Pastor Kumiyi is right. Christmas is idolatrous, but so are most other aspects of Christianity. The purported virgin birth, divinity of Jesus Christ, his crucifixion, resurrection. These are not unique to Christianity but abound in other ancient religions around the present day Middle East. Open your eyes Africans, there is nothing historical about Christianity--it, like all other religions, is allegorical. Jesus Christ may or may not have existed but outside the Bible he is not mentioned anywhere else except in the writing of the Roman historian Flavius Josephus who refers to a Christ. December 22 is Winter Solstice when the sun fades into the azimuth in the Northern hemisphere and 'dies for three days'. It only begins to rise on December 25th. Coincidence that December 25 was fixed as the birth date of Jesus? Of course not. Jesus Christ, like most ancient deities, is likely a personification of the sun. Twelve months in a year, twelve apostles. Sun dies for three days and rises and so does Jesus Christ. There's a lot more. Only the intelligent and wise can understand the symbolism in Christianity. It's all myth and allegory. It is not historical. Wake up Africa. The Europeans who brought the religion to you no longer believe in it literally. 7 Likes |

Christmas is also known as Christ Mass. It originated from pagan religion. But if U use the celebration for something +ve, you'll be better for it. |

The General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor W.F Kumuyi, has again warned members of the church against celebrating Christmas, saying the annual celebration of Christmas is idolatrous and unscriptural.

honey001: I AM A GENUINE CHILD OF GOD, AND I LOVE PASTOR KUMUYI'S MESSAGES SO MUCH. I ALSO UNDERSTAND HIS MESSAGE CONCERNIG CHRISTMAS, BUT I WANT TO DISPUTE THE FACT THAT JESUS BIRTH SHOULDNT BE CELEBRATED. [color=#000000]NOBODY IS SAYING THAT JESUS WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 25TH, RATHER ITS JUST A DAY MARKED OUT FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO REMEMBER THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOUR. I AM NOT IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT MANY CHRISTIANS FALL INTO DIVERSE TEMPTATION IN THIS PERIOD BECAUSE OF ITS ABUSE. CHRISTMAS CAN BE CELEBRATED IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THE DEEPER LIFE CELEBRATES IT WITH RETREAT EVEN EASTER(CHRISTMAS AND EASTER RETREAT) THE REDEEMED CELEBRATE IT WITH CONGRESS THE ANGLICAN AND SOME OTHERS CELEBRATES IT WITH CRUSADES AND CAROL THE WINNERS IS SHILO ETC. THE ONLY DIFFERENT WITH DEEPER LIFE AND OTHERS IS THAT; DEEPERLIFE CHOOSE TO FIX THEIRS WITH 25TH INCLUSIVE WHILE OTHERS DO THEIRS BEFORE OR AFTER TO ALLOW THEIR MEMBERS HAVE TIME FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL OR FAMILY PROGRAMMS AND CELEBRATION. ANYBODY THAT IS CAPABLE OF MISBEHAVING ON 25th CAN ALSO MISBEHAVE ANY DATE. MEANWHILE THE ESSENCE OF DECLARING 25TH PUBLIC HOLIDAY IS COS OF CHRISTMAS IF NOT WORKERS WONT BE FREE TO ATTEND THE RETREAT[/color] 1 Like |

I heard this on the radio and I was taken aback . Nigerian Christianity is really turning into something else, we act like Nigerians are the ones who are going to be in heaven alone, but there wold be a great surprise. Yes we don,t know exactly when Jesus was born but Christmas remains the greatest evangelism for christ. Recently I was with Indians who knew nothing about Christianity but they knew about Christmas and the love and joy it brings and wanted to share in it. The responsibility of Christians is to ensure that people don't forget the real meaning of Christmas. 7 Likes |

What I knw abt christmas is that we are celebrating 2 festivals 2geda... Christ-Mass. The romans chose dec 25 to fall on the day they are celebrating MASS(festival of fire) and that is why u see knockouts and lotta fireworks this period. It is the celebration of christ and mass (christmas). No matter what,my instinct and common sense shows me its not idolatry. Na christ me dey celebrate, no be kumuyi |

This is not about Kumiyi or not. Lets be reasonable if you are a Christian and a bible believer , a doer of word of God u would understand that Christ encouraged us remember only his death not birth. The problem is there are a lot of human and ancient traditions mixed in all these. The only time birthday was mentioned was when Herod was having a banquet for his birthday and we knew what followed that was the beheading of John. Also in proverb or Ecclesiastes it says that the day of death is better than the day of birth. If we claim to love and fear God we won't get ourselves entangled in all these religious rites and celebrations because it was never mentioned in the bible. I have seen churches celebrating Halloween . Could you believe that? So Easter ( not even when Christ was raised ) Good Friday ( not even when he was killed , Christmas, whatever celebration which is not mentioned in the bible I personally believe is men's tradition . It's contrary to Gods word . Millions of Christians are now entangled in these that it is difficult to see that they are all wrong. Devil is deceitful imagine all the evil that happens during Xmas period.people spending the little money they have, killing , stealing etc It is the time for merchants to make money. Lets reason in the light of the word of God. 13 Likes |

Youtube vid please. Yea so many things bout the Christmas celebration suggest idolatery..think bout the red-white ish;santa clause; Christmas tree,which scripture verse instructed us to erect a statue and put stars and make it Adorable in the name of christmas?? Everyone needs to rethink,roman catholic introduced many celebrations,most many churches considered wrong and so dnt celebrate,only Christmas is generally acceptd,but general acceptance by all doesn't justify it. It seems Christmas has no spiritual relevance,even during christmas sexual immorality and oda wickdnes are rampant, hmm. GOD HELP US #NB.. Mind your words, you might be raining curses upon yourself.. Pastor Kumuyi is a servant of God. 7 Likes |

A lot of people don't read b4 making comment. "The earth is the lords and his fullness thereof." Everyday belongs to God. That a land was used by pagans in the past doesn't stop christians from building a church on the same land. There was a time Kumuyi said TV is satanic. They own a TV channel now. 10 Likes |
