"For Herod had laid
hold on John, and
bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his
brother Philip's wife. For John said unto
him, It is not lawful
for thee to have her. And when he would
have put him to
death, he feared the
multitude, because
they counted him as
a prophet. But when Herod's
birthday was kept,
the daughter of
Herodias danced
before them, and
pleased Herod. Whereupon he
promised with an
oath to give her
whatsoever she
would ask. And she, being
before instructed of
her mother, said,
Give me here John
Baptist's head in a
charger. And the king was
sorry: nevertheless
for the oath's sake,
and them which sat
with him at meat, he
commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and
beheaded John in
the prison. And his head was
brought in a charger,
and given to the
damsel: and she
brought it to her mother. And his disciples
came, and took up
the body, and buried
it, and went and told
Jesus." Mt 14:3-12(KJV).

You for kukuma say na birthday kill john the Baptist. In fact herod is innocent.

1) LIAR.
The Bible's account of birthdays celebration was confirmed by secular history to be SOLID FACT.

"Due to its belief .... and THE FACT THAT early BIRTHDAYS WERE TIED TO PAGAN gods, the Christian Church considered birthday celebration evil for the first few hundred years of it's existence"

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4227366
("Why you get to celebrate your birthday...." by Todd Van Luling).

U can't twist historical fact to suit your whim.
Actually, U are the one adding to the scriptures because what the men of faith &first century Christians rightly condemned & forbade as evil , U now polish it and claimed it is good with endorsement.
Isaiah 5:20,21.

2) Yahweh commanded the use of ornaments (gold, copper, silver etc) for true worship in His holy temple . Exodus chapters 25 & 37.
(Mumu sense done claim Yahweh "copied it from pagans".). Na. hypocrisy to carry for head wetin Christ no approve for U wey dey form Christian.

3) The Christ like way of life (which shuns birthdays celebration) no do U? So ,U need to copy pagan customs to validate your life ? Issoryt!!!!!! Yimu.

4) The angels informed the Shepherds that Christ was born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:8-13).but never celebrated Jesus birthday.
(Birthday celebrations is the annual festivities to mark the anniversary of the day on which a person was born).
Angels never celebrated Jesus birthday. No dull yourself.
It's always a thing of joy & happiness when a child is born.
The gospel truth is, the annual celebration of birthdays was never a Christian practice but embedded with paganism..

To justify your non biblical doctrines you quote worldly, non biblical, Satan worshipping, evil, pagan and unrighteous secular sources. Lol

Buhaha. No Bible verse to show that birthdays are even embedded in paganism. Only assumptions.

Eya kpele

By the day i keep being justified for creating this thread. So elated!

Abeg quote the bible verse that said pharoah and herod were pagans.
Then also quote the verse that said birthday was a pagan celebration

One of the greatest ego busting thread of all time!

You still couldn't provide Bible verse?
Your ego busting thread na assumption o. It's all in your head.

#nomercyforanyegoistictoolinsatan'shands!

It truly feels so good to do this!

Somebody will just wake up one morning to force his believe on people. He or she goes goes further to condemn an act that he is not comfortable with it. You don't celebrate birthday because of paganism but you were wedding ring. It doesn't end there, you observe pagan calendar, use pagan phones , platform, devices and materials .Even the white wedding you observe has no scriptural backing as the recognized form of wedding is traditional.

Yes I forcing you because you must stop celebrating your birthday otherwise ... otherwise ... No I'm just kidding and I hope you already saw that.

See I'm not forcing my beliefs on anyone but I'm just expressing my opinion, so it that allowed?

Any one like you who does not Care about my opinion in this respect should just ignore it, and go about doing whatever they want to do for it's certainly not by force!

Except my opinion makes you feel guilty then perhaps that's when you truly have a cause for concern!

I don't care about whether it has it roots in pecan customs or not, but I care about is that it is an egoistic observation and hence an avenue for Satan's to capitalize upon and use to his advantage!

Yes we are here again to make some people very uncomfortable!

I'm sure that Jesus made men even more uncomfortable than I'm presently doing!

If the disciples and the early churches preached some of these false gospels we're hearing today, I don't think Christianity would live more than the first Christian generation.

Preaching the important gospel against the ego of man!

Sorry but just had to do this, even though it may make you feel very uncomfortable.

Speaking of which...

Ego busters

Everyday is a special day for me to live the life of God's Kingdom!

Don't worry if you don't have anything to give me on my birthday because I only see it as an indicator of my age and nothing else.

Hmm!

I don't have much else to say.

Someone just reminded that I hadn't brought out this thread in a long while.
So there you go!

The message is above!

Give him scriptural proof that birthday celebration was practiced by pre- Christian men of faith or first century Christians.
Else, noise making takes U nowhere....

The real issue at stake is : Was birthday celebration a practice of pre-christian men of faith/ first Christian practice ?

Starting from Abel to John the Baptizer, then from Christ to the end of the first century CE, did all these men of faith coincidentally forgot to celebrate their birthdays ?

Can u pls provide a biblical prove dat dey didn't celebrate their birthdays. Mtchew.

I think this is a very good day for this message to be heard

Sorry!
