I merely pointed out the serious logical flaw of saying that if celebrating Christmas is not mentioned in the Bible then it must, ipso facto, be a sin. That's the kind of faulty thinking that evidently passes for logic with 2sheep, ALS, and DouglasKC.

I am certain that I never stated that the absence of Christmas in the bible made celebrating it a sin. That's an absurd propostion on it's face. Thanksgiving is an acceptable holiday because it was created for the express purpose of giving thanks to God.

The roots of Christmas are undoubtedly and clearly pagan and bible forbids God's people from participating in pagan ceremonies. It's a form of idol worship. Putting other god's before God. Pagan gods in this case.

God being a just and loving God sanctified and blessed certain days, holy days, that were to be used to honor, commemerate, learn and fellowship with him. These are the days that he gave to us in the bible. The religious holidays of today are entirely man created, not God created.

Clearly stated and accurate.

Your approach to this debate is much more instructive. I tend to chide 2sheep a little, because he takes such a condemnation approach to the issues. Yours is more from a perspective of conviction.

Likewise, "morals" are entirely man created. Morality is a deceptive replacement for the avoidance of sin. If you are following Christian doctrine that is based on the Scripture, you are supposed to be led by the conviction of the Holy Ghost, not by the man made idols of "morality."
