Is it really Scriptures Alone or is that just a shibboleth?
Is it really Scriptures alone?
We read Christ's own words to the apostles:
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Wasn't there a deliberate divine purpose and wisdom for these:
- Jesus did not tell us his birth date, on purpose!
- Jesus' apostles did not tell us His birth date, on purpose!
- Jesus' apostles did not celebrate Jesus' birthday!
- Jesus' did not instruct us to celebrate his birthday!
- Jesus' apostles did not instruct us to celebrate His birthday!
- Jesus' apostles told us that we should celebrate Jesus' DEATH - NOT His birth!
Did Christ command the apostles to teach the NT believers to celebrate
His birthday? Is there any evidence? I wish to know. Thank you.
