Anything not real is fake .

keep misapplying Col 2 vs 16, aftrall no wonder many Christian eat Egungun festival food and still claim no one should judge them .

infact going by Col 2 vs 16 , A Christian should be able to eat Ileya meat , am I right ?

Peacefullove:
Na Fake birthday be that . False one

Peacefullove:
No one said you are perfect am just suprised to see you fail to see his point .

A person's birthday is the day he or she is born NOT another day

Is it not an insult to celebrate a persons birthday on the day he isn't even born ?

Habyz:
The Quran doesn't claim to know everything about Jesus Christ, Muslims don't follow Jesus Christ is that hard for you to understand? You keep quoting the Quran yet you do not provide any chapter or even a verse why is that. You haven't answered any of my questions or the question asked by daddy freeze, please stop avoiding them.

Habyz:
He wasn't born the natural way of course we all know of that. Is that enough reason to call him God? If the Bible doesn't know the truth about Jesus then why the hell do you follow it?The Quran never claimed to know everything about Jesus Christ nor did Muhammad(SAW) ever did.

Habyz:
The Quran testifying that Jesus is God! Where did that one happen? As Muslims we don't follow the Torah we follow the Quran and nothing in the Quran has changed since it was revealed. The Jews use the Torah, get your facts right.

Habyz:
I see nothing wrong in celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ he was/is a great man but modern day Christianity allows us to believe that he is God, God as we all agree has no beginning or end so how is it that Jesus Christ has a birthday? Why isn't the date recorded or at least a given a mention in the bible?

Habyz:
I will take your advice sire and not generalize next time but as the person said the disciples of Jesus were under prosecution and might not have had the time to celebrate the birthday-which birthday! The one that was never reported in the bible? The person also said that not all the events of the life of Jesus Christ was recorded in the Bible, is that enough reason to celebrate it? Agreed you think that he is human and he must have a birthday but what's up with the Santa Claus part, the Christmas trees and stuff, what am I even saying you don't believe Jesus is human you guys believe he's God. I know I've generalized again but it is a fact I have to state.
I hope you don't perceive me as anti-Christian or anything, I have Christian friends and I am just an inquisitive person.

Very nice but here's a quote from Wikipedia you will find interesting

"Although the month and date of Jesus' birth are unknown, by the early-to-mid fourth century the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25,[23] a date that was later adopted in the East.[24][25] Today, most Christians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, which has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars used in countries throughout the world."

You will see that Christmas began somewhere in the fourth century years after the death of the apostles. And even if they(apostles) did celebrate the birth of Christ don't you think they would have made all other Christians do the same and they too there converts and children. If so the knowledge of the exact date of Jesus won't still be so lost? A food for thought.

And concerning the persecutions they faced it didn't stop them from engaging in the passover. How come it stopped them from celebrating His birth? Food for thought

For the bolded part that could be used to defend a lot of things. But you forget the part where the Bible warns not to add or subtract from it. And the argument could also be made that since it wasn't recorded it didn't happen. Cause I see no reason why something as big as the celebration of Christ birth won't be recorded or at least talked about? Even when Paul wrote to Timothy or the several churches not once did he mention it. Why not? Food for thought

As per the verse you put up there no one is judging anyone. You can celebrate Christmas all you want I will not kill or stone you for it. All is this is for you to show clearly that this celebration is Biblical and a doctrine from the Apostles themselves where we basically all our doctrines today. And not something a man brought up years ago just to convert pagans or make pagan converts more inclined to Christianity. When you celebrate Biblical holyday do anyone disturb you? Nope. Got a question just answer as a bonus do you observe the sabbath day?

Mrjo:
Imagine entering bus with dead body, some people no get sense.

Sultan5:
No one said feast and festivals are wrong. The man(Freeze) asked a question just answer? Let me rephrase it a bit. If the apostles who were more closer to Jesus than you would ever be didn't celebrate his birthday after his death, then why are you doing so? Its a simple question just answer it without all the unnecessary dramatics

[b]You need to go and read your Bible well. You lack understanding of the Holy Book.

Do you know the meaning of Christmas Tree during Christmas
Do you know the meaning of Father Christmas during Christmas
Do you know the meaning of Candles used during Christmas

All these are part of pegan worship during the Constantine. You are doing this because you don't understand what it means. The devil has put it into your subconscious mind, and you believe its the right thing to do to glorify God. You keep defending this to justify your love for God.

You need to wise up and embrace the truth

kokomaster3d:
ITS UNFORTUNATE THOSE CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS, DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS IS A PEGAN CELEBRATION. JESUS NEVER TOLD US TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY

i have completed it but the damage is done already. in her people's eyes i can't seem to erase the bad impression.
if you read my previous thread you will see that the problem has been from day one. my wife is so beautiful and respectful
but was never accepted from my family because she's from a wealthy home and her parents are divorced.
how do I reconcile with her when she has said to my face several times that she appreciates that i'm a good guy but she has
fallen out of love with me. my wife has logged out emotionally.

YelloweWest:
That's because it's simply too little!

I grew up outside Nigeria. Every Sunday when u come to church u can expect a hot meal.

With the money these churches have, given the extreme hunger in most parts of Nigeria, why can't churches feed children every Sunday?
Feed and provide school supplies?

Back then I never saw or heard of any pastor owing a pj. But they took care of the needy on their local community.

Why can't Nigerian pastors do same?

YelloweWest:
Running the church should not override charity and welfare.

Remember the words of Christ. If you do any of these into your neighbour u have to unto me
