Do Christians celebrate a pagan holiday?...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Merry Christmas . . . I've heard the argument that Christians are wrong to celebrate Christmas... and I can understand that view point given it's DARK pagan history (i.e. lawlessness, rape, human sacrifice) (Here is one of hundreds of links you can find on the origins of Christmas and Saturnalia. https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/saturnalia

BUT Christians are observing a "religious holy day" that is "Required" for holiness or spirituality... in fact christianity "forbids is the celebration of religious seasons or holy days when they have been prescribed as religious duty and necessary for holiness or spirituality."

BUT--Christians can commemorate any day without judgement as long at it is done for the right reason (AKA it can't be for religious merit) 

Here is another link https://bible.org/article/should-christians-celebrate-christmas (again one of hundreds google will provide you with.

With that said... I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
