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 done
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)

Re: Why Has Letter X Replaced Christ In The Word Christmas? by Nobody: 11:17am On Dec 25, 2014
On educative note, lets go to the basis. Christ is a Greek word for messiah in Hebrew. The first letter of Christ in Greek(Χριστός) is "X" pronounced "khi" followed by "p" pronounced "ro". So, X could be abbreviation for Christ as we NG could be Nigeria. For example catholic church use superposed "X" and "p" as an abbreviation for Christ(Χριστός) which is d the first two letter of Christ in Greek. Dat is my opinion.
Re: Why Has Letter X Replaced Christ In The Word Christmas? by logica(m): 11:22am On Dec 25, 2014
From the days of Jesus' disciples, they used the "X" representing the cross, and they also used the fish to represent Christians. Try and read a bit about the history of your "faith".

It is a gradual way of the devil to take Christ out of everything and it may look insignificant but it is the devil's strategy. Jesus Christ the reason for our celebration. Merry Christmas

Are you a memeber of Daddy hezkiah church.



yokiti:
The trend is now to greet your fellow christians Merry Xmas and not Merry Christmas as it was known to be. Methink its only in mathematical equations that we are asked to find the value of X or are we now solving equations in christianity now? Why do we have to replace the root word Christ with letter X in the word Christmas?
Merry Christmas to all nairalanders.
May we all celebrate many more of it in good health and prosperity as well as fulfilment of purpose.
Felize Navidad!
Re: Why Has Letter X Replaced Christ In The Word Christmas? by Dsecret: 12:12pm On Dec 25, 2014
CHRISTMAS: substituting X for CHRIST is an anomaly. Its a delibrate attempt to remove d very essence of it (CHRIST) from d word. I have being educating piple since morning about this issue."Do not be ignorant of the devices of d devil" its not jst a mere abbreviation,it's way more than that. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Re: Why Has Letter X Replaced Christ In The Word Christmas? by SeanT10: 2:03pm On Dec 25, 2014
The truth is, we Christians are always in a hurry, to get what we want, be what we want, and do what we want. There is nothing like a short cut to heaven. Spend some time and mention the name Christ instead of shortening it. The reason for our existence is to worship God in Christ Jesus. So when the anti Christ deceive you, you refuse to because you know the truth. So, stop avoiding the name Christ and say a merry Christmas to somebody. Try writing Christmas and striking out Christ with a letter X for failure, you get it. So, it's always Christmas, don't be anti Christ. Peace to you all
