Im sorry but you said nothing i admire Doug Batcher (I think that’s his name) any way I admire his knowledge but after hearing his beliefs about Christmas I have doubts because to me we are not supposed to do or celebrate anything that pegan celebrations God was very clear to his children that they should not do as others the Israel to stay away to not take anything he was so against his children doing the same as others that he prohibited his children to marry from other tribes or countries
Why do Christians likewise celebrate Easter, a pagan holiday.
Why should we celebrate our birthday and not the birth of Jesus? Is our birthday more important than our Lord's? Thank God there are people who celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus instead of the coming of Santa Claus.
God bless you. I’m pretty sure you’re not going to see this comment let alone lone answering using the Bible. My comment is that I am very, very disappointed at your answer on Christmas for one Jesus was very specific on what things we should celebrate as of the the parting of the bread he never never said about celebrating his birthday if that would of been important it would of been registered in the bible further more I’m extremely disappointed to see that the church that I believe to have the truth would take a pagan day and celebrate it as if it was a good thing to do you quoted the Bible and said that in the bible says that something about celebrating one day over another ,blah, blah, blah if that was the case why do we 7th day Adventist keep the Sabbath, and not Sunday I am as my God is the creator of all I’m sure that God does not pick and choose either you keep the Sabbath on the 7th day or you’re not keeping his commandments so celebrating Christmas is celebrating an worshiping the sun no difference you cannot pick and choose God does not change in his commandments in Exodus 20 again his commandments he says not to make, have any images of anything in heaven, on earth or sea yet on Christmas time all churches have the images of May,Joseph, baby Jesus the 3 wise man and even some animals I used to be a witch before God took me from the enemies grasp and I had those same (we called them saints) in my altar I also see images together with the words of the songs sang at the church I I get very uncomfortable one because there should not be any images in any 7th day Adventist church nor in any 7th day Adventist home, one time I had an argument with a person from church about the matter she said she has a Jesus picture in her home and I told her that God does not like that because he said no images not from heaven not from earth not from the sea under she said that she had it because it represented Jesus and I told her no it doesn’t no one knows what he looks like that picture is not even God who knows who’ that is she got mad at me and stopped talking to me for a long time and she was and raised Adventist please be honest and don’t say that the church celebrates Christmas because it’s a day when the world acknowledges Jesus Christ we should take that opportunity to teach people about all 10 commandments not only of the 4th commandment but all 9 we should be different we should tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Thank you may the Lord be with you
Remember what Constantine did in321 A.D.
