  • in reply to: No Christmas for Jehovah’s Witnesses? #36794
    Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas because it isn't in the Bible. The 'wisemen' saw Jesus not as a baby but as a child in a house (Matthew 2:11). They didn't give him gifts because it was for his birth. Secondly, Christmas began as a celebration for the worship of the sun god saturnalia, in pagan Rome, on Dec. 25 , when they knew the days were getting longer (more sun). So they paid their gratitude to this false god.

    in reply to: Your fear of death #27587
    Hi Shelly Alot of people fear death, because they hear storied of a 'hell', and living forever in a fiery torment, because they are sinners. We all sin. Not one of us are perfect. So does that mean we all go to hell ? To find the answer, we should go to the bible. What was God's command to Adam and Eve in the first book of the bible? He said' Be fruitful , become many , fullfill the earth'. Did he mention death ? No. So death was not in his original plans.But he did say , in the day they eat from the tree, of the knowledge of good and bad', they would die.'For dust you are, and to dust you will return'. They did eat from that tree, and they did die. Imperfect Adam and Eve had off-spring, who were born imperfect.Because they themselves had become imperfect.In Ecclesiastes 9:5 and 10. It tells us specifically , when we die, we are conscious of nothing, see nothing , do nothing in sheol( Hebrew for common grave of mankind) So we arent in heaven having a great time. And we arent in a so called place called 'hell' suffering. The resurrection we hear soo much about , will happen on the earth.When God has direct rulership over the earth.Which is soon to happen Peter

    The priest's vow of abstinence is a Church teaching. The command from the Bible is to abstain from fornication -sex outside of marriage, including adultery. Also, masturbation is called 'unclean conduct.' The Bible counsels us to 'deaden our body members.' That includes our sexual urges.
