Celebrating Jesus birthday

this is interesting information
Celebrating Jesus’ birthday: “The early Christians did not celebrate [Jesus’] birth because they considered the celebration of anyone’s birth to be a pagan custom.”—The World Book Encyclopedia.

Jesus would have been born in the fall... Probably september.

That was a very interesting list, thank you.

 

Christ-Mass = The Christian time of remembrance of a beacon of their credo of choice - (albeit set at a time Pagan Yule and Roman Saturnalia) - but to each their own - and Jesus was indeed a Cool dude:-
Long hair, a healer, preached Peace, threw out the money leaders, enthralled audiences and (in Mary Magdalene) experienced Love in many ways = sounds like a Hippie to me

 

Unsure me thinks.

 

i should mention that list was just a random google list; i cannot verify its accuracy.

 

Awesome! Thanks!

 

All interesting information, still not as interesting as my fact from the world book encyclopedia

 

I don’t celebrate Christmas or any other holiday for that matter. Origins matter

 

Not even Easter?

 

Oh, I forgot.

 

No way!

Celebrating Jesus resurrection, not his death which he commanded

 

I wonder if Jesus was a joker. Like, maybe celebrating his death is some dark humor. Maybe not everything he said was literal, but he was just kind of "in character" you know? I don't know. It seems like it would be hard for his mother, for instance, to celebrate his death.

 

Jesus dont care.. The dude makes water turn to wine, youll forget half the shit he says.. Drink and Be merry and not give a shit what others do.. thats not harming you or anyone else for the matter..

 

It's too bad we had to crucify him.

 

He was asking for it.
Like, almost literally.
