Is Valentine In The Bible? Reading or listening to the Bible helps us avoid these common mistakes. We should not believe in that which is not written or mentioned in the Bible. I recommend regular Bible study on interesting topics. Choose a topic like this. Study hard!
It is not bad to celebrate a loved one. But again, should it be a one-day-thing? How do we celebrate our loved ones? Is it in a manner that pleases God? These are the questions every christian who practices Valentine celebration should really evaluate. Truth is valentine is not in the Bible 😃😃.
Valentine Day; Who started Valentines Day?
In the year 268AD, In Rome, there lived a powerful emperor by the name Emperor Claudius II. He had an army. War was common. Emperor Claudius II studied his army and realised that most of his soldiers were ‘distracted’ or ‘reluctant’ and getting more soldiers to join his army was hard. He decided to investigate this.
Emperor Claudius II realised that his soldiers were reluctant. They weighed the impact on their wives and children and wished to have more time with them. This greatly displeased him. To insure large numbers of soldiers for his armies, Claudius outlawed marriage for the young men.
Emperor Claudius II could just not absolutely stop marriages!
