Paxchal: you didn't answer me o. When the angels and Shepherd celebrated the birth of christ were they doing pagan things? If God was against celebrating Christ birth why would his Angels do it? And who told you it was birthday they celebrated? was Christ yet 1yr old when they visited him? didnt you see the records of birthday events both in the OT and NT? are you saying God forgot to include Christ own? and how many yrs old are you celebrating today? 3 Likes |

And to those saying that angels celebrated Jesus' birthday, you should know that there was nothing to celebrate at all. They already knew Jesus was coming to earth to reunite us with His Father, heck, they already knew Him in heaven, why would they celebrate His incarnation as a man. They were celebrating because of the salvation of men. Luke 2:10-14They were celebrating because God had sent His Son to save us and reunite us with His Father. 1 Like |

alexleo: The birth of christ and his death are the same. It was his death for our redemption that brought about his birth. if they are the same, why did christ remember and commanded that his death be comomerated but forgot his birth? You have been deceived by a certain pope. Retraced your steps while there is still time. Peace. 3 Likes |

Zikkyy: Here you come again, Do you think God does not want those who serve Him to recognize these most important birthdays? Only the Scripture results for the birth dates of some of God’s greatest servants. Abraham: Referred to three times in the Bible as God’s “friend” 2 Chronicles 20:7 Are not you our God, who did drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham your friend forever? The bible does not record the birth date of this truly great servant of God. Moses: Referred to as the meekest man on the face of the earth; Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.) The Scripture does not tell us when he was born either. King David: Called “a man after [God’s] own heart (Acts 13:21-22) You can see there is not one verse of Scripture describing anyone celebrating the births of these righteous men which we claim to be following thier steps. In fact, the Bible is silent on the exact dates of the births of all God’s faithful servants. Jacob, Sarah, Noah, Abel, Samuel, Job, Esther, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Peter, Paul, James (Christ’s brother), and the rest of the apostles. Even the birth date of Jesus Christ goes unrecorded in the Bible! Until A Pope took the authority to invent 25th which you people embrassed. Not willing to follow the Examples of the above names.

Did the angels commemorate it??................the angels were happy that the means through which God would save mankind has been sent to the earth.....you think the angels were dancing azonto exchanging gifts in heaven because Jesus was born??......you think after that day Jesus was born d angels commemorated Jesus' birthday year in year out??............ _____________________________ All Jews back then were happy that the long promised messiah had been born,but commemorating the birthday of the meSsiah was never part of there agenda ...........never!!!!!........the idea of memorializing the birthday of Jesus stemmed from professed christians who did not want to abandon paganism completely.......... 2 Likes |

alexleo: Blind argument. If Jesus wasnt born would he have died? And if not for his death whats the need of him being born? the bible says, better is the day of ones death than the day of ones birth. The truth remains that there is no example of any of all faithful servant of God celebrating birthday. But there are examples of satan wordhipers celebrating birthdays. Whose example are you following = satan wordhipers examples. "the things written afore times were written for our own instructions" the bible says. Stop being emotional and face the facts. You are following an example set by wordhipers of satan. You are not following an example of any servant of Yahweh on this. You are on your own. Like Ijawkid said, if the jews that became christians had to abandon the things of the law covanant, how much more the things of pegan satan wordhipers. Stop celebrating birthdays, as a christian you have no example to that end except that set by satan's wordhipers. Peace. 2 Likes |

It would have definately included Christ's birthday, like it was recorded for HEROD AND PHEROAH! |

The angels celebrated the birth of christ and if you are talking about how people celebrate it in our time thats a different issue. But condemning the whole idea of celebrating the birth of christ is where i disagree with you. There is nothing wrong in having a family worship or going to church service or giving gifts on this day to celebrate that once upon a time in bethlehem Jesus was born. Am not even arguing that 25th december is the exact date. I just see it as a day we remember the birth of Jesus. I dont even care about the name christmas or xmas (as some of you call it). I only care about the birth of Jesus that is being celebrated. ijawkid: |

My bro the basis for celebrating xmas is a shaky one.......no reason whatso ever can make xmas plausible as far as the scriptures are concerned..........you can always have good times as a family,but let it not be because of xmas.......... What should matter to us as christians is Christs sacrificial death......nothing more nothing less....... 2 Likes |

honeric01: May God have mercy, paganic activities don too full Christianity, how person wan take sabi road so na? Study any reputable encyclopedia or visit a well stocked public library and you will discover tht Christmas was celebrated by immoral, pagan idol worshippers. People who many times sacrificed their children to pagan gods 2,000 years before Christ was born! December 25th originally marked the time of the winter solstice. These idol worshippers held pagan festivals to celebrate the “rebirth” of the sun when the days began to lengthen. None of these christians that celebrate Christmas were able to rightfully answer the question i asked in the thread. Its so obvious, they have no biblical backing this old feast. |

Scripture explains the day of a man’s death is better than the day of his birth. Jeremiah cursed the day of his own birth: Jer 20:14 Cursed be the day on which I was born: let not the day on which my mother bore me be blessed. 18 Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow and to end my days in shame? Bithday is very important yet Solomon was inspired to write:(Ecc. 7:1) “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth” Job didn't stop cursing the day He was born, you can read the whole of chapter 3: Job 3: 1After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2He said: 3“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is born!’ 4That day—may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it. If the day of our death is better than the day of our birth, and some of God’s greatest servants/prophets said that their birth date was far from being a special day, then how special can this day be? According to Scripture, it is not a time to express joy, sing and expect gifts, simply becaus one is born into the world on a specific date! |

truthislight: Am not following any pagan command. Am just celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. To you its a pagan command and to me its not. Yes we are to follow the law of christ and there is no place that christ said we shouldnt celebrate his birth either. What the angels did when Jesus was born is what we are doing. |
