concerning Christmas all I would do is to point you to His Holy Word:
Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of
Conscience
20.1 The liberty which Christ hath purchased for believers under the Gospel, consists in
their freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral
24
law;1 and in their being delivered from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and
dominion of sin,2 from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the grave,
and everlasting damnation;3 as also in their free access to God,4 and their yielding
obedience unto Him, not out of slavish fear, but a child-like love and willing mind.5 All
which were common also to believers under the law;6 but under the new testament, the
liberty of Christians is further enlarged in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial
law, to which the Jewish Church was subjected,7 and in greater boldness of access to the
throne of grace,8 and in fuller communications of the free Spirit of God, than believers
under the law did ordinarily partake of.9
1Tit 2:14; 1 Thes 1:10; Gal 3:13; 2Gal 1:4; Col 1:13; Acts 26:18; Rom 6:14; 3Rom 8:28; Ps 119:71; 1 Cor 15:54–
57; Rom 8:1; 4Rom 5:1–2; 5Rom 8:14–15; 1 Jn 4:18; 6Gal 3:9, 14; 7Gal 4:1–3, 6–7; 5:1; Acts 15:10–11; 8Heb
4:14, 16; 10:19–22; 9Jn 7:38–39; 2 Cor 3:13, 17–18.
20.2 God alone is Lord of the conscience,1 and hath left it free from the doctrines and
commandments of men which are in any thing contrary to His Word, or beside it, in
matters of faith or worship.2 So that to believe such doctrines, or to obey such
commandments out of conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience;3 and the
requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy liberty of
conscience, and reason also.4
1Jas 4:12; Rom 14:4; 2Acts 4:19; 5:29; 1 Cor 7:23; Mt 23:8–10; 2 Cor 1:24; Mt 15:9; 3Col 2:20, 22–23; Gal 1:10;
2:4–5; 5:1; 4Rom 10:17; 14:23; Isa 8:20; Acts 17:11; Jn 4:22; Hos 5:11; Rev 13:12, 16–17; Jer 8:9.
20.3 They who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, do practice any sin, or cherish any
lust, do thereby destroy the end of Christian liberty; which is, that being delivered out of
the hands of our enemies, we might serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and
righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.1
1Gal 5:13; 1 Pet 2:16; 2 Pet 2:19; Jn 8:34; Lk 1:74–75.
20.4 And because the powers which God hath ordained, and the liberty which Christ hath
purchased, are not intended by God to destroy, but mutually to uphold and preserve one
another; they who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, shall oppose any lawful power, or
the lawful exercise of it, whether it be civil or ecclesiastical, resist the ordinance of God.1
And for their publishing of such opinions, or maintaining of such practices, as are
contrary to the light of nature, or to the known principles of Christianity, whether
concerning faith, worship, or conversation; or to the power of godliness, or such
erroneous opinions or practices, as either in their own nature, or in the manner of
publishing or maintaining them, are destructive to the external peace and order which
Christ hath established in the Church, they may lawfully be called to account, and
proceeded against by the censures of the Church,2 and by the power of the civil
magistrate.3
