Because of what Jesus brought and represents. The declaration of the angels was not necessarily about his birthday but about his assignment of redemption.
As we have seen from Scripture, the actual birth-date of Messiah (The Anointed) is not even recorded in Scripture and can only be estimated. If we are not even commanded to celebrate the birth of the Messiah, then what right do we have to indulge in the self gratifying celebration of one's own birth? The facts are: 1.) no one in Scripture is recorded to have celebrated their birthday except those of foreign (pagan) nations: Pharaoh (Gen 40:20) and Herod (Matt 14:6). 2.) Most of the traditions surrounding a birthday celebration are associated with paganism and worship of false gods. Birthday traditions are not only rooted in the pagan practice of astrology, but Egyptian pharaohs ordered businesses to close on their birthdays and gave enormous feasts (he was considered the incarnate sun). Saying “happy birthday” to friends and loved ones was society’s superstitious way of protecting them from evil spirits. Birthday thumps, bumps, pinches, etc. were said to bring luck and send away evil spirits. Party snappers, horns and other noisemakers were also intended to scare off bad-luck spirits. The custom of lighting candles originated with people believing that the gods lived in the sky and by lighting candles and torches they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods so they could be answered. When you blow out the candles and make a wish it is another way of sending a signal and a message. The lighted candles for the cake also may have originated from the birthday of the Greek moon goddess Artemis, honouring her every month with moon-shaped honey cakes. Because the moon glows with light, the cakes were decorated with lighted candles. Also take note that candles are a ritualistic part of nearly every one of the pagan celebrations covered. “The children are gathering wood, thefathers are lighting the fire, and the women are kneading their dough, to make cakes for the sovereigness ofthe heavens, and to pour out drink offerings to other mighty ones, to provoke Me.” (Jeremiah 7:18) Read scriptures and follow the Messiach not man.
So what about the angels who sang and praise the Lord the night the sheperd were watching their flocks . They sang and dance and celebrated the birth of our saviour Jesus and said Glory to God in the highest and peace and Good will to men. If angels celebrated the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ it seems right I joined the heavenly choir to celebrate alongside with them may the Name of the Lord be praise forever amen .
The three wise men symbolizing life,death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus christ...they where even led by the bright star (time and season) and they came bearing expensive gifts🎉🎉 happy birthday men@@emmanuelbentum2916
