I asked a friend of mine who is very religious (a very good Christian) the reason why he is so faithful to God. His answer was: I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO HELL FIRE.
My question now is why do people serve God? Is it because they love Him? or because of the fear of hell fire? or because of the way they were brought up?

Please only Christians are allowed to comment.

Does the origin of things matter to you? Jesus never commanded Christians to celebrate his birth. Rather he told his disciples to memorialize his death (Luke 22:19, 20) Christmas and its customs come from ancient false religions. The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas.

roqchiq: hmmm OP guess you have joined Kumuiyi in his believe.

just out of curioisity let me ask a question..''do you attend church on sunday or saturday''

There's something most people tend to forget about Christianity, this religion has a lot of tradition entwined with it. You cannot accept a religion without accepting its attendant tradition. It just won't work, and you'll end up questioning the said religion's practises. Ask the muslims, the pagans, whatever religion you decide to follow you have to accept its traditions, if you can't do that drop it and pick another one.

The Catholics brought you the Bible (not scriptures oo), and by extension Christianity (if am wrong, please show me another religion that has claims to the origin of bible and/or christianity).
The protestants, protested the catholic practises and adapted varying versions for themselves, each as it suits them. Now all those splinter groups are floundering in a mire created by unbelief, doubts and displacement. They don't know where they belong, so they repeatedly attempt to drag others down with them.

Faith is a powerful thing, whatever you believe in, do it completely and fully, don't entertain doubts, and it'll work for you.

If you are a christian, and you don't want to celebrate the birth of ''The Christ'', (no matter what date), then you don't believe you have been saved. You can join judaism (with all due respect to the religion), and keep waiting for your own savior.


P.S; Christmas is a period of joy, it marks the beginning of our journey of salvation, its not all about giving gifts or partying, its about making room in your heart and home for Christ to be born anew. Its about remebering that you are one of the saved. The Catholic church celebrates Advent before christmas, a period of expectancy, we are expected to prepare during advent, repent of our sins, clean our hearts, mend our ways, be at peace with one another, submit to the will of God (like Joseph and Mary did), so that when Christ is born, our hearts will be the manger, our lives the gifts we give Him. Then we would spread the love, joy and peace, only He can give.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS!!!

Christianity is not a religion as u claim, but a way of life which was in Christ Jesus. The term Christian first came into use sometimes after 44 CE. It was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians. (Acts 11:26) Note that those called Christians were Christ's disciples. What makes a person a disciple of Jesus Crist? Following Jesus as a disciple means the unconditional sacrifice of one's whole life. A true Christian, therefore, is one who follows the teachings and instructions of Jesus, the founder of Christianity, totally and unconditionally. Can u point to me any portion of the scripture where Christ instructed us to celebrate Christmas? Or a place where it is stated in the bible that the early Christians celebrated Christmas? I strongly believe that anything in existence has an origin and if I may ask u what is the origin of Christmas? And if Christ did not instruct us to celebrate Christmas, who did? I am not saying that those who celebrate Christmas are sinners, because I don't have the power to judge, my point is considering how it originated, is it worth celebrating by christians?

Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.
It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.

To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.

The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.

In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.

When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.

What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?

You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.

The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.

The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.

This was done long before the birth of Jesus.

It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.

These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.

Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.

This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.

In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.

The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.

Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.

The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.

The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.

Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.

These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.

The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?

The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.

The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.

The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.

The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!

In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.

A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.

In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.

When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.

These reformers left Christmas intact.

In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.

The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.

We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.

As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."

So, what is wrong with Christmas?

1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.

2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!

3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.

Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?

Many who are excitedly preparing for their Christmas celebrations would prefer not knowing about the holiday’s real significance. If they do know the history, they often object that their celebration has nothing to do with the holiday’s monstrous history and meaning. “We are just having fun.”

So what is right about Christmas?

Very correct. This shows that Kumuyi is a true man of God.
1Peter 1-5 - Therefore since Christ suffered in the flesh, you too arm yourselves with the same mental disposition; because the person that has suffered in the flesh has resisted from sins, to the end that he may live the remainder of his time in the flesh, no more for the desires of men, but for God's will. For the time that has passed by is sufficient for you to have worked out the will of the nations when you proceeded in deeds of loose conduct, lust, excesses with wine, revelries, drinking matches and illegal idolatries. Because you do not continue running with them in this course to thesame low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you. But these people will render an account to the one ready to judge those living and those dead.
CHRISTMAS IS THE WORSHIP OF SATURN, AN ANCIENT DEITY IN THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE.

shyvicky: i laugh in ibibio tongue,i have good knowledge of you and want to tell you that you people are not christians,cos u r not following christ,whom you claim you follow,you dont pray with other xtains to avoid repetition of word,but that same jesus said eloi elio lama sabatani,and dat is prayer cos he was talking to God,he was seen repeating one word two times in many places like"verily verily i said onto u"so if a person speaks thus will he not pray thus,if jesus did not repeat words what was he praying for 40 days and 40 nights,you church or hall as u call it,dont know love,cos you segregate and marry yourselves,but God is love,and he urge us to love one another as our self,u claim u follow jesus,but u bring old testament order dat says dont marry frm another religion to avoid bieng corrupt by them,are other churches other religions are they not ur fellow christains,let me tell u dat dont marry outside doctorine only leads ur people to fornicate among memebers cos youths must date,and since u dont want to date other religions u end up dating ur members in de same group,at the end the guys goes out to bring a woman in,and the girls looses cos all d church memebers knows who has use and dumped them

Mtt. 6:7 - But when praying, do not say the same thing over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. So do not make yourselves like them, for God your Father knows what things you are needing before ever you ask him.
