Should a Christian celebrate christmas or easter?

The pagan holidays were replaced by Christian feasts and festivals about 1700 years ago. Today almost nobody sees Christmas day and Easter Sunday as pagan festivals. While Constantine should not have substituted pagan holidays to "Christianize" them the fact remains that both Christmas and Easter can be used very effectively to reach the unsaved with the Gospel. And that is really what matters. Paul quoted a pagan unbeliever in Scripture to prove a point. Did that make it wrong? At the same time you have the liberty to disregard all such holidays if they bother you. God has given you that liberty.

Given your reply, I don't believe you "heard" what I said.

If a Christian wants to celebrate Jesus' birth, death or resurrection, they should celebrate them truthfully and accurately. Not on blatantly false dates that were only chosen to coincide with worshipping other gods. A Christian should care about worshipping God in spirit and in truth instead of according to the traditions of men.

I know about the days of the week, but have not heard that wedding rings are pagan...very interested. I think we all are on a personal journey.."working out our salvation with fear and trembling'..meaning..when you are growing and walking the the Lord, as you become more mature in your Faith...God calls us to give up those areas of compromise....any thoughts?
For example, secular movies and music I used to listen too....If I sense it offends God, then I won't listen to it.

I think that's a non answer. I think for a person to be so passionate about such a concept they should be consistent.
I suppose I'd be less staunch if it were simply a matter of their personal belief and conviction and left at that, but no. It's always a belief they push on others and any who disagree are basically labeled as engaging in paganism and not caring that they do so. Which of course, leads to judgements about the quality of their walk and faith.
In 10 years I've yet to see anything different.

The movie concept further promotes this idea. Watching a standard Hollywood movie supports an entire industry that revels in and promotes immorality and anti-God sentiment, not to mention, currently, wokeism. That non-offensive movie is still going to help in funding those movies you do find offensive. Why's that more acceptable than people that focus on God and family on Dec 25th?

I think you said it doesn't matter for a Christian to celebrate a pagan holiday and think God doesn't mind. I think He does.

Do you, as a Christian, celebrate christmas or easter and what do you think of it?

Christmas
Fact #1
The Bible never mentions the word "christmas", neither does it ask us to celebrate something on December 25th.

Fact #2
"But I only celebrate it to honor Him..." The only way to remember Jesus is the way He asked us, of course:

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.

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.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
- 1 Cor 11:24-26

Fact #3
December 25th used to be the day on which the sun god was worshiped in the Roman empire. It was not the date of birth of Christ.


Easter
Fact #1
The Bible never mentions the word "easter", neither does it ask us to celebrate something on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring.

Fact #2
The word "easter" in Acts 12:4 is transliterated from the Greek word for Pasha. The word "easter" is derived from "eostre/eastre" of the Babylonian pagans.

Fact #3
If we should be celebrating a specific feast, God would have definitely put it in His Word to make sure. After all, all the feasts the Jews celebrate each year are found in the Bible. They are: 1. Passover, 2. Unleavened bread, 3. Firstfruits, 4. Pentecost, 5. Feast of trumpets, 6. Day of atonement, 7. Feast of tabernacles.

Yet, we can't find a verse that states:
"Behold! The Lord thy God hath made thee an appointed time to remember the lamb which was slain for mankind; it shall be at the twelfth month and on the twenty fifth day of the month that ye shall have a feast and on it ye shall eat, and ye shall drink, and ye shall take a tree for thy house and shall put it there as an ornament. This hath the Lord of hosts spoken, and ye shall do it as I am the Lord thy God."


Both christmas as well as easter have no origin in the Bible, neither did the first apostles celebrate these feasts.
Do you celebrate them and what are your thoughts on it?

No hate comments please! Show me where I have stated something that is a lie. Show me where it says in the Bible we should celebrate christmas or easter the way many Christians do.

Christmas is not a Pagan holiday, LOL. It is a Church Tradition and part of the Advent season. FYI Christ -Mass is a date created to combat Pagenism and bring attention to the Birth of our Lord as the Word of God says. Every year, we get atheists, Legalitic types, and Hypocrites.
Who will come on CC and Lambast Christmas? But they have gifts under the tree. We know it, and God knows it.

I respectfully disagree. Easter is pagan. Christmas is pagan. I don't care about that' almost nobody see's Christmas day and Easter Sunday as pagan'....broad is the road that leads to destruction and narrow is the way to everlasting life.

We are to live our lives based on the Bible, not 'what most people believe or do or tradition'.

I hear what you are saying, I don't put up a tree or 'have gifts' under the tree....Believe me, I used to be totally into it...past couple of years..not at all. It's a personal decision, I'm just sharing my personal journey.

Response to above: perhaps, with all respect, do some research on Dec. 25th. Celebrating Christ's birth on Dec 25 IS Pagan.
You said it yourself...part of church tradition and part of Advent season...not biblically based nor is it a feast we are to celebrate in the Bible.

You have to live your life as God leads you....no judgement from me.
