    And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

    I think one would hallow the willingness of the saints above this glad tiding of great joy, because without it, the angel's message would have been a lie.

    I plan on having a blessed one! I don't celebrate Christmas as a non-Calvinist or a Southern Baptist or a moderate or a Republican or even as an American - even though all of those words describe me.

    I celebrate Christmas as a sinner saved by grace grateful for Jesus.

    We're having one of the best Christmases ever! And my non-Reformed position has. Prying to do with it.

    It's good to see Reformed Christians and regular Christians getting along at Christmas.

    Now matter where we stand on Calvinism, I think God probably approves of this.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    "Can a Noncalvinist Have a Merry Christmas?"

    No, not unless God decides he can, or if it was pre-dtermined that for certain years he would in fact have a Merry Christmas. Oh yeah, that thing about "so a man thinks, so he is"... forget it.

    I'm surely glad He pre-determined that I would have Merry Christmases, since I've never had a bad one.
    Please expand on this because I haven't a clue as to what your saying.

    Is there some reason that we are precluded from having one? If so, someone forgot to tell me, and I wouldn't really listen to you if you thought you had a reason. Anyway.............Merry Christmas to you Aaron and a blessed new year as well :love2::love2::love2::love2:

    Well, it just seems if no one was willing, then Christ would have saved no one.

    Just sayin'.

    God rest you merry.;)

    Yes! We can. And best wishes that God may have determined that you have a Merry Christmas too.
