original quote by icemoon

Seriously if you say Jesus was never born, then you are denying the Isaiah prophecy and him being 100% human. And this is a heretical thought.

Cheeers.

I never said that Jesus was never born... I said that Stella said that Jesus was never born... read carefully ok?

You can't keep the Sabbath on Saturday. Not in our culture. Though government promoting 5 day week, but some people are still working on Saturday.

Actually many churches have service/mass on Sat, so in a sense they're keeping the sabbath on the correct day.

I think not many Christians keep the whole Sunday free as per the original Sabbath idea. Nowadays you can have midweek service and cell group on Sat or weekdays, so religious activities are spread out.

in jest lah... Mr. Green

Good night lau. Hope all is well with you. God Bless.

u seem to be classifying me under those part time christians who only worships during easter,goodfriday or christmas..

my argument is flawed,we make sunday the day to go church to worship,but we do that on ourselves everyday..and to commerorate the day where he came to earth what is so wrong about that?

if it brings more ppl to know about christ,just whats so wrong with it?u seem to make it sound like celebrating christmas is taboo just because its not in the bible..

i dun wana go into evangelising,but christmas is the one day where i find it easier to let friends know about christ,because it is significant..to let them know where it all started,how he came and died and because of us..

stellazio SG

double post.

When John baptised Jesus, did he follow any Old Testament precedent? No he did not. It was not in the Laws of Moses. But Jesus also allowed himself to be baptised in a ceremony not sanctioned by the Prophets.

So- cannot ah?
So, celebrate the birth of Jesus is wrong ah ?

Come on lah, don't behave like Jewish Pharisees and Muslim Ayatolahs..........all fundalmentalists who claim they know the holy books but got no love in their hearts..........(they only love their theology, not their God)

Jesus was a rebel who understood the heart of his Father in heaven.......

I think Jesus would have celebrated Christmas if he were to be around in Orchard Road..............afterall, he mixed with tax collectors, prostitutes, and assorted sinners of all kinds.

He would have preached to the Banglas, forgave repentant audulterers, healed the sick and comforted the broken hearted ..............while 'holy' people avoid such "sinful" places.

1. sunday was never the correct day to begin with.
2. like I said about christmas, the spririt behind it is wrong.
3. the significant thing is not about Christ's birth, but His death, we have victory and salvation because of His death, not His brith. I make a big deal about it not being in the bible because we are asked to obey God. Read 2 Peter for his exposition on destructive heresies and the like. The bible is our guide and not man. Christmas was created by the RC chuch.
4. if you don't get it, you don't get it. what is wrong with celebrating christmas? you celebrate a pagan festival and get caught up with all the little other things that go along with christmas, like the mistletoe, the streamers round the tree, etc... these are all parts of the pagan ritual which was normalised and in this the devil has the church deceived... and it is not celebrated on the correct day. How would you feel if someone celebrated your birthday 3 months later?

breytonhartge SG

celebrating the birth of Christ is not wrong, but to adpot a pagan celebration to give glory to God is somehow very warped in my opinion.

and what does it say in the bible, that God will write His commandments on OUR HEARTS.

i think that you misunderstand, I love God and His teachings for how can you say you love God unless you know God, I make the distinction here between knowing about God and knowing God. How do we get to know God, through spending time in prayer and in HIS WORD.

Jesus was a rebel who undestood the heart of the Father, but do we?

Jesus would not have celebrated Christmas because He would have recognised the correct spirit behind it. We are asked to discern the spirits or to test the spirits behind things. Also, chistmas is the mass of Christ, which was only instituted way after His death. Jesus himself would not have celebrated christmas because it is not within the Jewish custom to celebrate birthdays.

Mixing with tax collectors and prostitutes etc... how does that relate to Jesus celebrating christmas? Yes He associated with people that the pharisees or "holy" people would not, but it was only because He was looking to restore them to God.

shalom to you.
