There is a teaching being pushed by Dr. Jameas Tabor that I believe is either Gnostic or even Heresy. Please listen to his teaching on the subject of Jesus' resurrection. https://youtu.be/Xz7832nrLU8

"Because something isn't found in the Bible doesn't mean it isn't Christian." ?? But it certainly does mean that it is without scriptural authority. It has become a holiday for the greedy !

The article reveals its own Anglican/Catholic-bias and lack of investigation through one sentence: "As best we can tell, the tradition of celebrating Christ’s Nativity on December 25 was established sometime in the third century, likely before Christianity became the religion of the Roman Empire." More than 2 decades from 313 -336 AD should be more than enough time for a "church’s customary observance well before then". But of course certains denominations try to wash their hands by pushing that date well before 313 AD, which was the chief goal of this article.

Celebrating common community celebrations, festivals and feasts within your community leave no indelible mark upon your own faith or spirit. These contextual verses from 1st Corinthians govern the behavioral terrain of (pagan, secular or otherwise) festivals, feasts and celebrations: a) "But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake; I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?"; b) To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝐼 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑎𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑤), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐺𝑜𝑑’𝑠 𝑙𝑎𝑤 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑚 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡’𝑠 𝑙𝑎𝑤), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some."
