God sent his son among us to save us and we should not celebrate his having done so?

That's part of the reason for His holy days. He's got it covered. There was no reason to make up days.

He did not send him to condemn the world, he sent him to save the world.

Certainly. And one of those ways is to live the truth...to see the light...

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
Joh 3:20  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 
Joh 3:21  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

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.
