I bet you don’t observe Easter as holy either?
I get where your coming from, though. I do.
IMO EVERY Sunday is Easter Sunday. Where Christians come together - observe the LORDS Supper - and celebrate the fact we serve a risen Savior.
The Entire world has chosen a consensus date to celebrate the divine birth of the man who saved us all by sacrificing himself in a painful, miserable way. He showed us all that through his single sacrifice we have nothing to fear, we have everything to be thankful for, and that we are free in the free-est way.
The actual holiday is not the birth of Jesus. It’s not his birthday. The church declared this day to be his to take the wind out of the sails of the Pagani and the Heathens who celebrated Yule, Solstice, or some other tribal harvest / sacrifice holiday.
In my house we know it’s not his actual birthday. We just know this is the day we celebrate Him and his, and what he gave us all to enjoy forever.
Bah, humbug to you, too!

Romans 14:5New International Version (NIV)
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I missed the part where God said DON'T celebrate Him on any other days.
What the myths of Christmas? Santa Claus. Flying reindeer. Elves.
Rejecting these myths in no way implies rejecting a celebration of the birth of Christ.
Jesus born on December 25th.
I don't know anyone who doesn't know that the actual date is unknown.
I see you are using a computer—and electricity.
Absolutely NOWHERE in GOD’S HOLY WORD does it say we may use computers or electricity! Why do you disregard GOD’S HOLY WORD?!?!
He did not send him to condemn the world, he sent him to save the world.
If you seek only condemnation, you will get it.
