Do the Jews believe Jesus is the son of God?

No. So that makes them Antichrist. Why do you think they killed Jesus Christ?

1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son


Jesus is the son of God in one line

Jesus is God in another line.

You guys are the most confused set of people on earth

Where in the Bible does it say this?

Genesis chapter1: 14 - 18

14Then God commanded, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals+ begin; 15they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth” — and it was done. 16So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night; he also made the stars. 17He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth, 18to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw.

Op please, how come christian dismiss the old testament when it suits them?
The old testament says the christ will be a warrior king but was jesus a warrior king?

Have you heard of Titus Flavia? If not do your research.
Messiah/saviour was meant to liberate the jews not nigerians.
Messianic gospel is political hence judas's betrayal if we take the bible to be real life accounts.
The Bible does not relate to us even though we can be guided by it.

Xmas is paganism.

@alBHAGDADI,
Let me just quickly give you these references to to research on about Birthday celebrations:
1. The History of the Christian Religion and Church, During the Three First Centuries (New York, 1848), Augustus Neander (translated by Henry John Rose), p. 190. It says in part: "The notion of birthday festival was far from the ideas of the Christians of this period in general."

2. The Imperial Bible Dictionary (London, 1874), edited by Patrick Fairbairn, Volume 1, p. 225. It says: " The later Hebrews looked on the celebration of birthdays as a part of idolatrous worship, a view which would be abundantly confirmed by what they saw of the common observances associated with these days."

3. Schwabische Zeitung ( magazine supplement Zeit und Welt), April 3/4, 1981, p.4. It says: "The various customs with which people today celebrate their birthdays have a long history. Their origins lie in the realm of magic and religion. The customs of offering congratulations, presenting gifts and celebrating-complete with lighted candles- in ancient times were meant to protect the celebrant from demons and to ensure his security for the coming year............ Down to the fourth century Christianity rejected the birthday celebration as a pagan custom"

4. The Lore of Birthdays (New York, 1952), Ralph and Adekin Linton, pp. 8, 18-20. It says: "The Greeks believed that everyone had a protective spirit or daemon who attended his birth and watched over him in life. This spirit had a mystic relation with the god on whose birthday the individual was born. The Romans also subscribed to this idea....... This notion was carried down in human belief and is reflected in the guardian angel, the fairy godmother and the patron saint...... The custom of lighted candles on the cakes started with the Greeks....... Honey cakes round as the moon and lit with tapers were placed on the temple altars of Artemis...... Birthday candles, in folk belief, are endowed with special magic for granting wishes..... Birthday greetings and wishes for happiness are intrinsic part of this holiday........ Originally the idea was rooted in magic.........."

This is just to help you and other sincere ones realise that Birthday celebrations have paganic origin. So why attach something paganic to our Savior, Jesus Christ?

Your sallah food which you offered to your idol stationed in the Kaaba in Mecca is nothing but food to us because your idol is nothing.

1 Corinthians 8:4
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol isnothing in the world, and that there isnone other God but one.

What is the origin of Christmas that you keep talking of?

Is it the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the calling of his name, the sharing of gifts, the reading of scriptures, the singing of Christmas songs or what?

Are those things originated from paganism?

If you were born on the same day a pagan god was born, does that mean it is the pagan god you are celebrating when you celebrate your Birthday?

Lol, Muslims kill ram to honour Abraham’s willingness to slay his son Ishmael at Allah’s request, a supreme act of faith. But according to bigots like you is a sacrifice to an idol and the food shouldn't be eaten.

Allah is a false god and not the name of the God Abraham obeyed when he wanted to sacrifice Isaac. The name of the God is Jehovah.

You can't even read to save your life. Worse is that you are discouraging others from reading the OP. Please go to Instablog and enjoy yourself there.

Why should anyone read the jargons you wrote above when It's obvious your aim of writing it was to beg for xmas gifts. Christians see Jesus as a Lord and perfect example worthy of emulation and there is no proof from wherever that Jesus celebrated Xmas so why should we celebrate it?
