Did Jesus attend a "worldly celebration"?

by Westenddave in

hello community,.

my question in a nutshell is whether there is justification in celebrating worldly holidays, such as the 4th of july in the usa?.

let's look at a parallel.

"Whatever may be the case, the temple services were observed during the ministry of Jesus Christ. Zerubbabel’s temple had been rebuilt (replaced) more elaborately by Herod. For this reason and because of their dislike of Herod, the Jews usually make mention of only two temples, Solomon’s and Zerubbabel’s. Neither in the words of Jesus nor in any of the writings of his disciples do we find any condemnation of the Festival of Dedication. It is not, however, enjoined on Christians in the new covenant.—Col 2:16; Ga 4:10, 11; Heb 8:6."

@WOL

So we could say that everything that a Jew did is okay for us today if it was specially condemned by Jesus or Apostel, right? Let us see what they did else and was not condemned in the scriptures.

I cant see any reason why we should not take part in this beautiful Festival of Lights even today, if Jesus celebrated it, at least should Jewhish christians be allowed to do it.

New "most frustratingly addictive game ever" to play - agar.io

by Simon in

one of my kids got me hooked on this.

it's incredibly simple but also kind of fun and addictive.. you start as a small cell and need to eat things to grow.

that's pretty much the game.. of course as you get bigger you can eat smaller cells too ... and bigger ones can eat you.. as you get bigger you get slower but you can "eject mass" to shrink and speed you up (w key).

Hi, I dont know you. Fine you are here.

I once, many years ago used the profil name "True fromearth2" at H2O, at that time I wasnt yet ready to write much either listened. I thought how wonderful that there is a place to meet in internet.

Now I am here again, but I keep my face anonymous mostly because I am afraid that somebody of the "parallel word" could recognize me, althought that would be quite unlikely and I was never any highranker in that parallel org only a seeker of elysium. I like to have some secrets too. ;-)

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY

**things you never knew.

about the butterfly.

However metamorphosis evolved, the enormous numbers of metamorphosing insects on the planet speak for its success as a reproductive strategy. The primary advantage of complete metamorphosis is eliminating competition between the young and old. Larval insects and adult insects occupy very different ecological niches. Whereas caterpillars are busy gorging themselves on leaves, completely disinterested in reproduction, butterflies are flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar and mates. Because larvas and adults do not compete with one another for space or resources, more of each can coexist relative to species in which the young and old live in the same places and eat the same things. Ultimately, the impetus for many of life's astounding transformations also explains insect metamorphosis: survival.
