Not sure if that is a typical post from a "good Christian", but Merry Xmas none the less bro.
I hope you can find some joy in your life.
No... it does not seem like a typical post from a good Christian... though orthodox Christianity would say there is no such thing as a "good Christian". Rather a fallen, broken, sinful man accepted by God through grace made available by the sacrifice of Him whose birth we celebrate here at roughly the winter solstice.
A sort of subtle point, but also central to the faith that many celebrate a bit extra this time of year. One cannot be a good Christian anymore than one can dig themselves out of a hole.But it is that grace that produces evidence of itself when that broken person turns away from his pride to God:
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
To those of you who do not believe, I thank you for tolerating those of us who do... during our celebration. And I invite you, if you are curious about the Christian faith in someone you know, to PM me. And no, I am not going to try to convert you. But I am glad to answer questions as far as I can.
And for those of you celebrating with me around this time I would offer these words written by a prophet nearly a millennia before the birth of Yeshua of Nazareth.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Merry Christmas to you all.
