Abeg just shatap if u don't want to follow christ in spirit and in truth....soon u say what does it matter if a pastor impregnante his fellow members,so far his preachin d good news...look b4 u leap ohh
vlarge: Is this what we want to ague about now, Christmas celebrations? What does it matter? How does God see you as an individual? How much love have you shown to you neighbor? How much have you denied yourself to put a smile on the needy's faces? How much glory have you brought to Gods name. STOP all these vain arguments and ideologies, go out there and in your own little way please the most high and beneficent God.

If you truly read and understand the bible u knw dt jesus did nt say we shud celebrate it,u say how effective d birth be past from generation to generation,the simple logic answer is,the bible is one of the oldest book in the world 2day,but it state somethings that has nt even happened but are happening now that clearly justifies that d bible you reading(dts if u reading)has been passed from generation to generation without d people back then celebrating xmas,so hy start nowhuh Or u want to tell me now that jesus was nt right to have clearly state it in d bible,if it is pls I oblige u to tell me,me too wan learn
dozymars: If Christmas day was not marked as a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who will remember that he was born for the reason we all know now.

How effective can the reason for his birth be passed from Generation to Generation if not through Christmas celebration.

Whether he was born on 25th december or not, What matters is that a day has been set to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ just as we celebrate his resurrection on Easter day.

wasco8: We are all human and therefore cannot be perfect including Kumuyi and all
those who see themselves as absolutely pure. Everything about this world is not
in the bible. You are free to add whatever you want to introduce to the world
community to it. Xmas is celebrated all over the world and observed to promote
the religious psyche in all of us annually with festivities. If you choose not to
celebrate Xmas, you can do so. It is a choice and please do not try to impose
your idea on me. If it is a sin because it is not in the bible, let it be. I join the
with the rest of the world to share the festivities to enjoy with family, friends
and neighbors.. The original Catholic church started the celebration centuries
ago. Kumuyi could go and confront them and iron out their differences.

john107: D problem most pple have with Christmas is with d date nd nt becos they couldn't find d word 'christmas' in d bible or where it was commanded. Afterall d word 'bible' is nt in d bible, and we celebrate easter even though its nt commanded, so dats nt d issue at all. Is it wrong to celebrate christmas? Is it idolatrous to sing 'Joy to d world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her king'? No. Its a thing of joy. The angels proclaimed d gud news to d shepherds. Even wisemen came from afar bringing gifts to pay him homage. So its perfectly right to celebrate christmas. GKS celebrate theirs in October, while others celebrate it in early January. D only issue pple have here is d date which shouldn't be a problem at all. D date might have used by pagans to worship dia gods. Bt d truth is dat good will always prevail over evil. Darkness is nt d opposite of light but rather d absence of light. When there is no light, darkness prevails. Christ is the Light. He is the conqueror. He conquered sin and death had no power over Him. The pagan sungod can NEVER overshadow d joy of Christmas. (Make we no give them level). So therefore, come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, come and behold Him, come let us adore Him for He is Christ the Lord, who was born to set us free!
first of all am not a kumuyi member or neither am I an hausa man, secondly I don't celebrate easter,cos jesus did not as us to and again it not just the date in d aspect of xmas,so u want to tell me dt JESUS while on earth did not knw wen he was born and easily put the date in the bible,u said the word bible is not even in the bible and I find that really funny,ok lemme me ask u a quick question have u send the word novel inside a novel?? Read the d the new testament to knw wat christ wants from us as his children.

donodion: Personally i wont even deliberate much on response...this dude here said it in his response

"Paulo Lumi • 16 hours ago −
please people ignore Kumuyi, do any of you remember the 3 wise men from the east who came to celebrate the birth of Christ in the bible and what they brought as gifts? Also how King Herods reacted to the news that a new King has been born? Even after King Herods told the wise men not to visit the New King Jesus Christ; still they went behind him (King Herods) to visit the New King and they knelt down and worshipped him. Sometimes I wonder if some of these pastors has become taliban christians or are they trying to woo more vulnerable customers to their various churches and preaching? Pastors should focus in tackling bad governance in Nigeria and stop misleading some christians with their preaching."
I don't really know why people are just so blind to see the truth here,am not a fan of kumuyi but I do share the fact that xmas is unscriptural. A constitution narate the rules and regulation governing a society right? Why the bible guide us christains and if dt is true where have you seen jesus while on earth,tht he celebrated his Bday okay if u say that maybe it just to celebrate him,what about after his death? Did his disciples celebrated his bdayhuh Tell me if u see anywhere in the bible that says Jesus or his disciples celebrated his bday? Me too want to learn and knw....jesus said celebrate my death not my birth,the only feast he instituted was the feast of passover I.e the lords supper(check matt 26:26-29).and its every first day of the week he says we shud remember HIM..but ur so called pastor dis days don't knw dt,they only preach what will enrich dem financially and otherwise... Be warned for God is not mocked.
Christianity EtcRe: Christmas Is Idolatrous And Unscriptural - Pastor Kumuyi by ericgold(m): 7:28pm On Dec 23, 2013
Princewell2012: Actualy the bible did not give us the specific date when Jesus was born. We are only guesing about about the date, nobody is 100 percent sure of, when Jesus was born, therefore i may choose a particular date, and name it chrismas , and i begin to celebrate on that day, each year, it is not an offence nor do i comited any sin .nowwhat matter most is the motive behind it.
from your statement if u don 100percent sure abt sometin why do ithuh? B wise as a serpent and b harmless as a dove

GeneralShepherd: Sometimes I wonder how some people reason!

You claim people should not celebrate xmas because it has links to roman gods, do you know that everyday of the week is dedicated and name after a roman god?

Do you the mean of SUNday?
have you seriously sat down and search d scripture in refrence to dis xmas packagehuh Not what your pastors says ohhhh,is what u dig out on ur own from d scripture becos there is no differnce between u and ur pastor

ajoguegbe: And who gave you the statistics of poor people in his church. Most of you wish pastors are poor, it is the desire of the devil too, but its too late they have discovered their rights in Christ. If you as an ordinary member realize your right in Christ and work hard, you will join the rich class, its not meant for pastors alone but some are leading by example.

It was Judas who criticized Mary for spending on Christ with the argument that such spending should have been given to the poor, an argument Jesus countered(John 12:3-5). The same old trick of the devil: trying to use compassion for the poor to stop believers from getting any favour. For crying out loud 90% people are poor by choice not by chance. Many had the same challenge that made them poor but utilized it to become rich while they were giving excuses. You don't expect me to be living poor just because their are people who refused to pay the price that I paid. Some people are making money now while some are always on Nairaland lazying and looking for the next pastor to criticize, later in life they will look for those to blame for their poverty: either government or uncle. I have told myself, I have no reason to be poor and even if I am a pastor, it has not changed my conviction. Hate me as you can, its not my fault, I labour for it like some pastors do

Disclaimer: Please note that I am not saying there are no theifing men of God, but such people often return to poverty, karma catches up with them. And even if not, they will pay the ultimate price but it is not you that should judge a God's servant(Rom 14:4), no not in a public forum, bible is against it; it is not you that should join the camp of the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:9-11)except you are working for the devil yourself
shut up ee! If u nor get any beta tin to talk just shut dt ur toilet(called mouth) you just reason with ur yansh and u bringing out shit...so your advice is dt men of God 2day shud survive @d expense of his members abi?? I don't say a man of God shud not be rich,but wen 85percent of ur members are not rich and u advise dem to buy a car worth 120m(in your statement)which can be use to help millions of d less Privilege in our society but chooses to buy worldly tins u knw u won't take to heaven,my brother have a rethink of heart and see d errors in ur statement(or maybe ignorance)


Benson idahosa university of today,how many of its members can afford to put his or her ward there or is it babecockhuh But all this pple called pastors source their money(church revenue allocation) from ur head thru tithe and all...if you want to lead as a pastor lead with example....I don talk my own finish.

chris viral: Lazy brother like myself. Lol, I was also looking for the easy ones but I saw None.. Lol don't panic..
All is easy, all is hard, that is why I advise you apply to atleast two to three universities, gives you a better competing power...

No hidden charges.

Just send them an Email and say its too cost and you can't present it but you have an alternative which is your WAEC english.


Forget, since you don't have it, they need to be sure your poor and needs this scholarship, a letter from relative will do

Your teacher will do that..

Good luck.
thanks very much for your swift response,i just checked in michigan and I want(need) you to throw more light on how you applied to the school,so I won't make error and please give me the links to other schools... Cheers.
