Christmas celebrations is predicated on the need to set aside a day to praise God for sending the most precious gift in heaven to earth to die for us mankind.

Now the argument about December 25th is irrelevant in that Christian choose a particular day to praise God who owns all days. Now, if you have a car and it was stolen at a point but thankfully you are able to find the car, will you still continue to call your car the thief 's car?
Similarly, the Christians chose a day and it does not matter what some people use to worship on that day before Christmas celebrations started, the question is are Christians worshipping those idols or God?
The second explanation is Sunday, the Lord's day use to be the first day of the week, but christians now worship God on the Lords day, which in Sunday and not the Sabbath day(Saturday)

It's been more than 2000 years since he was born, we should be more concerned about His second coming! This is very paramount. He said "pray that you may be counted worthy to stand in the presence of him when he comes the second time"

Christ himself is celebrating all humans. It's his birthday and it's our day of redemption. Whether anyone chooses not to celebrate it does not matter. Christ has decorated it for all of us. Let's just merry with him.

Any adventist in the house who can explain the following to me:

1. annihilationist view of hell,
2. the investigative judgment.

Why is the 7th Day Adventist bent on these two doctrines? If possible, kindly send me a PM and I will return the email. Doctrine is what is killing christianity in my view. The question I always ask myself is: does Jesus care about doctrines while he was on earth? This subject is new research interest.

Is there going to be denomination in heaven? Is it compulsory for to be in a denomination on earth? It is getting to a point where when emphasis is laid on ones denomnation as the only way....then, i start looking at it as a sect. Where does the body of christ come in here? Where does Jesus being the head come in here? I will appreciate a decent talk from any Adventist.

Please, send me PM, and check your email today. As im going to be away again after today.

Merry Christmas!

Lol! I feel they are highly delusional and paronoid. True that his birth isn't as significant as his death but then even wise men travelled donkey distances just to honour his birth. Surely that ought to mean something
Are you that pained because they don't celebrate Chrisimisi?

If Jesus was not born on this day why claiming it, and why not use his actual birth date if you people should be truthful or can anyone Christian tell me one person in the world who ever change his birthday and celebrate it on another day just for fun, can you regard that person mentally sound in the first place? Ask questions about the religion you follow, ask your clerics if they really know what they are doing as they so claimed.
Use logic for now, who and do they arrived at the 25 December in particular and not any other date at least in the same October, his birth month, or could it just be by accident?
Yet some people are saying nothing is wrong with that, and none of you would ever change their birthday or celebrate it on a later day for no reason. DON'T BE A RIDE ALONG BELIEVER, BELIEVE WITH CERTAINTY IFYOU SHOULD BE TRUTHFUL TO YOUR OWN SELVES...

Millions of nigerians don't know their actual birthday. They adopt birthdays and celebrate on those days. Your argument is dead on arrival.

Jesus Christ wasn't born on the 25th of December, but 25th December was chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So what's wrong with it?
Chosen by who?
Man of course!

You have admitted that the festival is absolutely devoid of any devine or sacred origin.

But can I shock you a bit?
Jesus Christ is not coming anytime "soon". There are some events that would occur before his second coming which have not happened...

Worshipping on Sunday has no scriptural injunction either... There is no crime and choosing a day as a consensus to celebrate the birth of Jesus!

We worship on Sunday because it is the day our Lord Jesus Christ broke the bounds of death and resurrected. His resurrection is the reason we have power over all religions and can conquer sin nd the devil.

His resurrection is of more significance than hi birth
can you prove that it was on a sunday that Christ resurrected?
hypocrites everywhere. abeg where is my chicken?

They don't celebrate Christmas



But they INDIRECTLY enjoy the dividends attached to the celebration


Story that touches the heart & tickles the bumbum
which dividends? The inflated prices during that period? Increased crime? Terrible vehicular and pedestrian traffic congestion in the days leading to the holidays?

Did the bible approves new year celebration ? All these churches with their doctrines are turning many Christians to atheist.

It is the birthday of zeus a roman god who was sent to save the world. Jesus was not born on Christmas day. he was not born in the winter. Someone could have picked another day to honor him as his real birthday is not known instead they took a day to honor a Pagan. Do the math
oga Zeus is not a roman god, it is a Greek god. Get ur facts right b4 posting it in a public forum and stop embarrassing urself b4 thousands of ppl

The early morning of the first day of the week is what?

Depends.

Besides, if He spent three days and three nights, then He couldn't have died on Friday and Resurrected on Sunday.


He either died Thursday and resurrected early Sunday morning or died Friday and resurrected early Monday morning.

I am not bothered either ways.

All I am celebrating is the remembrance and meaning of His resurrection.
