuse me for moment,but I would just like to ask you, are you are Christdelphian at all?

Sincerely Yehudi

[theonlyalexgreen]

@yehudiadelphos No, the cross is not an idol that people worship, it is just a useful reminder that Christ died for our sins in the most horrible of deaths and that one single crucifixion is now all that the cross represents. A single crucifixion of the One Christ that can now be seen as a great victory over sin & death.

The cross points to Christ and no other, Christ points to God, in seeing a cross we look to Jesus and then to God which for me is not a bad reminder. I worship God not a cross!

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

Ec 4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

I know Jesus was not born on Dec 25th and that it was a pagan addition by the RC church.

tbh - I don't care - now I think it's like the UK queen - she has a real birthday and an official one.

We only really celebrate the 'official' one for Jesus - it's about remembrance of those portions of the bible where Christ's birth is fortold and then, hundreds of years later, comes about. It's beautiful. All birth is. But this is God's son! So how cool is that!!
