I think it's important to note the importance of Christ's human personhood and his mission on this earth. God is all powerful. He was fully capable of performing the priestly (giving the law and complete message) and kingly (turning our lives and concerns over to him) roles.

It was his human personhood was important to our salvation. His sacrifice reconciled our relationship with God. And as living as man, our brother (Mt 28:10, 6:10), he experienced a human life. Without original sin, yes, but with the body's limitations. Of all his trials, he survived with complete faith and devotion to God. This is why St. Paul calls him an important intercessor (Romans 8:34).

Jesus was both human and God, two complete persons in one. With that in mind, he reached out to his brothers and sisters. Samaritans, gentiles, even pagans across the sea of Galilee. He knows our experiences intimately, overcame them himself and challenges us to use them appropriately. He granted his apostles the great task to share the message to all the nations.

As his disciples, we act as his humble servants. We act with love toward others. We reach out to others, often having to cross the Galilee. When we do, do we not continue to adjust our arguments and tone (speaking in parables), forgiving each other (Lk 7:50) and being encouraged by acts of love and faith?

ok Samson01 I have done some homework...Easter in Acts 12:4 it states that And when he had apprehended him, (Jesus) he put him in prison and delievered him (Jesus) to four quarternions of soldiers to keep him (Jesus) intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people (to be Judged to be crusified)

You are right according to the holiday not being biblical holiday. The Catholic church had this Holiday already. It is a pagan Holiday but the Good news of Christ Risen and knowing and believing he Rose and Lives is the true Christian Heart belief. I believe and I believe that I will think more on not the celebration of Easter but remember what happen in Acts 12:4 instead.. It will be hard because traditions are hard to break because of what you subject yourself in by being mislead. I do want to state that Christians are meek people we can be used were followers Christ saw this and this is why we needed a Sherperd. He gave us the Holy Spirit to become Bold not shaken, not moved, More than Conquers through him....I hope this leads to understanding that I am willing to listen to what I need to change if God had given that person the understanding and knowledge to help me. So thank you for putting me to the test and my Mother already knew this I just am a person that can ignore (not listen to what I need to hear but I am working on this...

You can celebrate this Acts 12:4 everday of your life....I havent did my homework on the Christmas yet. If you would like to email me on Christmas or other knowledge of helping me feel free to deliver the input to me (like where do I find the information to help me) Thnks tknchances

I want to state that I am not celebrating he was took to the people to be judge ( I celebrate he was Risen) Conquered death so I would not be Judged because of the blood he shed for me (because he was my friend) he gave up his own life to take the part in hell that I deserve.

Of course there are. Ye shall know them by their fruits :) Faith without works is dead, but we are saved by grace through faith.

I don't know if I would like to live in a world where faith through works is dead as you claim.

I read something interesting in Colossians 2 starting at verse 14 to respond to celebrating certain holidays and such. Just thought I'd throw it in the mix for support of certain holidays we celebrate.

Those verses in Colossians you refer to have nothing to do with Christmas and Easter. Christmas is the intermingling of the birth of Christ with Saturnelia and Brumelia. You can can see this in most any encyclopedia. Easter is the intermingling of the resurrection of Christ with Ishtar. I do not think Paul's words in Colossians allows for the mixing of Christianity with paganism of any kind.

I think that you misread what she said ..she said that "faith without wors is dead" Not faith through works...She was referring to James 2: starting in verse 14 ( although I think the whole chapter to me profitable ... I think that it might do you well to read what it is she (1lovelyItailan) was referring to .. so that is James 2:14-26 ...

God Bless
