Celebrations of Jesus' birthday are nowhere in the Bible. The disciples did not celebrate it. The early "church fathers" did not celebrate it.
- Christmas is not a scriptural subject, it is never mentioned in the bible, so although many scriptures are used, this study cannot be based solely on the word of God. Source link
- Nowhere in the pages of scripture do we find a command to keep the celebration of Christmas. Source link
- The Apostles in the Lord who later would walk with Jesus and be taught by Him never created a special day set aside to celebrate his birth after His accession into Heaven. There was also no such record in the Scriptures of a special day to celebrate the Lord's birth when He was living on Earth. It's like calling Jesus a "baby" when He is not. Source link
- ...the scriptures do not tell us when His birthday was. We know the date of His death (on Passover) and scripture tells us the time of many other important events in biblical history such as the founding of the temple (first day of the year), the timing of the Exodus from Egypt (also on Passover), the date that the flood began and many other events. But the date of the Messiah's birth? Scripture is silent. To me this speaks volumes. Even though Yahushua could look into the future and know that there would be billions of people who wanted to celebrate His birthday, He never told us when it was. If He wanted us to celebrate His birthday, He surely would have told us when it was. Source link
- This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Christ's birth and its significance, but no where in God's word are we instructed to celebrate, commemorate, or observe Christmas. We will find in the Bible that Christmas was not observed by the early Church or by the apostles. It is not a bible doctrine. Biblically, “Christmas” does not exist. If Jesus wanted us to celebrate His birthday, He would have instructed us to. Had the Lord deemed this knowledge essential to our salvation, he would have spoken through his prophets and apostles. But the silence of the Scriptures upon this subject point evidences to us that it is hidden from us for the wisest purposes. Christians are commanded to remember the Lord Jesus' death, by uniting together and partaking in what we call the "Lord's Supper". This was instituted scripturally by both the Lord Himself in Luke 22:17-20 and by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. Source link
- Does not the very term itself denote it's source - "Christ-mass." Thus it is of Roman origin, brought over from paganism. But, says someone, Christmas is the time when we commemorate the Savior's birth. It is? And WHO authorized such commemoration? Certainly God did not. The Redeemer bade His disciples "remember" Him in His death, but there is not a word in scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, which tells us to celebrate His birth. Moreover, who knows when, in what month, He was born? The Bible is silent thereon. Source link
- As we face this issue, it must be understood that we have inherited 1600 years of deceit. The idea that Jesus was born on December 25 is made up (no man on earth knows when He was born ). AlI the practices that surround it (giving gifts, Christmas trees, etc.) are all rooted in pagan practices of the past and have absolutely no Biblical foundation whatsoever.
Therefore, the celebration of Christ's birth (Christmas) and the way it is celebrated are not found anywhere in the Bible, and everything about it (the date and manner of celebration) is not from God. What is not from God, and is of a spiritual nature, is from the domain of the Devil (Ephesians 6:12; Revelation 12:9; John 8:44). Source link
- The Bible is entirely silent about X-mas and the celebrating of it. The holy Scriptures, which is God’s Will, do not command, show example, or infer any such commemoration. X-mas is not a part of God’s Will. Source link
- There is not one word in the New Testament, or anywhere in the Bible, telling us to observe Christmas. The Christians of the first century, under the inspired teachings of Peter and Paul and the other apostles, never observed it. There is NO BIBLE AUTHORITY for its observance, strange as it may seem...It is not so much as MENTIONED anywhere in the New Testament. It was never observed by Paul, the apostles, the early true Christian Church! Source link
