FrancisTony: @MR harbiolar. The termChristmasappeared in Old English as early as 1038 A.D. asCristes Maesse, and later asCristes-messein A.D. 1131. It means "the Mass of Christ." This name was established by the Christian church to disconnect the holiday and its customs from its pagan origins. As one fourth century theologian penned, "We hold this day holy, not like the pagans because of the birth of the sun, but because of Him who made it."
Although it is true that many traditional Christmas customs find their origins in pagan practices, these ancient and forgotten associations are far removed from the hearts of Christian worshipers today at Christmastime. So much so, it seems a pointless concern. If the focus of Christmas is Jesus Christand his gift of eternal life, then what harm can come from such a celebration? Moreover, Christian churches see Christmas as an occasion to spread the good news of the gospel at a time when many unbelievers pause to consider Christ

FrancisTony: smh! Dude stop fabricating lies. In act the disciples worshipped in the first day of the week and it's sunday.

macof:

That's wat u always say
That am lying, am lying.

If u study on these things I stated you would find out they are true.

But of course, your brain is locked inside a fictional book called "Bible" I wonder wat the name means sef

macof:

And is it u dat isn't daft?

Yahweh who should be ur God(we all know christianity is confused about it's God) was worshipped on the sabbath day in ur Bible. U disobey and hell is waiting for u.

In Rome, so many Gods were honored. Gods from Egypt, Greece and Mithra from Persia. Horus and Mithra's festivals were held 25th December. And Sunday of every week was the day of Sun-Day Worship. The God of Sun being Mithra and Tabs weren't held against Honoring Zeus and Horus too.
Kemetian Gods are associated with the Sun and Horus was worshiped according to the Kemetian rights. Zeus being the head God in Roman territory was also honored during all festivals

@macof & @harbibola, I've extensively dealt with the issue of Christians worshipping on Sunday & not Saturday, Sabbath before but can't remember the thread now but to summarise, you all know that the early disciples & apostles were practising Jews including Paul. Now Paul because of his zeal to preach the gospel to all people including Jews, wanted them to partake in his teaching sections and not offend some of them, made Christians to meet on the first day of the week (Sunday), while himself went to the synagogue on Sabbath day, so the gentile churches who knew little or nothing about the law simply continued that tradition. Shalom.

macof:
Bull crap.

The gentiles have always worshipped on Sundays and it has nothing too do with Paul.

Paul himself was half Jew, Half Mithrait.
He also worshipped on Sundays

It's got nothing to do with Jesus

FrancisTony: shut the "F". Smellos

harbiola1:

Dec. 25 was used by Pagans to celebrate their pagan god.
Several pagans' Dec. 25 practices was later retained by Christians to commemorate a person that wasn't borne on Dec. 25.

The Month, Date and Practices has nothing to do with its Pagan origin because christians have hijacked to spread the good news of the gospel at a time when many unbelievers pause to consider Christ.

Mind you, these are the same people that resuscitated Ostara festival with its Pagan practices (e.g Easter egg, Easter bunny, egg hunting...).

Why did they always have interest in Paganism?

FrancisTony: What's this one saying. Smh
