chigonye:

First of all u guys must understand there is a difference btwn Christains and Jews! Right now God is no longer dealing with Jews, all He knows & sees now are Christain- You have to get straight!

IGNORANCE is a disease!!

My religion is better than yours

@ comingo
I wonder why you post this topic in the first instance as I can see you are quick to shut down the views of those who do not subscribe to your opinion. The purpose of a forum like this is to allow everybody have their say however unacceptable their views might be instead of trying to whip those with opposing view into line.

@poster
kindly help me to search where it is clearly written in the Bible dat "thou shalt not celebrate thy birthday"
cos i can't find it in mine.

then i wil know dat i av sin against God.

This is the most dumb question and useless reason i have ever heard on Christendom, If ever you are a christain in  the first place,
So,  that people dies of Plane crash makes it evil for christains  to fly, Huh?
Who told you that birthday started from the Pharaoh in the time of Joseph?
Pharaoh is jst a name of the kings in Egypt till date and there have existed many Pharaohs in the land of Egypt even
b4 the Joesph's time in Egypt, Though Bible never gave account of it, but other Pharaohs in the past must have celebrated their birthdays without any blood shed,
So,  that one of the Pharaohs in the history of Egypt hung the chief baker on his birthday or King Herod cutting off the head of John the Baptist does not condemn nor change the purpose of birthday.
Rather bible stated it in the New testament for you not to be carried away by the over merriment on any ceremony not jst birthday,

GUY celebrate and give God thanks.ok?
colossians 2: 16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days

i believe if you really want an anser you would get it with out sentiments BUT if u are out to create agument then, u 're on ur own coz
YOU ARE NOT GOD

also if you are really a christian, then this topic should not bother you but how to make heaven at last
and pLZ beweer of those who twist the bible. it is a sign of the last days.People would worry about things that do not really matter in an attempt to disput Gods word or make christianity look weak or a waist of time.
remember God almighty sees and he will judge  every one.

sometimes I wonder why nairalanders bring up certain topics like this particular one.
@ comingo, i tried to imagine what might be going on in ur mind when you thought up this post. then again, i see some very inrtelligent responses particularly from ndcide.
let each man act according to his convictions .which is a function of your understanding of GOD which in itself is somewhat related to how much of communication and revelation you receive from God.

So people like you can give their comments. Afterall the post was made yesterday and not many responded until now.

God is no longer dealing wit the Jews ?
Devil does rite ?
Wake up man !

@poster, u can now go and teach ur jw brethren what u have learnt here.

Nezan! Strongly Agree

THE BIBLE SAYS TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS THAT WE MAY PUT OUR HEARTS UNTO WISDOM.So ao cld u av ask ds question?wy did u nt ask abt other religions too or is it only xtians that celebrate birthdays?

The poster is probably a Jehovah's witness.
That is their doctrine.
Forgetting the weighty things on the scripures and dwelling on frivolities.
Ndcide already gave 2 relevant scriptures .

colossians 2: 16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days

The Bible never taught us how to conduct a wedding?
whether to wear a white gown or not?
naming ceremony
how to make amala.

The mark of false doctrine is picking up one verse of scripture and making an epistle out of it neglecting every other scripture.

Finally the other scripture caps it all and also is an answer to those who insist on keeping the sabaath day.
God is not concerned about such trivialities,he is interested in the condition of your heart.

Our God already knew some will want to make a mountain out of a molehill and he gave an answer by the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul.
If you celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries,you are not in error and if you choose not to,you are not in error either.
Let him who hath an ear hear.

Simply Put, The Poster is a JEHOVAH'S witness. They have their own bible, they drink alcohol like fishes drink water, they believe in herbs and possibly "juju" and i am sorry to chip this in, their young females are promiscous!You dont preach against all these but you hold on to not celebrating bdays, not marking christmas and not giving nor receiving blood from transfusion.

You guys think!!!

Lmao see how truth turn them to =

There is something about the reply to this topic, my Nairaland brothers and sisters. I notice that most of us are so used to the birthday stuff even from our childhood that a mention of it as being a pagan celebration ignite almost fight. My suggestion is to be calm and notice something about the celebration quoted in the Bible. N[b]O WORSHIPER OF THE TRUE GOD CELEBRATED THEIR BIRTHDAY[/b], prove me wrong if any. ALL THOSE THAT THE BIBLE MENTIONED WERE PAGAN WORSHIPERS NOT HIS SERVANTS. WE HAVE SO MANY WEALTH PEOPLE AND POOR PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE THAT WORSHIPED GOD BUT DONE DID IT. FROM KING DAVID, HIS SON (THE RICHEST MAN ON EARTH) SOLOMON AND LEARNED MEN LIKE PAUL AND DOCTOR MARK, EVEN OUR GREATEST MAN JESUS DID NOT DO IT BUT THEY HAD SO MANY OTHER CELEBRATIONS AND PARTIES THE BIBLE RECORD THEM. THINK WILL YOU JOIN IN PERFORMING A CELEBRATION THAT WAS DONE ONLY MY PAGANS? I KNOW WE ARE LIVING IN A LIBERAL WORLD BUT THE WAY WE LIVE OUR LIFE COUNT IN GOD'S SIGHT.

None drank fanta,wore a white gown at their wedding and none jumped on an okada
None of them took their wives to a maternity and none drank pure water.

What does food and merryment gotta do with the bible. Why birthday, why christmas ? The Op explained it was an innovation of the pagan to please their god

this argument is beyond you dear.

Hey ! Birthday is an innovation of the pagan and you attribute it to jesus i.e christmas. Fear God and fear death. Wallayi you will account every deed you did. Did jesus told you to dance or clap in church or did he do it ? Fear God my fellow christians

If  every celebration that David, Solomon or Paul did was written in the Bible,how big will it be?
Did you bother reading the scripture about reverencing and not reverencing days that I and another poster posted or that passage is not in your JW Bible?
See it again and may the Lord teach you,the letter kills,the Spirit gives life.
Desire the gift of the Spirit my dear.Eating meat or abstaining from meat will not save you.

THE ISSUE IS NOT A FRIVOLOUS ONE AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT. WHAT YOU LIST ARE JUST MODERN DAY ACTIVITIES. BIRTHDAY IS NOT A MODERN DAY CELEBRATION. GOD IS MUCH CONCERN ABOUT ORIGIN OF CELEBRATIONS.

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE; ON LEAVING EGYPT THE FIRST IDOLATRY THE ISRAELITE PERFORM WAS CALF WORSHIP -EX32:1-8, 18,19, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT  THIS WORSHIP THAT YOU CAN BORROW TO HELP YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THE ROOT OF A CELEBRATION. AT EX 32:5, AARON CALLED THE ISRAELITE THAT THERE IS A "FESTIVAL TO THE LORD". GIVING CALF WORSHIP A NEW NAME, "FESTIVAL OF THE LORD OR TO THE LORD". BUT GOD WAS STILL ANGRY WITH THEM. SO THAT IS HOW SERIOUS GOD TAKES CELEBRATION THAT HAS PAGAN ORIGIN. BIRTHDAY OR ANY OTHER EVEN IF YOU CHANGE THE NAME OF MODERNIZE IT THE PAGAN ROOT IS STILL THERE.

If you do not want to celebrate your birthday, you have every right not to, but do not hinder others. In fact roll yourself in charcoal to remove all traces of merriment and mourn all day long.

Pele, our God said we can call him Father. A lot of psalms talk about praising God with our voices, hands, feet and instruments. If you cannot dance to your God, who does Abuzola dance to? Or Abuzola doesn't dance at all?
