I LOVE YOU!

Can Christians celebrate the Christmas? Whether you celebrate it or not, I implore you to read my topic with an open mind. We will tackle the question bit by bit. Our levels of understanding and ease of understanding varies from one individual to another. So, when one has grasped the point, some may still need simpler breakdown. So, don't jump to conclusion. Open your mind and follow gently.

5 Critical points to examine:
1. Who are Christians?
2. What are the tenets of Christianity?
3. What is Christmas? Where's it come from?
4. Can true Christianity accommodate Christmas celebration?
5. Your conclusion?


1. Who are Christians? 2. What are the tenets of True Christianity?
True Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. Christians are bound to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ without diverting from them. Their holy book is the Holy Bible. So, true Christians are bound by the teachings and words found in the Holy Bible. Any digression from these teachings spells disapproval.

1 Peter 2:21: ❝ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps.❞


See:
Deuteronomy 4:2: ❝ 2"You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. ❞

See also:
Revelation 22:18-19: ❝ I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.❞


What do you think? Christianity is not a religion of absolute personal discretionary practices. There are rules which true Christians live by.

MY CONCLUSION: A true Christian's entire life - lifestyles, celebrations, food, dressing, grooming, relationships, works, jobs, career, entertainment, way of worship, morality, thoughts, name it, et cetera MUST be guided by scriptural standards and principles.

Is that your conclusion too? Do you agree with that?


3. What is Christmas? Where's it come from?
Christmas in modern times now mean the celebration of birth of Jesus Christ. This is done universally in Christendom on December 25th, today's date. It is believed by many that Jesus Christ was born on 25th December.

What is the origin of Christmas? Definitely not the Holy Bible!
Xplicit: ❝ Revelation 22:18-19: ❝ I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.❞❞


So, where is it from? Who started it? Was it constituted by Jesus Christ himself? Did he say: DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME? Capital NO! What of his disciples? Did they start this? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So, where did it come from? Who introduced it into Christianity? While on earth, Jesus actually instituted something else, but definitely not XMAS. It was the Memorial of His Death!

I will not talk about origin of Christmas too much. Any human being who wants the truth for himself should research. Do your own research and make the truth for yourself! Don't just believe in what pastor or apostle or priest or pope or father or reverend said. Believe in the Bible!

THE BITTER TRUTH:
Your pastor, pope, reverend, prophet etc may be wrong if he lacks accurate understanding of the Bible! Thats the bitter truth! Jesus Christ foretold about our time:
Matthew 24:11: ❝ ...and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.❞


Matthew 7:21-23: ❝ Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.❞


MY CONCLUSION: Christmas celebration did not originate from the Bible. And there are no indication that Jesus was born on December 25! And of course, Jesus Christ did not ask us to celebrate his birth, rather he ordered Christians to REMEMBER HIS DEATH. Not birth. So, those who celebrate his birth are merely using their imperfect human discretion!

What is your own conclusion? Don't conclude unless you research. Its like making conclusion on no verifiable facts.

We move on...


4. Can true Christianity accommodate Christmas celebration? 5. Your conclusion?
From the fore-going, I leave answers to these questions to you, dear reader. Just one point to add:

The fact that something is widely accepted and practised by the majority of the people in the world does not make it right! See what Jesus Christ said here:

Matthew 7:13-14: ❝ Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.…❞


Jesus said only very few will find the narrow gate! Dear, be among the few and be saved. Do not be afraid to be different among millions.

Do not follow the multitude to do evil!


The choice is still yours.

Let me try to answer you with my very very limited knowledge of the doctrines of the Witnesses .

You guys all need to see this post: Can Christians Celebrate The Christmas? Examined Objectively @ https://www.bestnaija.com/can-christians-celebrate-christmas-examined-objectively-t46502
It will open your eyes. What I see missing in Christendom is the prevalent digression from Bible. They'd rather use common sense explanation rather than stick with the Holy Book.

Browsenigeria:
Common misconceptions
Myth: The reason why Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas is that they do not believe in Jesus.

Fact: We are Christians. We believe that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ.—Acts 4:12.

Myth: You divide families by teaching members not to celebrate Christmas.

Fact: We care deeply about families, and we use the Bible to help build stronger families.

Myth: You miss out on the “Christmas spirit” of generosity, peace on earth, and goodwill toward men.

Fact: We strive to be generous and peaceable every day. (Proverbs 11:25; Romans 12:18) For example, the way we conduct our meetings and preach is in harmony with Jesus’ instruction: “You received free, give free.” (Matthew 10: In addition, we direct attention to God’s Kingdom as the true hope for peace on earth.—Matthew 10:7.

Why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses celebrate Christmas?
Jesus commanded that we commemorate his death, not his birth.—Luke 22:19, 20.
Jesus’ apostles and early disciples did not celebrate Christmas. The New Catholic Encyclopedia says that “the Nativity feast was instituted no earlier than 243 [C.E.],” more than a century after the last of the apostles died.
There is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25; his birth date is not recorded in the Bible.
We believe that Christmas is not approved by God because it is rooted in pagan customs and rites.—2 Corinthians 6:17.
Why make Christmas an issue?
Many still celebrate Christmas despite knowing about its pagan roots and lack of support from the Bible. Such persons could ask: Why should Christians take such an unpopular stance? Why make it an issue?

The Bible encourages us to think for ourselves, to use our “power of reason.” (Romans 12:1, 2) It teaches us to value the truth. (John 4:23, 24) So while we are interested in how others view us, we adhere to Bible principles even if it means that we become unpopular.

Although we choose not to celebrate Christmas ourselves, we respect each person’s right to decide for himself in this matter. We do not interfere in the Christmas celebrations of others.

To generate 3k PV per day, its rational google expects that to translate to at least some clicks. If it's just page views and no clicks, then it's abnormal. But I bet u brother, if u can make 3k PV, u should make at least 3 dollars per day.

Pylony:
so you're also saying that Christians should not take up arms against satan and his army at the battle of armageddon together with the Lamb?

Thats my point. The war at ARMAGEDDON will not be fought by mortals or using mortal weapons.

[size=18pt]TRUE CHRISTIANS do not kill fellow humans[/size] they are supposed to be saving. Shikenna. Jesus is their role model.

[size=18pt]TRUE CHRISTIANS DON'T KILL, THEY DON'T JOIN THE ARMY, THEY DON'T GO TO WAR. [/size]
Jesus said He who kills by the sword shall die by one. He also said to love, not kill even your enemies. He even said to turn the other cheek when slapped.
Christendom is in darkness and headed for DOOM at Armageddon.

All u so called christendom churches wake up
