in all this hogwash no scriptural backing .. just folk tales with endless words.. if the apostles commemorated christs birth as you assert from your copied link kindly point it in the bible and stop this dribbling.. why is it so hard to just prove from the scriptures Jesus approved his birth celebration and that his apostles did same.. where is Santa clause in the scriptures??.. where is that date in the Jewish calendar that corresponds with our modern day calendar to bolster the basis for xmas celebration.. ??

You could see that the catholic church was cerebrating Christmas before we compiled the bible. We cannot put everything in the bible, even the actions of Jesus cannot be contained in the bible as the apostles said it.

The bible is the book of the church, she is not a church of the bible. So you cannot stand something on nothing and expect it to stand. Before the bible, the Catholic church was.

Elnino4ladies:
I will only celebrate Christmas if it is biblical

Cerebrate your birthday if it is biblical

There is an adage in yoruba that says it's one who's alive that celebrate a festive season. Life is too short for you not to celebrate or begrudge people for celebrating.

There are 365 days in a year and you will agree with me that there are more than 365 festivals. So there will be days these festivals will clash.

Honestly, some of you have serious issues.

Dont mind him. He is just fighting a lost war, preventing people from cerebrating their birthday.
Then what do they now cerebrate?

First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS to all .

If I don't cerebrate the Lord's birthday, how sure am I that I will live long enough to see mine, talk more of cerebrating it.

I expectation a complement of rice and chicken everywhere I go today, please don't disappoint God.

EXCERPT FROM UBENEDICTUS POST ON TODAY'S CEREBRATION

Now ask yourself: Would the Blessed Virgin Mary ever forget the birth of her Son Jesus Christ who was conceived without human seed, proclaimed by angels, born in a miraculous way, and visited by Magi? She knew from the moment of His incarnation in her stainless womb that He wasthe Son of God and Messiah. Would she ever forgetthat day?Next, ask yourself: Would the Apostles be interested in hearing Mary tell the story?Of course they would. Do you think the holy Apostle who wrote, “And the Word was made flesh,” was not interested in the minute details of His birth? Even when we walk aroundwith our kids son, people always ask “Howold is he?” or “When was he born?”Don’t you think people asked thisquestion of Mary?So the exact birth date (December 25) and the time (midnight) would have been known in the first century.Moreover, the Apostles would have asked about it and would have, no doubt, commemorated the blessed event that both Saint Matthew and Saint Luke chronicle for us. In summary, it is completely reasonable to state that the early Christians both knew and commemorated the birth of Christ.Their source would have been His Immaculate Mother.Further testimony reveals that theChurch Fathers claimed December 25 as the Birthday of Christ prior to the conversion of Constantine and the Roman Empire. The earliest record of this is that Pope Saint Telesphorus (reigned A.D. 126-137) instituted the tradition ofMidnight Mass on ChristmasEve. Although the Liber Pontificalis does not give us the date of Christmas, it assumes that the Pope was already celebrating Christmas and that a Mass atmidnight was added. During this time, we also read the following words of Theophilus (A.D. 115-181), Catholic bishop of Caesarea in Palestine: “We ought to celebrate the birthday of OurLord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.”[vi]Shortly thereafter in the second century, Saint Hippolytus (A.D. 170-240) wrote in passing that the birth of Christ occurredon December 25:"The First Advent of our Lord in the flesh occurred when He was born in Bethlehem, was December 25th, a Wednesday, while Augustus was in his forty-second year, which is five thousand and five hundred years from Adam. He suffered in the thirty-third year, March 25th, Friday, the eighteenthyear of Tiberius Caesar, while Rufus and Roubellion were Consuls.Also note in the quote above the special significance of March 25, which marks the death of Christ (March 25 was assumed to corresponded to the Hebrew month Nisan 14 – the traditionaldate of crucifixion). Christ, as theperfect man, was believed to have been conceived and died on the same day— March 25. In his Chronicon, Saint Hippolytus states that the earth was created on March 25, 5500 B.C. Thus,March 25 was identified by the Church Fathers as the Creation date of the universe, as the date of the Annunciation and Incarnation of Christ, and also as the date of the Death ofChrist our Savior.In the Syrian Church, March 25 or the Feast of the Annunciation was seen as one of the most important feasts of the entire year. It denoted the day that God took up his abode in the womb of the Virgin. In fact, if the Annunciationand Good Friday came into conflict on the calendar, the Annunciation trumped it, so important was the day in Syrian tradition. It goes without saying that the Syrian Church preserved some of the most ancient Christian traditions and had a sweet and profound devotion for the Incarnation of Christ.Now then, March 25 was enshrined in the early Christian tradition, and from this date it is easy to discern the date of Christ’s birth. March 25 (Christ conceivedby the Holy Ghost) plus nine months brings us to December 25 (the birth of Christ at Bethlehem).Saint Augustine confirms this tradition of March 25 as the Messianic conception and December 25 as His birth:"For Christ is believed to have been conceived on the 25th ofMarch, upon which day also he suffered; so the womb of the Virgin, in which he was conceived, where no one of mortals was begotten, corresponds to the new grave in which he was buried, wherein was never man laid, neither before him nor since. But he was born, according to tradition, upon December the 25th."

Is he on nairaland?

The probability is 99%. Any Nigerian that is always online somehow end up in Nairaland and read people's opinion.

I think Peter Obi generate enough traffic, so lets post this again but with different headline.

Perhaps one more time tomorrow. They will not vex

Thanks Sir
Please how do I create a privacy policy page, about page and contact page?

I do not know your platform.

But if you are on wordpress create an new page via create page.
If html, a new html file for each new page you want to create.

chufor:
Please I created a blog few days back but I don't know what to do next.

Please what are the first things to do after creating a blog?

Give it content that you you want to sell to the people. Look at other people's blog and see their content and then look at yours again.

By then, you can only ask how and not what.

CSC 101 is not about programming, but a basic introduction to computer, history, developements, present and future, a better understanding of computer terms and terminologies, how you as a mechanucal engineer can interface with people and products from computer world and make your career seamless.

Any body introducing programming in CSC 101 is just looking for a way to confuse the students and make them pay for it, cash or kind.

Why not paste the code for the input string so we can see how you declared it.

Because to me, the problem here is that the calculation code is seeing string as one of your input and string cannot be used for calculation in Java. perhaps your conversion is belated

Anas09:
Who are the people i'm insulting? Is your name Catholic?

Which question did you ask?

There you go again. Try again next time

Anas09:
No, he didn't ridicule Christianity. He couldn't even if he tried. He ridiculed Catholicism which teaches idolatry.

I thought I posed a question to you. Have you answered it? befor looking for people to insult

Anas09:
Catholic Church teach Trinity of three persons in One God so anyone who has the concept of three gods has his foundation in Catholicism.

Lol @ Mother Church. More like Mother Harlot.

The guy ridicled christianity and you are calling him catholic.


Then which one do you believe and who thaught you?

We are mother harlot because we gave birth to a christian like you

Anas09:
You must be a Catholic to think that Gods are three. You'd have to show me from the Bible where it says the Gods are three.

Jesus is Jehova manifested and the Holy Ghost is His Spirit. ONE GOD.

Can you not differentiate a Christian from pagan. His words are pure atheist in nature.

So no need to insult the mother church

felixawe:
“A woman is not to wear male clothing, and a man is not to put on a woman’s garment, for everyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord your God. Deut 22:5
God’s providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, and his precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, as we are under his eye and care. Yet the tendency of these laws, which seem little, is such, that being found among the things of God’s law, they are to be accounted great things. If we would prove ourselves to be God’s people, we must have respect to his will and to his glory, and not to the vain fashions of the world. Even in putting on our garments, as in eating or in drinking, all must be done with a serious regard to preserve our own and others’ purity in heart and actions. Our eye should be single, our heart simple, and our behavior all of a piece.
Though disguises were assumed at certain times in heathen temples, it is probable that a reference was made to unbecoming levities practised in common life. They were properly forbidden; for the adoption of the habiliments of the one sex by the other is an outrage on decency, obliterates the distinctions of nature by fostering softness and effeminacy in the man, impudence and boldness in the woman as well as levity and hypocrisy in both; and, in short, it opens the door to an influx of so many evils that all who wear the dress of another sex are pronounced "an abomination unto the Lord."
Deuteronomy 22:5
IF MY SPOUSE MAKES TROUSER FOR HERSELF, DOES IT BELONGS TO ME ?
So brethren, If putting on trouser (clothe) made for myself personally….its isn’t a sin.
In Western world, every woman puts on trouser…would they all perish?
Would we go abroad and campaign against trouser …. this’ a matter of culture.
Where’s love in our heart….Lets practise love!

What kind of sin did you see?

adams123:
stop twisting it my dear..All those celebrations you listed above are not attached to Christianity but Christmas is attacked to it and is not mentioned in the Bible to do so... I am your Muslim brother. Thank you

Christmas is attached to Christianity because they cerebrate it.

Birthday, Independence day is attached to christianity because they cerebrate it even in the church. Show us where it is mentioned in the bible.

Do you still have another type of attachment to christianity, let me not mention others like cross over night and end of the year party.

Even democracy that allow some people to impoverish others have a pagan root. I know democracy is not in the Koran.

So what is the point? Whatever I have, I cerebrate it without taking permission from anybody or checking the bible or koran.

If you are still at home without adding cutting edge to your cv, think twice. Go fo ICT skills like Graphics, Advanced excel, Autocad, Web presence, Software tailored to your discipline or Industrial attachment, to avoid the ravaging unemployment rate in Nigeria from catching you tomorrow.

themanderon:
Most of what he said is true. The Roman Catholics took a lot of their practices from ancient Babylonian mystery religions. If you care enough to make research on these you will see the similarities.

Your practice of going to church on sunday, You got it from Sun god. Your practice of reading the bible of Catholic church you got it from where?

donybrainy:
kumuyi has already spoken about this long ago. The celebration of Christmas is demonic.

Cerbration of independence is demonic because it is not in the bible.

Even going to school, cerebration of birthday, May day, children day all demonic.

How can a sane human being back up a claim by posting a youtube link of himself swiming with his girlfriends. On a serious matter like this.

This is exactly what the bishop said we must improve or get ready for distruction. And you are still inside the church, pray you come out alive.

KenOne:
E dey pain them. I am sure if Mbaka had prophesied against PMB/Osibanjo the catholic church would have kept quiet but because it went against one of their members in the name of Peter Obi they've showed concern and started banning such act.

Though i don't like men of God if they're meddling into politics.

But have they condemned Bishop Oyedepo, Apostle Suleman, Bishop Mathew Kuka that keep on aligning with PDP and Atiku/Obi to the point of preaching and encouraging their members to vote PDP in the pulpit always, the just ended SHILOH was one of the examples by Bishop Oyedepo.

Even Pastor Ayodele that said God revealed to him that Saraki will be the next president come 2019, did Saraki even win the PDP primaries to start with.

Can back your theory with events of 2015 where he declared support for PMB.

The article of catholic bishops he want to enforce, was it not made before 2018.

Do not take parochialism into 2019.

He gave one last prediction before the coming of the ban when he describe how bad the situation is and that things shoild be changed...

Smart, but the reality is we can't continue sitting on the current economic indices. Poverty is the number one cause of instability. Things must change to retain order in the society else even him will experience the violence to come.
