Hi Jade,
Thanks for your honest thoughts. We need more of that instead of just saying what we think everyone wants us to say.
Love ya brother!!
Trust me, I don't get all bent out of shape because people celebrate Christmas or have a Christmas tree. It's a decission each individual has to make, and that decission should be from the heart and not because of what others think of them.
For me, personally, I get a little more uncomfortable each year I study this.
But that's just me. If you invited me over for Christmas dinner, I would not stomp out of your home screeming that you are a heretic because you had a Christmas tree!!!!!
For this thread I am just sharing some of the reasons that make me uncomfortable.
The real question each individual should ask is:
Do I celebrate Christmas because that's what most Christians do? Or, do I celebrate Christmas because I REALLY believe it is a legitimate religious festival of the true Christ?
Have Christians really tried to look into this Christmas stuff????
