Please don’t think I’m trying to be impertinent or anything, but I was just wondering in all innocence—do you folks ever run into people who complain about Reformation Day and say “this feast is not in the Bible—it’s a tradition of men”? You know...the kind of people who don’t celebrate Christmas and Easter?
That just occurred to me—if so, I’d find it kinda funny. :)
Nobody is opposed to traditions, like Easter and Christmas or annually recognizing any event, even as much as a birthday.
It’s traditions taught as if they were oracles of God Himself, on level with Scripture and necessary for salvation that people object to. It’s making up traditions hundreds or thousand(s) of years after the fact, when all true facts have been lost in time and there’s no way to verify or corroborate them, and declaring them as truth that people object to.
This is not a "holy day" honoring a "saint" (although no doubt Martin Luther is a Saint..)This is a day honoring the Gospel of Christ...and that is the good news of the bible..
The saved are free to celebrate holidays BTW because we enjoy the liberty in Christ
Act 10:15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
Happy Reformation day
