Whether compulsory or not, it has a questionable origin and why is it still done in the church?

Y is it questionable? Most of the white men traditions were done in d church but not all of them do it in church.. I have seen white weddings on d beach nd gardens.

entrepreneurmic:
MY DEAR, SHINE YOUR EYES VERY WELL, MANY NON WITNESSES DON'T CELEBRATE XMAS, SINCE IT IS A PAGAN FESTIVAL, THEY SAW THE TRUTH FROM THEIR BIBLE AND STOP CELEBRATING. YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT WILL SET YOU FREE.

I'm not arguing... even if its a pagan festival,its been recognised for ages now... so who are you to challenge it... its not in your place to tell us what we should do and what we shouldn't..

I m a Catholic and that is not true.. as long as u have done Ur traditional wedding u can.. the white wedding is just a blessing

U can't. I am Catholic too bro. How can you be considered *holy family" without the church not wedding you? What about Christian mothers? The church wedding is a very crucial aspect of Catholicism just like baptism, Eucharist, confirmation and co

Christian mother is induction is done during reception na. Ask any priest they ll tell u the church wedding is just a blessing and not a wedding, and the church recognises the traditional wedding

Yes, every practice that has to do with Jesus Christ and our relationship with God is in the bible!!!

Learner, look at worshipping God on Sunday. Was it in the Bible?
See the catholics worshipping Mary,
Baptism of a baby by sprinkling water on their head,
Marrying of more than one wife by Anglicans,
The practice of wearing wedding suite & wedding gowns during Church wedding,
Observing the present calendar of January to December etc.
Live in peace, practice holiness, shun hypocrisy, love your neighbor, do good etc.
Stop giving yourself headaches!
Practice what is obviously right & others mentioned in the Bible.
Cos it's end time, so many crazy folks like DaddyFreeze, Reno Omokri & some holier than thou worshippers speak diff things to confuse people.
This only ridicule Christianity in the sight of fanatic Muslims and other anti-Christs.

[quote author=Spaxon post=63616459] FROM JANUARY TO NOVEMBER, YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR VILLAGE PEOPLE.

Na your christmas

I don't know why many are pained about christmas being celebrated on 25th

Is it your christmas .

So you want to tell me you believe that the earth came into existence 2016 years ago and you really believe january 1 is the beginning of new year ?

If your answer is no then gerarahia


We picked a day to celebrate the birth of our lord Jesus christ and we agreed on 25th since calendar wasn't in existence during the era of Jesus.

If you don't like it,you can celebrate your own christmas on october 1

People are pained because the date has something to do with paganism, why didn't the world choose another date?
And do people who chose the date smarter and know more than Jesus who didn't observe it himself or the disciples that didn't ask his followers to start observing it.
Another date and another styles should have been chosen to celebrate the birth other than those having affiliations with paganism.

so you mean any form of innovations is welcomed in Christianity even if it is sourced or imitations of paganism in as much as one practices some good characters you mentioned up there according to the Bible. That's one can borrow from paganism to complements Christianity, Abi?

So the wrong or the centuries past can be rectified now or what? that's what we call aftermath effects of slavery on blacks, so if the forefathers have been fallen in pits due to their low knowledge in an area and they pass the same erroneous principles to us and we can observe their errors, we too should continue with the principles to continue falling like them,abi?
Really, the Westerners have really killed the way we reason, and that's why you still see us in Africa wearing wigs in court and the colonial peoples that introduced it had stop wearing it for long.

okay!

No, I m not a supporter of paganism on this matter. But see, most things we practice in present day v pagan origins. Even the Hebrew patriarchs ll be described as Idol worshippers today. Abraham, Moses, David & Co.
Sunday is gotten from Mars, the Roman God of Sun. But is he the one Christians are worshipping now, No!
Religious practices are borrowed & modified since ancient times. I don't like it when issues that ll bring confusion is given undue attention. Maybe those advocating for abolishment of Christmas on December 25th should channel their energy to preach more on holiness, love, hypocrisy & Co instead of merrying, eating food n sharing casual Christmas greetings.
Go back to people who are against December 25th & explain what I v written to them

Well I am going by the logic of the OP who is quick to label anything and everything pagan pagan once it's not found in the Bible.
Going by the OP's logic, every day of the week glorifies paganism because it is named after pagan Gods so mentioning the days of the week is wrong as well.

she is probably one Jehovah witness ppl, they dont blive in Christmas or birthdays

Makuos:


You cannot choose a day to celebrate someone who never even told u to celebrate Him. Because some men decide to celebrate their birthday Then u want to equate Jesus who is immortal with man. He has already told us to celebrate His death by observing the Lords supper Yet u are celebrating another thing in the name of christmas which has nothing to do with His birth. Can't u see u are a confused christian who go about doing what He did not tell u to do while u are not doing what He has told u to do in His word!!!

I can't be arguing with a dumb person. It's my life and my choice, go and rub off your low self esteem somewhere else....

It is your business and non of your reason is concrete enough. If you like Celebrate Christmas or not, one tiny sin would make you roast in hell if you don't do the right things.

my dear,am not arguing with you but I want to ask you questions
1.do you kW the origin of Christmas?
2.do you kW y Christians choose 25th to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ?
3.do you kW that Christmas is the highest celebration in the whole wide world?
and lastly do you believe that Jesus came into this world as a baby.answer these questions and we begin from there.hope u a not Jehovah witness

They ask him to rebuke his disciples from celebrating his triumphant entry.. he answered even if they stop celebrating me the stones and the tree will praise, celebrate and worship me,, if önly u know the wrath to what you are doing u will wish u never wrote those pöo. The bible said 'woe upon him that through him cometh sin upon my sheep.. What is hard if u keep ur belièf to urself?

Allwility:
Whatever floats your boat.

But if you have an exact date of Christ's birth, let us know.

Ok no one has...so we decided to choose a date to celebrate it. Do you still have a problem with that?

The early apostles may not have seen the significance... but the later followers of Christ do; times and seasons change do you still have a problem with that?


Obviously @muller101 you haven't read John 21:25.

Read it.

Now you did. Ok Bye

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. This has nothing to do with Christmas. How can important like Christ's birth on December 25 not written in the bible if its true. It not true that's why December 25 is not written anywhere in the bible. Christmas is idolatry practice. Be warned

what has been written has been written nothing can change it. either u support xmass or not its has been established from ages and observed throughout the whole world, so therefore nothing can change it.
