John UK, please also recall your courageous and valiant ancestors who fought for your freedom in battle. They were not committing murder. Or were they?
What do you prioritize? Christmas, Easter, or the Lord’s Supper. Only one is commanded in Scripture—the Lord’s Supper. Many ‘Christians’ put so much more emphasis, time, energy, preparation, thought, excitement, and anticipation into christianized pagan holidays and rituals while ignoring Christ’s clear command to remember Him in His Supper. How many times have you missed the Lord’s Supper and thought nothing of it? How many times have you missed Christmas or Easter and thought nothing of it? See the difference. We highly esteem our man-made holidays but disregard the commandments of Christ! It’s not just a little nibble of bread and a little insignificant sip of juice. It’s a memorial to remember Christ and His love. Moreover, Christ commands that we remember Him in this way. We are so humanistic that we put more emphasis on our own ways of celebrating Christ than use the ways that He has laid out for us in the Scriptures.
What is it about the Jews that people don’t like? Why do people hate their guts? They are God’s special people—His chosen people. They are the natural offspring of Abraham that God promised. They are not a burden to society or a hindrance to commerce. They mind their own business and are very industrious.
John UK, Why do you lock your doors at night? Is it that God isn’t strong enough to protect you? No, God has sovereignly chosen to use means to accomplish His purposes. We are still responsible to work, even though He provides. We are still responsible to watch, even though He protects. We are still responsible to make decisions in life, even though He has it under control. His sovereignty does not negate our responsibility and vice versa. Does this amaze you? It’s biblical.
BTW, Gay M Allen, if you are going by your own memory or relying on your own mental ability in your last statement, I have good reason to question your point. I have also spent a lot of time with people who chain smoked African marijuana so I know what it does to the brain. I have not smoked it myself though.
Genesis 1:31 says that God created us and saw that we were very good. He made us male and female. He made the binary and declared that it was good. God defines goodness; so wouldn’t you say that He knows what He’s talking about when He created us good? What has changed so very recently that there has to be more than two genders? Some people claim that we now have around 125 genders! All I know is that God made us male and female in the beginning and it was good. And babies born today still outwardly appear to be either male or female. And the mothers of those babies are always female. Males do not have milk for the babies. Males do not have wombs to carry the babies. These are just the basics. Please notice there’s a big difference between male and female. And please also notice that there is no other gender. None. Not on God’s created earth.
The perverse roaches are now coming out of the closet to show their true “colors”. Even plumbers know that there are only two kinds of pipe fittings—male or female. It’s a matter of basic creation physics. Try to fit two male fittings together. The pipe will leak at best and probably not even connect. Same goes for two female fittings. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s always going to be a binary no matter how hard you rebel against it! Don’t try to change what God has ordained. You will not succeed! This whole self-mutilation racket leads straight into depression, disillusionment, and regret.
They told them what they thought about them, because they wanted to make them happy. They are now calling them “they” so as not to offend them. The “they” people are now pleased with the other “they” people because they now condone their perverse behavior by calling them they. They may go back to their other pronouns when they are confused by too many they’s. They may also come up with other they-like pronouns that make them feel less guilty and uncomfortable. Have they ever heard of pronouns like “it”, “zit”, “Zur” or “zer”—or even “zero”? Talk about zero gender. What will they dump next? Chromosomes? DNA? They don’t realize that they can’t dump certain things no matter how hard they try.
Mike, I also do not see biblical warrant for sending flu bugs to FL. Maybe we were naughty this year, but still... Maybe Santa picked it up on his trek down here.🤨
In my first comment I said, “Yes, Jesus’ birthday is extremely vital and important. No one should say that His birthday is not important. It is important! It’s huge!” And I mean it. I am not being sarcastic. Moreover, I do not believe that it was on Christmas Day or is rightfully related to Christmas in any way.
Unprofitable Servant, I have not seen SA posts about all those things, but many of them define Christmas as far as many Christians celebrate it. I personally know many true believers who are caught up in many of those trappings, thinking that they are honoring Christ concerning His birth. I am not saying that I know it all or am better than anyone. No, I am asking that God’s people distinguish and discern between the true and the false, whether it’s feelings, hear-say, or tradition. I grew up in Africa where Xmas is mainly about getting drunk and breaking into other people’s houses. So I may have a slanted view of it. Maybe.
I do not condemn anyone for celebrating Christmas Day, but I exhort you to do your research and don’t just swallow tradition hook, line, and sinker. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
