| Re: Celebrating Christmas vs. Celebrating Christ
ALL of men's days are subject to error. Think about Memorial Day...it was designed to recognize fallen soldiers in war and then expanded to remember anyone who is passed on (hence memorial), but now most of the time it is a time to go to the beach and have family gatherings and not even mention anyone who may have passed.
Thanksgiving has moved mainly from beng remembering the start of the nation and how the founders gave thanks for being helped by the natives to come together to eat...only to ise around 3am to go shopping the next morning!
July 4th, Labor Day, yes...even Christmas...are not what they were designed for.
THe only day as Christians that we are commanded to remember and recognize is the Lord's Day and that is every first day of the week (Acts 20:7). The daily thing comes from Acts 2 as the Christians met daily.
People are geting away from the truth and that is when they are led away by fables. I asked one guy about the manger scene and asked if that was what the Bible said and he said yes. So I took him to the Bible and showed how wrong it was in the way it is protrayed.
Let us take the time to first gets facts straight and then teach others about what we are to do as Christians and what not to do as Christians. SO we don't appear as the world does to the world and thereby causing some to stumble or be hindered by our actions.
