Quote (kenrch @ Aug. 27 2007,04:18)Is the birth of my flesh Important that which will be destroyed? That is nothing but filthy rags to God.Again, I ask for scripture to support this claim that the birth of my flesh is “nothing but filthy rags to God.”When I was born, I'm sure it did not escape my heavenly Father.

Quote (kenrch @ Aug. 27 2007,11:27)N3I1 What are the scriptural reasons why you celebrate the birth of your sinful flesh?I don't have any!

Quote (kenrch @ Aug. 27 2007,04:18)That is nothing but filthy rags to God.Scripture please?I don't believe God cares if we celebrate our birthdays.
