eddy spice: i agree. eddy spice: I disagree with this statement for two reasons: 1. For some Christians there is a sincere desire to celebrate Christ, it is not just because Jesus is mentioned in the feast. 2. Not every facet of the original festival is still practiced today. please get your facts right before coming here to spread false info. eddy spice: What you guys should know is that it's not every activity of a pagan that makes him what he is. Giving of gift is not what makes somebody a pagan, same for some other practices. We should look at these activities and practices to determine what would amount to sin. Christian giving of gift is no sin. From my understanding, it was the church that instituted christmas. I understand it was not properly implemented, but if subsequently refined to truly reflect something worth partaking in, what could be wrong with that. |

Zikkyy: birth day celebration is not an example set for us by the Jews faithful/partriachs and the christians followers of christ. The celebration of birthday is a partan shown to be of wordhipers of satan. "salvation originate from the Jews. John 4:22 ^^^ else you will be following a partan that is clearly synonimouse with the Gentile and wordhipers of satan. It is your choice my friend. The sister is doing her best to show that we should follow the example set for us if we dont want to take any risk of making mistake. God Yahweh and satan dont shear anything in common. You cannot either slave for two masters. God and the tradition of men that was set by satan for the befor christ came and befor Yahweh revealed his law to israel. Did you think that Yahweh forgot the date of christ birth if the day of christ birth was really important? 2 Likes |

ijawkid: I don't see an anything. I have asked for a non pagan date. Please stop talking about pagan date if you cannot provide a non-pagan date appropriate for celebrating Christmas. |

There is nowhere in the bible where we are commanded to celebrate the birthday of Christ talk less of falsely and arrogantly making it the 25th of December, which we all know is a pagan day. What we should really Celebrate is his resurrection and the life we have received through the Power of the Holy Spirit because of Christ. 1 Like |

ijawkid: Pagans did not celebrate Christ. So what's this talk about stealing a pagan festival? ijawkid:Are you now saying we should adopt the laws of the old testament? |

ijawkid: You are still arguing with your emotions. if alexleo is celebrating christmas because he saw others doing it, ijawkid, truthislight and plappville will also be celebrating it because they saw others doing it. Why don't you allow alexleo tell you why he is celebrating Christmas? |

truthislight: Importance is not the issue here, otherwise i would be saying it is mandatory to celebrate Christmas. I asked a question, "do you consider my action to be a sin that God will ensure i receive the necessary punishment?" it is a simple question, just ensure you support your answer with proof from scriptures |
Re: Christians, Can You Trace The History Of Your Feastival......? by eddyspice(m): 1:01pm On Dec 25, 2012 |
@zikkyy giving of gift is highly recommended in d scriptures(acts 20:35)which is part of christian living every tym.however,for me i am not againts giving gift at a particular tym i am highlighting on d orgin of d celeberation and its uniformity among those who celebrated it world wide |

Wishing you a 'bombastic' Xmas . Please don't drink and drive, I very much want to read your posts in year 2013 "I jump am pass" not For me guy. Party and having of fun is turning to the trap that will catch you on this. |

Zikkyy: Sorry you lost me here, I simply stated that Christmas is not a Christian holiday , used to be called Yuletide especially in Europe and has nothing to do with Christ or his message. However I use this period as a reminder to others of Christ and his sacrifice. |

ijawkid: And you want to tell me that everything you do in life was instituted by you. The songs you sing in church was composed by you ijawkid? And because a pope institued christmas does that make it sin? So even when a pope brings out a good idea we should reject it because we are not catholics? No sir. Christmas is a fraud and an insult on Jesus only in your view. Not in other people's views. |

eddy spice: I like you, you are more reasonable that is not to say i don't like my other anti-xmas brothers and sister o! eddy spice: I said something in one of my posts here. we should consider if the larger population of peeps celebrating Christmas are Christians. If we say the celebration is not done in a manner acceptable to God by true Christians, that would be a concern. If you adopt the issue of origin, then i will say all form of worship ultimately originated from the initial practice by Cain and Abel. Pagan worship has its origin from worship of God, you think that make pagan worship acceptable to God? Why would intent matter in such case and not matter when it comes to the issue of Christmas? |

Zikkyy: pegan celebrate birth days. Birthday celebration is pegan and you also celebrate it. You and pegans have that in common. Servant of Yahweh and christ dont celebrate birthdays. No? Then show me where they did? You are a pegan or one of them then if you dont show me. Christianity means followers of christ and not followers of pegans. 1 Like |

frosbel: It is a general holiday these days. Based on it's original intention and as practiced by true Christians that chose to celebrate it, it has everything to do with Christ. |
Re: Christians, Can You Trace The History Of Your Feastival......? by alexleo(m): 1:35pm On Dec 25, 2012 |
You people are just making noise. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus. A pagan cannot celebrate Jesus so what you people are saying here doesnt make sense. truthislight: |

Zikkyy: Why is the anti-xmas community avoiding this question na? It will also be wrong my bro......that would be presumptuousness........did Jesus tell you to......this is why I say it is the celebrants of the xmas that end up been selfish.....you project your own longing for merriment and feel you can squeeze Jesus into it........ 1...Did Jesus celebrate his own birthday??NO 2...Did he beg or command his disciples to commemorate his birthday after his ascension??.....NO... So why on earth would you wanna celebrate his birthday??........... Let the figure you are celebrating give the go-ahead first.........and worse of all you have rubbed Jesus along with paganism........that's why I say its an insult to Jesus......he would be shaking his head in heaven...... |
