Merry Christmas to all those celebrating it and happy Sunday to those that are broke, complaining of no money.

I pray that come 2023, people like righteousness will give his life to Christ, by denouncing the lord's choosen charismatic revival movements.

I also pray that a rich boyfriend will locate Jennyclay come 2023, so she will stop complaining of being broke.

Good things abound to all those that will vote for Peter Obi, while terrible things will befall all those that will still have the guts to vote APC or PDP.

Merry Christmas to all the Christian’s around the world.

Indeed HOPE IS RENEWED

What hope is renewed?

Merry Christmas à tous

To those Christians who argue every year about Christmas if 25th December is correct name etc. They are still ignorant of the Law of LIBERTY in Christ Jesus.

THE LAW OF LIBERTY IN CHRIST
Romans 14:4-10

[4]Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
[5]One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

You no read am at all?

Jesus Christ whom you claim to be servant to is the one I claim to be servant to. And He, Jesus Christ told His servants how to identify those who are truly His from those who are not His meaning Jesus Christ gave His seventh authority to judge those who claim to belong to Him in order to identify and know the frauds among them.

Now, what Paul seems to be telling you is that you should not judge those who belong to another master meaning it is not your place to judge, say, a Muslim or a Hindu since those proclaim other masters. It is according to their master that they stand or fall, not yours since you don't believe in the same deity that they do.

Its been a long, amazing and surprising year for all of us, but it is that time of the year again when we all take a pause and remenisce on all that has happend so far. Many of us started this year together but if you are among the number that made it this far congratulations and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS YOU

Merry Christmas to you too. And to all Nairalanders. May this festive season attracts good things to our lives.

Was Jesus born on December 25? There is no evidence for this date. So then, who decided that Jesus' birth would be celebrated on that date? The early Christian church did not celebrate Jesus' birth. It wasn't until A.D. 440 that the church officially proclaimed December 25 as the birth of Christ. This was not based on any religious evidence but on a pagan feast. Saturnalia was a tradition inherited by the Roman pagans from an earlier Babylonian priesthood. December 25 was used as a celebration of the birthday of the sun god, land of the rising sun. It was observed near the winter solstice.

The apostles in the Bible predicted that some Christians would adopt pagan beliefs to enable them to make their religion more palatable to the pagans around them. Therefore, some scholars think the church chose the date of this pagan celebration to interest them in Christianity. The pagans were already used to celebrating on this date.

The Bible itself tells us that December 25 is an unlikely date for His birth. Palestine is very cold in December. It was much too cold to ask everyone to travel to the city of their fathers to register for taxes. Also the shepherds were in the fields (Luke 2:8-12). Shepherds were not in the fields in the winter time. They are in the fields early in March until early October. This would place Jesus' birth in the spring or early fall. It is also known that Jesus lived for 33.5 years and died at the feast of the Passover, which is at Easter time. He must therefore have been born six months the other side of Easter - making the date around the September/October time frames.

Other evidence that December 25 is the wrong date for the birth of Jesus comes from early writings. Iranaeus, born about a century after Jesus, notes that Jesus was born in the 41st year of the reign of Augustus. Since Augustus began his reign in the autumn of 43 B.C., this appears to substantiate the birth of Jesus as the autumn of 2 B.C. Eusebius (A.D. 264-340), the "Father of Church History," ascribes it to the 42nd year of the reign of Augustus and the 28th from the subjection of Egypt on the death of Anthony and Cleopatra. The 42nd year of Augustus ran from the autumn of 2 B.C. to the autumn of 1 B.C. The subjugation of Egypt into the Roman Empire occurred in the autumn of 30 B.C. The 28th year extended from the autumn of 3 B.C. to the autumn of 2 B.C. The only date that would meet both of these constraints would be the autumn of 2 B.C.

John the Baptist also helps us determine that December 25 is not the birth of Jesus. Elizabeth, John's mother, was a cousin of Mary. John began his ministry in the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar. The minimum age for the ministry was 30. As Augustus died on August 19, A.D. 14, that was the accession year for Tiberius. If John was born on April 19-20, 2 B.C., his 30th birthday would have been April 19-20, A.D. 29, or the 15th year of Tiberius. This seems to confirm the 2 B.C. date, and, since John was 5 months older, this also confirms an autumn birth date for Jesus.

Another interesting fact comes from Elizabeth herself. She hid herself for 5 months and then the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary both Elizabeth's condition and that Mary would also bear a son who would be called Jesus. Mary went "with haste" to visit Elizabeth, who was then in the first week of her 6th month, or the 4th week of Dec., 3 B.C. If Jesus was born 280 days later it would place his birth on Sept. 29, 2 B.C. Some scholars interpret the 6 months to be in line with the Hebrew calendar or the August-September time frame. Since Mary's pregnancy commenced a little before the sixth month around July, Jesus would be born somewhere around March-June. But does it matter if Jesus was born on the spring, the fall, or on December 25? Does it matter, theologically, when Jesus was born? What do you think, does it matter what day we celebrate His birth? What if Jesus never existed and the early Christians decided to create him, and his birthday? What if he was black from Heebo/Ebo tribe and they whitewashed Him

Being a nuisance and a fool on Christmas morning is just the height of it, you need to be chained before you pull your clothes.
