    It’s not that we view birthdays as ‘evil’ because the only two times they are mentioned in the Bible someone died during the celebration. We’re not superstitious. It is that we do our best to live life like the early Christians (and to a large part pre-Christian Israelites) did. We believe that the REASON only two birthday celebrations are mentioned in the Bible is because neither pre-Christian Israelites nor early Christians celebrated birthdays. There are plenty of references to other festivities that these two groups DID participate in. The complete exclusion of birthday celebrations for these two groupd leads us to the conclusion that they didn’t celebrate birthdays, even though those around them did, so neither should we.
