Jws should please stop using the calendar months names since they have pagan origins.Some of them like January are named after roman gods.They should please stop using them or they will become hypocrites

I had asked chukwudi which calender or calender system the isrealites use when they were in EGYPt and also when they were vassals in babylon.........

The boy ran away from a very important discussion into calendars........if I ever reply chukwudi here then it means I'm jobless.......

So in effect you are implying the isrealites did use the pagan egyptian and babylonian calendars right? Where did you read that from? I thought you are a bible alone xtian?

It is okay to use a calendar named after pagan gods but sinful to celebrate Jesus birth on a day that merely used to be a pagan holiday! What hypocrisy.

Mind you Dec 25th in the current gregorian calendar is not same with dec 25th in the old julian calender

Ofcus they did...........would they have been using the jewish calender in a heathen land??....

Before the passover feast was instituted and before the isrealites were freed from the hands of the egyptians they were using the calenders of those nations.........but ofcus they never adopted the worship or festivities of the pagans......that is where you ERR....

Now may I ask you here.......was Jesus born on xmas day ??dec 25th?? Or its parallel in the julian calender??..........you heathen!!!!...........

I tire for the hypocriteooo.It is okay to use a pagan calendar without adopting their mode of worship but sinful to celebrate Jesus on a day that has enirely nothing to do with paganism(25th dec of the gregorian calendar is not equal to 25th calendar of the julian calendar).

Where in the bible did you even read that the isrealites adopted pagan calendars? Abi u r just assuming.

I'm not diverting the discussion.......I just gave an answer with how Gods people in the past viewed the calendar system of there time even before the jewish calender and after..............what should concern you guys is how y'all have scavenged into paganism to pick up a festival claiming its for Christ.............

It is this same chukwudi that will jump up and down like a jelly fish on new years day just like the heathens do who worship the god (Janus).........Janus ,its worshippers and customs are things I've never adopted........but chukwudi and his crew has....

It is this same idolater chukwudi that should be doing much scrutiny........instead he is bringing a lame argument about calenders.......

I don't have to create a new calender just as servants in the past didn't have to change the calender systems they were under.........

Ok now tell me even from the julian calender was Jesus born on the proposed date that was snatched for the birth date of Jesus??......if you come out here to tell people that the date you celebrate xmas isn't exactly snatched from pagan sun god worshippers then you would be the greatest liar that ever lived.......

Just stop your ranting and tell us how xmas came about and how the spurious date for Jesus' birth was chosen.......oyAaaaaa........

Quit posting and accept your hypocrisy.You are using a pagan calendar system that is named after pagan gods and that is it.

Whether isrealites did use any does not ameliorate your hypocrisy.Afterall isrealites did worshio idols @ some point in their lives.

You are a hypocrite!! Live with that.
