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.

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.

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.

the facts of history are that the day of unconquered sun was given a christian label. that don't change a thing. God never told nobody to protest against a pagan day with another day. Jesus never told no one to celebrate his birth. regardless of what you say, people of christendom do celebrate Jesus's birth on December 25. And God never became a man. That is what we can call a myth.

I have celebrated Christmas. Some days were fun and others were not. None of them had Christ in it. And you know that Christmas is based on lotsa lies like such as Santa and rudolf. Why wait until december 25 to buy gifts fer your relatives and friends? the nameless one buys gifts for his family at different times of the year. the nameless one is kind to people everyday. dont need no christmas to do that. Christmas is also heavily commercialized. you just enriching Satan's commercial world.

Paul did not have christmas in mind. he didnt know what it was. The context is about the relationship between jews and gentiles. why you think Romans 14:1, 2 say about eating vegetables or not eating them? Paul talking about jewry.

paganism is associated with darkness according to Paul. Read 1 and 2 corinthians.

You taking Romans 14 out of context. That verse is saying that days approved by God under the Mosaic law may be judged the same or special. still, no one should impute any saving religious importance to those days. You can find this out in Galatians 4:8-11.
Robdar
You dont need to set aside a false religious day to show kindness to others. Recall them Israelites that had a festival to Jehovah in the wilderness? their festival to God was really a party for the demons.
