Why Do We Say/write XMAS Instead Of Christmas by makazona(m): 10:16am On Dec 22, 2014
We all celebrate the 25th of every december as the birth of our Lord,Jesus Christ (though some christians do not believe in this).the main reason for the celebration is CHRIST ie christ + mass.

why then do we christians remove the christ and replaced it with an ordinary alphabet,X?

why?

The idea of Christmas is a fraud. Introduced by Pagan, propagated by the Catholics and likes. So there is nothing to respect.

I dont. How do you expect me to celebrate a pagan festivity?

Christmas celebration is uncalled for. There are evident proofs that Jesus wasnt born on December 25th. The idea of December 25th is the apotheosis of perfidy.

lemme assume that Christ wasn't born On 25th december. you see, I av a frnd, he Was born On easter Sunday. so he decided to celebrate his birthday every easter Sundays and not d date of his birth. whats d sin in it?

btw, didn't Jesus say to his apostles. "whatever you bind On earth remains bound in heaven and whatever you loose On earth is loosed in heaven? Hence, d apostles I.e, the authorities of d church has decided to celebrate Christ's birth On 25th dec, who are you to object?

1. The Bible does not give the date of Jesus’ birth, nor does it say that we should celebrate his birthday.
"The observance of Christmas is not of divine appointment, nor is it of NT [New Testament] origin."”. Instead, an examination of the history of Christmas exposes its roots in pagan religious rites. The Bible shows that we offend God if we try to worship him in a way that he does not approve of.—Exodus 32:5-7

It is a historical fact that Christmas is not the day or the season when Christ was born. So why observe a day that is a lie? Most people do not want to admit this fact. For example, how does the use of Santa Claus depict the birth of Christ? How does the Christmas tree depict Christ? Celebrating Christmas violates at least the First, Second and Third Commandments of God's Ten Commandments. Observing a pagan holiday is a sin. God condemns the worship of pagan gods.

The Bible does not command people to observe the birth of Christ as a holiday. This day, Dec. 25, is the date that has been observed for centuries as a pagan holiday in honor of the pagan sun god. God commands those who want to serve Him not to observe pagan holidays or any custom that breaks His holy laws.


btw, didn't Jesus say to his apostles. "whatever you bind On earth remains bound in heaven and whatever you loose On earth is loosed in heaven? Hence, d apostles I.e, the authorities of d church has decided to celebrate Christ's birth On 25th dec, who are you to object?

Which Apostles are you talking off? Paul? , Silas ? etc? OR you mean the church leaders?

Actually, only ignorant Christians say xmas like i have also done in the past.

The agenda to replace Christmas with xmas, Jesus with Santa clause, Christain marriage with civil unions and the message of Easter with Easter bunnies is the plan of Satanists, atheists and their cohorts. .. And they will fail.
