DO YOU DO CHRISTMAS AND WHY?
My thoughts:
Even Moses said, with a willing heart. Whatever we do and not do, it must come from a willing heart. But, I am here to say, I don't celebrate Christmas, or Ramadan, or Kwanzaa. There are lots of holidays all over the WORLD that I don't celebrate. Both Christmas and Hanukkah are in the Bible. Christmas's celebrated in Isaiah 44:13-19 and Jeremiah 10: 1~6 10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
14 He heweth him down cedars and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
And Hanukkah the feast of dedication is in John 10 22
So Hanukkah is found in the New Testament and Christmas celebrated in the Old Testament and what the word tells us about the both of them, THE CHOICE is still yours. What did Jesus The Christ celebrate and which one did Jesus NEVER do? Just a thought.
This is a site to have our thoughts and exchange, but it still comes down to YOUR CHOICE. Even the gospel is a FREE CHOICE. Just a thought.
"Seventy times seven" in Matthew 18:22 isn't a literal limit to forgiveness. The specific numbers are irrelevant. The point is that we shouldn't keep track of offenses. 10,000 talents in v24 was meant to convey the sense of an unpayable debt, a debtor without hope. The debt we owe God is unpayable, beyond human comprehension, yet He forgives those who plead His mercy. There is nothing anyone can owe you that remotely compares to what God has forgiven you. If we're unwilling to forgive our brother a pittance, why should God forgive us a fortune?
See Matthew 18:22-35.

Today’s Notes.
I have been working on the expanded chiasm for these chapters in Revelation, dealing with the second interval period, the Reformation and its effects. The structure (look for it Monday) is revealing some new information.
We saw that Rev 12 was a picture of war in heaven, and spiritual events, such as the coming of Messiah, and Messiah’s people fleeing to the New World - the wilderness - to escape the persecution of the dragon. In chapter 13, we see the picture of war on earth, in that the beast, which is Satan’s earthly empire, was given authority to make war for 42 months. The chapter 13 war took place during the height of Roman power in the Middle Ages, when the absolute power of the Roman Church coupled with the absolute power of the Holy Roman Emperor wreaked destruction on the true believers, in the form of excommunications, crusades, and inquisitions. Although not as many were killed as were killed during the ten Ancient Roman persecutions of the Great Tribulation, still, millions were killed.
You might say that chapters 12 and 13 together paint a picture of Babylon’s Long War against God, when she appears to be victorious.
Is the current vaccine push the mark of the beast? No, I don’t believe so. Now, the Luciferians read the Left Behind interpretation of Revelation just was we do, and seek to make those events come to pass. They are obsessed with 666 and the other prophetic symbolism. So any who are in power are trying to build a third temple building in this era, and get every human encoded with nanotechnology or what have you, and censor people out of the economy. I don’t believe they will be successful, and their actions to push these events are only succeeding in fulfilling the final bowl of wrath judgment that has been poured out on them to bring about their final destruction. (More on that coming up.) But the futurists have misled them just as they have misled the church.
For the biblical understanding of marks on the hand or forehead, please see
Revelation 13, Marked on the hand and forehead.
