I would like to think of the Christmas holiday. I think that some of the points that may be of interest:
To tell the truth, and Christmas is a holiday tradition of pagan origin. A religious holiday, which originated in the “Roman Church” to “celebrate” the birth of Jesus Christ. But there is no teaching in the Bible, which teaches that one should celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
During the pontificate of Pope Liberius (352-366), it was decided to repair the birth of Jesus in the middle of the night of December 24, the day the Romans celebrated Natalis Solis Invicti (the birth of the invincible sun). It is clear that the intention was to eliminate pagan worship. What day that Christ was born? Some theologians, based on the texts of the Bible, such as the different proposed dates 6 and January 10, 25 مارس 15 and April 20 and May 20, and others. But not December 24th !!!
“No one from the Apostles held this party, Galatians 4: 8-11. None of the faithful in the early first century churches celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. Date of birth is not known, and during the first 300 years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, none of the churches hold such an event, but during the fourth century, some of the “churches” (already left the teachings of the Apostles) began to hold “the saints days,” then “festival of Jesus Christ. “The man who had taken the position of” bishop “of many” churches “and said that all the” church “down the address was to celebrate on December 25 of each year to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. How was that he chose this date? Years pagans celebrated the birth of the sun that day. to attract pagans to “Christian” bishop chose that day. “[1]
If God wanted his people hold such a thing, and certainly could have been revealed in his speech.
Christmas day
We can urge the authority of the various Christian church groups in the world who celebrate this holiday, reminding some Bible passages are very strong, but not all “Christians” celebrate Christmas, for various reasons, which can not be analyzed here.
We may remember the warning of Revelation 22:18, 19. RVA 1960
“18 testify everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if more than one of these things, God will be adding his plagues that are written in this libro.19 and if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God deletes its share of the book of life, and the holy city, and what is written in this book. “
Although no one has said what ever is written in the Bible is nothing like celebrate Christmas, or the Lord commands us to celebrate such an event, or that the Lord spoke to someone who was not to be done.
Or this one:
“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, washing pots and cups: and you do many other things like that. I said, well you reject the commandment of God to keep your own tradition. [. ..] to make the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. and you do many things such as these “(Mark 7: 7-9, 13, RVA 1960)
Now, I am wondering one thing: to win from this position of “holy Hamas” to attract more people to Christ, away from her.
I always have in mind the Pharisee and the publican passage (Luke 18: 9-14, NKJV 1960)
Pharisee was worried about keeping all the traditions that are ordered by the Lord in his speech completely, and very strictly, but not the tax collector, but the heart of the Lord is pleased publican more than the Pharisee.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay ten of mint and anise and cumin, and omitted things the weight of law. Justice and mercy and faith. Must be exercised, without neglecting the former blind, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel” (Matthew 23: 23-24, KJV 1960).!
“Pharisees to prevent mosquitoes poured take drinks with gauze to avoid inadvertently eat mosquitoes. Jesus said” Colais law, and swallow a camel. “Jesus was a sense of humor. This happens to us when they lost in proporción.Es interesting sense of God compares justice and mercy and faith with spices: Mint (mint), dill (fennel) and latency. all three are fragrant, a few of them is required to flavor, without them food loses quality.- world devoid of justice and mercy and faith, and it must be full of the church what is the world. “[2]
One of the great dangers of the Christian is self-righteousness, which is only superestrictos wrap, so that we become strict legal, sour, and people are so very dangerous, and people come to us because they are afraid of our faith.
I do not mean to not be jealous of God’s word. Judy exhorts us to be steadfast in our beliefs.
“Beloved, when he gave all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints (Jude 1: 3, KJV 1960).
John is also clear about, I understand.
“All of abideth, not in the teaching of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not in your house, do not bid him God speed ! hello! because he says hello!:! partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 1: 9-11, NKJV 1960)
Of course, being sober in our behavior, and not take advantage of this carnival spirit to slice a brief period of our faith, and drink up “cup more” not depressed by those familaires we already have left forever, and we accompany us. I do not think it will do much to condemn those who are celebrating not blame them all pagan elements that contain the Christmas holiday.
If we were sages, we certainly take this optunidad to testicar of our faith in Jesus Christ. Ala them false customs and traditions, the world is Christian thought.
Let’s get the rule for this holiday Christmas party, and put into practice what is preached gave the apostle Paul to the Corinthians: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV 1960)
Maybe one day the Lord allow them to reconsider these theological issues in terms of importance, but I think now we have more important things to defend. Dbemos not forget that Western culture we have already considered postcristiana.Y culture away every day more and more of God
It is certainly a celebration of pagan origin. For we who are Presbyterian, Calvin and all the fathers and mothers of the Protestant Reformation Protestant publicly criticized this conclusion by considering non-Christian. During the sixteenth, seventeenth and seventeenth centuries. Evangelical Protestant and Presbyterian Church did not celebrate this holiday. And it was not until the early nineteenth century, S, with the advent of higher criticism of the Bible, and gave many things recionalismo achieved with the Protestant Reformation and the Roman celebration of the Presbyterian churches, and rejected most of them as part of the evangelical worship. It’s a shame that today, many of the Calvinist churches despite the theological position of Calvin, and the Westminster Confession of Christian primary and secondary teaching, theological and data on this issue, and even more than that teaches the practice of the Christian Church for many centuries, and of course, the most important, which is the word of God, and simulate agreed with Rome in this downturn….
