[quote author=africanusvu post=52241162]Our interest is that we av decided to celebrate the birth of our lord today 25dec.wether he is born on june or may.na u sabi.Wondering why these much ado abt whether Jesus is born 25th or nt.if it isnt 25thdec.then tel us when[/quote It is sheer stupidity to claim you following someone you don't know anything about, while growing up in our primary school days, they would tell Our Lord Jesus Christ was born. Now you have finally realized its a lie, trying to change topic. What amazes me is the way Christians take the Christmas as their holy day, how will one choose a pagan worship day as their own holy day? |

Jesus Christ was born on October. Jesus Christ spent 33 and a half years on earth. for example, let's say he was 33 years this year December. in the next 6 months or half year counting from December to April 2017, Jesus Christ would be 33 and a half... viola !!Jesus Died on April . if we add another 6 month to April we going to arrive at October, thus making him 34 years. so most definitely, Jesus would have been born on October not December. going by this Jesus would have celebrated his birth on October 2 Likes |

there is possibilities that Jesus was born on 25th and there is possibilities that that he was born th any other day. nobody knows when Jesus Christ was born so let just celebrate and enjoy the day. some people don't know when there parents were born but they still celebrate birthday for them. 1 Like |

Linqsz: It is a silly question there are so many things we don't know - we know that he wasn't born at winter because the shepherds are in the fields. But really does it matter that we get the day right? Some say it was a pagan festival... Ok. Because Olokun worshippers use the beach, Christians shouldn't go to the beach or climb Olumo rock? In fact Christians shouldn't go to museums because there are heathen artifacts there. It's just legalism by hard hearted people out to score brownie points and feel superior. 1 Like |

Nope! Just a date fixed to mark His birth. For Christians (born again), we celebrate Him everyday as long as we have breath. 25th December is just a date fixed for collective celebration of his birth by Christians just as we also celebrate his death on Easter Sundays which is as important as his birth. He is the risen for the season. May God help us to understand the essence. |

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? |
