he has a metal detector) would be great too.. what gadgets would you men buy for yourselves if you could?.

jesus was not born on december 25. that is not his birthday.
why is this day observed as jesus's birthday?
because some christians thought it was fine to mingle christianity with paganism.
the christmas "policy" has been discussed on the nameless one's terms. if he wants to talk bout blood on the terms of the nameless one, the nameless one will do that.

you not seeing the issue correctly. the nameless one's point that wedding rings were not intricately tied to false religion exclusively in the past, not today.

ancient jews and early christians did not celebrate birthdays. the lord never told his followers to celebrate his birth either. it was the romans that came up with the idea of indirectly worshiping the sun god. can anything clean come from something unclean? nope.
about the wedding ring. it not so much pagan origins but pagan religious origins. light and darkness dont mix.
the meaning of christmas has not changed. it was conceived in sin and it is now a full grown deviation of christendom. if it so innocent, why early christians and ancient jews reject birthday celebrations. we can thank Jehovah for Christ without celebrating a festival to Jehovah, so called.
trauma
you all dont know whether Jesus returned in 1914 or not. I believe that he did and you don't. that your choice. but Jesus's presence has nothin to do with no longer celebrating the lord's evening meal. Jesus said to observe the evening meal until he arrives. he dont arrive until the last of the annointed have been taking up to heaven.
"The observance of Christmas is not of divine appointment, nor is it of NT origin. The day of Christ's birth cannot be ascertained from the NT, or, indeed, from any other source."
That from Mclintock and Strong.

no it aint just about being stingy. i just have problem with following man made customs like christmas that are pagan in origin.
shakita
it not just about something being pagan. christmas is based on pagan religious worship day. it appropriates many practices of pagandom. there a difference between following a pagan calendar and having a festival to Jehovah and bowing to a golden calf.

christ can judge. i aint no judge. the nameless one jest want people to think about what they do and not be uncritical sheep. Jesus warned about man made traditions.

neon
a christians can observe a day like sabbath that they want to. they shouldnt attribute religious importance to it though. these celebrations are for weak believers.

some jews ate vegetables instead of eating meats offered to idols or unclean animals. those were vegetarian jews in first century.
