RE: What lightens my mood on christmas day

in Hive Learnerslast year

We all grow up to see that Christmas is a Christian feast and a day that we celebrate the birth of Christ but then, when I looked in detail what Christmas is, I discovered that there was no such practice by Christ nor even his own apostles or those that were after the apostles but then in about some years ago can't really say the exact year but I know it was many years from the death of Christ that the feast called Christmas started.

But even before that, there was already a similar feast that looked similar to this Christmas we see today and that feast was the celebration of the sun god called Saturnalia. If you can take your time to find out what that feast entails you will see that it is what people celebrate today but under the camouflage that it is the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Christmas is not a feast that the Bible recognized and it is not how we as Christians should show love, we are to share and show love every day of our lives and not annually. Like you said, you wished Christmas Could be every day and that's just how it should be.

I asked a friend sometime what Christmas means and he said it is the Thanksgiving of Christ, the question is, shouldn't we thank God every day for his son he sent to die for us? And if Christmas was so necessary why didn't God tell us about it or at least why didn't the apostles observe it?

No one really knows the date Jesus was born, so December 25 was just a fixed date to remember him, I don’t really count it as his birthday … Moreover it is my first time seeing stuff about the sun god and there are many things that is beyond us…

Just going with the flow, ther are many things that is not clear but one thing I know is God exist ….

So you don’t celebrate Christmas in your church ?

Exactly, everyone knows that but they somehow made us still accept it with so many reasons given and like you said, some just want to flow with the trend afterall it has some good features in it.

You are right, God exists and he has given us a way he wants us to serve him, we don't have the right to decide how we worship him because he said the true worshippers must worship him in truth and in spirit.

My advice to you Dad is to try asking more questions about Christmas and also do well to find answers in the Bible because that is a Christian's only source of authority nothing else. It is wise to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where it is silent.

Good morning dad, I'm so sorry I had to respond to this now, I was just feeling a bit lazy and tired. Hope you are doing well?

Good morning my lovely daughter❤️, it is ok to take a rest when you are tired😉

meanwhile whatever i find out about christmas won't really change anything, the world will keep celebrating it and i will join them to celebrate it as well..

which makes me curious, do you celebrate easter in your church?

 last year  

Yes Dad you are right about that.

That's true, whatever you find won't stop others from celebrating Christmas and that's one reason why Christmas is not a Christian feast, in fact pagans celebrate this feast more than those that say they are the followers of Christ. Well, I wasn't expecting you to stop celebrating Christmas, I'm only trying to tell you that Christmas is not a feast that a Christmas should partake in.

I'd like to know what Easter if you don't mind because I'm not sure if I really know why it is called Easter.

Hmm i guess you don't celebrate that too in your church right?

 last year  

No, We don't because that's not what we see the apostles practice or what Christ himself asked us to do.

The only feast we saw that Christ asked his apostles to celebrate was the lord's supper and he even showed them how to do it and what to use for it.

It we want to serve God, we must serve him in truth and in spirit, there is not room for what we think is right or what we feel is good. It is God we are serving right? So why not serve him the way he wants?
