We also know his death and resurrection is what we honor. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77994546 I don't debate facts cause all your doing is casting pearls These are the lukewarm that will be spewed out of his mouth! And what fool believes Friday to Sunday is 3 days All Sunday counterfeit Christianity worship and we are to come out if that. there again was no death and meat suits are never go to heaven.. you have been had. He survived the cross.. walked in his meat suit ot India and his meat suit passed there when he was about 115 years old. His words. his grave in Srinagar is public |

But then there are the lights and the food and the family and the gifts. LOVE IT!!!!!

It’s not in scripture except for the warnings not to participate in pagan practices. Our saviour didn’t celebrate it, He was here till He was 33 years old. He was born around September (fall) when His parents went from Bethlehem to Egypt. (This will be my 3rd year of not participating. I’m Natsarim, we follow scripture, not any organized religion. We keep the Sabbath and the Feasts of YHWH, which we are instructed to do in scripture. I’m still learning all of this 😊 Sharing this now so friends no why I don’t say merry christmas back in advance.) [link to youtu.be (secure)] In early fall We can estimate when Jesus was born by counting backward from his death on Passover, Nisan 14 in the spring of the year 33 C.E. (John 19:14-16) Yahusha (Jesus) was about 30 years old when he began his three-and-a-half-year ministry, so he was born in the early fall of 2 B.C. —Luke 3:23. God bless you, Kate! You are following Christ well. My wife and I have not celebrated Christmas in over 30 years, as like you, we are convinced that it is an utterly pagan holiday that Christians should have nothing to do with. We would as soon celebrate Halloween or Easter (Ishtar). Your mention of Natsarim is interesting, I will look into it. Neither my wife or I attend any organized church, as we found them all to have snakes in their pulpits. Yes, Jesus was indeed born in September (some say September 11!), but he was conceived around the winter solstice, December 23… the significance of this is that he came into the world at the time when it is (in the northern hemisphere, where Israel is) at its darkest, and was born on or near the Feast of Trumpets. I suspect that he may return in a coming September on or near that feast. We cannot know the day, or hour or week, but maybe the month? I don’t know for sure, but I had a witness in the Spirit about this years ago that seemed to indicate it. So glad you began this thread, Kate! |

Col 2:16-17 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22255432 I guess you failed to read this verse that is in your Bible. Feast Days, Holy Days, Sabbath Days are a shadow. A shadow of the good things to come in Christ. We now have Christ with us, therefore we don't need your Feast Days, Holy Days and Sabbath Days. Get it??? It’s what will take place in New Jerusalem when Yahusha (Jesus) reigns. That verse is about the times, the calendars were changed by the Roman church, so there’s debates all the time about when the actual 7th day is and the months now. That was prophesied to happen! We still do those things though!!! YHWH knows we are trying! |

I once was upset by the bastardization of the whole thing, but when it’s about Jesus none of that other stuff matters. Just keep Jesus in your heart and have a Merry Christmas Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83515325 Except it’s a Pagan sun worshiping celebration and has nothing to do with Yahusha (Jesus). |

No food to shop for, prepare nor serve. No presents to gather nor spend hours wrapping. No massive clean up. No false friendliness and good behaviour for one day. I don’t miss it. A burst of loving gratitude to the universe when I think of it, feels more natural. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 83156220 Canada 11/15/2022 07:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Merry Christ Mass Mass is a Catholic term meaning death sacrifice. You are literally saying Happy death to Christ. It's why witches love to say it. Yep, and the cross itself has been turned into a graven image! Christianity is a False religion created by Rome, so was Islam! It’s scary to learn the truth. Here’s the thing though, I know lots of Christians that truly love YHWH and His Son. That’s not gone anywhere, just the church doctrines. The only way to find your way out is to read Genesis to Revelation yourself. Then you’ll see! We praise the same. |
