FR, the excuses you mention are not on the same religious level as xmass, which directly involves Jesus Christ, whereas birthdays and other celebrations do not. All festivities should be examined by the scriptures no matter what they are. I don't care for worshipping America on the 4th of July or recognizing one's personal day of selfishness.

Very good. Did they do this every year? If so, anytime in December? Any specifics on how the praising is done? Any commands for humans to mimic this act? If so, please explain.

Peter: "It is certainly worth celebrating the peace that Christ has made between God the Father and His elect people."

Oh no, not good. Was peace made by the birth?

Your phony Jesus has everything to do with xmas, so what you are being told to say is somewhat correct.

Birthdays are days of selfishness and should be abstained from as well.

Greg Price sums up the xmas thing.

This guy here made a big mistake IMO. al qaeda is very good at the publicity thing, but linking al qaeda and Iraq in the minds of the American people is going to strengthen the resolve of this country.

People aren't worried about Iraq cuz they're tired. They're worried cuz they don't think it part of the war on terror. This dummy just confirmed it.

I bet they muzzle him quick and we don't hear from him again.

First, if I had a ministry I'd do the same as he has done.

Secondly, I do not pay income tax.

I don't consider myself a patriot nor do I fellowship or agree with the folks involved in the freedom/sovereign movement, but much wisdom is to be gleaned from those involved, so I offer the links below. There is some bickering amongst themselves, but that's expected.
