sreamsense:
In christiandom, weather you celebrate Christmas or not is never a crime and optional. Choosing a day to mark a day Christ was born for our redemption worth celebrating. Jesus doesn't need to tell his followers to celebrate or not. How significant you weigh it in your mind will form your opinion or basis? God looks at the motive behind what man does. Jesus is loving saviour, he wouldn't have condemned such when he weighs motive behind the celebration.

It is not everything human knows how to do right in the presence of God, but his loving kindness shines on his followers with right motives weather you celebrate it or not. Even ordinary prayer, followers don't know how to pray right, it is the Holy Spirit that intercedes and reveal our right motives on prayer to God for answer. A compassionate Jesus that went about showing His loving kindness to sinners and humble hearts when he came to dwell among men can not condemn certain Christians for celebrating His birth or not. He doesn't need to tell Christians to do so before they do it or not. Jesus is loving, compassionate, kind and holy. If it were self-claimed prophet Mohammed, you can predict him because he doesn't love except hatred, killings, murder and law upon law. Mohammed can kill for celebrating his birth or not because he was full of hatred and wickedness.

However, Jesus is loving, he can't condemn certain followers because they celebrate him or not. At times, we only put unnecessary load upon ourselves that loving Christ never require from us

Bring my enemies who refuse that I should rule over them and slaughter them before me . Luke 19 vs 27

Jesus is loving yen yen yen!! Deluded son of God worshipper.
If they ask you who is Jesus now, you will say he is Son of God, at the same time God. That's how you've been brainwashed


Simple stuff, Christmas is a Pagan Celebration but that's not surprising as Christianity is mixed with Idolatry.

For 1550 years there was only one church on earth and that’s the Catholic Church, Martin lurther who is a priest broke away due a misunderstanding with the way the church is doing some things, king Edward broke away to form the Anglican Church cos the pope refused him to marry a second cos the first didn’t give him a male child, many fragments of Christian churches began to form that’s the problem we have today u see numerous crazy, clueless and one man led churches under the name of Christianity, after catholic, Anglican, Methodists other are just businesses and not church

That's their own cup of tea

They should confuse their members not me

Jesus Christ is my saviour I celebrate, worship him daily, if a day is now set aside to specially celebrate his wonderful divine birth

And am alive to witness that day, glory be to God, I will specially celebrate Jesus Christ

I'm grateful lord

What you realize is not true bro, search more, people always come up with conjunctions to make them look better than others in the end what they are pushing is not divine revelation but human agenda to divide the body of Christ and make themselves important. How many of the things & ideologies that Deeper Life has propagated over the years have they come now to change.. The Church fathers of old are more grounded in faith and loyalty to the Lord Jesus than all the so called men of God that we have today who are only looking for the glory and fame of this world.
Thanks for your concern

Having not seen it from the scripture and the early church led by the apostles never practicef it
Neither did Christ himself instruct it

The scriptures is my greatest reason

There was no specific date for the birth of Jesus but from every explanation of the time/season, one can deduce the period is a match. Also, there is nothing wrong in picking a day in a year to celebrate the birth of he that came to safe the world
if we can as well celebrate his death and resurrection. Afterall, every religion has different doctrines.

So when do these 10 churches celebrate their own birth of christ or they don't think its important to remember his birth?

People fixed a day u say No then fix the right day or ur own day and celebrate instead of ignoring his birth totally. undecided

Their wahala.. They can't know more than the foundin fathers of Christianity like Augustin of Hippo,Erasmus of Antioch..who laid d foundation for Christmas. The so called Christmas tree which many blacks called idolatory and attached to Roman goddess actually started in Germany in d 17th century.

Its eggregious that many people don't read to establish fact but always quick to join the bandwagon.

Concerning the 25 of December being dedicated to a Roman god. The founding fathers did that to coincide it with Thur,a roman God of light..and fire as they referred to a biblical passage where Jesus was called 'light of d world and a consuming fire. Not that they deliberately dedicated 25th December as thur or Saturn day. Mk una dey read Wikipedia

Are you more Christian than the founder of deeper life? All the church's mentioned are Christian church so who is the enemy of Christianity if not Christians themselves.?

Is the founder of Deeper life more Christian than him?

The explanation why Christmas was fixed on 25th has been explained time without numbers abeg.

Some churches listed there doesn't even celebrate birthdays, so?

Easter/Lenten period is the most important season/festival in Christianity because it deals with death, resurrection, reflection, salvation etc.

Since you know this, what is now your point exactly?

Mfm and deeper life church don't celebrate Christmas because they believe December 25 is rooted in paganism.

However it's no controversy that Jesus was born on a certain date, though unknown.

If the angels celebrated the birth of Jesus openly to the shepherds, how much more we?

Re: Six Churches That Don’t Celebrate Christmas And Why by sgtponzihater1(m): 8:49pm On Dec 25, 2023
I don't believe Christians should be celebrating Christmas. There is nothing to indicate that the early Church celebrated Christmas.

Both the book of Galatian and Colossians clearly states that Christians should not be observing calenders or special days. The sabbath law has been fulfilled in Christ and we are under no obligation to idolise a particular day. So celebrating Christmas negates the teaching of the early Church.

That said, I do not believe that those who don't celebrate have the right to impose their believe on those who do, and vice versa. We have been freed from religion and should never be dragged back to the legalism that comes with religion, nor be dragged into the licence that come with flesh and love for the world. What we need is the true liberty to be free from human rules and from the flesh, to serve the living God with the power of the Holy spirit that we have received freely.


We are baptised into one spirit and should maintain the Unity of that spirit until we attain the Unity of the faith.

May Christ alone be praised and celebrated every single day of the week, month and year.
