Are Christians Condemned For Celebrating Christmas!? by Nobody: 11:34am On Dec 25, 2017
This issue is a hot one basically ;

1, some condemn Christians for celebrating it
2, some don't Even know why celebrating it
3, some even call all those that celebrate it "sinners"


if you think those who celebrate it are wrong come prove it .....
if you think you are right for celebrating it come prove it ......

ALL COME IN AND SHOW US WHY YOU CELEBRATE OR DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.....

I don't think they are condemned for that do you?

Actually, there is no proof biblically that Christ wz born on Dec. 25. According to history, 25 Dec. was long celebrated b/4 the birth of christ. Its was a Roman empire celebration in honour of their god called "Saturn".at abt 325AD, Emperor Constantine the then Roman emperor who claimed conversion to Christianity, introduce the celebration of saturnalia(christmas) to the Roman empire as being a feast to Christians and non Christians.this wz under the leadership of the then pope. Since the then world wz ruled by Catholic, it became a tradition which had extended to virtually the entire Christian community. Let us as children of the kingdom not be follow-follow Christians. Let's stand out and make a diff.. Cos the coming of the lord is nearer than we think.

hmmm I understand your view .... I am not speaking for the general Christian
...

I'm not arguing that your facts are wrong anyways

Well to start with, Christians who celebrate Christmas are doing so ignorantly, as there are obliviously worshiping something they don't know. And remember that worshiping any other thing like "Saturn" is purely ldolatery, and all idol worshippers ll likely have their part in hell. NOTE, Apostle Paul notice this infiltration in the church as he admonished us in Gal. 4:8-11.

Hope you know that celebrating birthdays, new year, using Gregory calendar has paganism in it.? It very easy to condemn from the outside but when you are inside you would discover that you had being practicing paganism

In the case of Christmas, many of us know the holiday had pagan origin, yet today this origin have been set aside and the holiday marks Christ's birth. Knowing the intent of the holiday is now to honor Christ, we can choose to observe Christmas if we wish.
Hence we can observe that holiday for its intended purpose " that is Christ was born " to humanity.
Holidays simply have no bearing on our obedient relationship with Christ
You are free to ignore Christmas or to celebrate it as you wish without fear of condemnation. Again, a Christian has liberty to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in his or her own walk concerning meaningless issues, without regard for how other Christians choose to act under similar circumstances. If the spirit says don't celebrate Christmas no problem. This case is similar to those saying wearing of gold and earrings is sinful.

Well broda, whether to celebrate Christmas or not is not an option. My final verdict is that true Christians should ignore anything associated with peganism. As the holy spirit I know will not lead us to err but to all truth
Re: Are Christians Condemned For Celebrating Christmas!? by Meti99(m): 7:18am On Dec 26, 2017
You know I pity those holier than thou Christians who prove that they don't celebrate Christmas because it is pagan holiday,

What happens to Sunday that they go to church?
Is it not the day pagans worship the Sun??

Hippocrisy of highest order!!!

Christmas celebration is not just the celebration of Jesus birthday,
Christmas celebration is celebration of the greatest gift God gives to humanity, the greatest Sacrifice of Gift "Jesus"

That is why Christians give the most during Christmas in remembrance of what God gives to man..

If you are ignorant then shut the Bleep

True Christians should also avoid celebrating wedding anniversaries, baby shower, bridal shower and graduation parties too.
True Christians should also avoid wearing ties, suits, wedding ring and they should stop using days of the week and months of the year as all these have pagan origins too. Why criticize one and leave out the others?

this is a public platform and we should mind our words. If you think you are not condemned for celebrating Xmas then got ahead and celebrate. we must learn to walk with our conscience and the leading of the spirit of God, And for those of us who feel we may be condemned, we ll also go with our conscience too. This is the level of confusion in Christianity, but I tell u the truth that Christ had not left us confused, He never instructed us to mark his birthday. Let's try to stand were the word of God stands and remain focused on the cross.
