The exact date of Christ's birth is of little significance. The fact remains that christmas has come to be the most celebrated holiday on the calender. It augurs well that it continues to serve as a pointer to the reality of Christ's existence.
It is very unlikely that i will go to hell because i ate a bit of rice and chicken on the 25 of december.

. Lol

That moment when you almost get to the bottom of the truth then you say to yourself "It doesn't matter anyway"

U claim 2 luv jesus?,did jesus christ eva celebratd hs birthday?or wud u say u luv jesus more dan he luvs himself?..these questn realy baffles me nd i ask ma self am i really doin wats right by celebratn xmas ? cus frm reasearch,xmas has a pagan root..moreso there no verse of d bible whc gives d birthday of jesus

Jehovah Witness aka Ndi uka akpa, una don come again?

Amberon:
Jesus wasn't born on December 25th.

Christians only set December 25th apart to celebrate the birth of our saviour.

Be mindful of what you say. The date wasn't set by Christians but by pagans.

Drclassic:
No body knows the date.25th was chosen to represent the date

Chosen by who? If only you know who chose the date, then you'd confirm that it's a pagan festival.

linusbnn:



You speak like a kid. Christ told his disciples that whatsoever they agreed to do here on earth is also agreed in Heaven because he has promised them the GIFT of the holy spirit to guide and direct them. If Christians who are offspring of the apostles decides to celebrate Christ birth every 25 Dec, then Heaven celebrates it too with the host of Angels

No he doesn't speak like a kid. He spoke as a man. The one who spoke as a kid seems to be you as you quoted a bible text out of context.
BTW, the date wasn't selected by Christians.

silibaba:



JESUS WASNT BORN ON THE 25TH DECEMBER. WE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHOOSE 25TH DECEMBER BECAUSE THERE WAS THESE FETISH FESTIVAL THE PEOPLE THEN DO OBSERVE ANNUALLY SO THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH DECIDED TO PUT THE CELEBRATION OF CHRIST BIRTH ON THAT SAME DATE AND TO GOD BE THE GLORY INSTEAD OF THAT FETISH FESTIVAL CHRISTMAS BECAME MORE POPULAR AND THE FETISH FESTIVAL ABOLISH

Incase you don't know, that doesn't abolish the pagan festival. Just as your church (Roman Catholic Church) transferred the solemnity of the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday, does it now make Sunday Holy as the Sabbath day? No it doesn't. If you decide to be eating your meals in the toilet, does it now make the toilet a dinning room?
If you decide to be answering a girl's name, does that make you a girl? Also, those images you have in your church are not images of Paul, Peter, etc. They are images of Pagan gods. So naming them names of Jesus disciples makes them His disciples right?
If your church attempted to abolish the pagan festival by naming it Christmas, then it means we should have so many celebrations on so many days since the pagan Rome had numerous pagan festivals. Why is it now only Christmas that was substituted?

so you think. you shouldn't distort history to suite your beliefs.

there's no verse of the bible that instructs you to drive a car or fly an airplane so pls don't drive or fly. thanks.

Also, do type correctly next time.

If truly Jesus is the celebrant of December 25th, then what gift are you bringing to the Celebrant? The gift must be in tandem with Romans 12:1 & 2 "herefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.…"

But observe, little or nothing done today references God. Some girls would lose their virginity today and hotel rooms go full.
Many men would drink themselves to stupor. Is that the gift you're giving to Jesus.

Make we stop to dey deceive ourselves I beg.

ajoguegbe:
The message in the event is more important than the date. Sometimes I don't celebrate my bday on the same day I was born. If it falls into a saturday for instance I can celebrate with my co-workers on Monday. Does it cancle or rule out the fact that its still my birthday? My grand mother doesn't know her birthday, is it a crime if we give her a day in the year and start celebrating her that day in every year, just to make a day her special day.

Forget all those Jehovah Witness arguments that doesnt change any man and lets look at how to use the season to promote the person of Christ. In case you don't know, Christmas is one event that reminds Muslims and many others that Jesus remains a global force world over

please try to finud out how they come about the name 'chrismass' i.e. christ + mas

You think like a child.

Have u ever celebrated anything in ur life? If yes what was it u celebrated? Maybe a wedding, graduation, childbirth or any such thing? I am sure u marked the celebration with at least some food no matter how small? Even a bottle of coke or something yea?

Now do u think it is wrong to celebrate the people that matter in your life, like parents? Eg their marriage anniversaries surprise birthday gifts or parties?

Listen child u bother yourself unnessarily when u begin to wonder whether Jesus celebrated his birthday. If u as a person have not taken out time to say 'ahh thank God Jesus born or that He died for mankind' and be merry at the thought of that then u may be a sadist.

Just stop looking for scriptures already, the truth is written in ur heart. Dont think for a second that Jesus is not happy because people celerate Him.

And just hush about the date. If in ur village a certain day is set aside by pagans and u and other christians choose to do a christian revival program on that date is that a problem. Did satan or pagan have authority to own any date in d calender?

If your mind is blocked with bias, even ABC becomes a big deal for u

I read it that xmas was announced in d year 365 ago after d deth of Jesus just 2 honour him. before his birth. u hear BC after hs birth week starts from 7654321 later change it 2 1234567. so no prove that shows he is born on 25th of dec. all what i knw is that.. when constitution (Bible) is silent, culture must be use.

CHRISTMAS IS NOT THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST: HIDDEN MYSTERY FROM THE WISE AND PRUDENT BUT TO THE BABES

READ LUKE 2: 1-END YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER.

Christmas is here to stay, and it isn't the birthday of our Lord, the time He was born. Now, if you'll get on your--on the globe and look, Judaea is just as about as far under the equator as this is above it. So we find out in Judaea, in them mountains up there, that there's snow, my, it's--more snow than there is here. So the shepherds could not be at--on the mountain at that time herding their sheep.
And another thing, He... It'd be contrary to all nature. See? Lambs and so forth are spring born, not this time of year. Lambs are not born now; the--the ewes don't lamb now. And He was the Lamb of God (You see?), so there--He was born along in (they claim), along in April sometime, middle of April, or something like that.
1-5 But this being the 25th of December, why, making it the birthday, this is the sun god's birthday (See?), the Roman Baalim, the sun god. See? And the sun is just exactly halfway around now. And from the 20th unto the 25th was when the Roman circus was in celebration of the sun god's birthday. And the... So they said, "Well now, to please the--both Christian and pagan, we'll make instead of sun god, the Son of God and the sun god together. So we'll put it all together and make it the same birthday and make it on the 25th."
So it seemed to please the pagan and the nominal church then, or the first church of Rome was just... It was just all right with them, so they didn't care. So they made it both sun god and Son of God's birthday.
2-2 Now, the longest day in the year is along about the 21st or 22nd--the longest night, I mean, in the year is along about the 21st or 22nd, when in the solar system the sun is just bouncing over, coming back. Now, they'll start getting just a few seconds or minutes longer, and then sometime up in June or July we have the longest day in the year.
So... But Christmas is here to stay, so we're... We can't help it. Tubeless tires are here to stay. I hate them, but they're--they're here to stay. That's right.
Undressed women, they're here to stay. Shorts, they're going to stay. That's all. They're going to get shorter all the time, so ain't nothing I can do about. I can just say it's wrong and stay with it. That's right.
Sin, it's here to stay. It's here to stay. We're going to have it on and on, so just... It's here to stay until Jesus comes. And all these things are here to stay
Now, I do not believe... Let me make this clear. I do not believe that Jesus would care what day you worshipped His birthday on (if it's the 25th, 26th, or whether it's April, May, June, July, or whenever it might be), just so you worship--you worship Him on any day.
But here's what it is. They have taken the sacredness from Christmas to make it not a Christmas, but--a worship day, but a celebration. See? We do not... You hear people say, "We're going to celebrate Christmas." That's wrong. We should never celebrate Christmas. Christmas is a day of worship, not a celebration. SIR WE WILL SEE JESUS #1-6.

The Bible can never be silence. The Bible is the Absolute to any question. Read Luke 2:1- end. and read my comment on this post.
God bless you.

I do not know your purpose for setting up this thread but one thing is certain;

Jesus was born, he lived, he died, he rose again and I am saved. He will also return someday...

Whether he was born January or October, my salvation is sure. That's all that matters to me

So, you are a Jehovah's Witnesses member. Wonders shall never end! I will leave it at that for now. I trust you will bring your detestable chicanery to the fore for others to see with me.

It's official! I'm following your comments like a monitoring spirit.
Smh for you.

Amberon:
if it isn't in my bible, then its not accepted. now where's Nisan 14 in my bible?

Its the date...

Just like Jan,feb

Its the month of Jewish calender abib later called Nisan.

Chai!

Originalsly:
Lol...funny! ... but my bad!... I should've asked which god you are talking about.

Sorry I lost what we were talking about.

missKiffy:
Jesus wasn't born on Dec 25th, but that's the date universally set aside for his birth so I don't see any big deal in it

Jesus never existed. Ask Science.

Being educated or intelligent is not a show of how well you copy and paste dictionary words.
FYI, I'm not a Jehovah's Witness member.

Unfortunately, Jehovah's witnesses, who are d Chief Propagandists in creating confusion regarding Christ's birth, do not even care whether Christ was born. They have relegated Jesus to the background, to them Jesus is just a mini-god, or angel michael, AND not as God come in d flesh to reconcile mankind to himself as biblically proven. I don't waste time to argue with them.

your date of birth certainly doesnt matters

ClassCaptain:
Its not the date that matters but the Purpose

Thank u very much the op for dis write up. I have never celebrated the xmas as it is not biblical. The disciples of Jesus never celebrated Christ's birthday for once before & after crucifixion. So I can't do it because the world is doing it.

Philadelphia:

Really? I guess your understanding of being educated and intelligent is to insult and abuse other people whence they have contrary views to yours. What an intelligent fellow!

Angelsit:
Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day no one knows the particular day, just dat he was born during this period. Merry Xmas and a prosperous new year
