At this point in time, this is irrelevant. While Christ was born in early September, Christmas Day is what it is, so enjoy it while you can. Unless you prefer to be another Scrooge.
In scripture we are told to celebrate God's plan of Salvation, and what Christ does for us is the heart of that salvation. The feasts God planned for us tells the complete story of that salvation.
God told us the story of salvation as the Hebrews that were saved from slavery in Egypt lived out a symbolic form of it, and we are told to observe Passover as a celebration of that. The Lord feels that the celebration of Christ's birth in heaven is more important than His birth on earth in the form of a human.
When Paul and James met to decide what Jewish customs were to be followed, they decided it should be only those customs that allowed gentiles to enter Synagogue so they could learn about the one true God. The church has decided that the celebrations that God gave us should be included in what is not to be followed. Many Christians who were part of the church Christ established called "The Way" considered these feasts celebrations that God endorsed, but since that time they have been considered as not from the Lord but only Jewish custom.
As a result, the holidays we observe are, every one, secular holidays though some have had something of the Lord added to them, such as the solstice celebration made into a celebration of the birth of Christ and added to Easter was the celebration of the salvation Christ offers. Much of the secular celebrations are kept like Christmas trees, rabbits, eggs, etc.

That dosent sound like Mr. Nehimiah6 the truth to me, basically if it feels good do itAt this point in time, this is irrelevant. While Christ was born in early September, Christmas Day is what it is, so enjoy it while you can. Unless you prefer to be another Scrooge.
I think you misunderstood my post, I don’t agree with any of this mess where Christians try to say some Christian holiday or practices have ties to paganism.

I think it is ironic that any Christian would side with the world to suppress Christmas. Because they seek to suppress Christmas each year, and also lay claim to it as pagan each year. All in attempt to get us to stop celebrating. And then some Christians will side with the pagan world falling for their evil plan. For us to stop would be submitting to pagans who have demanded we stop for generations. Why should we give in to them and let them take anything else from us. I say in light of the God hating attacks and arrests of pastors in Canada and in America and the dehumanizing of restriction of gathering and forced to cover your face. We should plan the biggest Christmas's get together every where in the World. Mass numbers in every town in the earth.
I love Jesus Christ who is my Lord and Savior, sealed by God the Holy Spirit, looking forward to the Eternal Kingdom in the New Heaven and Earth
You move to throw God fearing believers into the world, siding with pagans?
The truth of the matter is, Jesus Christ wasnt born on Dec 25th, nor is it biblically instructed to he observed
Will you participate in the future cool thing to do, like take the mark and worship the image?
It's about time for believers to stand up for truth, if you have a desire to "Remember" Jesus Christ, partake in the Lords supper as instructed, it's that simple
Instruction to observe the pagan days of Christmas or Easter is found no place in the scripture.
Jesus Christ gave a clear directive to the Church
(This Do In Remembrance Of Me)
1 Corinthians 11:23-26KJV
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

I don't either, but the truth of Gods words find the observance of Christmas or Easter have no biblical instruction

We partake of the Lord in his supper every Sunday. For us it is eating and drinking his death burial and resurrection, it is a Holy and solemn occasion, and a means of grace every Sunday. We also celebrate his birth and his resurrection as Holy convocations. Along with many other celebrations of the Lord.
Your claim is false, I desire "Truth"
Yes Christmas is a fabrication created by man, and primarily the Roman Catholic Church
Christmas, Easter, Sunday Observance, And Infant Baptism, All Belong To Rome, Its Time To Stand Up For This Factual Truth And Be Counted
Communion, as it is commonly called, is a remembrance of Jesus' DEATH.
Easter, as it is commonly called, is a celebration of Jesus' RESURRECTION.

By sharing the lies perpetuated by pagans year after year? That's a weird way to desire truth.
Every year they wail on about how offensive the word Christmas is along everything Jesus about the holiday, while claiming it to be a pagan holiday.
You are doing the same thing.

Once again, there is no biblical instruction for the Church to observe the "Resurrection" of Jesus Christ
