Hi Daddy Freeze,

I have read your write up on Christmas and I am sorry to point to you that you are very wrong this time. In your submission you pointed to the fact that Christmas is a celebration of a pagan god, Nimrod.
Well, those who celebrate Christmas do not celebrate Nimrod, they celebrate the birth of Christ. Yes, it is possible that the Church in Her wisdom chose to use a date used by pagans to celebrate Nimrod or indeed any other god to mark the birth of Christ, a brilliant idea if you ask me. Maybe you haven't read Acts 17: 22-23.

Again please carefully study Romans 14 carefully which I will paste below:

The Weak and the Strong

14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. 11 It is written:

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
    every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b]

12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

13 Therefore let us stop passing judgmenton one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.

19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean,but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.

22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[c]


I will conclude this way; if you choose to celebrate Christmas to the glory of God it is very okay, if you choose not to celebrate christmas to the glory of God, it is okay. What is important is that all that we do, we do to the glory of God.

Nigerian Christians sha, they can use their bible to justify anything whenever it suits them.

What brought about judging in this matter I love the way you guys are always harping about truth but when you're told the truth you get angry like the Pharisees.

All freeze is saying is this, Christmas is not the real day Jesus was born and you'll agree. No one is saying don't eat your rice or whatever just be aware.

Christmas is just for consumerism. Look at all the Christmas decorations is their anyone that points to Jesus that you claim "is the reason for the season" (Pentecostals and their funny punchlines)? No!

I know it's hard to let go of certain traditions, heck we've mixed our African traditional beliefs with Christianity but it doesn't mean you should argue with the truth.

I don't know why nairaland is making this hypocrite freeze who couldn't maintain his ordinary marital home relevant.

1. I know it's hard to let go of certain traditions, heck we've mixed our African traditional beliefs with Christianity but it doesn't mean you should argue with the truth.

Nobody has ever argued that Jesus was born Dec 25, rather it was a day chosen to celebrate the birth of Christ as the actual date is lost in history.

2. Daddy freeze judged AY for posting a Christmas themed picture of him and his brothers

3. Many of the Christmas hymns are deep worship hymn e.g Oh holy night. Listen to that hymn and you'd be moved to heaven and back. Christmas, with the decorations can be observed in a very Christian manner

4. I am a Catholic

And pls read verse 5 very well to understand why i put up that chapter of romans

Oga, do you know what it means to judge? You guys need to stoop throwing that word around.

Blah blah blah Christmas whatever. You're offended by daddy freeze saying Christmas is a pagan holiday, but I don't see you creating a thread for the millions of kids that are raped by catholic priests.


Stop the selective outrage. Daddy freeze has his audience and you can choose to ignore him like you're ignoring the high level of pedophilia in the Catholic Church.

teach me sir, what does it mean to Judge?
Meanwhile, millions of Catholics are speaking out on clergy abuse and nobody is scaring them from speaking out but that is a topic for another day

Have YOU spoken out?! If you can create a thread for Christmas which is just 1 day, why can't you do the same?!

AY asked what does Christmas mean to you, and freeze like every other commenter gave his own opinion. Why do you choose to go after freeze and not others

Jehovah witnesses,church of Christ,seventh day Adventist, and numerous other Christian denomination have the same believe, why don't you go after them?!

Why freeze?! Is it because he's just one man?! If you feel freeze comment to AY is judgemental, HELLO! Look at your OP. You're also judging him while saying don't judge.
