What no one can deny is that there is no scripture which shows that Christmas was celebrated by anyone or that it was a custom like it is today, today
I didn’t say there was scripture showing Christmas, celebrated as it is today, there doesn’t have to be. Its not a matter of faith or morals its a custom, tradition with a small t. I have answered this before with my own list of WT doctrines not found anywhere in the bible. Not only are they not found in the bible they contradict the bible. I notice you posted no scriptures teaching any of them. The reason being they can’t be found anywhere in the bible. Otherwise you would have posted them.
There is no scripture condemning celebrations. In fact Paul says let no man judge another in such thing.
[Col2:16 **Let no man therefore
judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the
new moon, or of the
sabbath days:]
The WT’s aversion, to holidays, is pure superstition. Your remark is like the skillet calling the pot black. Did you know JW’s celebrated Christmas through 1926? I guess someone had new light. New light isn’t supposed to contradict old light. Yet it did. Do celebrate Christmas don’t celebrate Christmas that’s a contradiction and flip flop in teaching not a development of a teaching.
[Christmas is so important, regardless of the date. WT 12/15/1926, p. 371] Source Index of Watch Tower Errors, Editor David A. Reed, Complied by Steve Huntoon & John Cornell.
The WT had no problem with Christmas till after 1926. Isn’t it a little hypocritical to judge others guilty, when the WT is guilty of doing the same many times over?
For instance the bible never mentions anywhere Christ invisibly returning in 1914. In fact the bible teaches every eye will see him when he returns. Yet the WT has constantly tried to justify that doctrine with many reasonings. Claiming the generation of 1914 would not pass away before armageddon. Using the phrase, Millions now living will never die.
[Rv1:7 Behold, **he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and
they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ]
Rv1:8 also tells us, he, which is to come is the Almighty. Who was pierced? Who is to come? Who is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending? Who is the Almighty? Answer, Jesus our Lord and God as Thomas rightly names him.
[Jn20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And **Thomas answered and
said unto him, My Lord and my God.]
Also the bible never mentions anywhere the Man Jesus Christ went out of existence when he died on the cross and was raised a spirit being Michael. In fact its just the opposite, scripture clearly teaches, the man Jesus Christ was bodily raised and is in heaven.
[Jn2:19 **Jesus answered and
said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But
he spake of the temple of his body. 22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. ]
[Lk24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 **Behold my hands and my feet, that
it is I myself: handle me, and see; for
a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken,
he shewed them his hands and his feet.]
