Should Christians Celebrate BIRTHDAYS? - Kenneth C Herrmann - March 1959

Kenneth C Herrmann

Why does the Bible omit mention of the birthdates of such men as Abraham, Moses and even Jesus Christ? Where did the custom of celebrating birthdays begin? SEARCH your Bible! How many birthday celebrations do you find? That of a Pharaoh who celebrated his birthday by hanging his chief baker (Genesis 40). And a second, Herod's birthday celebration at which John the Baptist was beheaded (Matt. 14:6). Only two definite birthday celebrations in the entire Bible! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
