MILLIONS worldwide are getting ready to enjoy the 2014 Christmas season. Perhaps you are among them. On the other hand, it may not be your custom to share in the religious aspects of this popular celebration. Either way, you are not likely to escape the influence of Christmas. It permeates the worlds of commerce and entertainment, even in non- Christian lands. What do you know about Christmas? Is the celebration of Christ’s birth supported in the Bible? What is behind this popular celebration held every December 25th? Christmas Banned If you take a few moments to research this subject, you will find that Christmas has no roots in true Christianity. Many Bible scholars of various religious denominations acknowledge this. With that in mind, it should not surprise you that in England, Cromwell’s Parliament decreed in 1647 that Christmas be a day of penance and then banned it outright in 1652. Parliament purposely met on December 25 every year from 1644 to 1656. According to historian Penne L. Restad, “ministers who preached on the Nativity risked imprisonment. Churchwardens faced fines for decorating their churches. By law, shops stayed open on Christmas as if it were any regular business day.” Why such drastic measures? Puritan reformers believed that the church should not create traditions that did not exist in the Scriptures. They actively preached and distributed literature denouncing Christmas celebrations. Was Jesus Born on December 25? The custom: According to tradition, Jesus’ birth took place on December 25 and is celebrated on that date. “ Christmas,” says the Encyclopedia of Religion, means “‘Christ’s Mass,’ that is, the mass celebrating the feast of Christ’s nativity,” or birth. Its roots: “The establishment of December 25 evolved not from biblical precedent,” says The Christmas Encyclopedia, “but from pagan Roman festivals held at year’s end,” about the time of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Those festivals included the Saturnalia, in honor of Saturn, god of agriculture, “and the combined festivals of two sun gods, the Roman Sol and the Persian Mithra,” says the same encyclopedia. Both birthdays were celebrated on December 25, the winter solstice according to the Julian calendar. Those pagan festivals began to be “Christianized” in the year 350, when Pope Julius I declared December 25 to be Christ’s birthday. “The Nativity gradually absorbed or supplanted all other solstice rites,” says the Encyclopedia of Religion. “Solar imagery came increasingly to be used to portray the risen Christ (who was also called Sol Invictus), and the old solar disk . . . became the halo of Christian saints.” What the Bible says: The Bible does not give Jesus’ birth date. But we can safely conclude that he was not born on December 25. How so? The Bible tells us that when Jesus was born, shepherds were “living out of doors” tending their flocks at night in the vicinity of Bethlehem. ( Luke 2: The cold, rainy season usually began inOctober, and shepherds— especially in the colder highlands, such as those around Bethlehem—brought their sheep into protected shelters at night. The coldest weather, sometimes accompanied by snow, occurred in December, . * Significantly, the early Christians, many of whom had accompanied Jesus in his ministry, never celebrated his birth on any date. Rather, in harmony with his command, they commemorated only his death. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ) Still, some may say, ‘Does the pagan connection really matter?’ The answer? It does to God. “The true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth,” said Jesus Christ.— John 4:23. A Counterfeit! When examined in the light of the Bible, virtually every facet of Christmas is either pagan in origin or a distortion of the Bible accounts. Hence, Christmas customs are Christian in name only. How did this come about? Centuries after the death of Christ, many false teachers arose, just as the Bible had foretold. ( 2 Timothy 4:3, 4) Those unprincipled men were more interested in making Christianity fashionable to the pagan masses than they were in teaching truth. Hence, they gradually adopted popular pagan religious festivals and labeled them “Christian.” Such “false teachers,” the Bible warned, “will exploit you with counterfeit words. But as for them, the judgment from of old is not moving slowly, and the destruction of them is not slumbering.” ( 2 Peter 2:1-3) Jehovah’s Witnesses take those words seriously—as they do the entire Bible, which they view as the written Word of God. ( 2 Timothy 3:16) Hence, they reject false religious customs or celebrations. so if your church celebrates christmas please think twice about that, and do what the bible says Rev. 18:4 "GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHARE WITH HER IN HER SINS..." GOD will soon destroy all false religions, this is the time to stand for true worship |
1. You have six salivary glands. Not one, not two, but six glands in your head that produce nearly two liters of saliva every day. Your sublingual, submaxillary, and parotid glands work together to keep your mouth and throat from turning to dust. No, seriously, have you ever seen a dried-out mucous membrane? It's like watching The Mummy all over again. 2. Saliva is 99% water. Actually, saliva is around 99.5% water, which is why it's so important for you to stay hydrated. In addition to water, enzymes and "buffers" (things that maintain a balanced pH level) help keep the status quo in the oral cavity. 3. Without saliva, you couldn't taste. If you've ever had a case of dry mouth, you'd have noticed that you weren't able to taste things very well. A dry tongue actually can't taste a thing! Chemicals in food need to dissolve in saliva for the taste buds in your tongue to detect them, and saliva constantly keeps the receptors nice and wet. 4. Saliva acts as a warning before you vomit. Talk about your gross headers, but there you have it. Ever notice that your mouth fills with saliva before you're about to vom? It happens because your body is trying to digest whatever is ailing it, and since digestion begins in the mouth your salivation mechanism is revved up. Here's a helpful trick: if you ever get that feelingand your mouth begins to fill, don't swallow your saliva. That actually triggers vomiting. Spit it out and, chances are, you won't need a bucket. 5. Sometimes the sublingual glands turn you into a human fountain. Don't even ask. But sometimes if you yawn, you'll briefly become a human fountain when a small stream of saliva erupts from under your tongue. This is due to the contraction of a muscle that pushes against the sublingual glands, which sends the saliva shooting out— sometimes at great distances! 6. Saliva has healing properties—so long as the thing being healed is in your mouth. When a dog gets hurt, what's the first thing it does? It licks its wound. To some degree, the same thing happens with humans. Ever notice that a wound in your mouth heals exponentially faster than a wound anywhere else in the body and never leaves behind a scar? This is because your saliva contains immune cells, antimicrobial and antifungal proteins, and growth factors that promote wound healing. However, that only goes for wounds in the mouth. In addition to all those healing factors, your saliva is also chock-full of bacteria, which could infect a wound on your skin. |

The Nigerian man is always in a rush when it comes to sex. They rush into it and quickly rush out once they “come”. Every driver that wants an accident-free trip must drive safely, know his road signs, have good driving skills and be a good observer. This is also true with sex because marital sex is a journey and not to be done in a rush. Those who want to succeed in marriage give their sex life a lot of attention and sex is what makes it different and wonderful. So, for no reason must a spouse “beg” or “plead” for sex from her partner. Rather, good sex should be given mutually at all times”. On why she thinks Nigerian man rush into and out of sex Even though a penis is controlled by the nervous system, it still has a mind of its own. Every woman loves pre-intimacy but the African man has not much time for those sweet touching of a woman’s body or genital before sex, they see it as a waste of time. If men tend to rush through pre-intimacy, if at all they want to do it, they do it mildly and hurriedly. This is because they are ever ready the moment they have an erection. Delaying intercourse when they have an erection and a willing woman nearby? That sounds idiotic to them because they see it as a waste of their precious time. A true Nigerian woman is not frigid. It is the way and manner a Nigerian man, lets say a black man, gives sex to her that makes a black woman frigid. A Nigerian man goes out from his own point of need and not from the woman’s point of need. They rush into the woman’s private part and rush out. They see the woman as an object to release into. They don’t care whether she has an orgasm. All they are after is about themselves. They fail to realize that she has her sexual Libido which should be touched or aroused before dipping their manhood into her. But we let them know that they should never rush the woman. A man should ask a woman to give him different styles and positions during sex. She should be free to ask for sex whenever she feels the urge. Our men should allow the women to have sex the way they enjoy doing it too. It shouldn’t be just the Adam and Eve style where the man commands her to open and raise her legs and all of a sudden he rushes inside immediately. This means she has just been legally raped. Ask a woman what she wants in bed or during sex, she will tell you she wants to be romanced, touched, kissed, she wants to be friendly. She wants to be bounced with her partner first and this will really make her come easily and sweetly. She will never be frigid if the man presses the right buttons in her because sex to a woman is emotion and she can trade sex for affections because he wants sex. The moment she gets affection from her man, she will be able to open up well for her man to come inside her. So a woman you can easily go into her heart is a woman you can easily get into her legs. Before sex, a woman will want the man to start with talk even if the talk is not relevant but she just needs your attention. She will want to be touched all over but not immediately at the main point of her body so that so it does not appear like you are only interested in getting in-between her legs. Give her the attention, get bonded, get connected first because she wants to feel you. So sex to a man is a show of love he derives during sex or after the sex while that of a woman is a show of emotion she gets before sex. So if you don’t understand what a woman really needs in sex, she will tighten her legs and lie down like a log or dead body lying in state because she is not feeling the man emotionally” |
