Why some Christian-Bible Believer are Celebrating Christmas.
I wonder why several Christian bible believer are celebrating Christmas
which they know that it not in the bible, are they blinded by tradition or
bonded? Some pastor tough that Christmas is not in the bible and if you are
bible believer you should be aware of it and will not do it. Maybe, you are
sleeping when pastor taught it; wake up my brethren, Christmas celebration is
not base on the bible.
Some reason why Christian-Bible believer celebrate Christmas;
They say, they just mingle with their friend who is not a believer, they
won‘t that their friend to call them killjoy, or they won‘t their friend to
keep bad feeling to them that’s why they join in Christmas celebration, Others
are saying their kids are jealous to other kids who have a Christmas decoration
in their home like Christmas tree, that’s why they also put the same. Some say
it’s just a tradition.
These are many reasons why some brethren join in Christmas celebration, if
we truly believe in the bible we follow God command;
“‘Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it
nor take away from it’” (Deut. 12:32 NKJV).
Christmas is not from what we believing, so, why we follow it. what we needs
to be follow is what God commanded in the bible, anything added to what He
commanded is extraneous and is, therefore, merely man-made. If a man’s worship
or follow a religious observance made by men, such worship is in vain. Jesus
made this clear during His public ministry when He quoted what God said:
“And in vain they worship ME, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men”
(Matt. 15:9, Ibid.). They taught the teaching of man as teaching of God.
In the case of Christmas, this celebration has no biblical mandate. no specific instruction in the Bible, either from the Lord or from His
apostles, that Christmas is to be celebrated. Consequently, in the absence of
such a command, we also do not find in Scriptures any instruction as to the
manner by which it is to be done. There is no scriptural command or prescribed
procedure in connection to its celebration.
It’s difficult to see that our child got jealous to other children who
celebrating a Christmas, or our friend got mad on us if we did not join them, but as a Christian we should practice what the bible
say, this is a part of our faith that we should fight for, we are in the light, we should be the light of the world, an example of
truly Christian bible believer.
