DO ALL PARTIES PLEASE GOD?
*"Why Could Jesus' Birth Not Have Been On December 25"?*
Do you like to have parties? -- They can be lots of fun.
But, the Bible tells about two birthday parties. Was one of them to celebrate the birthday of the great teacher, Jesus Christ? "NO"! Both of these birthday parties were for men who did not serve Jehovah.
One was the birthday party for King Herod Antipas, and on his birthday party, he chopped off the head of John the Baptist. (Mark 6:17-29)
The other birthday party the Bible tells about wasn't any better. It was a king of Egypt, during this party also, the king had someone's head chopped off, then after that, he hung the man up for birds to eat! (Gen. 40:19-22)
"Do you think God approved of these two birthday parties mentioned in the Bible? Certainly NOT!
Everything in the Bible is there for a reason. The Bible tells about only two (2) birthday parties and at both of them, bad things were done as part of the celebration. So, what would you say that God is telling us about birthday parties? Does God want us to celebrate birthdays? - NO!
It is true that at such parties today people don't chop off people's head. But, the whole idea of celebrating birthdays started with people who did not worship the true God.
The CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA says about the birthday celebrations mentioned in the Bible: "Only sinners. . .make great rejoicings over the day on which they were born".
What about the great teacher - Jesus Christ? Did he celebrate his birthday? NO! The Bible does not say anything about a birthday party for Jesus. In fact, Jesus' early followers did not celebrate his birthday.
*"Do you know why people later chose to celebrate Jesus' birthday on DECEMBER 25"?*
As the World Book Encyclopedia says, "the people of Rome already observed it as the feast of Saturn, celebrating the birthday if the sun." π So, people chose to celebrate Jesus' birthday on a date when pagans already had a holiday!!!
Do you Know why Jesus could not have been born in December? - Because the Bible says that when Jesus was born, shepherds were still in the fields at night π. (Luke 2:8-12) And they would not have been out there in the cold, rainy month of December!

Many people Know that Christmas π²is not the birthday of Jesus. They even Know that on that day pagans had a celebration that was not pleasing to God. But, many celebrate Christmas π² anyway! They are more concerned with having a party that with finding out what God really thinks about it!
But, we want to please Jehovah!!!
So, when we have parties, we want to make sure they are good ones in Jehovah's eyes. We can have PARTIES anytime during the year! We don't have to wait for a special day! We can eat a special food and have fun playing games!
