... Thus, there are at least four powerful reasons we should not celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Christ. There is no scriptural authority for its observance. If we act without divine authority, we cut ourselves off from God (2 John 9). We are forbidden to keep special holy days. Religious festivals and holy days belonged to the law Of Moses by which we are not to judge (Colossians 2:14-17) . The observance of such religious holy days is evidence of apostasy (Galatians 4:9-11) . The only day special to Christians is the first day of the week.

... I said to him: "King Sehetepibre (Amenemhat I. ruled 29 years: 1937-1908 BC, Low chronology of K. A. Kitchen, O. Keel)departed to the horizon, and one did not know the circumstances." But I spoke in half-truths: "When I returned from the expedition to the land of the Tjemeh, it was reported to me and my heart grew faint. It carried me away on the path of flight, though I had not been talked about; no one had spat in my face; I had not heard a reproach; my name had not been heard in the mouth of the herald. I do not know what brought me to this country; ... The Story of Sinuhe is remarkable since it names a Bible character "Edomite chief Jeush of Gen 36:15-18" and echoes both contemporary Joseph and then later, Moses. The date of the story (1900 BC) is exactly when Joseph was in Egypt (1899 BC) and shorty after Esau moved to Edom in 1926 BC. What we read in the book, we find in the ground, or in this case in a papyrus manuscript that dates to 1800 BC. Several ancient copies of this story ... ...

399: Trinity proof texts: John 5:18
... It is interesting to note that the common Jew was forbidden to work, but then in the same passage, the priests were told do the work for them in Num 28:9-10; 18-19). So the same work on the sabbath day brought stoning to the common Jew and blessing to the Priests. In John 7:19: Jesus justified working/healing on the Sabbath by ... And he rose and came forward. 11 And He said to them, "What man shall there be among you, who shall have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it, and lift it out? 12 "Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." 4 And He *said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to kill?" 9 And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save a life, or to destroy it?" - But they kept silent. - - 5 And after looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, 10 And ... ...

400: Holy Spirit in the New Testament The Gift of the Holy Spirit
... Corinthians had the spiritual gifts measure, and finally, the non-miraculous personal indwelling measure. b. The entire structure is based upon a false reading of italicised words in the KJV of John 3:34 to wrongly imply that the Holy Spirit was given TO JESUS without measure. "God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him" (KJV). ... Quote 1 Cor 13:8-13 that explicitly says that tongues ceased when the revelation of God was complete in the final canon of the 27 book of the New Testament: i. "Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will ... ...
