Christmas: What About It?

[EDITOR:  A recent article on the "Anti-Preterist" website posted an article about Preterists and the celebration of Christmas--or the lack thereof on the past of some.  It was the contention of the author that Preterists reject the observance of Christmas and therefore are somehow "off" in their theology as a result.  The article was full of unsubstantiated claims which deserve appropriate comment.]

The observance, or non-observance of calander holidays falls into the realm of individual conscience and therefore is a matter of opinion rather than a matter of “faith.”  It falls into the same category as those issues raised by the apostle Paul in Romans 14:1-23 in the realm and context of Christian liberty.  In this passage, the apostle Paul addresses specifically those during the first century C.E. who were troubled over matters of “disputes over opinions” (14:1), related dietary issues and the observance of certain “days” (14:2, 6).
