Luke 2:6-7
6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (NIV)
The greek word MANGER fatnee is used interchangeably with STALL.
Luke 13:15
15 The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the STALL and lead it out to give it water? (NIV)
Where do you find animal stalls gerard?
Now gerard were they celebrating the birth of Christ or not? Can you show me where in the Scriptures we are forbidden to celebrate Christmas?
Rom 14:5-6
5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. (NIV)
As I implied....Celebrating Resurrection Sunday OR Christmas is not what makes you a Christian OR a pagan. Accepting Christ as He is in the Scriptures, HIS WAY does.
