Who are you defining as "True Jesus Believers"? I truly have a relationship with Christ and I celebrate Christmas. However, I do know that the giving of presents and Santa Claus is not what it is about- and I know that Jesus probably wasnt born on Dec. 25. It is simply a time for us to remember and express thanks for the gift of our savior.

I'm a Christian and I believe in Jesus and I have no idea what you mean. What are True Jesus Believers in comparison to Christians? I would think they are the same thing.

Without claiming i have a better heart than those who observe the annual feast, i am to walk according to the light i have, and Christmas was not Christian to be begin with, but is a product of Rome's attempt to appease pagan "convert" with a "Christianized" version of Saturnalia.
God does not need help from distinctly pagan elements, and the Bible does not support Christianizing of such, but God makes a new creation (2Cor. 5:17).
The Bible also reproves the liturgical annual observance of "days, and months, and times, and years" (Ga. 4:10; Col. 2:16), except for the first day of the week (Act 20:7; 1Cor. 16:2).
Why would otherwise Holy Spirit-led pastors bow down 4 months out the years to observe the Christianized pagan festival, instituted by a false church? We are to come out of Rome, Egypt and Babylon, not go back into them.
The celebration of Christmas is like the idolatrous high places of old, which Jews sometimes turned into places of Jehovistic worship, but God wanted them destroyed, and such "Christianizing" perpetuated their places, allowing them to the more easily to revert back to their original form. ikewise Christmas has become today.
Christmas is a charade, a party to which Christ is not invited, and is tree that the Father has not been planted, which is to be cut down, and it is legalism and bondage to basically require us to observe it (members are persecuted if they do not). Instead, let us "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage "(Gal 5:1), and let us worship God in spirit and in truth, as He leads.

My friend is one of those. She says the Bible makes no indication when Christmas or Easter really occurred. Therefore, we are celebrating a pagan holiday or just a secular,commercialized event.

I am not sure why they don't celebrate it! I love Jesus with all my heart and celebrate Christmas! I celebrate His birth at this time! I know they say this is not the exact time that He was truly born, but this is when we celebrate it! It is my favorite time of year!! :)

"True Jesus" believers don't therefore the "other Christians" that do are what? False Christians? Is that what you are implying?
It is sad that you sit there and pass judgments on "other Christians" like that. 8:(

two reasons
1. There is no mandate to celebrate the birth of Christ.
2. Dec 24 th is not the date of Jesus Birth. We aren't sure, but some think Oct, or Nov and others think April. But we definitely know it was not in Dec.
Having said that we still go over the Bible story of the birth of Christ and preach about it in church..

True Jesus believers realize he wasn't a God, so celebrate him more realistically.
