Muslims have evidence for their Salah celebrations stated in the Quran and hadith , therefore nobody can discredit it.

who does the statement below describe?
He walked on water, feed 5 thousand people with 5 loaves of bread but couldn't handle three nails on the cross

He is the same man that when they came to arrest him he spoke and they all fell down, he voluntarily gave his life so that you can be alive today to say this and possibly accept his saving sacrifice one day. That is the ultimate miracle that the life giver gave his life for you to live.

Mumbo jumbo. Classic case of men yarning yari yari. cheesy

As far as I'm concerned this is victory for people with good intentions because, now when you say Christmas you sure know what we are celebrating - Jesus. He has once again darkness.

Jesus Christ is Lord.

PS# who cares about santa? What is wrong in giving and sharing? Isn't that what the message is about? Love and peace.

. The question is what you do on Christmas day whether you celebrate or not.. Christians share n show love on Christmas days n teach the importance of Christ birth. Whether u write about the true date Christ was born or not, it's the teachings n how Christians are admonished to show love during this season is what matters.

Kindly excuse Islam and Muslims from this.

The post was written by a Christian I guess, backed up by facts that can be verified.

Deal with that and clear your conscience instead of dragging Islam into it.

Every festival in Islam is backed by the scripture except the one invented by some people bothering on the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and most Muslims object it vehemently for it's an innovation.

That said, limit the scope of your disagreement with the fact based article to the actual subject.

Thanks.

The op isn't a Muslim now. I'm sure if there are concrete evidences to discredit Islamic festivals, ppl would av done so.
And you may set a precedence, by discrediting Islamic festivals (with objective facts, just like the op did).
But pls, don't drag Muslims and Islam into ds. Face ur Christian brother who reasoned well and came up with ds thread and others who have agreed with him.

I seriously wonder o....
when people are celebrating white wedding they don't put it o, even when public holiday was declared for Muslims last week Monday we no hear anything o.

Please can people just have fun as it is a time set aside to remember the birth of Christ, not the particular date Christ came to this world.

The argument will continue, but Christians will still maintain Pagan festival in one hand and condemning idolatory in another hand, whats a kind of double standard religion?

Even at that, we need 2 appreciate d early christians for adopting pagan festival to win their souls. This what christians of today lack, they want to prove holiness. Early christians were like paul and today christians like peter.
What is important is that Christ deserve to be celebrated.

He is 100% human while here on earth.

He more or less heard his mother telling him the circumstances of his birth, read the Torah and discovered that he was indeed destined and chosen by God to save the world according to what was written.

He had doubts as well just as you now have. Heard about John the Baptist went to be baptized by him then heard a voice telling him that he was his Father, which you will one day hear too, which gave him believe or hope then he went into the desert to pray and get better confirmation about it, that's why the devil was tempting him to instill those doubt in him.

He finally believed God's words for his life and came out from the desert to begin preaching the gospel of the salvation of God through grace for 3 years and no one laid a hand on him because his time to die had not come.

He need not answer Pilate because he wasn't trying to save himself from what is about to happen. Because that's what Pilate wanted him to plead for. And Jesus told that he only has the power over him because God gave it to him.

He wished the cup of death could pass him bye "if it were possible" he said and quickly added not my will but your will be done still volunteering, simply because he is human and no human wants to die even though we know we all will die someday.

Jesus just like Abraham began with believed God is father without a shred of doubt even more perfectly than Abraham so seeing God forsake him because of my sins and yours too, letting death as it were to take him away brought those groaning cry but finally he said in your hands I commit my soul still believing in the resurrection power of God. That is why he given a name above all names that at the mention of Yashua/Jesus all knees must bow.

Those that killed him and were guarding him on the cross after seeing the earthquakes, and lightening said; "truly this is the son of God"
You have to believe this things as a little child would and its never by human efforts but by God's Spirit when the time is right you will because I can see that you're close to believing in the saving sacrifice of Jesus.

It's better to believe in Jesus's death and resurrection while here on earth as a way to get to God or heaven when you die than believing nothing.

Don't bring Muslims into this because everything Muslims celebrates there are evidence of it in Quran, besides nobody is against celebrating the birth of Jesus as Muslims also celebrate the birth of Muhammed but the question is which day is the real birthday of Jesus is it 25th of Dec. and where are the biblical references

Honestly, I found it haculean reading d first few paragraphs not to talk of finishing it. Too voluminous . Kindly give d Torah ref sir. Or shud I read it from its "Genesis" to "revelation" Kindly b succinct nd let's c of it's pertinent sir. U can equally post d Torah excerpt for all to read here pls
