Can a Noncalvinist Have a Merry Christmas?

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.

Kudos, Scarlett, Kudos,

And here is wishing you a warm, wonderful, Meaningful and Very Merry Christmas.

PS I even wish a Merry (non-calvinist) Christmas to Aaron.

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.

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:

That's how the song is sung. God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Not, rest yourselves merry.
