Why did Jesus eat and drink with sinners?
Don’t you ever think that your church doctrine robs from the grace of Christ?

Most Christian not only celebrate Christmas as a time to take joy in Jesus’ coming but to also shine that light you speak of as a means of pointing to Christ so that those can know the reason for the joy.

I would not mind attending those Holy Days that your church practices but, I am probably just considered a filthy heathen pagan by your church as a Lutheran, I’m just plain too perverted by the world.

Will you win any converts here?

Have just come here to troll as one of great piety to feel good about your lack of sinning, or the forgiveness of sin in the saving by Christ’ blood?

What is your motivation? Why do you think it will work?

I believe you are a saved, do you believe that I am. I know I am per the testimony of the Holy Spirit in my heart.

God Bless you. Not trying to offend, I just have what I consider questions.

There we have it. No Christmas, no grace. A new church doctrine.

What does one do the rest of the year? Hide their light under a basket?

I'd be more concerned about how God perceives me than any church if I were you. That's how I look at it.

Looking at your questions many seem to be asked from your belief that I believe I am more righteous or holy than others because I advocate for Christians keeping the holy days of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is incorrect.

I'll answer your questions but let me ask a couple of my own.

1. Do you consider it a fact that traditional holidays are more important for Christians to keep and observe than biblical holy days?

2. Do we as Christians have an obligation to our brothers and sisters in Christ to point out when they've strayed from the teaching of the Lord?
