Christmas, Hannukkah, etc are based on what they believe so they celebrate the holidays. Regiliouses can cause conflicts with other people. It's sad.
I believe that God does not want us to label ourselves as to which regilious we are in. I'm simply plain christian because I believe that Jesus died for us. Jewish doesn't believe that Jesus died for us.
What if my daughter or son falls in love with a jewish person and wants to marry him or her, that's absolutely fine with me and my husband because God wants everyone to love others no matter who they are like races, regiliouses, etc. God needs us to love others. So, christian and jewish couple have to compromise that they can celebrate BOTH holidays (christmas and hannukkah). It's not fair for them not to get married because of the STUPID regiliouses!! They love each other so much which is the most important thing!! We put that regilouses out.
I personally believe in God and believe that Jesus died for us. Ok...just very humble.
I have soooo many jewish friends from my hometown where I grew up. It has a very strong jewish community in my hometown - most of them in my hometown are not strong regilious (very weak). They said that they don't know if Jesus died for us. That's ok because it's hard for them to believe and they came from jewish families. They love christmas because they think it's so beautiful and really fun holiday. They said "merry christmas" to us and we said "happy hannukkah" to them.
So, really regiliouses really interefere others. I believe that God does not need that regiliouses. God needs us to love others. Yes, God wants people to believe in God and God knows that it is very hard for people to believe in Jesus because of the miracles. That's so hard for people to believe. It's been 2 thousands years!! So hard!
I wish there are NO regilouses so that way there would be NO fightings!!!!! See...that's why God does NOT need people to label themselves as to which regilouses they are in!
Again, I'm simply plain christian (no regilous label like catholic or methodist or etc). It means that I believe in God and I believe Jesus died for us. period!
Oh, that's right....one more thing to say...about the Bible...I think that the Bible is not 100% accurate because this Bible is 2000 yrs old and today is change. I think God changed few things like He allows few things "Ok, I change it because I allow it".
Happy Holidays!
