Title: Birthdays
Post by: Craig on August 16, 2008, 10:37:29 AM
Ray, I have found only two occasions where the celebration of birthdays are listed in the bible.  The Old Testament talks about not following the traditions of the pagans and so also does the New Testament. Since my research shows that the history of birthday celebrations is definitely a pagan tradition, how do you view it.

Dear DA:  Keeping account of one's age and year of birth is mentioned dozens and dozens of times in Scriptures. No, it does not use such terms as "birthday parties," but it may well been a day of recognition and celebration.
God be with you,
