Where in the bible does it say Christians should celebrate Christmas?

Question

If there isn't why do you celebrate it?

Answer 1

They celebrate it because Catholic started celebrating the Pagan Sun God Tammuz / Dummuzi's birthday then. This was in order to bring more "pagans into "the fold."" lol

Look for the TRUE story of the Mother and Child here in the Two Babylons by the Rev. Alexander Hislop.

Christ was not born then, and God said, better is the day of your death than the day of your birth.

Also, what do two fertility items and a Sex Goddess (Aestarte) have to do with Jesus (the EGG and Rabbit)? BOTH symbols of fertility and Astartes symbols. Not Christs.

Actually, we know that John the Baptist was born 6 months ahead of Jesus. John the Baptist was born during the Jewish month that falls around March/April (Nisan) which would have placed Christ’s birthday around September/October (Tishri).

While Saturnalia IS celebrated on December 25th, it was ORIGINALLY the date of the Sun God Tammuz, who's sign was the Cross or T. He was the son of Nimrod and Semiramis (who had herself declared a Virgin Mother of the Sun God and then had him sacrificed on December 25th in celebration to the sun). Nimrod was the Mighty Hunter in OPPOSITION to God; he was also Ham's (Noah's son) great-grandson. So, we see here that as far back as Nimrod & Semiramis, they were worshipping the Sun God and Cross on December 25th in Babylon.

Answer 2

There is no place in the bible where it is written that we should celebrate Christmas. But there are many other things in the Bible that we choose to ignore. The bible tells us that if our right hand causes us to sin, we should cut it off and if our eye causes us to sin, we should pluck it out. I do not see anyone doing this. But I do see a lot of people on this web site who get all bent out of shape because we celebrate the birth of Christ on Dec. 25. Isn't it amazing how we pick and choose what we want to get out of the bible and when it is not in the bible we debate its validity?

Answer 3

I accept as true with you that a great number of what gets surpassed on as "Christmas" traditions, etc., have no longer something in anyway to do with Jesus and His beginning. Even interior the Bible, little or no is reported approximately His beginning different than for assorted previous testomony prophecies, and a pair of chapters in Matthew's and Luke's gospels. As absolutely everyone who has examine the hot testomony can verify, plenty extra is written approximately His demise and resurrection from the lifeless. it is for sure so, because of the fact His beginning did no longer shop absolutely everyone or carry salvation. That got here later, after He died and rose lower back from the lifeless. The importing or grafting of pagan customs into and onto the Christian tale of Christ's beginning began, IIRC, with Constantine. He, i've got faith, grew to become into attempting to instruct the parallels between what the pagans had reported, and how that the Christian faith would desire to offer them an probability to boost into Christian via weaning them, so as to desire to talk, from the pagan traditions. Now, no rely if or no longer this surely befell is all and sundry's wager. little doubt many pagans have been extremely born lower back, switched over, and truthfully saved yet for sure no longer all of them have been. the actual question, of direction, isn't approximately what we rejoice or why or how. The question is, have you ever been born lower back? do you understand Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?

Answer 4

it doesn't. some christians feel no different on christmas than they do any other day. they don't do anything special on christmas. i celebrate it just because i want to. there isn't anything wrong with extra celebration.

Answer 5

You won’t find any because it is not there.
Nor will you find any reference to Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Years Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day or any other national holiday.
Some more modern translations have substituted Easter for Passover. Too totally different observances.
Jesus was born in the fall, not the winter. The Shepard’s were still in the fields with their flocks when Jesus was born. On Dec. 25th there is snow on the ground.

Answer 6

It doesn't.
Ancient Jews did not celebrate births. They honored people in their death.
However, John 10:22 shows Jesus partaking in the Chanukkah (Feast of Dedication) in Jerusalem.
Amazing how He celebrated Scriptural feasts while Christians today who profess to follow Jesus' example celebrate pagan holidays!

Answer 7

It doesn't. we celebrate Christmas because Jesus was born. And thats Just worth all the celebration in the world.

Answer 8

It is NOT suggested in the Bible.

Nor is celebrating ones Birthday!

Answer 9

It doesn't say to celebrate Christmas in the Bible.
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus.
This was my first year of not celebrating it.
Man has materialized it.
Some Religions don't celebrate Christmas.

Answer 10

Actually, the bible condemns so-called "Christmas".

Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. They do NOT celebrate so-called "Christmas" because "Christmas" does NOT celebrate Christ; "Christmas" celebrates the pagan Saturnalia. Jesus was not even born in December. Nearly all so-called Christmas customs dishonor Christ.

(Jeremiah 10:2-5) This is what Jehovah has said: "Do not learn the way of the nations at all... 3 For the customs of the peoples are just an exhalation, because it is a mere tree out of the forest that one has cut down, the work of the hands of the craftsman with the billhook. 4 With silver and with gold one makes it pretty. With nails and with hammers they fasten them down, that none may reel. ...the doing of any good is not with them."

By contrast, it's tragic that the one holiday Christ actually *DID* ask Christians to commemorate is entirely ignored by almost all of Christendom. It is, of course, the Memorial of Christ's death, sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".

(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.”

(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.”


Christ Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have done so on the same Jewish calendar date as Jesus did, Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "Fourteen-ers", because the early Christians were well-known for this true holy day.

How would Jesus feel to learn that the holiday he commanded was widely ignored, while his so-called followers chose to celebrate a pagan false god and their own traditions of men? We don't need to wonder.

(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”
