Nowadays, people seem to forget the real essence and meaning of Christmas. We tend to associate Christmas with bonuses, shopping, mall sales, parties, eating, drinking, gift giving, etc. Media in particular has changed Christmas...

rokudaime Hello Iuliuxd! hehehe nice smiley! Not at all my friend (by the whole ROman or Orthodox, still both are Catholics). The Roman Catholic still is not wrong, in fact it was the one who corrected the Julian Calendar as there were apparent miscalculations on the...

rokudaime "Your people will be my people, your home will be my home, Your God will be my God." These are the very lines that Ruth said to her mother-in-law Naomi! Oh I love the story of Ruth as it is indeed an inspiring one! Your picked names are the best Sarah!...

rokudaime Thank you for your reply. You know my dear, I can accept something that is factual and truth but singling me out as arrogant just because I am infusing religion to the celebration of Christmas is definitely not my style. It is you who is arrogant as you cannot...

rokudaime Hello matersfish! I respect your candidness and your honesty. But I hope you don't get me wrong. I am not trying to impose to anybody how to celebrate Christmas, I was merely expressing my observation and my wish that people's way of celebration would...

rokudaime Hello taura2p!^_^ So you were also able to observe that aye? Anyway, this is perhaps the sad reality that we have to face. However, we who know the true meaning of it should keep it that way. We have to remember as well that because everyone is doing it, it...

rokudaime I really hate to debate this to someone who is seemingly agnostic, skeptic or worse atheist. Anyway, just as I said the birth of Christ celebrated to the 25th of December is NOT adopted from the birthday of any pagan gods. Besides Mithra is not a popular...

rokudaime Almost true ladybugr2d2 but not really. The early Roman Christians used the Julian Calendar and they were celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25 of the JULIAN Calendar. But when Pope Gregory ordered that the Julian Calendar be corrected due some...

rokudaime Yes indeed Sarah, I will participate in the Midnight mass on the 24th and on Christmas day itself. Unfortunately, family gathering would seem to be impossible for me at the moment because I live overseas now. However, I still have some relatives and friends...

rokudaime Hello slittle. I think I will have to disagree with you that Christmas was taken from a pagan Holiday. First, pagans do not know who Jesus is that is why they are called pagans. Therefore they do not have any Christmas celebrations. Second, the nativity of...

rokudaime Hello Sarah! Thank you for your participation in this discussion. I can understand your point and it is okay since you really do not have Christmas in Judaism. As always, I am appreciative with the way you look and think about Christians like me. My respect...

rokudaime I appreciate your participation in this discussion maidangela. However I have 3 points to answer from your response. First, the anticipation of the coming of spring which is celebrated in the winter solstice is definitely NOT CHRISTMAS because it is not...
