We are approaching december 25th, and a lot of debate(s) would be flying around on why christians shouldn't celebrate christmas because it isn't biblical and that date was/is being used to celebrate pagan deity.

The argument is mostly coming from; atheist- Using it make Christians see that they ain't obeying their scriptures, and would end up in hell fire- if their fairy tale biblical account were to be true.

Muslim- to show christians how they're contradicting their holy scriptures using self-appraisal- they know bible more than them(us).

Jehovah witness- to show that they are the best christians.....and some christian faith that don't share Catholic view about december 25th being the birth of our lord Jesus Christ.

But, they are all wrong.
They would resort in asking us to provide a biblical proof to support it, making us to know it's a day for the worshiping the roman gods.

My question is; Does it mean that Satan or whatever god, specially owns that date and we shouldn't use it. We are to avoid any day/date, huh? Atleast, he(God/Jesus) made all things by himself and gave us command over it. I don't see why it should cause a fuss.

This verse would be of help when someone throws the question towards you.
I'm just using thir avenue to help some ignorant Christians who find it hard defending their faith.

JEREMIAH 52:31-33[
31. Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of jehoiachin king of judah, in the twelfth month, on the twelfth-fifth day of the month that Evil-merodach king of babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of jehoiachin king of judah and brought him out of prison.
32. And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in babylon.
33. So jehoiachin changed from his prison garments and he ate bread regulary before the king all the days of his life

The above^^^, is a biblical proof of how December 25th was used to celebrate the victory of King jehoiachin after his release from the prison.

What does it symbolise?

Answer- 25th of December should be used to celebrate the birth of "king of the universe"- Yes! Jesus is our saviour.

Celebrate your Christmas and don't forget to devour all the fowls in your neighbourhood.

Lol. Was all their activities mentioned?

You mean if I decide to wake up tomorrow and start using a particular date/month to celebrate anything for Jesus, it would be a sin because apostles didn't do it.

By the way, I'm a Catholic not a protestant--I don't believe in Sola biblica/scriptural.
-2 Thess2:15;, Paul told us to hold steadsfast to our oral tradition taught to us from mouth to mouth.

Do Christians base their beliefs in the Bible or on traditional reasoning?

This is why I keep saying Catholicism is a religion on it's own.

biblical evidence prove as God send the angels to announce the birth of jesus ,there was great joy in heaven,they celebrate birth of jesus;

Luke2:13-14 '' Suddenly a great company of the
heavenly host
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor
rests.”

Christmas is nothing but a pagan rite brought to the christians by the heretic doctrines of the roman catholic church which was ordained by a set of wicked men of the church of ephesus in A.D 439. Christmas has no root in the bible but rather promotes violence worldliness and immorality as this supposed Christ birthday is celebrated by sinners that dont know the definition of salvation from sin

when you say God way of celebration,you don't expect the bible to say the angels were eating and drinking, praising God is another way of celebration.

Romans 14:5-6
5 One person considers one day more sacred than
another; another considers every day alike. Each of
them should be fully convinced in their own mind.6
Whoever regards one day as special does so to the
Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for
they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does
so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

What this verse is saying is that;if you chose a day for celebration or worship God,you do it for God and that day is holy,if you eat meat or the jollof rice( as you called it) as long as you eat it because you are happy for the Lord doing,then it not wrong.

Jesus birth wasn't specified.

December25th was chosen; To outweigh the pagan deity celebration which was gaining stand.
