5 Nigerian Churches That Don’t Celebrate Christmas And Why by ykayexcel: 11:22am On Dec 23, 2019
Among the groups that do not mark Christmas are 1). Deeper Life Bible Church, 2). Seveth Day Adventist Church, 3). God’s Kingdom Society with headquarters in Warri, 4). Jehovah’s Witnesses and 5). Mountain of Fire.

In Nigeria, as preparations are on top gear to mark Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ on 25 December, Christian groups in Nigeria can be categorised as those that celebrate it, (though they admit it has pagan origin) and those that, for that reason, do not.

Christmas is not a pagan holiday , December 25th was a day of worshiping the sun god but the christains later changed it to the day Christ was Born . Jesus Christ himself said whatever u sanctify on earth is sanctified in heaven ; Christmas has been sanctified on earth therefore it is sanctified in heaven EOD

You pick a candy from the sewage dump & change the label,where did get the candy ?
Is it fit for consumption?

OR:
For instance, You remove G- Stout label and place Legend Stout on the beer bottle you want to drink, which brand are you really drinking?
Compare Galatians 4:8-11

Why must you pick a day that was meant for pagan gods to celebrate Jesus's Birthday?

The God as we know from the bible did not create earth. It's all copied from older sumerian text and not only copied but altered to fit the churches agenda. . Just like jesus wasn't born on December 25th like most people think. It was most likely late summer or fall. Christmas is a stolen holiday celebrated by pagans. They were the first to hang greenery on their doors, use Christmas trees. Give gifts. The church was getting bigger but couldn't convert the pagans to christianity, they hung onto their mid winter holiday, winter solstice they referred to a a new born sun. Which was new sun shortest day for the new season. The church was struggling to gain members or convert pagans, so the adopted the pagan holiday and thus new born son born, jesus.

One day Celebration of hedonism for atheists, pagans and all shades of beliefs amounts "to win souls for Christ"?

So ,imperfect men like you ("Christians" in quote) are even wiser than the Perfect Master,Jesus Christ ,to dictate how his God & Father should be worshiped !

Where did Jesus Christ give you guys the mandate to re-label the FILTH and GARBAGE Jesus never deemed fit to change the label?

Indeed ,Christmas induced hedonism & widespread rise of crime/ social vices, astronomical increase in prices of goods and services "wins souls for Christ "?
Whether you agree or not, everywhere Christmas pays illustrious homage to deity of commercialism & hedonism.
NOT Jesus Christ.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Rationalising.....
Your personal tastes/preferences seems far more important to you than the Master's choice.

What fellowship does Christ Jesus or his followers have with annual birthday celebrations?
2 Cor 6:14.

Your life your choice.

When did the master say his choice was not celebrating his birthday? Lol

Well, last last na your assumption. You even made a choice and termed it the masters choice. Hmmm


Show us where they said celebrating jesus birthday was a crime in the bible?

Normal jw tactics of condemning anything Christians celebrate so as to make themselves look different. Lol

So because Christmas pays illustrious homage to deity of commercialism and hedonism make Christmas bad.


Tell us why celebrating the birth of Jesus is bad?
Fear monger.

To show us the bible verse where the perfect wise master said his followers should not celebrate His birthday you can't.


You guys will create assumptions inside your head/imagination and force it to be true inside your watchtower magazines then lie to people that Jesus said it.

Even if we pick another day you guys will still call it pagan.

We picked that day because we don't want to hear anything pagan and also we don't want to give pagans the chance to outnumber us.

Flawed reasoning you can't even pick a candy from sewage dump and change the label. It would have degraded in the sewage dump. You guys reason like toddlers.

It has changed to brand. Lol. From location to brand. Deceitful lots.
Since you removed the g stout label yourself and replaced it yourself so you alone know the brand you are drinking. Last last na beer you dey drink
What kind of question are you asking self. No sense in the question.

From place to brand. They are not even the same self.

Why do you think christianity is so popular today? The investors worked hard for that.

Bloodshed and violence was needed.

The same with islam, another popular religion.
