ikbnice:which is wrong. As Christians we must know what we are doing, so that we are not deceived. |
Arguments for and against the Christmas celebration have been on for decades. The main argument against Christmas has been that nowhere in the bible is Christmas mentioned and that Jesus was not born on Dec 25.Proponents of the Christmas celebration on the other hand have argued that while truly there is no evidence of Jesus being born on Dec 25, nevertheless the celebration has a good motive-to honour Jesus. As you read this article, I want you to consider a more compelling reason to avoid the Christmas celebration-its pagan origin.Have you ever paused to give it a thought: if Christmas was not instituted by Jesus, was unknown among his disciples and the early Christians, where then did the celebration come from? It is interesting to note that it was not until more than 300 years after Jesus birth that Christendom officially began to observe Christmas on Dec 25. The roots of Christmas can be traced to pagan Rome with its mixture of festivals for honouring the agriculture god Saturn and the sun god Sol Invictus or mithra. The catholic church wanting to strengthen its position, converted the pagan celebration to a christian one. Anthropologists Christian Ratsch and Claudia Muller-Ebeling coauthors of the book pagan Christmas write :Like many pre-christian customs and beliefs, the old feast commemorating the yearly return of the sun was dedicated to the birth of christ. So if humans can detect the pagan connection of Christmas, the ultimate and most important question we need to ask is :How does God (whose approval we are all striving for) feel about a celebration of pagan origin now dedicated to his son? 2 For 6:14-17 says :What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have or what sharing does light have with darkness? Quit touching the unclean thing and I will take you in. Therefore in conclusion the issue of Christmas goes beyond issue of personal choice. The persons we purport to be honouring via Christmas celebration (God and Jesus) are telling us clearly that they are not interested in the celebration,in fact it is offensive to them. Are we more powerful or all knowing than them? I wish this write up can be moved to front page for the benefit of all) |
Pidgin2:wrong response. what u conceded is that PDP achieved nothing. that's all we need to know. |
Too much noise, claims and counter counter claims.The ultimate test to put all this to rest: Can the pastor repeat his claim and do the 'miracle' again without prior notice? |
Ikegodng:Forget it.They know what is proper and what is not.Avoiding consultation is intentional.Ncc and the telcos know the idea will be staunchly rejected,the best course of action is to force it on subscribers hence the last minute information before implementation date. |
kaeforum:yes o. same for etisalat.the customer care guy I called said they will be going ahead to increase tomorrow. |
I just called my service provider.the customer care guy said that the network will implement price increase regardless. |
ajani1978:I don't believe it.how did it happen? |
fpeter:Exactly. That is d bane of our education. Shortly after graduation I taught briefly at a secondary school. During my first week the students were already all over me, clearly tripped. I remember the principal telling me he knows I won't be there for long cos guys like me are not meant for the classroom. True to his prediction I was out having got a job with a FMCG. |
GoggleB:well stated.Shows that these self styled men of God do not read their bibles. The bible has clearly stated we are in the last days. The worsening conditions in Nigeria and d world at large is proof of bible prophecy.The last days will lead to the end of the world.So nothing will get better and no surprise that conditions are worsening and not getting better. |
Built2last:Simply stated, we were outclassed. we played inferior teams all along so we thought we were good.playing a good team such as Germany exposed all our flaws- 1. poor tactics 2. poor ball control 3.inadequate preparation 4.inferiority complex.(our boys were showing too much respect for the Germans) |

neocortex:wetin u want make him talk b4. |
GlorifiedTunde:I am certainly not empathizing her actions. in fact I am not bothered about kemi. I am looking at the general picture.So that you do not get misunderstood or bring undue criticism on yourself, every one especially religious leaders should avoid going beyond scripture and avoid delving into personal issues. Many men have married without having a job at the time of marriage and their marriage did not crash.Gal 6:5: Each one will carry his own load |
GlorifiedTunde:Having a difference of opinion against 'a man of God ' is not a sin on two conditions: 1.If what he said is not grounded in the scripture. 2. If he has gone beyond the scripture by stating as a rule or law what should be a personal decision. In this case the pastor should merely have provided general general advice and let people make up their mind |
mazaje:well spoken man. The fact is that a lot of persons are developing atheistic ideas and the primary cause is the unreasonable religiosity of modern Christians especially the new generation churches.Imagine someone was suffering a heart attack and what u guys could think of at the moment was prayer instead of instant medical attention. Why won't he think you are all crazy. moreover you and probably those close to you know virtually nothing about God in terms of scriptural knowledge and evidences of his existence,hence the reason he always defeats you.There are more than enough evidences to prove God exists.check out information at www.jw.org. |
I thought that he performs miracles. All he has to do is simply wake up the dead woman. after all resurrection from the dead is a form of miracle. Deceivers!!! |
Ekejoestar:what ignorance are you referring to? The fella has spoken d truth. of course church goers who are admirers and worshippers of men will feel uncomfortable with d stated fact |

Crying is an emotional issue and our emotions are determined by the prevailing circumstances such as the death of a loved one. I cry every February when i recollect the death of my mother.My wife consoles me and sometimes cries along with me |
Evaromantik:Religious intolerance it is called. Simply it is a sign that smth is wrong with such a religion or sect.For a xtian it is understandable when u meet persons who live their lives without the influence of God and u want them to change, but it is never forced. I have met some of those Christians, they are usually the new generation churches whose new stock in trade is establishing universities. They compel their students because their message and form of Christianity lacks moving power and conviction, they know most students will not attend on their own.Their form of Christianity has repelled people rather than attract.Solution-Simply avoid such schools if u cant cope. PRONTO |
Okeikpu:Exactly spoken. Catholicism-religion i have never understood.The questions i have asked i have not got answers.If you are a catholic you have serious thinking and research to do.Why not start with the blood stained history of the church as shown in the crusades and the inquisitions centuries ago and the modern day -the catholic church reaction to homosexuality. |
anyaekekehinde:What you need to fathom is that God has just given u a clue that the church does not represent him and that u should that should sit down,think deeply and petition God to show u the true.I assure u if u do this,u wil be doing urself a great favour. |
RaDaZaBaNa:Entertainment, trendy irrelevancies and personalities are what attracts the most on social media, naturally that is what the mods will prefer to ensure the popularity and continued acceptance of their platform.Most persons on social media are simpletons out for fun and are naturally put of by technical and intellectual topics. Moreover in this morally corrupt and depraved society,vanity, sex, nudity captures the interest of people more than anything not only on social media but in virtually all aspects of our life.God help us. |
Attend the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses and no body will give you unnecessary attention |
i always wanted to know what determines the rate of your promotion in the nigerian military? |
IdiAmin1:U got it wrong man.Rivers is a totally different kettle of fish. The external forces in the combination of patience and goodluck jonathan meant amechi was running a lost battle.Those two will rather burn Rivers than let Amechi win.What do u think is responsible for the violence in Rivers? |
