More On, "What is the Origin of Christmas?"
Q: You're quoting out of context; Paul wasn't discussing between pagan holidays and God's appointed Holy Days.
What is the substance of Christmas? A lie, which says that Messiah was born in the cold month of Dec (or Jan). And this custom is held as sacred by many christians. A lie is still a lie, whatever its package/wrapping.
A : Holy Days were for the Jews and not for the Christians. We are beyond the Jewish ritual keeping, we live by the Spirit of God. These rituals were done in a physical temple during the Old Testament time, now we have become the temple of God in which God does all things spiritually for His glory (2 Cor 6:16; Php 2:13). We do not sacrifice bulls and goats on the altar today just because God has said in the Old Testament (Lev 1-9). All these were shadows and was literally fulfilled in Christ Jesus (Heb 8:4-5). We now only do a spiritual sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise through Jesus Christ and thus glorify God for His glorious name (Heb 13:15). What ever physical in the Old Testament time has now become spiritual in Christ Jesus. You check the Bible and see whether I quote within context or out of context.
