I have been a christian all my life and the hole time I have gone by what the preacher has taught and not by actually reading the whole bible myself. My question is we celebrate a holiday that was already being used by a group of people who do no believe in Jesus and started using it as his birthday. Now that I have studied the bible myself every where in the bible God says I am a jealous God do not worship any other gods put me! Do not do there practices, do not bow down to them in any form. So Why would he want us to take a custom that was being used to worship the saturn god with and start worship him with. Not only That Jesus was not even born around the time we celebrate it. Can any one tell me why we already teach are childeren lies about Jesus.

First of all we as christians have to not take everything out of context.. its really about recognizing the birth an not the when or how its done really!God does not look at things the way we do honestly! An i dont believe God considers that has putting another God before him by perhaps celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on the wrong day! I do not believe that by doing this practice will keep you out of heaven and or keeping God from blessing you and answering your prayers. For we know that God is merciful and gracious... So thats why when we pray we ask for his forgiveness for things we have knowingly done and not knowingly...

Because people treat the bible as if it were real history.

To be accurate we have many many historical manuscripts and fragments that when taken together will attest that the bible we have today is authentic and given credence by many many creditable historians. It is in fact trustworthy in that real people from the first century were eyewitnesses to the son of god in the flesh!

1 Timothy 3:16

King James Bible
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
