Spurstalk is your only outlet to the outside world these days, amirite
We enjoy the collection of pagan traditions appropriated by Christians and repackaged as a Christian holiday tbh. I also get free without having to waste any time in a gy church so it's doubly good. And I get 3 days off from work this month for it so not really imo
Celebrating the birth of Christ is a pagan tradition?
Except Christ wasn't born in December. And is 99% not what the modern holiday of Christmas is about except to old or so gots like yourself
Don't tell modern day christians that. I almost got punched trying to explain to some lady that Jesus being born on Christmas is nowhere in the Bible.
just like they stole half the in the bible from older cultures and mythology. But hey, wouldn't expect the old got to know about anything useful besides how fast Cheeseburger Bubba Jones can run a forty yard dash while playing a saxophoneThere is controversy concerning the date of December 25 as the birthday of Jesus. Many customs from these holidays, particularly from the pagan Scandinavian and Germanic celebration of Yule in northern Europe, are transparently present in later Christmas customs, suggesting that the date was appropriated directly from pagan customs and given a Christian veneer rather than being the true birthday of Jesus.
The pagan Scandinavian and Germanic people of northern Europe celebrated a twelve-day "midwinter" (winter solstice) holiday called Yule (also called Jul, Julblot, jólablót, midvinterblot, julofferfest) beginning on December 25. Many modern Christmas traditions, such as the Christmas tree, the Christmas wreath, the Yule log, and others, are direct descendants of Yule customs. Scandinavians still call Yule "Jul". In English, the word "Yule" is often used in combination with the season "yuletide" [17] a usage first recorded in 900. It is believed that the celebration of this day was a worship of these peculiar days, interpreted as the reawakening of nature. The Yule (Jul) particular God was Jólner, which is one of Odin's many names.
The concept of Yule (Jul) occurs in a tribute poem to Harold Hĺr er from about AD 900, where someone said "drinking Jul". Julblot is the most solemn sacrifice feast. At the julblotet, sacrifices were given to the gods to earn blessing on the forthcoming germinating crops. Julblotet was eventually integrated into the Christian Christmas. As a remainder from this Viking era, the Midsummer is still important in Scandinavia, and hence vividly celebrated.
Sol Invictus ("The Unconquered Sun") was originally a Syrian god who was later adopted as the chief god of the Roman Empire under Emperor Aurelian. His holiday is traditionally celebrated on December 25, as are several gods associated with the winter solstice in many pagan traditions

Christianity was corrupted by Pagan rituals during the reign of Constantine, where he combined Christian doctrine with that of Paganism. Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity or the birth of Jesus Christ. It was a Dutch tradition that was passed over sometime in the 1600's. It revolves around a mythical being known as Sinder Klass now know as Santa Claus. In fact, scholars believe Jesus to have been born sometime in Spring, possibly early Summer. We, as Christians have allowed this nonsense to infiltrate the Church and it is our responsibility to educate ourselves now more than ever.
FACT: We are not told or commanded by the Word of God, or the Lord Jesus himself to celebrate his birth.
FACT: Jesus' birth was not celebrated by the disciples of the early church. The first celebrations of the birth of Jesus did not occur until the 4th century.
FACT: Jesus' birth was established by the Roman emperor Constantine when he declared Christianity the state religion. He appeased the heathens, and declared December 25th to be the birthdate of the Son of God in order to coincide with the birth of the sun god worshiped by the Pagans.
FACT: The Word of God warns us about observing "special days" or times of the year. "Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I bestowed upon you labour in vain." (Galatians 4:10-11) "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)
God is limited by Blakes assessment of him.
He could not have done that.
In before ClipperNation posts about ChumpDu....
, too late.
It was likely in the spring, but it isn't known, so dec. 25th is as good a day as any.
That sounds like that should make this the worst time of the year for Christians.
Bible God limited himself. I didn't do anything about that.
