Is it OK to celebrate a holiday that's not in the Bible? 

And when it’s too late to fix….maddening. 😂😂😂

My brain seems always goes faster than my fingers.

Yes. 😂

@@sarahfaith316 Let me enlighten all the children here...including Mike. Hanukkah,Saturnalia,Christmas are all celebrating the same thing......what thing? The WINTER SOLSTICE! The sun/light/Jesus "dies" at the end of the yearly cycle on Dec 22nd....the winter solstice. The word solstice means "sun stands still"....and it does....... The sun seems to be "dead"......... However THREE DAYS LATER (sound familiar?) the sun comes out of it's grave and the new baby Jesus/sun.....is ready for his journey round Galilee. (Galilee means cycle btw). It's the story of the sun and the cycle of TWELVE MONTHS (the 12 disciples who accompany him). It's all ALLEGORY!

Is it the apostrophe in "Holiday's" (sic) ?

Quite honestly if you speak to most people that take part in food banks, soup kitchens, clothing programs etc. You will find most of them have some connection to Christianity. You don't have to be a Christian to do these things, but Christians even if only nominal are more inclined to do them. Christians are less likely to go to widespread protests because they are more interested in their local communities rather than widespread social justice movements.

Love how simple your testimony is. I'm so glad you found God :)

@@jamesfitzgerald1684 And maybe that's for the best, christians getting too involve with politics or social movements may not always look good for us.

@CJ Dennis oh, I disagree. Slavery, was brought to a stop (legally - I know it remains a problem) because of Christians objecting to and campaigning against it - on Biblical grounds specifically.

@@elizabethryan2217 Hi Elizabeth. I would encourage you to look up a man named William Wilberforce. He was the man (among many others) who abolished slavery in the United Kingdom along with several other areas. He was also inspired to fight for the abolishing of the slave trade because of his Christian conviction.

So christian freedom under the spirit's guidance equals lawlessness?😯 I didn't know that the spirit of God was lawless...🤷

@@jacksoncorp124 The Spirit of God isn't lawless, that's the point. He said "under the Spirit's guideance", which isn't lawless.

Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 8:6-8 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. If the Spirit is leading, it will lead us to be lawful, to be subject to God's Law. Christian freedom has to do with being freed from being slaves to sin. Saying "instead of law" sounds wrong to me.

“In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” Heb 8:13 The law given at Sini is the old covenant. We are under a new and different covenant than the one given by God to the Hebrews at Mt Sini.

The Spirit is not going to guide us to do the things that this world loves, though. We are not saved by the keeping of the Law, but the Law never stopped being good and it is still a guide to show us what is good and what is evil.

❤️ Look into the Fall Feasts, some believe He was born around feast of Trumpets and some think Feast of Tabernacles, both are part of the fall feasts. That put's His birth around September/October. Both of those Feasts do make sense prophetically. It seems God uses His feast days for all big things He plans to do, past and future. It's all very interesting to look into! We began keeping the Feasts as Christians a few years ago. Why wouldn't we? They are all about Jesus! Another interesting thing to note is that the fall feast time of year makes more sense, weather wise, that shepherd's would've been outside, out in the fields. 😊 Edited to add- I think it's so cool that your 17 year old would ask! I love that! We do lightly celebrate Christmas, (after a few years of not celebrating it anymore) really for the fellowship with others of the faith and I do think all days belong to Him and we can remember His birth anytime, but we are of the belief that He was born in the fall and do remember His birth during fall feast celebrations.

@@bonniet6275 Thanks for all of that, Bonnie! I had heard some say they thought He was born in April possibly, but I'm not sure why they thought that. And as far as your comment about why not keeping the Feasts, I agree. My family has been watching The Chosen since Easter of 2020 and it has really opened up our interest to the Jewish faith and customs. I love how the show has really done their homework to show so much of it. My favorite was Jesus saying the "Bedtime Shema". I was like, "what is that beautiful prayer?! I want to say that before I fall asleep every night, too." The show even helped inspire my son to become more spiritual, hence the questions he's asking. We know it's a tv show, but it has really done a lot for our family to encourage us to read our Bible. I will look into all that you mentioned and do my homework. 🙂 Thanks again for taking the time to respond, really appreciate it!

We can't know when Jesus was born, but the 25th is the day that we have. If you want to celebrate His birth with others, that is the only day I know of where there is a general agreement. So a general agreement, so to speak, on the day of celebration. Not on the actual day, since that is not known.

That's awesome your son asked that question!

In some countries they celebrate Christmas on January 7th. My friend from Ukraine celebrates it then. I like that because it just extends the season. ❤️💚❤️

Amen

Yep and they should do it for the right reasons. Maybe they should care about the origins and what some of the traditions represented.

@@ourgreathighpriest1601 The origins are irrelevant. What matters is what it means to the people celebrating it right now.

Stacey, same here and I feel the same. Blessings!

@@davegink9222 I disagree. The origins are important. Like, why are there Christmas tress and Christmas decorations and lights when this has nothing to do with Jesus' birth? Why December 25th instead of in the spring or summer? When you dive deep into the origins, from the tree to the date, you see that it started hundreds of years before Jesus. However, I do not want to argue about it. This is my point of view and my conviction.

Telling kids Baby Jesus brings them gifts is very dangerous. It is one of the reasons my dad did not believe in God. Just as kids grow up and stop believing in Santa as they realize their parents get the gifts, kids can grow up and stop believing in Jesus.

@@Andreamom001 I never was taught that nor do I endorse it for the exact same reasons. My point is that here Christmas is very tied to Christianity. It's more than a holiday

@@Andreamom001 I don't think anyone teaches that Jesus brings the gifts, and as a kid I remember just naturally knowing that my parents bought the gifts and knew that Santa Clause as a man wasn't a real thing. I hope your father was or is able to learn that belief in God is different from belief in Santa Clause. Have a blessed day.

@@Andreamom001well if we are Going to celebrate Christmas what’s wrong with Santa?

@@raquel4171whats wrong with Santa?

Let’s remember also that it was God, Himself who had the angels tell the shepherds and He put the star in the sky for the magi. The birth could have just happened and no one would have “celebrated.”

Tammuz (false god) was born on 25th of December, so you're not celebrating Yeshua's birthday. And it is pagan, look at Satan Claus... I mean Santa.

And I forgot to mention the Christmas tree is pagan too, look at Jeremiah 10:1-5

@@YehovaFirst Mithra, Horus, Dionysus etc being born on 25th December was based on false information via a viral video called Zeitgeist bro. The Jeremiah passage refers to carving idols from a tree. Regardless if there was one of the many so-called gods having something to do with the 25th December (there's actually no evidence to prove this), there's nothing wrong with having a special day to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. But it's also OK if you choose not to do this :)

@@YehovaFirst Did you not watch Mike Winger's video on Jeremiah 10 lol.

@@chriper77 There's no evidence that proves that Yeshua was born on 25th of December either but here we are.

Soma scriptura problema Did not paul told you not every thing was written in the bible Christmas is a tradition of the catholic church Live with it

There is no way that you actually believe Jesus was birthed on Christmas.

commercialization can also happen in the Torah pursuant communities. Many people spend large amounts of money in any given biblical feast day/week. many people are, of course, wise with their money when saving for sukkot for instance but there are many people who are wise when saving for and preparing for Christmas too. Its the person/family issue as to whether they are wise stewards with their finances not the specific celebration issue. Big events happen, weddings, funerals, feasts, and holidays. People need to read more proverbs and less blaming it on a certain holiday.

@@angelcollector22What’s wrong with spending money for the Most High’s holidays? Xmass isn’t the Most High’s holidays. It’s a fake holiday. It’s not going to be in the Kingdom.

If it helps, Christmas was celebrated well before there was a Roman Catholic church in any meaningful sense.

The Roman Catholic Church does not get to claim Christmas.

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd totally agree with Brian here. People place the RCC way too early on the historical timeline. The RCC as we know it really developed much later. There is much confusion about this. It doesn't help that the RCC went back in time and Sainted and "Poped" a bunch of godly men many hundreds of years post mortem so people think they were actually part of the Roman Institution. But they weren't.

I’m a Protestant but Catholics are Christians. There are plenty of truly God fearing Christians in Catholicism as there are cultural born-into Sola Scriptura Protestants.

Read the end of Deuteronomy 12 see if you’ll change your mind.

@Fanci McGuffin Amen!!

@@Justmydiscoveries I did and you are taking it out of context. It specifically refers to the nation state of Israel. However, even if we continue with this idea that we are not to worship as them we have to ask ourselves how these pagans worshiped their gods. A verse in the same chapter point out 1. We don't burn our children. I do not believe I sacrifice my children on Christmas or any time. Other ways could include orgies, debauchery, prostitution, naked singing. So I'm finding it hard to come up with how Christmas does any of these. Just because we took the day does not mean we are worshiping God like pagans do.

Putting the fake Santa aside, I believe the season of 'Christmas' (the word literally translating to the gathering of people for Christ) does a lot to highlight Christ. For those not seeking God, it means just worldly pleasure and fun but for those seeking, it's a powerful reminder that JESUS the Son of God was born into the world to save sinners. It always brings me joy. 😀

@@Justmydiscoveries I won’t. Because I’ve studied it in context.

No neither Christmas nor Easter is rooted in anything pagan. Not even if some traditions might be similar to pagan ones. Christmas is rooted in God Himself lowering Himself to becoming fully human being born as a baby, including becoming completely helpless. Easter is about the Resurrection. Jesus Christ, the Son of God rising from the dead in victory over sin, death and the Devil after atoning for my sins and yours by dying on the cross. Without Christmas and Easter there IS NO Christianity.

@@markhorton3994 Dude, Christmas and Easter came LONG after Christ. There was definitely Christianity without either of those holidays. The Catholic Church made them prominent by taking pagan observances and putting Christianity behind it.

I know what they’re “supposed” to represent

Did you know that Martin Luther invented the Christmas tree? The man who coined the Phrase Sola Scriptura and got thrown out of the RCC for it. More accurately for rejecting the authority of the pope which is an obvious consequence of Sola Scriptura. Christmas trees do not have a pagan origin. Other Germans followed Luther's tradition including Prince Albert and from him his wife Queen Victoria. The world followed her example.

@@markhorton3994 interesting, but not sure why you replied to my comment. I have no problem with Christmas trees. My problem is with Santa Claus, specifically parents and other adults that lie to kids about Santa being a real magical, all-knowing, Christmas demigod.

I feel so conflicted about this I was saved after my kids were already in the Santa thing they are still in that magical age and they love it I can’t bear to let them down Instead … I try to downplay Santa now and make sure to focus on Jesus our Lord of Lords

@@anamosa1574 you have to tell them the truth.

@@anamosa1574Hope you tell them the whole truth and the Most High’s truth.

He has a video about Jeremiah 10. That passage is about the God's condemnation of ancient cultures around Israel who carved wooden images and overlayed them with gold and silver, paraded them around and worshiped those graven images

@@Indigolily80no that’s a Christmas tree

@@mastergirl922 Exactly. It's so obviously talking about a Christmas tree that if anyone denies it, they're just being willfully ignorant at this point.

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd Jeremiah 10:1-25: The Sovereignty of God 1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. 6Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. 8But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. 9Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. 10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 11Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 12He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 13When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 14Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 15They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 16The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. The Coming Destruction 17Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. 18For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. 19Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. 20My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. 21For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 22Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. Jeremiah's Prayer 23O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 24O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd this is what I responded to you on the other thread: @user-en9vv2st3e notice that verse 3-4 states that they "cutteth a tree out of the forest with the axe", and that they "deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not." Very clearly this is referring to them cutteth a tree out of the forest with the axe and decorating it. Also notice that it is clearly described as having remained a tree by being compared to a palm tree in verse that says "5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not". If this is merely an idol, why doesn't God describe it as a statue carved out of stone common to what idols were made from during this period?

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd Jeremiah was active as a prophet from the thirteenth year of Josiah, king of Judah (626 BC), until after the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 587 BC. This period spanned the reigns of five kings of Judah: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Rome was founded in 753 BC, which is 127 years before the prophet Jeremiah, and it is well known that the Romans celebrated the winter solstice by cutting and decorating a fir tree in their homes. Before Rome the Greeks were decorating their temples with trees as a symbol of sacrifice to their gods. This practice is what God is addressing through the prophet Jeremiah.

​@@ajlouviere202 Jeremiah 10:3 specifies the tree is worked by a craftsman - the term refers to skilled labor, particular an engraver. The tree is being made into an idol. And as far as I know the cutting of firs was a much later germanic custom, not a Roman one. If you have a reputable source that says otherwise, I'll gladly look at it.

@Tableú I celebrate Jesus everyday. To combat pride month I call it humility month.

Romans 14 doesn’t mention “xmass” because there was literally no “xmass” at that time. Also, it has to do with fasting on certain days. At that time, people were observing the Sabbath and Festivals mentioned in Leviticus 23.

No it’s not. That’s not the Most High’s words. Also, there is no “xmass” mentioned then because there was no “xmass” then.

I heard we must travel to jerusalem to keep the feasts. (Cannot confirm 100% tho)

False teachers do that - they do not know God Almighty.

Yep. Don’t participate in empty customs of the nations.

You are completely ignoring the principle in Romans that Mike pointed out.

What encyclopedia?

@@dahelmang and you are completely ignoring "come out from among them and be ye separate, says the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing.". 2 Corinth 6:17

I’m definitely not worshipping other gods, only God in my mind and heart when I do Christmas. The parts of the holiday I don’t feel comfortable doing I just don’t do like Santa Claus, songs that don’t glorify Jesus and obligatory gift giving. Decide in your own mind what to do or not to do and then proceed with a clear conscience in faith to honor Jesus.

@@mikedickison5003 that passage is about marrying people who are not believers. If you look at I Corinthians 8 you will see that the New Covenant has more room for freedom than the Old Covenant: "But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. - 1 Corinthians 8:7-8

I wish that they would all come to the knowledge of the truth after they've been saved, but many do not unfortunately... 1 Timothy 2:3-4 GOD’S WORD Translation 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior. 4 He wants all people to be saved and to learn the truth.

That statement by Christ is often misconstrued by Christians to say that we no longer have to keep the Sabbath. Christ never changed the Sabbath (the church did that a few hundred years after Christ), rather He questioned the Pharisees interpretation of the law, slammed them for adding a bunch of rules and misinterpretations that sucked the life out of the Sabbath. Man wasn't created in order to be obedient to a bunch of man-made rules the Pharisees created in regards to the Sabbath day of rest, instead man was created in order to commune with God and live at peace with Him, at least one day per week and symbolic of the Millennial Sabbath and eternity with God. The Sabbath is a day we should dedicate to God and do good things for our neighbours and we should refrain from our customary work as far as possible, and at least try keep it on it's rightful day.

@@mattburns617 I agree with Paul.."Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." If people want to set one day aside for that, then that's better than nothing.

@@tableu9704 agree with you entirely about the false fire.. when I said holidays I meant like taking the spouse out for a nice dinner on Feb 14th. Like resurection Sunday without the bunny and eggs. and honoring passed service members on memorial day. Waving the flag and fireworks on July 4th and our labor force on labor day, thanksgiving turkey and family, and Christmas day without the tree and such with family talking about Christ's birth. Honoring a commitment to GOD not only these days, but the other 355+ days of the year. Holidays are what the secular world does for days off and maybe getting drunk. Christians should be about God's business regular days, but these days especially.

@Tableú Romans 14 New King James Version The Law of Liberty 14 Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. 5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; [a]and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died [b]and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [c]Christ. 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another [d]anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

Because that’s gonna look a lot worse for you than for them.

Yes, because my salvation isn’t dependent on what I do but on what Jesus did for me. His shed blood is my propitiation for sin (not that celebrating Christmas is a sin.)

Nowhere in the Bible is salvation dependent on the celebration or non-celebration of a holiday.

@@toliveischrist950AMEN

@To Live Is Christ, your salvation absolutely depends on what you do or do not do! You must accept Jesus, you must repent and you must be born again! There's even more but that's the basics.

I choose not to celebrate christmas (or any other holiday for that matter) as well, but I find it to be more of a wisdom issue than a salvation issue. Deuteronomy 12:30-31b and Revelation 2 - the nicolaitans, are my reasons for not celebrating. When it comes to christmas in particular (and the tradition of gift exchange associated with it), I find it rather interesting that the only mention of gift exchange mentioned in the Bible that I am aware of is in Revelation 11, and many translations translate the verse as "make merry" as part of said gift exchange. I get the point of your ? though, is the risk of being in disobedience to God worth the reward of the warm and fuzzy feelings you maintain by holding on to your traditions.

True. Christianity cult says otherwise.

Luke 6:22-23 ❤️

Why not actually teach what he taught?

Macabees is not in the Bible. The Catholics think it is in the Bible, but Jews have never considered it Scripture.

He did a whole video about Christmas trees and Jeremiah 10.

Yes I just heard this about Maccabees today!

@@susanalday4368 yeah they are interesting books. It's nice to see the fulfilment of the prophecies found in Daniel. But Catholics are mistaken when they consider the book Scripture because it is just history. It wasn't written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Good comments.

The scripture quoted was written 200 years before the Emperor of Rome created xmas as a political move to create peace between the Roman pagans & the growing Christian population. In context, Paul was referring to Jewish sabbaths & holy days being made law for gentiles. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and observed all Jewish holy days and Sabbaths...because He was Jewish.

@@chickintruth but that’s okay, because God knew the future 200 or 2000 years later. As All scripture inspired by God, he knew the Bible would be used for more than the current one generation.

@@Prin_Cess_007 Sure, if that be the case; (and i agree with you)..then we must consider all 66 books to be as relevant and foreshadowing. One very good example would be Jeremiah 10:2. Bless you.

@@chickintruth except that’s the old testament and for Jewish. Just as the tribulation is for Jacobs trouble. All scripture is relevant and can be learned from, but only the New Testament applies to the gentiles that are now grafted in :)

No Saternalia has nothing to do with Christmas. Christmas is after Saternalia on the calendar. Saternalia was a drunken orgy. Nor does Christmas have anything to do with Sol Invicta, Horus, Osiris, or any other pagan festival or god. Nor of those connections holds up under scrutiny.

I think you could argue that, but it does come across as a random detail if it wasn't intended to explain why he was there at that time.

Fair... I just think it matters why the festival is celebrated; what it represents and what signs and symbols it has, most especially the overall spiritual meaning. It certainly matters to God whether we celebrate His Holidays or our own. And His festivals have significant meaning, always pointing us to the sacrificial lamb, whom we know is Jesus Christ.

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd Maybe it just gives context of what was happening at the time...what other people were doing.

I agree. Really, that would be like saying an anti Christmas person is celebrating Christmas because they were walking through the mall during a Christmas sale.

You can celebrate tarot cards and Halloween in the glory of God? You are misleading baby Christians with this kind of fallacy; you are not being honest.

@doll.ov.poetrii4682 why would you celebrate an inanimate object? You are misleading people with faulty thinking. As far as Halloween, it's OK to play dress up and have fun. People don't generally celebrate Halloween for nefarious purposes. It's what's in you heart. Not how what others think of you. I won't argue anymore because the bible tells us not to argue over things that are not sinful if someone else believes they are. So I'll leave it at that. It's a sin for you if you believe it is but not for me. My heart is right with God

Show me where xmass is in the Bible.

As an ex vampire...I totally agree....
