Thanks Cap!

Hey guys did you notice that Jesus isn't in that song?
I'll throw everybody a curve. Especially some of my fellow Christians.

Christmas is a holiday. Many celebrate it. Some as a holiday to remember Jesus' birth. Some just to be with and appreciate family and friends. Some are just glad to have a day off.

Dec. 25th is not Jesus' birthday. Now I know that this is not news to many. The bible shows his birth to be possibly in the spring in Acts. Shep
herds would have been in the field at night in the spring.

Acts 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

What is news is that we are not told to celebrate his birth in the bible on any date. We are however told that we are to celebrate his death on the first day of the week. That's every first day of the week, every Sunday. In the form of the lord's supper.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Luke 22 also gives an account of the Lord's supper.

As Christians we are to do all things regarding worship by the authority of the bible.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

In spirit - with the right attitude. And in truth - the true way the bible shows we are to do it. By examples and direct commands.

It seems to me to be a slap in the face to say "Jesus, even though you did not command us to we will celebrate your birth on some random day that coincides with an ancient pagan holiday, but we won't do what you said and remember your death, your ultimate sacrifice, on a weekly basis as you have shown us to do."

Food for thought.

Damn Paul...I'm impressed!

I like it !


As for the rest of this . . .

Christ mas . . . nuff said.

Thanks George!
Do you observe other "mas" or Catholic masses?
