Addicted2Women: You're absolutely unbelievable. It's a Christian holiday. Show some respect and keep your opinions for another day... Your post is very offensive... Christianity is a very tolerant religion so you'd probably get away with it but don't take tolerance for weakness.... God is not mocked. 3 Likes |

Atayis: Because Christianity is the most tolerant religion in society. They target Christians simply because we are an easy walkover. Try that crap on the Muslims and they will rip off their heads... LoL. Christianity is about love, good will toward mankind, loving kindness, warm hearts, and a stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shinning gifts that make peace on earth. |

Why celebrating Christmas when Jesus did not do so and his birth date was not December? Why allowing pagan customs to interfere in Christianity?Is Father Christmas in the Bible? Can any festivity that does not originate in the Bible have approval of God? Jesus never asked christians to observe his birthday .The only remembrance he made compulsory is that of his death (Luke 22:19) Besides, gift giving is a christian practice unrestricted to December 25. (Hebrews 13:1) While everybody's opinion on Christmas is respected, the Bible view on it is still sacrosanct.It is a festival whose origin is not from the Bible but the pagan world 1 Like |

So why is Jehova witness not celebrating Christmas? So many denominations and doctrines that's why the church is not United. |

Agimor: Very Simple. Jehovah's witnesses do not celebrate Christmas because it is a pagan celebration and as such does not enjoy God's blessing and approval. Secondly there are are many denominations and doctrines because teaching of falsehood and demons are preferred over the True teachings of the bible. |

Arguments for and against the Christmas celebration have been on for decades. The main argument against Christmas has been that nowhere in the bible is Christmas mentioned and that Jesus was not born on Dec 25.Proponents of the Christmas celebration on the other hand have argued that while truly there is no evidence of Jesus being born on Dec 25, nevertheless the celebration has a good motive-to honour Jesus. As you read this article, I want you to consider a more compelling reason to avoid the Christmas celebration-its pagan origin.Have you ever paused to give it a thought: if Christmas was not instituted by Jesus, was unknown among his disciples and the early Christians, where then did the celebration come from? It is interesting to note that it was not until more than 300 years after Jesus birth that Christendom officially began to observe Christmas on Dec 25. The roots of Christmas can be traced to pagan Rome with its mixture of festivals for honouring the agriculture god Saturn and the sun god Sol Invictus or mithra. The catholic church wanting to strengthen its position, converted the pagan celebration to a christian one. Anthropologists Christian Ratsch and Claudia Muller-Ebeling coauthors of the book pagan Christmas write :Like many pre-christian customs and beliefs, the old feast commemorating the yearly return of the sun was dedicated to the birth of christ. So if humans can detect the pagan connection of Christmas, the ultimate and most important question we need to ask is :How does God (whose approval we are all striving for) feel about a celebration of pagan origin now dedicated to his son? 2 For 6:14-17 says :What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have or what sharing does light have with darkness? Quit touching the unclean thing and I will take you in. Therefore in conclusion the issue of Christmas goes beyond issue of personal choice. The persons we purport to be honouring via Christmas celebration (God and Jesus) are telling us clearly that they are not interested in the celebration,in fact it is offensive to them. Are we more powerful or all knowing than them?
