Please God who created you, protectes you and waiting to see you in Heaven (where we will be with Him ever and ever) or Please man who always uses his mind and strength to please what ever seems good to him and Godly to his poor knowledge......?
the questian is this,
Our God is Protective God (Jealous God) who never allows us to use other name to reffer him other sources to worship him to maintain this He never allow christians to have a statue in rememberence of Him or any picture that depicts Him.
if this is the case there are many things that are insisted by God for the Christians to follow where as very few are faithfull to follow them but "Christmas" was never mentioned in the Bible by God or his Desciples and many of us are aware that it has a Satanic origin (Nimrodh and Semiramis the names God hates are involved in this eve) why majority of the christians regardless of denomination accept this and faithfull to follow to receive the anger of God.
When will you repent

Yes, it is interesting the closeness of the name Santa with Satan, isn't it. The 'god' of materialism has taken over this season that is for sure. While the spirit of giving freely and charity is good and proper, it has been drowned out! I say we start a new tradition where we do not give material gifts, but give gifts of ourselves instead.
Children can do something special for their parents, and parents can give Children a little extra time and play with them rather than setting them in front of the tv.
The feast of Christ-mas should be a time where we celebrate the birth of the Christ, not just in Jesus but in all of us. When Christ said he would come again, he meant in all our hearts, not on a cloud in the sky.

pictures and statues are used to remind us how someone looks when they here on earth, havent u kept a picture of any of your loved one? is it a sin then? :) If u can check the Old testament dear, there was one instance when a rod /staff was used and raised ( which is now a symbol of healing in the medical filed) to heal all who were bitten by the poisonous snakes, I think its in Numbers, Chapter 11, if God makes use of these then whats wrong with further symbols, about Christmas, we celebrate Christmas for what reason, because the Saciour Christ Jesus was born, thats the essence of the celebration, if you are a Christian dont u think accusing other Christians of Paganism, Idolatry, and worst Satanic, is this being a what a good Christian is all about? I think Jesus wouldnt be happy with this also, this is the reason why so many religions keep attacking us Christians.... read and learn what u do not understand also and not what u have interpreted on your own.

You are right... we do not read about Christmas in the Bible and we are most propably not celebrating "the Birth of Jesus"on the right date anyway... And yes, Christmas might not be a total "Christian"thing to do...
But hey... I think that it is amazing that we all get together on one day to pay special tribute to God for sending his son to earth... and ja... maybe we are not "right" in celebrating with Christmas trees and all that, but we also eat Mac Donalds and we listen to music that is composed by non-christians...
I really hope that you have an amazing Christmas time and that it will not be a time of judging those who celebrate but rather a time to get closer to your family and God...
After all... the Christian thing is to act in LOVE....
Merry Xmas

Because Christians understand that no man is righteous in the eyes of God. Only through the sacrifice of His only Begotten Son does God forgive all man's folly. So weather you celebrate any of the secular Holidays in your home or not, it is of no consequence unless by celebrating them you become unconcerned with God's Grace and Forgiveness. Just like keeping to strict Religious practices one could forget the true spiritual connection with God and become like the pharisees.

faith is different from being religious, maybe your being religious and people who believe in Christmas or any unnamed holiday to celebrate god has faith, hope that god will one day return for them no matter what. remember religion is a system of social coherence based on a common group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an object, person, unseen being, or system of thought considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine or highest truth, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, traditions, and rituals associated with such belief or system of thought. faith is a trust faith has no logic to it it something one feels. but thats is my opinion

what are you getting at? i believe in god whole heartedly but, i also believe that most of american christianity is false and mostly man made......not the bible but, the beliefs.....i mean some believe in rapture,speaking in tounges,hell as in the lake of fire as a physical and eternal torture( god loves us and wouldn't condemn us to such a fate). there are many false doctrines out there.....the one and only thing you can believe and trust is god almighty .......accepting christ and living your life as you should according to the precious pages of the bible.....i don't go to church anymore due to the lack of truth preached in these churches. i live for god on a daily basis and not on a saturday or sunday. it's a life long commitment...... anyway, pray for people to gain wisdom of the bible. that's the best thing i can suggest. and pray for me as well. god bless you. in christs name i give this to you for you to ponder upon.

Hey, If it bothers your conscience, then I won't put up a Christmas tree or celebrate Christmas this year. Read Romans, chapter 14. Peace.
PS: I am not being sarcastic. I really won't celebrate it this year.

If Satan can take things from us and make them dirty, why can't we take things from him and make them clean? The blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins and I choose to celebrate His life/birth by spending time with my family, having a feast, and reading the nativity story. One of my kids favorite traditions is to sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. You see, where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. God knows my heart and my mind and He is completely aware of my true intentions. I honor Him by celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
