Colossians 2:16–17 and the Christmas Question

Colossians 2:16–17 does not trace the origin of any holiday. It forbids one believer to condemn another over days, foods and drinks, because those shadows find their substance in Christ.

Romans 14:5–6: Christmas and Christian Conscience

Romans 14:5–6 addresses days and diets that God neither commands nor forbids, and it settles them by conscience rather than by rule. That means a Christian may keep Christmas or decline it, as long as the choice is made to the Lord and love governs the fellowship.

Romans 1:18–32: The Universal Indictment

Romans 1:18–32 does not single out one group for special condemnation. It describes a universal exchange of God for created things and shows how God hands people over to desires they have chosen, a verdict that falls on the judging as well as the judged.

Romans 14:5–6 on Holidays and Christian Freedom

Romans 14:5–6 does not command or forbid particular days. It gives freedom to observe or not observe, and it directs both choices toward the Lord rather than toward winning an argument.
