Damerry....

Good evening brethren, hope you all are enjoying the festivities?

Restitution I suppose

Happy Holy family sunday.

It will be better if you transcribe and paste the defence here for people to read and contribute

If you think the dating of Christ birth then was done using the present gregorian calender, please wake up. The first, third, eight month as used in that passage doesn't mean January march etc. Do well to study the jewish and roman calender, then compare it to the julian and gregorian calender used today. You will discover that your dating is wrong.

Shalom.

Damn this is why the world views Africans as being ignorant. Christmass means the death or dismissal of Christ. The whole concept of Christmas is pagan and I don't get how you people can't grasp it.

Guy shift joor, it's your ilks who make the world think Africans backward for making baseless assumptions. Even after showing you the meaning of mass is "to be sent" you keep clutching on straws.

Well so far no one has proved Christmas is a pagan celebration or the concept, all I keep seeing is a continuous baseless chant.

Ubenedictus:
amen and thank you dear,

how manage you remember my birthday? Did you write it in ur diary or something?

No I didn't write it anywhere, I am blessed with a natural diary upstairs you know what it means right?
And I also went back to verify it from where you wrote "E be like say my birthday na 27". That was last december.

Btw put on your dancing shoes and do the needful joor

And to add to Janetozi, mass means a death sacrifice. Plus Christmas is in the sign of Capricorn, a sign ruled by Saturn/Satan. The baphomet is also associated with this sign.

Mass is the central act of worship in the life of a Catholic. Going to Mass is about spending time with God, but also receiving his graces (inner strength to live the Christian life). The name ‘Mass’ comes the final blessing said by the priest in Latin ‘Ite missa es’ meaning “to send out” as Jesus Christ sent his disciples out to the world to take his teaching to them.

I wonder how people come about the information they pass on.

ChokolateBoss:
The truth?
Mass = death sacrifice?
Xmas is in d sign of capricon? Capricon is associated with baphomet and ruled by saturn/satan?
Hahahahahahahahaha. LOL again.

Mehn I tire o

. Pls how can you reconcile the fact that Jesus lived for 33yrs and 1/2 which pple commomerate around March or April every year with him being born in 25th December? Kindly enlighten me, because I'm still confused about that,

I have been reading that Jesus lived for 33 years I don't know of the half but I believe by calculation, he must have lived some months more. Maybe you should provide me with an ancient documentation to buttress your point.

It's that day of the year again when we all need to rejoice and be happy with you and for you because it's the commemoration of your birth.

As you celebrate your birthday today.....my wishes for you are.......

God's guidance and protection
More fruitful years ahead
Spiritual advancement and favour
The peace and prosperity of your heart and mind
You shall be a blessing to you family and generation
Your generation and beyond shall celebrate you.
May heaven respect your knees whenever you bow them in prayers and may God harken unto your voice each time you lift it in prayers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UBENEDICTUS AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS!!!

Takara:
If you know the year just tell me. That jesus was born in so so year. Is that so difficult?

If I do, that would be my own thought which might be different from that of the op, you asked for that of the Op, he put it up there and I am not the Op that's why I said you should read, if you disagree, you can go ahead and counter the year he mentioned.

Takara:
which year is that, care to tell me

Read the Op again please.

aim5:
How is it fact that he was born on the 25th? The 25th symbolizes the shortest day of the year and after Christmas, the Sun stays up a bit longer into the Spring Equinox. There's too much Pagan stuff surrounding Saturnalia/Christmas for one to call it a Christian holiday.

Like seriously we should give up a day created by God because the usually is a pagan celebration on that day? Smh

TheoneandOnlyMe:
Are you sure you read it? Or you just wanted to make a 'comment'

Maybe I should be asking you same, he already stated that the winter solstice celebration ends on 22-23rd Dec and doesn't even extend to 25th that is what you should counter.

ChokolateBoss:
Lol. I guess u didn't read d topic well. Honestly I'm fed up with ignorant folks like u just circulating ignorant crap. What reputable historian can u site as ur source? Have u done any careful research or are u just circulating baseless urban myth?

If anyone cares to engage in a scholarly logical debate about d issue at length citing authoritative sources, u're welcome let's roll. I have a lot of strength for this. The fact that an urban myth is repeated 1million times does not make it true.
The theory that Christmas is just a refurbished pagan festival is just a bag of worthless excrement.
Who can prove it? I'll like to see u try

I would love to read your own line of thought too.

Takara:
@op since you are convinced Of the date of birth of Jesus, can you please tell us the year. I mean December 25 of which year?
Unless you want to tell us that you know the month and the day but you cannot confidently mention the year!
You see your life

If you read his first few posts, you won't be asking this question, he did put up a year.

aim5:
Still, I doubt Christ was born on that day. September or March seems more plausible.

Seems? And that's all you have and yet you discard facts?

Just one point "tackled", so which pagan practice was replaced?

I am yet to see anyone put up a sound post to counter the op so far, all I see is simply repetition of the usual chant of 25th is not Christ's birthday

Ubenedictus:
i was debating d issue abt 2 yrs ago, since den i thought of creating d thread 4 future reference, procastination prevented me from doing it last yr and b4 i could write christmas was ova. I found an original material online some day ago and decided to modify it instead of writting from scratch.
I thank God d thread could b opened dir yr

Yeah I read your debate with someone about this last christmas and I have been expecting this thread from you since then. It's good you finally created it.

bluerange:

musKeeto:

So erm, *coughs* we have ur blessing?

Blessing? As in?

musKeeto:
Hey, mind your chicken!!!

Smh

Interesting!
Now there's someone here who believe Christ was born on 25th Dec. I'd love the Op and those who agree with him to counter that thread.
