Though, Jesus may not be born on December 25th, we christian choose that date in order to celebrate the birth and coming of the saviour to earth...

Ds nation NIGERIA is an interestin country! everytin is about politics, even in d CHURCH. I pray dat GOD wil nt judge d christians of NIGERIA accordin to our sins.

Meeehn...this thread chop hidden posts die...me sef dey observe

I know sey na dis kind thread Pagan9ja dey lyk....bombos.

sureteeboy: But Pastor Kumuyi was adressing the congregation, not the catholics, He never said this to a media website. He simply said this to the church members. so, why are the catholics replying.

As in eeh, me I tire oo

ignis: Though, Jesus may not be born on December 25th, we christian choose that date in order to celebrate the birth and coming of the saviour to earth...

I dont know why that is so hard for a pastor/graduate to understand.

Nobody is saying Christ was born on december 25.

We just picked a popular holiday to honor/celebrate him.

Nawa for some people sha...

Btruth: As for me & my household, we celebrate Christ birth (Xmas), as much as we celebrate his death & resurrection (Ester).

Infact, I celebrate Christ Jesus everyday. If Pastor Kumuyi & his followers does not celebrate him, that is their own palaver.

Merry Xmas nairalanders!

I have noticed people just comment based on other peoples comment. The message is sum le...we out to celeberate the birth of jesus everyday amd not just xmas day. What exactly do u do on exmas day. Eat, drink and get drunk, go to elegushi, dance to satanic music...alot of people kill rob for this cursed day 25th of dec. Is this ow to celeberate the so called xmas.

shut up, he called on fellow christains to ignore the celebration...
go and read the stuff again...

princesammmy:

It was not even a letter but he was talking to his congregation, which I see no reason for them to reply

That's my exact thought...
I think catholics are just seeking for attention...

hotwax:

WHy cant he face his church and leave catholic out of it? Must he attacked anybody. If he is allergic to xmas, not all his congregation hate xmas.

I have many deeper life friends that are crazy for xmas.

He never dragged Catholib into it. so, why did you say he should leave them out of this? My brother, the world is changing. xmas isnt what it used to be again. Imagine a gospel singer saying, happy sexmas. Imagine the Bervely Osu xmas card with a naked pic on it. All these are far from what xmas signifies. The world has crept quietly into the church and sin is no longer regarded to as sin. May God help us all.

The message was simple. We dont need a date..we ought to celeberate he birth of christ everydays of ur life? How many cartons of beer do plan to drink tmr....? Thats ow ubceleberate the birth of ur saviour

When Kumuyi started, TV was not allowed, today where are we? Seems the word of God has adjusted a bit.
Then, his daughter's sleeveless wedding gown compared to the Amish inspired gowns worn by brides from his flock.
If all these pastors could do more than just talk, Nigeria would be a mile hence. But how can we get better? With pastors being as corrupt as politicians...from Okotie's 120m naira Rolls Royce to their private jets, we see you all.

sapien: Kumuyi is such a hypocrite!
The same Kumuyi who is on facebook? Is Mark Zukerberg, owner of facebook, a christian?
The Same Kumuyi whose church worships on SUN-days(A pagan day)? The same Kumuyi who drives in luxurious cars made by atheists? Let him keep brainwashing his members who can't think outside the box!

I pity your life

haibe:

dull!!!

So you think pastor kumuyi is the one that posts those status on Facebook? you must be a joker.

See this one o.
So that is your defense.lmao

Google the world celebration. Or simply check your dictionary. And come back and tell us better ways to celebrate xmas.
Dont tell us people cry to celebrate. Thats why we have Easter. The death and rise of Jesus.

I dont drink. I use juice..cakes, rice and meat.

Celebration is celebration.

Dont tell me they dont drink beer during Ileya.

Why call the man names? What is untrue about what he has said? Christmas isn't in the bible na. Oya someone bring me a passage in the bible where it was written that Dec 25th is the date of birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and I'll hold my peace.
Abeg you all should leave pastor Kumuyi alone jor. He is one of the very few pastors I'll always love and respect.

Shut up. Its was the church standard not bible standard. He preached against it cos of what he said comes out of it. Knowing the world we live in today, where what we see daily on the streets is even worse than what we see on tv. Besides technology have evovled so much that immoral words, immoral scenes are censored. Asides this...we live in a smart world now....its is practically impossible to make his member avoid tv now. Tthe bible standard remains...but the church standard can change. About his dauther inlaw...if u have a son, what powers or right do you have to control whatever his wife chooses to wear? Open ur head

If Kumuyi is saying celebrating Xmas isnt Biblical, what about Church wedding? Is it Biblical?

Hosea 4:6 My people are doomed because they do not acknowledge me. You priests have refused to acknowledge me and have rejected my teaching, and so I reject you and will not acknowledge your sons as my priests. kumuyi don't U celebrate ur birthday? Infact from 2day I ban all Dipper Lifers from Celebrating their birthdays but doom ar awaiting them 4 not Celebrating Christ birthday.. Tank God I'm a CHATHOLIC MEMBER....... 2moro I can't wait oooooo..

Perhaps,you should just google what the word 'pastor' means. then u'll realize your response to his post has nothing to do with what he wrote at all.

Hmmmmmm,I know some people must reply,anyway its a personal tin

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

What next do you have to say?

Just as the Bible says. Right?

zicky: Mind u kumuyi was only speaking to members of his church, he was not speaking to Christians in Nigeria, so if you are not a member of his church I don't see the reason why dis should b your problem. Every church has der doctrine, so stick to what you believe.
The man stands for what he believe, what do you stand for?

bro I refer U to this chapter Hosea. 4:6 My people are doomed because they do not acknowledge me. You priests have refused to acknowledge me and have rejected my teaching, and so I reject you and will not acknowledge your sons as my priests.

I think Kumuyi was quoted out of context. That is what journalists do sometimes.

Most Christians know Jesus wasn't born on the 25th, infact Jesus was never a christian, but there is nothing wrong in celebrating that day. One day in a yr where christian and Muslims have fun and share gifts. I see nothing wrong with that.

sapien: Kumuyi is such a hypocrite!

You forgot to mention he was busted at his children's (wedding made in hell) fire smiling cheek to cheek while others dare not do such else they face excommunication.

http://clicknewznigeria..com/2013/. as for me Christmas does not to be celebrated God did not tell us to do that he only told us to remember his deaths by taking bread and wine as communal

You mean, the way to acknowledge Christ is by celebrating his birth?

If u knw thier members...you will knw they dont celeberate birthdays. Deeperlife always have backings in the scripture. I remeber always having arguments with them. Guess what they always win. The only place birthday was mentioned in the bible was for something evil... when king herod beheaded apostle Peter!
