On the argument that Christmas is a Pagan feast

Another Christmas, and the recycled argument continues on how 25th December is a pagan feast, and how Christ was not born on the 25th.

Some things don’t go well with me, arguments like this that don’t make any logical sense.

Let us agree that Jesus was not born on the 25th, can you kindly suggest to us a new date? And since you know he was not born on the 25th, it therefore means you know or have an idea of the date he was born. Tell us then.

I heard this same argument for Sunday. They said Sunday is a day of worship of the pagan Sun-god and that the meaning of Sunday came from the Sun-god.

I remembered sharing a detailed teaching and telling those propagating that message the reason for Sunday, being that it was the first day of the week, and Christ rose that day and started appearing to his disciples every first day of the week as they gathered behind closed doors in prayers.

I think I should not have wasted my time in doing that, what I should have done would have been to simply remind them that the days of the week as we have them today were all adopted. They are all pagan.

Monday is named after the god of the moon. Thursday is for the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Friday is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn.

There is this impression from some of you that once anything has a pagan origin it is evil and it is impossible for it to be 'Christianized.'

Well, unfortunately, many things came from the pagans, including the papyrus that was used to write the bible in those days. The tradition of offering visitors kolanut in Igbo culture is largely pagan. Even Baptism as we know it today as the pouring of water or immersion in rivers did not start with Christians. Eating pork is pagan. New yam festival is pagan. Ojuju Calabar is pagan.

What some of you fail to see is that the Christian faith must be planted in a culture for it to take root. Even St Paul while preaching to the Areopagus in Act 17:16-34 had to use what the Athens have as an altar to the "unknown god", to plant the message of the living and known God into them.

Once the Christian faith is planted in any culture, it uproots the bad in it and retains the good. This is why once you mention "Sunday" we think about the day of worship in church and not sun-god. This is why 25th December may not be the day Christ was born in your calculation, but it has taken a Christian dimension pushing aside whatever it was known with before. This is why the cross, which was pagan, and seen as a symbol of shame, has now taken a total different meaning the moment Christ was crucified on it.

The pagan cross moved from shame to fame, from gory to glory (let me be looking for rhyme words like a motivational speaker since na watin una wan hear. Nobody should stress me biko.)

From Fr. Kelvin Ugwu

Justnation:


Don't be confused here, Jesus Christ left his throne in heaven and took the form of a man to be born of a woman in other to offer himself as a perfect sacrifice to save mankind from eternal condemnation due to the sin of Adam and Eve which they committed as a human being.

Before the coming of Jesus Christ, man offered animals as sacrifice to appease God for their sins. These sacrifices were imperfect and could not obtain perfect atonement for sins because they were not perfect.

Jesus came as the perfect sacrifice for atonement without blemish, and he reconciled Man to God eternally, hence whosoever believe and accept him as Lord and Savior will be saved and escape eternal condemnation, BUT WILL RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE.

DO YOU BELIEVE, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE HIM YOUR SAVIOR?
PLEASE ACCEPT HIM NOW.

What Hyperbole you liar.

The quran must be a lie when it calls Jesus Holy and faultless if he was unclean.

Satan is One so what difference does it make when you claim your shin god is one.

DavidEsq:

Hm. The scriptures agree with u on this. It says at Proverbs 12;15-16:
The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, But the wise one accepts advice. A fool immediately shows his annoyance, But the shrewd man overlooks an insult.
Flaggerbasting right?

Your ignorance. Your problem.

John360comng:


You are delusional and acting like you are reading another thing. Everyone reading what you wrote is laughing right now at how silly and confused you are and that is because you are a pathetic liar who has been disrespecting and mocking the Christian God who is more perfect than yours eventhough you don't know how terrible your allah has been described by your Muhammad. Every muslim who knows this knows well not to go about disrespecting the Jesus of the Christians knowing how awful theirs has been described of which I have not even touched the barest minimum of this description from your sources.

Where did i write that the quran is written by a tree?!! You Abdul worship of a shin object. You wanna get petty, right?!

Of all the various points i have painted out from your books which you have suddenly gone blind to see and have not responded even one of them. All you were able to misread was "quran was written by a tree". You deceiving zamzam drunk when all that I was making clear is that the quran is said to be an uncreated speech of allah which became a book and books especially in the old days were made from wood(trees) i.e allah is a tree since the quran which is the uncreated speech of allah can never be said to be distance from allah as that is a part of allah and you dare mock the Christians whose God became a perfect sinless man which makes more sense than your allah that became a kitab(book) made from tree(wood).

Also, your allah while you endlessly mock the Christians whose God is more perfect than yours is said to be created from the sweat of houses in another confusing islamic source. Also, your allah was seen in form by Muhammad meaning your god, allah has a somewhat human form with human body parts description while you delude yourself thinking that you mock the Christians God which makes more sense as their God who is Invisible Spirit became a perfect man attested by your own islamic sources as been without a fault, holy and a creator and currently forever living with your allah.

Narrated AbdurRahman ibn A’ish
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: I saw my Lord, the Exalted and Glorious in the most beautiful form. He said: What do the Angels in the presence of Allah contend about? I said: Thou art the most aware of it. He then placed HIS PALM between my shoulders and I felt its coldness in my chest and I came to know what was in the Heavens and the Earth. He recited: ‘Thus did we show Ibrahim the kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth and it was so that he might have certainty.’(6:75)
Darimi reported it in a mursal form and Tirmidhi also reported. (Tirmidhi Hadith, Number 237; ALIM CD-ROM Version)

Emu4life:


So the Pastors dying rejected Jesus? And if this is true, the World is supposed to be filled of only Christians by now.
There's a problem somewhere. It's either the verse is wrong or your interpretation of the verse is wrong.

There you have it

That was many years ago

Aemmyjah:


Someone was asking a simple question to another person to draw him to a leading conclusion
Another person from nowhere mentions something like his father's village

The whole of Nairaland knows who is the fool if the fool does not know himself

You can dance naked in the market square on the 25th December of every year, this isn’t my problem!

A fool is one who pokes nose at what does not concern him or speaks when nothing is directed to him
Quoting the book of wisdom to justify his foolishness

DavidEsq:

Looks like u were looking in the mirror when u typed this comment

Aemmyjah:


One who does not regard his parent is not slow to disregard someone's parent
Exactly what you've done
Nothing will make me say anything against yours
I honor mine and honor others
Go and study the Bible amd learn hiw to honor your father

DavidEsq:
