What Jesus Hates About Christmas

[LittleDrummerBoy]

This seems like a bigger issue than materialism and purported pagan connections.

 

[Nicodemus]

"Hate" is a really powerful word. Did Jesus Christ ever actually utter the word "hate"?

 

[Nicodemus]

yes. Just not in English.

Where in the Bible did he say it?

 

[Nicodemus]

at least here...

Luke 14:26

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

the Greek word μισεῖ is unequivocal in its meaning.


But there are several other places as well.

Good enough.

 

[Nicodemus]

This is too confusing and too complicated for my simple mind. The Good Lord speaks to me in a different way.

Gentlemen, good day.

Did anybody actually watch the video? I didn’t, but it doesn’t sound like anyone else did, either.

 

[gordon 2]

I have not. I'm just going to guess that the increase number of returns is worrisome and go with that.

I watched the video. Had no choice! It’s my job. I found some of the same Ol song and dance in it and not by the choir.
This is the extent of my commitments.

I watched it and found it practical.

A W.C. Fields quote comes to mind. I won’t post it, though, since it might break the rules.
