Thank you! I just came to this video from another that was saying some nonsense about celebrating your Birthday is for the moon God or some ridiculousness. People really need to start paying attention. The word says NOT TO ADD to it. These people don't understand that they themselves will be cursed for adding to the word.
THANKS. Sean K glad it helped you.
@SLT SCHOOL OF TRUTH!!!! That book was in 1969 and why would you read that in the first place. That’s twisting
@SLT SCHOOL OF TRUTH!!!! 😑😑😑
@SLT SCHOOL OF TRUTH!!!! OK first of all, calling me satanic is very concerning of you. I would NEVER do such thing. Second, I saw a comment that was saying it was made in that year. Third, even though they say something doesn't mean birthdays themselves are bad. The conclusion you did on Pharaoh and Herod, just because they did bad things on their birthday doesn't mean the birthday was bad itself. Remember, the devil is a liar. And if you're gonna spam caps and emojis at me like that, that just tells me you PROBABLY have bad fruit for a Christian. I'm saying this as a Christian.
@SLT SCHOOL OF TRUTH!!!! This was outside the bible
Instead of receiving giffs for yourself, give to the poor and the needy.
Instead of a wild drunken party, have a feast and invite your neigbors.
Instead making a wish, make a prayer
Instead of being the Bday king, Invite THE King.
Instead of praising yourself, thank God above all things first ♥️
Why would a serious Christian get drunk celebrating their birthday? Do you think a party is not the only way to celebrate a birthday?
So all my bdays were kinda depressing to the fact I started to humble myself and when people would ask what I'm doing for my bday I would say pray and thank God I'm still alive 🤔🤔🤔 I'm feeling so at peace right now my bday is in Oct. It's almost like I was suppose to have sad bdays because everyone would disappear on my bdays but make sure I'm there for there's. And now all I do is thank him I'm alive to live another age is the biggest gift ever, funny God will show me good things all year around until my bday hits then it's like I'm suppose to sit still and give praise because whenever I planned something it always went south. Thanks for the message man I needed to hear that I'm tired if crying each time it gets close to my bday because I can't remember me ever having a good one to remember. Man I swear being humble before God can be hard in times you expect people to show you love.
I overfeel you! Same here sadness on every birthday, and now I know what to do be selfless and praise the Most High Yah'we I'm alive, be bless my brodda
@@kyriagillissen408 amen my brotha in Christ, once we get over trying to get love from family and friends and only want the father's we will be good. But we still human and God knows our hurt so we will be good my brother we just gotta keep out faith and deny ourselves and keep following him
Praise Christ !!!
Our best gift ever is Jesus bc only He is The:
A) Only Begotten Son
of God
B) Way, Truth, & Life
C) Atonement/ Saviour/
Propitiatn/Redeemer
WE ARE NOT TO SWEAR
James 5:12= But above all things, my brethren, swear not... lest ye fall into condemnation.
Matthew 5:37= But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
@@kyriagillissen408 Praise Christ !!!
After calling The Most High & Messiah the following names for 10years:
- Yahweh/ Yeshua
- Adonai / Eloheim
He revealed to me that these are NONE of Their
Names =
but that these are names of pagan gods
I prayed & sought Him about it for = 1 month for each name = a total of 4 months
I feel the exact same! So I’m praying about it and I think I’m gonna spend my birthday with Jesus focused on him with my friends. Maybe praise him while outside in nature, read the Bible together and then go to dinner and talk about the experience and how good God is
I celebrate my birthday by giving someone else a gift, that has influenced me, throughout the year. I say to them, "It's my birthday, but you get the gifts!" 😊
You may celebrate your birthday, but also celebrate the day you were born again, and may the celebration of your earthly birth also be a testament to the day you were truly given life (as should all days be).
🙂🤝.
I remember a day when I was so self absorbed that I would "celebrate" my whole birthday month..It makes me cringe to think I'm worthy of that nonsense...so much self, self self in us humans, even when we work real to NOT be that way.😔
Leslie Anne this is one thing we must avoid like you said. Making it sinful. Thank you for sharing.
@@InThyWord you can feel it when its wrong...celebration of life is one thing...grateful for your parents, grateful for your accomplishments and self examining what needs fixing is what I now around my birthday
Leslie Anne makes sense. 👍
We should ask ourselves, is the Scripture our God given standard for living to Christians? I believe it is. Since it is, how many of God servants do we find that have celebrated their birthday? The only answer is, none.
Other questions we should ask ourselves. Is God glorified in birthday celebrations? No! Or, is it about ourselves; that is, self gratifying by receiving gifts and even praises? The answer is, yes! Is it of pagan origin? Yes! So, what do Bible believers have to do with pagan customs and traditions? Nothing!
Jesus said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)
The Bible has its own interpretation, definition, and meaning..we need only to search and read...Pharaoh is not the followers and worshippers of God of the Bible..you are right Brother that the most important to celebrate is when you are born to Christ..according to Jesus Christ to Necudemus Israel's Teacher that the man be born again with spirit and water..
Isaac Blue thanks.
Baptism = spiritual birthday
Thanks You for your video and God will bless you.🙏✝️❤
Thank you. Welcome to the channel. God bless.
Birthdays = sin
Spiritual birthday = good
Yahusha was honored at birth because of prophecy and honoring him is honoring The Most High that’s not the same thing as just celebrating birthdays to honor humans
Praise Christ !!!
After 10yrs of calling The Most High & Messiah the following names:
- Yahweh/ Yeshua
- Adonai/ Eloheim
- Halleluyah
He revealed to me that those are NONE of Their Names
but are names of pagan gods

Plain and simple no you shouldn’t because the customs attached to celebrating birthdays are rooted in paganism. It breaks the first commandment of not having other gods.
nice.. celebrate the day of repentance. very nice shalom
Good massage thank you
Thanks and welcome subbarao cherukuri
Both Pharaoh and Harod were wicked men and did not love Elohim nor His people. There is no place in the bible that tells us to celebrate our birth, or the birth of another, but it does tell us to cry at a birth and celebrate death. Yahshua Never requested that a party be planned for him, or that gifts should be given to him or others on a certain day on his behalf, ie birthday, Christmas etc. Furthermore, there's no proof of the exact date that he was born, so who are we really pleasing if Elohim didn't tell us to do it. The word of Elohim is Very Clear about what festivals and Holy Days were to be kept, and do we think He forgot to mention Birthdays, Christmas, etc. What we do know is the bible tells us not to follow the customs and traditions of the heathens, or to follow after their practices. ALL of their created holidays are pagan. Do your own research of their origins. If we really want to do Elohim's will and be pleasing to Him, We must first die to self, and come away from All the pagan holidays. It's not about our opinions, but what the word of Elohim says.....We should give thanks everday for Him allowing us to wake up. Shalom.
Leviticus 18:1-3&30
“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,”
“Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.”
“After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.”
Love this bro! Powerful video!
Mrs ICanWin thanks sis
Thanks alot
peris njeri I’m happy you liked the video. I hope it blessed you largely.
The day that Job's children died, they were at the eldest son's house celebrating his Birthday...and the house fell and killed all 10 of them!
there is no guarantee that is was his birthday. But you are highlighting that people died at a birthday party?
@@InThyWord You're making pagans to enjoy your videos and denying the true spirit(WORD) Job 1:4-5,13
[4]And his sons went and 👉feasted in their houses, every one his day(Birthday); 👈and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
[5]And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have👉 SINNED,👈 and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
[13]And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
@@yahcanonbenisrael650 Did Job’s children observe birthdays? No they did not! The original language words for “day” and “birthday” are different, each having its own meaning. At Job 1:4, the word “day” is used, denoting an interval of time from sunrise to sunset. The seven sons of Job held a seven-day family gathering once a year (Possibly a spring or harvest festival). As they made the circuit, each son was the host of the banquet held at his house on “his own day!”
@@yahcanonbenisrael650 Praise Christ !!!

Why will you celebrate the day God sent you away from heaven to this world? This world is not of God so we should celebrate when God saved us from this world
I feel like you went the long way around. To me you aren’t to celebrate your birthday. Christ said to deny self and follow him. Celebrating and having gifts is exalting self. Plus, why are you celebrating something on the day you were born into bondage. You should not want any parts of that. We is supposed to serve in spirit not flesh.
Again, if someone wants to do it, that’s on them. As for me, no.
I don’t even celebrate anyone else birthday.
Each and every celebration or ceremony.Man made is sin.

So celebrating your kids graduation from high school is a sin???
Thank God your not my parent, you'd probably burn my Diploma.
i have three questions,
1. so can you celebrate your birthday?
2. can you celebrate other people’s birthdays?
3. what if you do celebrate your birthday?
(or anybody’s birthday)
Nguyen Nguyen 3. Do you mean what if you do not celebrate birthdays?
no like what if you celebrate
your birthday while your still a christian.
Nguyen Nguyen
1. Yes you can celebrate the day you were born. It’s not a sin.
2. You can celebrate someone else on the day they were born.
3. Celebrating birthdays is not a sin. Neither is rejoicing the day someone is born again.
Nguyen Nguyen any other questions you want me to answer? I will do my best, by God’s graciousness.
so i have two more questions cuz i’m pretty new:
1. can a christian play violent games?
2. how do you get a relationship with god?
yea does are my two final questions,
i would be really happy if you actually
answer! 😇
Job 1:4-5...His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
It's ok to celebrate your birthday, as long as its done in the manner that's pleasing to the Lord and you glory His Holy name throughout the entire celebration and after.
Job 1:8...Then the LORD said to satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
They celebrated Jesus birth only the day he was born and not any other future days
Valid points. However how is this addressed with Children who are too young to repent and their days of birth?
There is nothing wrong with celebrating a birthday. But the most important day in a Christian's life is the day they are born again and get saved. If someone is too young, or not a Christian yet, celebrating that day is not possible.
Please read Ecclesiastes 7:1
Please read Ecclesiastes 7:1
I kind of thought about something, birthdays could be looked upon as a celebration of the day God brought someone into existence, afterall The Lord has not forgot the day He made you to be a blessing upon the earth. Isnt it funny how people think nothing of remembering the day someone dies.. but your not supposed to remember or be happy that you were created and birthed by God on a certain day? God never said we had to pay attention to our ages either..but we do. I somehow think celebrating the day God created us is as important in remembering and honoring the day when we have died and He has called us home.
Read Job 1: 1-5.
Let the spirit of truth reveal unto so that you may walk in obedience unto the Lord.
@Jennifer Gyasi thanks for sending me that scripture. Where does it say in Job 1 1-5 celebrating birthdays was a sin?
@@InThyWord hello in Job it is taking about a feast being held for every son "on his day" and later Job went and made a sacrifice to God saying he was sure his sons had sinned and cursed God.
So now you need to look at what " his day means". In Hebrew it means "yom" meaning a day, a time and year. Ok so where else do we see this being said? Look at Job 3:1 -3
1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2And Job spake, and said,
3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
"His day" meaning the day he was born, his birth day.
Even Job believed his sons has sinned and cursed God during the feast on his day and again you see Job cursing his day.
Im not saying we cannot bless God for allowing us to see a new year but beyond that I do believe it is self worship. And honestly we should thank God everyday he allows us to open our eyes because it is another day we live. Think about it
Even though we see Herod celebrating his bday in the bible we really have to look at the evil that happened that day and God has told us to worship him only everyday. We should not pick up traditions as the world.
Ask God about it and he will lead you not believing what I'm saying but what the word says as the holy spirit reveals. Be blessed
@@faithfulwitness9172 Thanks for the response.
In Job 1 5 doesn’t it say “maybe/perhaps my children have sinned” not my children have sinned? If celebrating a birthday was sinful would he not have said they sinned?
Also, in verse 5 is not the emphasis on his children potentially cursing God?
Secondly, Job cursing HIS DAY he was born because he is suffering doesn’t mean you should curse your day does it? And doesn’t that actually imply normally your day is blessed and not cursed?
Are you not reading your doctrine into the text?
And why is celebrating your birthday self-worship, can you not celebrate in a God-honouring way?
@@InThyWord it says it may be that my children have sinned and cursed God. Read please. Im not trying to be argumental but read. So in that context why did he say that and what was going on for him to say that.
Job cursing "his day" is an example of what "his day" meant. Open your eyes and also the holy spirit to give you understanding if you choose so. Brother your understanding of the word is a little off, im not trying to be mean im saying this in love.
It is easy for us to fall into self worship thus why God has told us "to not do as they do"
@@faithfulwitness9172 You didn’t answer my question.
It may be does not mean, they did. You are claiming celebrating a birthday is a sin or we should not do it. If that is what Job is saying he would not say it may be. He would say they sinned.
You’re reading into the text because someone probably told you celebrating a birthday is a sin.
The Bible doesn’t say what you are saying.
Show me an Israelite or Righteous person who celebrated their birthdays? You won't find it!!!
What did you think of my video?
Bar Mitzvah
Show me an Israelite or Righteous person (not including Jesus Christ) who has never committed a sin in there entire life? You won't find it.
@@ModernHamite Praise Christ!!!
We are to seek Jesus to Sanctify us = so that we no longer ""will"" to sin
Not just believe in Him = but also ON Him
For Him to make & keep us:
A) justified
B) holy & clean
C) sanctified
D) Righteous & Just
E) perfect & pure
Not just forgiven = to live worldly nor fleshly
@@biblestudy3823 you have to be more specific. What kind of people exactly are you describing as we?
yes
Job use to sacrifice for his children when they celebrated birthdays JOB 1:4-7
watch this verse that talk about the saints
Revelation 12:17
King James Version
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ
Our religion warned me about this. But Icelebrated it bcs I envy other people. NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH.
Which religion warned you?
@@InThyWord My religion, Jehovah's witnesses. Birthday's are forbidden to us bcs of the same reasonings too
@@alexajulianna2424 ok, thank you for your response, as a witness do you believe the Bible forbids celebrating a birthday?
@@InThyWord Yes, Jesus said end is better than begging right? And the only thing he asked for us to celebrate is his death.
Birthdays were never celebrated by the Israelites, disciples or Jesus it was not a custom for them
So what if I don't remember my accurate day of salvation? Youre making me feel kinda bad now lol. Still I know God is in my life 😊
Me too! It was quite a long process to me and I don't know the day I was born again
I never knew, I have a vague knowledge of the time period but it was a process. The exact date isn’t important, as long as we can remember who we were, who Jesus is, and who we are now because of Him. I’m pretty sure throughout history all people didnt have calendars to mark down the specific dates
just to ask what's your nationality
Isn't it obvious
It would seem nice to celebrate your ‘re-birth’ day on each anniversary of being baptized & being reborn in Christ! Having the mentality of ‘me, me, me’ on your birth date as if it’s all about you seems wicked. And those providing gifts - like the wisemen did Jesus seems like a mockery.
King Herod killed John on his birthday, after being taken by lust & a lap dance - like the devil was mocking Jesus’ birth by killed His most beloved disciple.
Is birthday self idolatry?
no
You tread a fine line if it becomes a big celebration centered around yourself. All Glory and esteem to the redeemer! He is awesome!!!
There is no scripture that states it is against God's will to celebrate birthdays. To say otherwise is "Going beyond what is written."
The Bible never refers to a worshipper of God celebrating their birthdays, only those individuals that didn’t and the deaths that followed. (Genesis 40:20-22; Matthew 14:6-10)
God wants us to enjoy ourselves but we can’t do things that displease him. The only event Jesus commanded us to observe is the Memorial of his death!
@@sunnyjohnson992 The Bible at no point states you should not celebrate your or other JW's birthdays. To say otherwise is "Going beyond what is written." Jesus was betrayed in a garden, this does not mean "Gardens are evil."
Celebrating your birthday is self glorifying
The fact is that u don't know your actual birthday. The day god made u is the actual birthday. So it is sin.Are u celebrating that day?@@jacobfield4848
Send me something I can understand . He is only one person why should I believe him You had a birthday every year. Because I was glad u were born. Are you not happy your new baby was born . I think you was very happy and u are still celebrating believe me 💐❤️💐. But u want to believe that because u don't want to do anything for anyone's. You are put of that religion so why are u still keeping there saying u believe some but not all what is that get it together God is coming back soon. I want u to make it IN.
Birth is the begining of dead, birth is separation from God, this world is not of God, bith is actually the first dead, the second dead is when you die without Jesus , the second dead is whenbyou come back to this world ,,,so this world is hell, and the question is this,,,,,why on earth you would be happy about your bithday if you are dead without Jesus? If you live this world you will miss the glory of God that is the new Jerusalem the city of gold ,,,,why should you celebrate your birthday if you were sent to this world as a punishment? Why should you celebrate that you got ceparated from God? Why should you celebrate you dead? You are dead in this world that is what the bible tell us ,,,if not then why do you ne a savior?
So can I celebrate bc I want my cake
Yes. A celebration on a birthday is more to you than cake though right?
@@InThyWord yes
Good to hear 👂.
Praise Christ !!!
Best to ask The Creator HIMSELF
God had the 10 commandments and many laws written and none of them say you can’t celebrate your birthday. If it was wrong he would have said so. Everything else is overthinking
There are two birthdays mentioned in the Bible and both ended in murder. God disapproves of many things even if it’s not in the 10 Commandments. We must do what He requires to worship him properly.
The Law Covenant required that a woman, after giving birth present a sin offering to God. (Leviticus 12:1-8) This is a poignant reminder that humans pass sin on to their children, and this legal requirement helped the Israelites to have a balanced view of the birth of a child and discouraged them from adopting pagan birthday customs. (Psalm 51:5)
If it isn't the High Holy Days and isn't for The Most High and Christ. Then it is vanity.bdays are for children . The whole Birthday song is a ritual. Look up Anton Levy on Bdays ,... Study in truth .APBTTMH
Sir how do you expect anybody to grasp what you are saying when you talk so fast as though you are not sure of what you are saying. We desire to learn and a good teacher makes sure his students can first of all hear and understand everything that is being said.
Can Christians celebrate Christmas?
I don’t think we should. It has pagan traditions twisted in it- like Santa, Christmas trees etc.
Good question. I answered here for you and anyone else interested czcams.com/video/7wM4yn-dy5U/video.html
@@InThyWord thank you!!!
Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th, a date linked to pagan religion. We are to commemorate the day of his death, not the day of his or anyone else’s birth.
Bro, given a chance you will lead many astray. When did the memorial of Christ's birthday done? He had to be celebrated on his birth day for he was the Savior of Israel. But it never happened again for a memorial. Bro you know Pagans love this kind of unruly feasts and you're supporting this kind of garbage. You shall be answerable in the day of judgement for sitting in judges seat
no-one said you have to have unruly feasts.
Praise Christ !!!
We are commanded to:
- love our neighbor
- honour all men
But come out from among them = So why are you calling him bro?
