I wasn't going to touch the Christmas convo this year because I didn't want to deal with the "you're going to hell" comments for being in favor of the holiday, but ALSO because I've honestly been wrestling with this myself the past couple of months!! But I was praying on it this past weekend and God told me that there are MANY wrestling with this subject, and that it's okay to come at this from a place of vulnerability rather than authority... So, there's a lot to talk about! And I really want to address this from every angle, to lay out fact v fiction, explore the Scriptures, and allow us to test the spirits together.
Some of the things I'll get into...
-the debated pagan origins
-defining what exactly "celebration" is
-Jeremiah 10...............in context lol
-glorifying Jesus over tradition
-the HARD no's (Santa, magic, elves etc.)
-God's biblical holidays
-the "Jesus doesn't say to celebrate His birth" argument
-idolatry
-pros/cons of celebrating Christmas
