alBHAGDADI, you took your time to type this glorious trash...you still haven't shown us were in the bible it is instructed that Christians should celebrate Christmas neither have you shown us how you came to the conclusion that Jesus Christ was born on 25 December.

You are just blabbing and jumping from pillar to Post with no direction whatsoever.

Stop confusing people with your confusion cuz it is obvious you are dead confused.

Sadly, the more you try to prove a point the more you display your ignorance in public.

Point 2: U quoted romans 14, grin grin So since Buddhist, Shinto, Muslims also esteem one day above others , And they are convinced about it... That makes it right ?

You contradict yourself.

You say "Yes he wasn't born on December 25th" and "there's a 100% chance he was born on December 25th".

Which one is it uncle?

Quoting Bible verses do not justify anything if you cannot provide incontrovertible proof - especially since the Bible's authenticity cannot be verified.



Reasons for Christmas being a pagan holiday wasn't because of Nimrod (another embarrassing error on your part), it is because of the Roman Sun God - Mithra.

1. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti means 'birthday of the unconquered sun' and was held on December 25th (when the Romans thought the Winter Solstice took place) and was the 'birthday' of the Pagan Sun god Mithra.

Years after Jesus' death, Christianity gradually grew popular & incited a lot of riots in the Roman Empire. Emperor Constantine had to merge the pagan Sun God celebration (Sol Invictus) with Christian doctrines to pacify both parties. The Bible you read today was revised by Bishops & politicians & many books were removed & banned at the Council of Nicaea.

Even the sunday you attend churches was gotten from the pagan religion of Mithraism, the holy day was Sunday and is where we get that word from!



2. Jesus couldn't have been born on December 25th because according to his birth story, shepherds flocked at night.

Shepherds don't flock outside in the Middle East around December (winter). This happens around spring (October).

Its usually cold outside and even snows so how on earth could shepherds have been outside at night with sheep on a hill that would probably be snowcapped and devoid of any grass?!

One JW was telling me he will work on Christmas. Saying they don't celebrate birthdays because of Herod. People will use even satan to imprison themselves. What concerns Christianity with Herod's decision to kill John on his birthday. Is that why all humanity should no longer celebrate our day of birth? Stupid doctrine

U are misinformed, Herod killing John is not the issue, the real issue is this: CELEBRATION OF BIRTHDAYS IS PAGAN CELEBRATION, Herod is a pagan as well , likewise Pharaoh , NO servant of God in the Bible celebrated their birthdays , its a pagan festival. Even secular history bears witness to this

I seriously think people should set the Bible aside and read about the history of Christianity.

How the religion transcended from the Jews to the Romans and Greeks. It will give a better understanding of what it is.

Most Christians are highly ignorant about their religion and they are proud to be. This is why the world is in ruins

You're missing the point. The article isn't to prove that Jesus was born on December 25th. He already stated that Jesus most likely wasn't born on that day.

The purpose of the article, instead, is to showcase Christians' justification for choosing December 25th to celebrate our Lord and Saviour.

This is what I call 'genuine ignorance'...
1. Do you know that many of the early non Jewish converts did not circumcise their body? But Christ was circumcised as a jew..
2. Do you know that many of them did not observe the passover feast which Christ and his disciples did many times over?
3. Do you know that many of them ate what the Jews termed 'unclean animals' according to Jewish law? And I can categorically say that those laws were observed by Christ and his disciples..infact Peter was asked to kill and eat animals that were termed unclean in a vision and he objected at first..
4. Do you know that Christ and his disciples went to the temple to worship on the sabbath day? But the early non Jewish converts did not, they worshiped according to their agreement amongst each other..same as Christians of these days..

This is why God said in Hebrew 10:16,that he will write his commandments in the heart of his people so that they can(through the holy spirit) discern what is right in the eyes of God



Wrong analysis.

Christ did all that because he was BORN UNDER the Law according to scripture .

His death brought an end to all that. , so you don't expect his followers to do same. They are no longer under the Law according to scripture.

Besides,
Where did God command Christmas ? We know those days he participated in under the Law were commanded at a point .

Unless u answer that, u are deceiving yourself

And for those still disputing about Christmas been pagan or not should note the following
1. The wearing of rings wasn't ordain by God for marriages because the men of old never wear them as a sign to signify marriage
2. The apostles of old never celebrated birthday parties, wedding anniversary, attending to other functions
3. There was never church wedding hence no reason should a church conduct it in the first place. No justification for that as the recognized marriage is the payment of dowry.
Should any refute these claims then such a person is an hypocrite for condemning Christmas. If you choose to be scriptural base then live by the scriptures don't add or subtract or bring your idea into it.

Is Marriage an institution from God ? Therefore respect everything associated with it, be it anniversary or whatever.

Is Birthday Celebration from God ?

That should Enlighten you that birthdays have pgan origin. Not even one servant of God in the Bible did his birthday

Nice one! Fire down!
alBHAGDADI:


1. Yes, Christmas was a human invention. But is it all human inventions that are bad? Yes, we christians invented it because Jesus himself gave us the power to do so.

Mathew 18:18
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

We have bound December 25th as a day for the celebration of Jesus. Heaven has also accepted our decision
We have also loosed the pagans from the deceit of Satan. Now they are celebrating Jesus instead of Satan. Or is it Satan's name we called on Christmas?

2. Eid El Kabir is not a Christian festival. Christmas is a Christian festival that's why we celebrate it. Pagans had their own celebration, but I ask, is it their god we celebrate on our own day? No. It is Jesus we celebrate.

3.

Isaiah's 14:14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High

4. Nimrod has no day because he never created any day.

Please stop quoting me Mr Satanist.

Do you have sense? How is a birthday subject to change? What can be subject to change is the date/day set aside for the celebration of the birthday.

For example, I once decided to change the date for the celebration of my birthday to another because I noticed that weird things always happened on my actual birthday. Wether I do or not, it still doesn't change the real date I was born.

So if Jesus' birthday is subject to change, where is its relevance?

Let me use your logic.

You say marriage is an institution from God, that's why you believe celebrating wedding anniversary is good even though no scripture says so.

Okay, giving birth which mostly comes after marriage is also as a result of God's work who gives babies. So we celebrate such days even though it is not scriptural. We celebrate birthdays because the Bible doesn't warn against it.

So Mr man, stop speaking where the Bible is silent, or else you will be forcing your commandment on us and claiming it is the doctrine of God.

People who are much more educated than you'll ever be are Christians. Christians dominate the world in education, science, technology etc.

That being said, the Bible is composed of two religions namely; Judaism and Christianity. While you can use Judaism to prove anything including murder, you can never ever (not in a million years) use Christianity to prove murder and all other evil acts. Christianity teaches unmatchable love such as the one Christ demonstrated to us by dying for us. Christianity teaches forgiveness, purity of the heart, mind and soul by being holy,
and thinking good thoughts.

alBHAGDADI & MrPresident1 answer these questions or forever remain silent:


1. Why wasn't Christmas mentioned in the Bible?

2. Why did St. Peter, St. Paul and all the authors of the New Testament not make reference to Christmas in the numerous letters they wrote to the churches?

3. How could shepherds be out with their sheep at night on Jesus' birthday if Jesus was born in winter?

4. Why did Christians wait till 336AD (over 300 years after Jesus' death) to celebrate their first Christmas?

5. Why did it take a Pagan (Emperor Constantine) to "remind" Christians to celebrate the most important day of their religion?




PS: You cannot quote Bible verses because the Bible actually has nothing to say about Christmas since the Bible was written long before Christmas (as we are made to believe).
You argue blindly like some1 without knowledge. Is it a sin to be driving on Range Rover now because it was not mentioned in d bible? Kai why this stupid argument. Or is wrong to lick icecream because it was not mentioned in d bible. Stop using ur android phone because it was also not mention in d bible.

The Bible is our only authority, it is the word of God, the absolute authority


Psalm 19 King James Version (KJV)

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.


13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
