everytin we do should be to the Glory of God.

Internet was nt in the bible, it was created and individuals utilize it to the Glory of God.

So how does your internet story tally with the fact that Christians are adopting pagan practices and more worrisome, the fact that we are now seeing it as normal?
If you have to do anything to the glory of God, you must do it according to His own words, otherwise, you're on your own. Even Jesus will deny you on the judgement day.

[quote author=PopSmoke post=97246469]please Nigerian Christians , why are you all afraid to name your kids Jesus

MODIFIED. to the dumbos quoting me

I have seen south Americans bear the name Jesus eg Gabriel Jesus, Jesus Navas

so don't compare Jesus to Allah cos no one bears Allah in the whole world [/q
uote] But people bear Mohammed, no body bears God or Jehovah.

I am not a Christian but Christianity is not built on Christmas.

In Secondary school mathematics we were always admonished to "show your working"

By the way what is "pagan" and what is wrong with "pagan" practices

Why are pagan practices "lies"?
Pagan practices are not the lies,it's the Christian doctrine

It was foretold in the bible that a time will come pple will no longer like to hear the truth. Some group of powerful roman catholic decided to change times and seasons under the pretence of christianity. 25th of decemeber is yuletide. Most christians are aware of this fact but they are turning blind just for the goodies n booties. Christianity demand sincerety and truth but most christians chose ignorance n lies
The whole Christianity thing is a lie sef.

You are ignorant like most on this trend. Look up Saint Nicholas on google. Santa Claus original name was Saint Nicholas.

Saint Nicholas was a Christian priest that loved children sharing them gifts many centuries ago. The same way that Saint Valentine existed who was the reason why valentine day was started because of his selfless service for couples.

Santa Claus is a distorted pronunciation of Saint Nicholas by toddlers or children that found it hard to pronounce the real name Saint Nicholas. Ask your one year old child to pronounce Saint Nicholas and listen to what it sounds like. Of course he won’t sound properly. Coincidentally, Santa also means “Saint “ in Spanish language.

Because children loved him for his gifts. The practice was made as a fun part of Christmas for children because children love Christmas.


Then 25th of december is for saint nicholas. Most children dont even know any thing other than christmas is for santa(sharing of gift). I think you re more ignorant than i am, when the reason for the season is about father christmas, not jesus christ. What good is in that?

Of course, Jesus’ birth has nothing to do with Christmas. Meanwhile, what is the role of Father Christmas or Santa in Christianity?
Just to emphasize John 3:16 and encourage spirit of giving and sharing

For God so loved the World, that he GAVE

Who is no on? So many people believe this to be true. So many people have written songs stating it is true. There's even this popular Christmas carol that says as much.

And children, adults sing it with reckless abandon. So who is no on again? Children are being told this is day Jesus was born in schools and classes everywhere. Many people believe it to be so.

Know the difference between reality and ideology

"... this is day..." you should know that was a typo error. I don't have the time to waste arguing with you.
BTW what I meant was "no one"
peace

Thank you! Was scrolling down with increasing frustration and disappointment, aghast that supposed Christians haven't heard of Saint Nicholas after whom Father Christman (Santa Claus) was named!

Some Christians haven't.. The Catholics believe in St Nicklaus and hence Santa Claus. But some other protestant churches attributes him to Satan.. Santa. Imagine.

And perhaps it's because of the how his story is being told from history to folklore

If u r from another tribe resident in a foreign land dont you make a point of duty to follow up on the activities of ur immediate environment?

Secondly, i am nt like you and ur fellow country men. It is only in this part of the world people see corruption as their right, police station is a business centre, people littering their own street with dead rats and all sort of used items, the drainage has bcom the best dumping chanel for all sort of plastics, polymer, baby pampers, kitchen waste etc yet they blame president for it. Nin reg that is going on, is now atm point for nimc staff. You have to pay 3500-6000 for it. They do it boldly without fear or respect for law. The problem of nigeria is nigerians.
