Lolz, the Bible didn't mention the exact date Jesus Christ was born, but we all know he was born.

Well, that was his own personal opinion. December 25 was chosen partly because no one knows the exact date of Christ birth, also because after 25th the world experience longer days, i.e ... the light(CHRIST) entering into the world (jn 1:4-5), partly also to convert the The Roman sun worshipers whom believe that the sun god is the light of the world & usually had their festive on 25th dec. And i know that heaven rejoice over their repentance (Lk 15:7) and it worth celebrating just like the return of prodigal son(LK 15:31-32). In my own case i celebrate christmass because i believe that Christ Jesus is the light of the world (jn 8:12 & jn 9 :5). God made me in his own image image (gen 1:27), in his image am like a light to the world (mat 5:14-16) therefore its my duty to make peace, visit the imprisoned, help the poor, made Christ manifest in whatever i do. I also belive in the sunday sabbath(the first day of the week) because its the day Christ resurrect, penticost, light was made(gen 1:3) and the apostles observe it as its in Acts 20:7 and 1cor 16:2. I have no business with son god. I am in CHRIST JESUS.

freezer abi na cooler Don misfire this time..

Origin of Christmas was not linked to Nimrod but with the Roman sun god Mithras, abi wetin called, whom the church of Rome or Roman Catholic church in consonace with newly pagan Roman King convert, supplicated the celebration of the birth of Christ.

So the error was made and many ignorant believers and church leaders have continued to treat the day as such.

300 or more years after his death neither is direct disciples now apostles ever observed this.

Everyone has one thing or another to say, brought out from the same internet..
we all have our beliefs...u have read this somewhere and uve chosen to believe it.. what

What I don't get is why can't we just tolerate each other with wateva beleifs we chose to hold on to.
Instead of desperatly trying to harass and insult people that what they beleive in is crap....when u urself beleive in something u read as well..

bobbybrown007:
does this freeze knows what he his saying at all? nimrod is he not the great grand son of Noah that slept with his mother? does he even no the god that has the same birthday with him.?

This is how u get misled. if u go through the bible, there is never a place where it is written to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. I am a Christian and an ardent celebrant of this day but we all as Christians still have to rethink. we never can tell the outcome of this celebration. it could b dat we are celebrating an idle. More so, am not actually giving a credence to Freeze's believe since am hearing this for the first time

So athiests and Christians have the same beliefs.

Maybe all the whole world who celebrate xmas are not right? World aids day, malaria day, etc should equally not be celebrated. Rejoice with those who are rejoicing. Mourn with those who are mourning.

Afonjas:
hmm

I hope you know Tyson's Tweet is sarcasm?

Isaac Newton was born January 4, 1643, which translates to December 25, 1642 in the old style Julian calendar used by Britain at that time to the Gregorian calendar. So, what he's saying is that a real person by name Isaac Newton was born today and he changed the world by age 30.

He understands very well that Jesus is fiction.

Ubdavis:


You have to knw the difference between option and fact.

I don't need to know the difference all I known is I am celebrating Christ.. If your fact is to celebrate something else or nothing please do..

Merry Christmas

U single out Africa. What about North and south America, Europe that celebrate xmas, are they brainless too? That means u are smarter than them. More next research would be to konw if ISRAEL celebrate it and why.

sorry sir/ma if it can across to you as insult. not the intended objective. Maybe you should try to be more open minded and humourous. Life is too short.
And yes my submission was from internet research as neither you , me nor freeze were around then.

If it's okay to celebrate your own birthday or that of your loved ones, why isn't it okay to celebrate your saviou; Christ the king? As for daddy freeze and the likes who keeps auguing about dates and who's been celebrated on 25th before now, it's a stupid augment. God created all days and as Christians, whenever we agree to celebrate any good thing, it's recognized in heaven(note the word agreement) unless it's against God's will. It is nemrod or those gods that daddy freeze are referring to that are in error because before anybody start worshipping them; there's God.

ok nice one

Is there anywhere in the world where people are forced to celebrate Christmas? If not, then Daddy Freezer or what did he called himself should shutup.
'I believe Christmas has been approved by God', if not show me a festival that is celebrated so much all over the world like Christmas.
So, whoever thinks that Christmas is 'ojuju' celebration, then the person should not celebrate or receive gift in the name of the season not even sweet.
Please, I think Daddy Freezer has no job (ise o ka lara).

All I know is that Christmas has come to stay and 'God has approved it' and whoever is not satisfy should go to third mainland and jump into the Lagoon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN THE SEASON.

Don't mind the clown. Let him keep on celebrating as if he's originally birthed today - if it's not something else they are celebrating.
If it's generally accepted and passed on from generation to generation doesn't make it right.
We will still be here when his salvation comes.

Jayslicky:
Must freeze speak on everything, can't he just stay mute. He is actually talking thrash than making sense. Who told him Christmas is for only Christians, even atheist celebrate it.

That's his point

Atheists and pagans celebrate the birth of your Messiah

Isn't that cause for concern?


You'd rather muzzle him than have him talk you out of your dogma

lolz, when Jesus christ was welcomed using palm fonds (ash Wednesday) was there any specific day giving to it? or when Jesus christ died was there any day giving for his death? my brother the festive you always go for did they tell you the actual period when it had taken place? based on the things of the world a day is been celebrated for just one thing.

TrueNigerian300:
Hate him or like him he asked some questions that deserve answers. That Christmas has been celebrated long before now does not make it right if not supported by the bible. Now I am not saying the bible does not support it as I have limited knowledge regarding this.

Sorry Freeze or whatever your name is you have asked the wrong people those intelligent questions. You have asked a bunch of unintelligent people who cant reason with their brain except my pastor or prophet said this or that.

But a question should be asked - how do we develop as a nation with the way most Nigerians think. Very low IQ individuals everywhere. Someone asked some very vital questions and you can see people's responses.

We have a long way to go!!!

i swear

Xmas has been celebrated long before your ancestors were born, and we will keep celebrating Xmas after your death.

Thank you!

Daddy Freeze pls read...

I imagine the dude is somewhere celebrating / enjoying himself too but still decided to create some controversy as usual.

tex73:

"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks."

Romans 14:5‭-‬6 NKJV

Let see how this daddy freeze will end his life... No critics of any religion dies well... Even if you know the truth you're to keep quite and follow ur faith.

AllenSpencer:


Why are you pointing to the gun to your head

Atheist celebrate the holiday, not the birth of the any god.

I will state again, The only way you can dispute his fact is through insult cos am 100% certain you have no iota of facts to counter his claims.

Nimrod was not the only God born on this date by a virgin, about seven other gods were born on this date by vigins. You have access to information's and free to look-up

pls state the d seven gods that were born that day
don't just talk ...give explanation

Like his birthday is not festival day to some other people. He should just be quite for once

Who's freeze or freezer. Happy Christmas nairaland.

johnmba:
Nimrod (/ˈnɪmrɒd/;[1] Hebrew: נִמְרוֹדֿ, Modern: Nīmrōd, Tiberian: Nīmrōḏ, Aramaic: ܢܡܪܘܕ‎, Arabic: النمرود‎ an-Namrūd), a biblical figure described as a king in the land of Shinar (Assyria/Mesopotamia), was, according to the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles, the son of Cush, therefore the great-grandson of Noah. The Bible states that he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord [and] .... began to be mighty in the earth".[2] Extra-biblical traditions associating him with the Tower of Babel led to his reputation as a king who was rebellious against God.

Attempts to match Nimrod with historically attested figures have failed. Nimrod may not represent any one personage known to history, and in reality is more likely a conflation of several real and fictional figures of Mesopotamian antiquity, including the Mesopotamian god Ninurta, the Akkadian kings Sargon and his grandson Naram-Sin (2254–2218 BCE), and Tukulti-Ninurta I (1243–1207 BCE) of the Middle Assyrian Empire.





Biko nu the Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the Lord....daddy freezer you failed this one

But you also failed, because your second paragraph is contradictory, suggesting Nimrod historically never existed and the idea of him was a conflation of several legendary or mythical people

EVERYTHING about Christianity comes from pagan origin, not just christmas.

Europeans were not originally Christian. Christianity entered Europe officially because Emperor Constantine made a deal with christian warriors in the region of today's Syria, Palestine, Turkey, North Africa, Libya, Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, etc, to fight on his side to defeat his opponent in a war. The said region were the first and original christians. The condition was for those pagan practices to be made official and be allowed to continue to worship their pagan Gods as christians.

The Christians accepted the deal, fought on his side and Constantine won in the war against his opponent. Eventually, many pagan worshipers from India, the Balkans, Iraq, Iran, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Palestine, Libya, Algeria, middle east, north Africa, Europe, coalesced and became what we now call christianity. This is why the ORIGINAL christians in the mentioned region abandoned christianity and instead embraced Islam afterwards because they knew what happened.

Christianity is the ultimate pagan religion, its the ultimate worship of satan!.

Must Freeze speak on everything. Am tired for dis man. He should mind his business and stop d critics.

Plz NL,can someone somewhere call this daddy freeze to shut up or validate his fact with evidences like date and pics or shut up forever.
