Today
is June! Although no one allow celebrating my 30th birthday and so
neither do I. In the past I celebrated birthdays but now still not allow celebrating
it. However, some of my friends can send a birthday note for me. What is the
reason of not celebrating birthday? It is because of it is a pagan custom. The ancient
Jews, first Christians celebrated birthday. A person in honor of the particular
god of the astrological sign that person was said to be born under. That was to
appease that god, and supposed bring good luck to the individual. In the Bible,
no servant of true God is spoken of as celebrating their birthday, not even
Jesus or his apostles. The date of Jesus’ birth is not even mentioned in the
Bible, and nobody knows what the actual date of his birth is. The only two
birthday celebrations mentioned in the Bible were done by unbelievers,
worshippers of false gods, and bad things happened on those occasions. These were
an Egyptian Pharaoh, in which he had his chief cupbearer hung, and in Jesus’
day, King Herod had John the Baptist beheaded during his own birthday party. These
are the original birthday celebrations, and the bad light cast on such
celebrations by the Bible, that is the reason of choosing to not to celebrate
birthday.
Today
I cleaned the bathroom so hard to keep it clean and shine. Okay, I hope you
have a good night. Yours, Loi
