Most of us acknowledge the fact that there are some reservations about Christmas. Notwithstanding, the birth any day could have been chosen to celebrate the birth if Christ.

Besides for enemies of Christianity who want to be hypcrite, they should remember that some muslims celebrate Birth of Prophet Mohammad whereas majority of muslims do not celebrate it
This lies you wouldn't want to attribute to yourselves you are attributing it to one of the best humans on earth to ever live.

Haaa Oma sẹ́ o!

Do you celebrate your own birthday other than the day you were born?
I can certainly and undoubtedly say no,but you celebrate an attribution to a man who never for once celebrated his birthday.

You can see how misguided you guys are.

God bless you for this.

Even Sunday which Jehovah's witnesses use to Preach is said to be the Day dedicated to the Roman Sun God. undecided

January as a month is connected to a Greek god, Janus. smiley

If Christians should dig deep, most of our practices came from Roman paganism and it's not our Fault.
As Christianity came from Rome. sad

Check Out Six Churches That Don’t Celebrate Christmas And Reasons

Christmas is a pagan celebration, it’s never a Christian celebration, Birth of Christ wasn’t celebrated in the Bible the account only commemorate death of Jesus because he commanded that his disciples and followers should do that in remembering him, but today some Christians will stupidly say Christ is the reason for the season, I laugh in 3D

Don't be too quick to conclude.

I am not a fan of any but be realistic in reasoning.

Jesus as known by many churches was welcomed on earth in human flesh.

"and the word was made flesh and dewelth among us" bible verse

According to the Bible, he was a resident of heavens from the beginning of creations but he was chosen to travel to ("earth "another dimension) for a special mission and therefore, his arrival on earth was marked as BIRTH.

HE WAS A SPIRIT BEING BUT WAS MADE TO BE HUMAN FOR SOMETIME.

2. THE BIBLE RECORDED THAT HE COMPLETELD HIS HUMAN MISSION BY DIEING LIKE ALL HUMANS but to prove his divinity and powers, he waked fromr death after 3 days and travelled to heavens again in broad day light by as assension and people were watching this like a rocket travelling in day light in the presence of all people present.
When God die for 3days please who is controlling the universe not only the world that time.......🤣🤣🤣🤣

DR Olukoya's birthday is July 15.

That day is also a time of festival, for the Goddess Athena. Known as a sowing festival.

That history, I believe, is older than Dr Olukoya. Should we say the date has a demonic link and he shouldn't celebrate or mark his birthday on that day?

Whether some churches celebrate or not, the truth is Christ is born.The date of birth not withstanding.

The lying part is deceiving the world from generation to generation that he's born on December 25th whereas is absolute false.

A Jehovah witness member told me today that celebrating birthday is a sin I told him why he said those that celebrated birthday in the Bible used human head and Jesus didn't tell us to celebrate his birthday. I told him that others used human head to celebrate birthdays doesn't mean that I will use human head to celebrate mine moreover Jesus did not tell us to use phones, some people used phones to kill why are you using it. He couldn't answer it

Please read this

On the argument that Christmas is a Pagan feast

Another Christmas, and the recycled argument continues on how 25th December is a pagan feast, and how Christ was not born on the 25th.

Some things don’t go well with me, arguments like this that don’t make any logical sense.

Let us agree that Jesus was not born on the 25th, can you kindly suggest to us a new date? And since you know he was not born on the 25th, it therefore means you know or have an idea of the date he was born. Tell us then.

I heard this same argument for Sunday. They said Sunday is a day of worship of the pagan Sun-god and that the meaning of Sunday came from the Sun-god.

I remembered sharing a detailed teaching and telling those propagating that message the reason for Sunday, being that it was the first day of the week, and Christ rose that day and started appearing to his disciples every first day of the week as they gathered behind closed doors in prayers.

I think I should not have wasted my time in doing that, what I should have done would have been to simply remind them that the days of the week as we have them today were all adopted. They are all pagan.

Monday is named after the god of the moon. Thursday is for the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Friday is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn.

There is this impression from some of you that once anything has a pagan origin it is evil and it is impossible for it to be 'Christianized.'

Well, unfortunately, many things came from the pagans, including the papyrus that was used to write the bible in those days. The tradition of offering visitors kolanut in Igbo culture is largely pagan. Even Baptism as we know it today as the pouring of water or immersion in rivers did not start with Christians. Eating pork is pagan. New yam festival is pagan. Ojuju Calabar is pagan.

What some of you fail to see is that the Christian faith must be planted in a culture for it to take root. Even St Paul while preaching to the Areopagus in Act 17:16-34 had to use what the Athens have as an altar to the "unknown god", to plant the message of the living and known God into them.

Once the Christian faith is planted in any culture, it uproots the bad in it and retains the good. This is why once you mention "Sunday" we think about the day of worship in church and not sun-god. This is why 25th December may not be the day Christ was born in your calculation, but it has taken a Christian dimension pushing aside whatever it was known with before. This is why the cross, which was pagan, and seen as a symbol of shame, has now taken a total different meaning the moment Christ was crucified on it.

The pagan cross moved from shame to fame, from gory to glory (let me be looking for rhyme words like a motivational speaker since na watin una wan hear. Nobody should stress me biko.)

#PurestPurity

From Fr. Kelvin Ugwu


If Jesus was a Jew, don't see your error in stating that he was killed on a cross, when u know that paganism was far from the Jews? The Bible says he was hung on a stake which in classical Greek, means "stauross" as against "crausses" which is used for cross but what do we know? Knowledge has gone to the dogs.

This thread is supposed to be about Christianity. But you had to bring up Islam to validate the skepticism and the emptiness of your beliefs and practices which is totally devoid of doctrine.

So because some Muslims are doing something against their faith, you too is justified to do same!

You live in the world eat food in the world wear clothes made in the world do everything in the world and you have the guts to call people worldly beings. Yes even the foundation of the world is of Idol so all of us have participated on the worldly thing of this world, some of the things Christains use are invented by people who don't believe in Jesus or God, since they don't believe on what you believe why not stop using their products.I guess we can't do without those products.
Since we all have to accept everything done on this world, is it ok for ur wife to sleep with all your male friends, since adultery is barely frowned at these days? Is it ok for your kids to stay up all night watching movies anytime they decide? Humans are various degrees of life are all guided by codes or an acceptable standard of behavior.

But they celebrate when their wife gives birth and their relatives put to bed, they believe Jesus was born and 3 wise men gave him gifts in celebration but they don't believe he's birth should be celebrated yearly as a remembrance.
They should fix their own date and celebrate it. I can't be part of churches that don't celebrate Christ's birth and His sacrificial offering and resurrection.
What kind of reasoning do these churches have?

John360comng:


God is not a man but islam teaches your god is a book. The quran is said to be the uncreated speech of allah that became a book(kitab) of recitation.

A book made of trees and the Christian God that became a perfect man. Which is better?!

Also, Muhammad in the hadith maybe drink like you compared your god to the Dajjal who is said to be blind in one eye as Muhammad said your Lord is not blind in the other eye like the dajjal. Another hadith says the dajjal is short meaning your god is short but not one eyed like the dajjal. Also, the quran says that your allah has a shape, shin, etcetera and that the ummah will not recognise hin when he comes in another form.

Let's just say you are the drunk ignorant one here who doesn't know about islam and I will expose you for the antagonizing liar that you are the more we discuss. You can not continue to insult the Christians whose Jesus is perfect than your god.
But I expect you to point where the write said said he is short and he has chin, no stomach and others🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jesus Christ wasn’t born December nor even the 25th December. As a matter of fact, 25th December is a date for a pagan celebration in the times of old! Many people or sect/churches who celebrated the 25th December as Christ’s birthday have openly debunked it!
No problem. Tell us when Jesus was born so that we can celebrate it on that day. If not, leave 25th December for us. 🙏🏼

Almunjid:

All what u said about prophet Muhammad were wrong. He's the opposite of all the points and allegations u just enumerated, go and read his history and stop believing in hearsays.
Did any Muslim insult Jesus? No, then why do u derive pleasure in insulting Prophet Muhammad? How would u feel if Jews call Jesus an imposter (not Messiah) but a false prophet? U won't feel good about it because u believe he's Messiah, the way, the truth etc. Careless talks about prophet Muhammad may get u killed someday by Muslim extremists, don't be used to saying things like this in the public.

Learn to respect other people's beliefs even though u don't share the same beliefs with them.


Shalom!

adams123:



You no get shame and you are insulting a whole messenger of GOD ? May GOD reward you accordingly

List 10 good behaviour of prophet Mohammed. As a simple test, all prophets of old before Mohammed obeyed moral law of Moses, but Mohammed broke all the law of Moses and morality. Mohamed married premature teenage girl that was still playing with baby toes at 6yrs against the tradition of the time (you can't site 10 other people that did this in his time) and slept with her at 9yrs. Is that a good behaviour for mankind coming from a prophet and not ordinary person?

He snatched wife of his helpless adopted son when he should have settled the quarrel anyhow. He waged war against peaceful city that never attacked him first to steal their treasures, is that good example mankind should follow? He stole red-velvet and his apostles even confirmed that, do you call that a good moral lessons for mankind? Law of Moses says " thou shall not kill", but Mohammed broke the law; he killed directly and indirectly by consent and proxy. Law of Moses says " thou shall not steal", but he broke the law by stealing red-velvet.

Law of Moses says " thou shall not convet wife of your neighbor or relation"; but he did etc. Maybe I didn't read my Quran well, tell me moral lessons in those his deeds and list more 10 good moral lessons I can learn from him. If you can not list 10 good moral lessons here I can learn from him, then dont drag me along to be his blind follower. Also, leave Christians alone on what they believe, stop dragging them around if you don't want your belief to be dragged into mud also

We shouldn't attach everything to demonic root, it is fine if they don't celebrate Christmas

No one can tell specifically the date Jesus was born, if the whole world chooses a date in December to celebrate it, we should leave all these religious innuendos.

Did Kumuyi and Olukoya know that Sunday was a day initially dedicated to the Sun God in the Roman era? Should they now stop worshipping on Sundays just because of that?
