Re: Why Has Letter X Replaced Christ In The Word Christmas? by Nobody: 10:24am On Dec 25, 2014
a good majority of christians read the bible like a children story book. the word or celebration of the Death of Christ is not recorded anywhere in the Bible. the Mass for Christ (Christ's Mass) is a Catholic Procession commemorating the Death of Christ and his sacrifice to humanity not his birth. The only mention of a similar festival in the Bible is attributed to a pagan tradition.

Jeremiah 10:2-4: "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not." (King James Version).

whether you put an X or Chr means squat when you have no clue of the origins.

There is not a single verse in the bible that says
Jesus (peace be upon him) was born on the 25th
of December. There is not a single verse in the
bible that says anything regarding “Christmas” or
“Santa” itself. There is not a single verse in the
bible that Jesus declares to be God.
God does not need eat, Jesus did. God does not
sleep, Jesus slept. God does not pray, Jesus
prayed. God is independent, Jesus is dependent
as he prayed. God is All Knowing, Jesus has
limited knowledge and is not all knowing.
Jesus prayed, Muslims pray. Jesus fasted,
Muslims fast. Jesus kept a beard and so do
Muslim men. We love Jesus (peace be upon him)
he is our role model. Even his mother Mary who
we Muslims call her as Maryam she wore a scarf,
full loose veil which Muslim women wear because
both were Muslims.
Jesus (peace be upon him) came with a simple
message, to tell his nation to worship One God
without any partners. Bible has been edited
several times, there are so many versions and
contradictions. God sent down another Prophet
who was called Muhammad (peace be upon him)
he came to mankind not just one nation. This is
the last prophet with the last revelation as God
said he will protect this book from being altered
and changed. This book is the Qur’an till this day
it has never been changed or altered.
We invite you to look further and investigate
Islam. Islam is not just another religion. It is the
same message preached by Moses, Jesus and
Abraham. Islam literally means ‘˜submission to
God’ and it teaches us to have a direct
relationship with God. It reminds us that since
God created us, no one should be worshipped
except God alone. It also teaches that God is
nothing like a human being or like anything that
we can imagine.
The concept of God is summarised in the Qur’an
as: Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute.
He does not give birth, nor was He born, and
there is nothing like Him*. [112:1-4]
Becoming a Muslim is not changing or losing
your Christian identity. But it’s going back to the
original teachings of Jesus. Guidance ultimately
comes from God. We ask God to guide us and
you. God says:
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said,
“O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger
of Allah to you confirming what came before me
of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a
messenger to come after me, whose name is
Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear
evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic.” (Al
Qur’an 61 : 6)

Christians just attached Jesus to an existing festive period the Winter Solstice, appropriated it, and now acting like the real owners.

And you think true christians who have discovered the truth are happy about it? Sure we know Christ wasn't born on 25th and we are not claiming He is, our joy is just that we celebrate the coming of a saviour and to true christians christmas is not 25th Dec, its every day.

Christmas means celebration of our lord Jesus Christ who came into this world to die for the sins of the whole world and he resurrected after three days.

It is only those that are blind that will keep arguing on why Christians should not celebrate it. The popular story they will tell you is that Christmas came from pagan.
This is Christmas and not paganmas, I wonder how long it will take before it sinks to their brain.
For example a christian missionary enters into a village where all of them are pagans and he preached the gospel of Jesus and almost the entire village converted to Christianity even the high priest of the shrine in the village is among the converts.They have a meeting on where to build a church in the village and the former high priest who is now a christian decides together with others to use the land where the pagan shrine is located for a church building. The church is built and they start worshiping God there. The earth is the lords and his fullness thereof, therefore any land can be used for a church building and any day can be used to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
The three wise men came to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as they brought gifts too.

If you choose not to celebrate that's your personal choice but let those who choose to celebrate God who came in human form to be offered as a sacrifice for the whole mankind keep on celebrating be it January,May,August.etc

I also want to talk about Xmas! It may appear that Christ is being taken out of Christmas, but is this what is really going on?

First of all, you have to understand that it is not the letter X that is put into Christmas.
We see the English letter X there, but actually what it involves is the first letter of the Greek name for Christ.
Christos is the New Testament Greek for Christ.
The first letter of the Greek word Christos is transliterated into our alphabet as an X.
That X has come through church history to be a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ dated back in the 1500s.
Next time you hear someone talking about how wrong "xmas" is, please teach him or her the history behind it.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Merry Xmas to you
