Colossians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

If you don't celebrate your birthday, keep shut and let those who celebrate theirs celebrate in peace

Celebrating the birth of Jesus has its significances and since you don't know the significances just keep shut

You still haven't answered any of the above questions... I don't celebrate blindly... I must have the knowledge of what and who I am celebrating.

If you were to convince a non-christian, is this how you would respond to an answer?

Romans 12:2 New Living Translation (NLT)

2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

OK...next!!!

Ode! You quoted Colossians 2vs8 but didn't see the vs16 of the same Colossians chapter2

Christmas celebration remains valid.

It is a pagan practice, only an educated catholic can answer these questions, your usual social christian lacks the ability to ask salient questions.


But your social christians will insult anyone who dare to ask the why and how questions

To be candid, no one is sure of the exact date Christ was born but it was in a season like this. The mass in Christmas is from the pagan culture of old time which was changed during Jesus era. If you don't like chicken you can eat whatever you like. In the United States Thanksgiving is celebrated more than Christmas (they eat turkey = better than chicken). It depends on you personally how you observe it.

5 How do you come about the killing of chicken on Christmas day? Is that even biblical?

ANSWERS
1. In your village, the birthday of your king is celebrated, how about the birthday of the King of Kings. Why shouldn't it be celebrated?

2. After the death of Jesus, the persecution of early Christian's started. The disciples of Jesus spent most of their time preaching, performing miracles, helping the poor and the needy etc
Probably there was little or no time for them to do any celebration

3. The day 25th was known but the month was not certain.
Three groups of people carried out a research about the month in which Jesus was born but they all got different months,, october, November and December respectively. Thus, the church decided to put it on the 25th of december

4. Santa Claus is called Father Christmas by some people.
It was believed that Santa grants peoples wishes and honour those wishes in form of gifts

5. Is it only chicken that is killed on christmas day? No, people kill goats and cows too
After all while giving food to people, you give them meat as well

Did Jesus instruct you to be insulting people? Your attitude is typical of a lost soul.

Meanwhile, here is what you want me to see:

Colossians 2:16 New International Version

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

Please were is it in the above verse that Jesus birthday should be celebrated, cuz all I see is religious festival, New Moon celebration or a sabbath day...I can' NOT see any BIRTHDAY celebration.

It's either you are blind, proudly ignorant or you read the bible upside down.

Next time read and understand the question before giving an answer.

I am sure if your child asked similar questions and you gave the above as answers, that child would be ashamed of you...you are such a big disgrace to Christianity for coming out with such trash as answers.

BTW, how old are you?

I gave you those answers based on your level
You don't expect a primary one pupil to easily comprehend further mathematics that is meant for a student in ss3

Get that into your empty skull

I have no answer to all your questions but if this 'pagan festival' is strong enough to spread joy,laughter and happiness through out the world, then ama celebrate it with every thing I've got.
And don't stress your brain labelling me a foolish Christian, I'd gladly do it very year. Thank you

You are a wonderful example of an educated illiterate... What a waste of school fees...BTW, enjoy your pagan celebration and leave Jesus Christ out of this abomination.

Wishing you the most memorable and joyful Christmas season. Have a great time. Merry Christmas!

You are a wonderful example of an educated illiterate... What a waste of school fees...BTW, enjoy your pagan celebration and leave Jesus Christ out of this abomination. You are useless to yourself and to the society. Always finding fault in things that are faultless. Nonsense
