Merry Christmas

Merry CHRISTmas to everyone!  


(I'm getting some new arrows for my recurve this CHRISTmas...  there you go, pdk25... now it's archery-related       )

Peter,
     Merry Christmas to you my friend, and thank you for taking the time to recognize the true meaning of Christmas.

    Patrick,
            Merry Christmas to you also.It all started a long time ago,check this out: 2 KINGS 9:24
 
  Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow went through his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.

  It's all tied together buddy.Merry Christmas to all you guys!!!

                             Good Shooting,
                                   Craig

Xellent post Peter!

Merry Christmas all!

It's the time of year I can thank my God for his many blessings.
Retirement, and a new bow to celebrate it.
Most of all, giving my back my wife after I almost lost her with a heart attack.
GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!

Thanks for that Peter and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Ron,

Christ are cross are synonomous.  Christ was born to die.  And He did on the cross at Calvary.  The world, the secular world, would like to do away with all references to Christ and to the cross.  So if they replace Christ and cross with an X, they think they have eliminated Christ and the cross.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Christ and the cross are eternal!  And because of the price He paid at Calvary and He rose again the third day, we have available to us salvation rich and free and life eternally!

Peter, Merry Christmas to you as well....not Xmas....Christmas.

That's right George!

Merry Christmas to you too Pete, and to everyone else as well!

Hey, can anybody explain to me why the only two words in the english language that are abreviated with an "X" are Christmas and crossing?

Why is it that we only X out the words  Christ  and  Cross ?

PDK,

When I kill a deer with a new bow, I call the bowyer and thank him... When a man lets me hunt his private property, I thank him... When the Lord smiles on me and allows me to take the life of one of his creatures, I thank him too. It is all related.

A very safe and merry Christmas to everyone!

Ron

Thank you to the administration, you allow us a few times yearly. Such as holidays to stray a touch off topic so to speak. And allow us to wish one another well beings.


It allows me and the others to wish one another Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. As we are in many ways better than best friends. And have so many loved ones here on this site.


My best wishes to my brothers and sisters. Live long and prosper.  

                Merry Christmas


PS Thanks Pete

shaft slinger,

Actually all of mankind are born dead, in spirit, while Christ was born alive in the Spirit and was also born to die for the sins of all of humanity.  Sadly many of humanity reject the price He paid and stay dead in their trespasses and sins.  It's their choice, albeit a very poor one at that.

I think we need to forward Linus's explination to all of the retailers in the world that are pushing the material version of Christmas down societies throat!  Merry Christmas to all    Joseph

Amen Tradgangers!  Merry Chrismas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. (nut)

Merry Christmas Pete, Thanks for sharing, Big Ed

Wish everyone would remember to keep Christ in Christmas.  He is the reason for the season. God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas.

As our culture continues to coarsen under the influence of the secular progressive war on Christianity, this Oasis called "TradGang" is like a drink of clear and clean spring water.

This thread is a lift to my spirit. It's wonderful to know that Christ's birth is still the reason for the season for a lot of people.

Merry Christmas to all,

bc

Amen, bc!
