Nairaland Comments Appear On PUNCH by Noneroone(m): 10:40am On Dec 24, 2013 |
Is Christmas idolatrous? DECEMBER 24, 2013 BY AGENCY REPORTER Leave a Comment The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor W.F Kumuyi, has described the annual celebration of Christmas as idolatrous and unscriptural. Comments: (nairaland.com) Ochallo: Nigerian Christianity is really turning into something else; we act as if Nigerians are the ones who are going to be in heaven alone. Yes we don’t know exactly when Jesus was born, but Christmas remains the greatest celebration of 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. Obeski13: Everybody is entitled to what he or she believes. As far as I’m concerned, nothing is idolatrous about Christmas. The essence of it is to appreciate Jesus as the Messiah. Although the day he was born was not important, what is being celebrated is not the day per se; it is the role he has played and still plays in the lives of all men. Danhumprey: It’s a pagan tradition, no doubt. For one, we don’t know exactly when Jesus Christ was born. We only give speculation about the day we think he was born, which may not be true. It shouldn’t be about celebrating December 25, rather it should be about celebrating Jesus. |

There is a column on the punch newspaper 'what the social media say'. There you see some comments from nairaland, twitter and punchonline published. I've once seen my comment published. |

I was actually hoping to see if there's going to be any of these "end times things" comments or "FTC". You know since its Nairaland. |
