Sunnycliff:Hope your church doesn't celebrate new year because it equally has no scriptural injunction or biblical basis |

Hairyrapunzel: Who ever in the world not only in Nigeria chooses any date of his or her choice to celebrate as birthday is not normal, is it by force to celebrate birthdays, is it even rooted in any religion, must one celebrate stupid birthday? And you just said they don't know their birthday, but can you give and example of any one who knew his or her and changes it, pls?

mgbadadike:Have you inquired about how 25th was chosen. Nobody says we should not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, should it be a once in a year event, shouldnt we celebrate him everyday for what His coming has guaranteed us-salvation. Did He place much emphasis on His birth? He would have said "Do this in remembrance of my birth" but He only said it during the passover( Communion) signifying His death. In essence 25th Dec has a pagan root. Originally this day was slated for worship of one of the gods, but when paganism became unpopular ,but in order to retain the popular day in the calendar, it was then designated to become a celebration for the birth of Jesus Christ. #Emperor Constantine 1 Like |

Hairyrapunzel: oh. do you think you know more than Jesus who gives us both specific and general instructions. I will not rather assume that he will be happy if I decide to do thing he does not command because I feel it is good. you cannot know more than your master. |

Hairyrapunzel:just say you need a reason to merry, and stop pretending it's actually about Jesus. Jesus lived 33 full years and some months. He had 33 opportunities to celebrate his birthday. Did he celebrate any? If not, why not? You think birth day celebrations didn't exist then? Or you think the Bible writers remembered to write about another person's wedding (at Cana) but forgot to mention even one of Jesus' birthday celebrations? If Christmas was truly about Jesus, how come we have pagan stuff like Christmas trees, or magical characters like Santa Claus (as the official face of Christmas). Christianizing it (from birthday of the Sun god to that of the son of God) is about the same as when those Israelites made a golden calf and then declared that they would celebrate a festival to God (Yahweh/Jehovah). God was not deceived by the naming. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

jcross19:Aint u bothered that the bible u so proudly but ignorantly quote was put together by the catholic church you love to hate? Tell me in the gospel where Jesus asked any of his disciple to put down an account of his life...The only instruction Christ gave was that his disciples should go and teach all nations and not go write stories of his life which in the next 300 years will require a council of the Catholic church to decide and affirm. Pope St. Damasus approved of the canons of the new testament as we have it now. If the catholic church relied so much on the power Christ gave her in Matt. 16:13-18; 18:18, to decide the books of the scriptures and subsequently naming those coedified books the Bible, and u accept such bible, then why r u hypocritical about Sunday worship, Easter feast, etc set by the church? Lest i forget do away with days of d weeks cos they are named after pagan gods. To you now all those evil forests and land dedicated to idols and later re-dedicated to God and churches set up on those lands should be destroyed cos they standing on land previously used by idols...? 2 Likes 1 Share |

I just realized something with Christians following this thread, if Christmas is taken away from the religion majority would seize to be Christians, no wonder it was invented into the religion to attract followers... |

why Bible Should not serve as a guides to Christianity that is the issue here and nothing else. when Bible says we should love our neighbours as ourself, we shun that and introduced an act of wastage by lighting our street with stupid light while people are dying of hunger. Abeggggg, let's truth be told for once!!! |

Sabby1: Christmas is of a dirty origin its not scriptural grounded but you don't care you celebrate so far you have a good intentions carry on. Christmas is like picking a sweet candy from the gutter the celebration is sweet but the origin is dirty. truly i say to you nobody drinks from a toilet no matter how clean it looks, it is contaminated.

Bahddo: Last last you still can't show us bible verse condemning celebrating jesus birthday. Why won't I be merry? Yes Christmas to Christians is about Jesus christ. See someone that doesn't believe in magical stuff? You that you believe that your all loving sky daddy is coming to destroy/kill/murder/slaughter wicked/worldly people because they refused to join your religion and worship God through your gb so you guys can inherit earth. Is there any magical thinking greater than this? Merry Christmas. 1 Like |

Coquinoqui: But you cut wedding cakes huh? Do you know the origin of wedding cakes? Wikipedia and encyclopedia is your friend. Stop being a hypocrite. Even the bridesmaids you use in your weddings are of pagan origin. You know how to tell people to research. Now, go do the same. You pharisee. The log in your eyes is waiting to be removed. |
