which religion doesn't celebrate birthdays?

i brought cake to my sons class and a girl had to be pulled out because her parents gave specific instructions that their religion does not allow the celebration of birthdays. actually her family does not celebrate any holdays. i was just curious to know which religion this is so that i could learn more about it.

Hope12 agrees: First, I wish to commend you on having the intellect to ask about why a religion does not celebrate, instead of putting them down. Good for you.

No holidays, no birthdays

This religion that does not celebrate holidays nor birthdays is the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Islam also does not celebrate birthdays, although so many muslim sects break those rules.

usualy they prefer to celebrate everyday if they are there love ones and not once a year, or other pagan holidays like valentines day that also happens once a year.

Muslims celebrate the birthday of the prophet Mohammed. They have exceedingly fine parties for the occasion and decorate the outsides of their mosques and motor vehicles. It is a very stirring sight.

I am surprised that the school let you share this cake with children who are not yours. They are usually extremely careful in case someone brings in a cake laced with marijuana or other drugs.

I am equally surprised that anyone should think that eating cake is the same as celebrating a birthday.

No religion practices birthdays, it is a pagan idea.

the original 2 faiths , Judaism, Christianity and Islam have never advocated Birthdays.

Even Christianity where suposed Jesus Birthday is celebrated is a new thing, no one did this until recent centuries and no one knows his birthday,

Dec 24th is based on a pagan God Mithra which has traces back in Rome, and nothing to do with Jesus, who refuted paganism and advocated it as the gravest sin.

again all pagan Gods where synchronized with the solar system and Mithra represented the winter solecist and the sun, wow, idiots who learned early astrology made a big deal over it is all it was.

Also another thing i wanted to mention to (Morganite) is that the Tenak is derived from the holiest book of the jews aka the Torah., i wanted to drop that here quick since we are talking about paganism again,

Judah is a greek pagan name itself, and only one of the 12 tribes of israel.

Been that Abraham refuted all these babylonian pagan practices of special days which they assigned false gods to that are synchronized with the solar system and since the system fluctuates anyway and no one had the clue to these details, Judah also added to there own secret books based on the Kabala, a African magical system which 2 angels tested the children of Israel to see if they would abuse there gifts..

As well as other babylonian books like the Talmud which states new inventions of racial theories like birth rites to a jewish inheritance as a race, non jews are vermin and should be for use, all kingdoms and there leaders should also be used and oppressed etc etc , basically everything you read satan telling Jesus on his 40 day fast trip.

False

Not all muslims believe in this idea.

Islam was NOT founded by mohammed, who specifically mentioned that no one should worship him., there is a clear doubt that all muslims do this and if this is actually Sunni as i understand it., some and very few people do this and it is denounced in Islam from what i was told.

[SIZE=1][2.130] And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the righteous.
[2.131] When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds.
[2.132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims.
[2.133] Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when he said to his sons: What will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your God and the God of your fathers, Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one God only, and to Him do we submit.
[2.134] This is a people that have passed away; they shall have what they earned and you shall have what you earn, and you shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.
[2.135] And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the polytheists.
[2.136] Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.
[2.137] If then they believe as you believe in Him, they are indeed on the right course, and if they turn back, then they are only in great opposition, so Allah will suffice you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[2.138] (Receive) the baptism of Allah, and who is better than Allah in baptising? and Him do we serve.
[2.139] Say: Do you dispute with us about Allah, and He is our Lord and your Lord, and we shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds, and we are sincere to Him.
[2.140] Nay! do you say that Ibrahim and Ismail and Yaqoub and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Are you better knowing or Allah? And who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimony that he has from Allah? And Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
[2.141] This is a people that have passed away; they shall have what they earned and you shall have what you earn, and you shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.
[2.142] The fools among the people will say: What has turned them from their qiblah which they had? Say: The East and the West belong only to Allah; He guides whom He likes to the right path.[/SIZE]

[3.65] O followers of the Book! why do you dispute about Ibrahim, when the Taurat and the Injeel were not revealed till after him; do you not then understand?

Tanak is NOT derived from Torah (teachings or Law). Torah is part of TaNaK, but the rest of TaNaK, Nebiim (prophets), and Ketubim (writings) are not derived from Torah

Judah is not Greek but Hebrew. It is a personal maculine name transliterated from the Hebrew name Yhuwdah {pronounced 'yeh-hoo-daw'}, meaning "praised".


There are other assumptions that you make that could be challenged, but a little at a time.

------------
What is the Jewish Holy Book called?
The most holy Jewish book is the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible).

The Torah (or teachings) contains the five books revealed to Moses by God on Mount Sinai.
Genesis
Deuteronomy
Numbers
Leviticus
Exodus

The collection of Jewish scripture is known as the TeNaCH (TeNaK) which derives from the three parts to the Jewish scriptures the Torah, the Nevi'im and the Ketuvim. The word TaNaCH is actually an acronym for the parts of the Hebrew Bible: "T" is for Torah, "N" is for Nevi'im, and "CH" is for Ketuvim. The Torah is the first part of the TaNaCH.

The word TaNaCH is actually an acronym for the parts of the Hebrew Bible: "T" is for Torah, "N" is for Nevi'im, and "CH" is for Ketuvim. The Torah is the first part of the TaNaCH.


Can you provide evidance if you do not believe the above please?

I know there is allot of false jewish history since Moses himself was not a jew

Dictionary-
TENAK is a Acronym?

ac·ro·nym P Pronunciation Key (kr-nm)
n.
A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.

By the way the hebrew alphabet been semitic has many Acronyms as the other origionally semitic languages starting with Aramaic, Arabic and again finaly Hebrew which finaly was spoken only since 1945., this was due to jewish history of there miss trust after the fall of the jewish nation which today has come back mostly as russian converts and anti semitic peoples who claim to be jews in the U.S.

With all respect i would like Evidence to your claims please, i speak to Rabbis and Muslim Scholars as well as priests in many Christian sects just about every other day, i again remind you that they all claim to have the very foundations of there faith in Abraham's religion, Submission to one God no matter what language you speak, pure heart and a humble manner will get your prayer a good response.

AS for the Judah part

The word "Jew" (in Hebrew, "Yehudi") is derived from the name Judah, which was the name of one of Jacob's twelve sons. Judah was the ancestor of one of the tribes of Israel, which was named after him.

Judah is only ONE OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

However, after the death of King Solomon, the nation of Israel was split into two kingdoms: the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel (I Kings 12; II Chronicles 10). After that time, the word Yehudi could properly be used to describe anyone from the kingdom of Judah, which included the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, as well as scattered settlements from other tribes. The most obvious biblical example of this usage is in Esther 2:5, where Mordecai is referred to as both a Yehudi and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

All this was after Moses who refuted a change from been the Children of Abraham's son Jacob AKA Israel.


The name Judah is greek as well as the name Masiah.
hus the Greek *Iasous* is the equivalent of Hebrew *Yehoshua*, The word Messiah in Greek is Christos = Christ.

I will get your more information to where the names of the children of Israel came from as we go on if you like.
