Legend has it that in the next few hours about two third of the topics on nairaland's frontpage will be in one way or the other related to Christmas.

Merry Christmas Nairalanders!

In the old days, it was not called the holiday season. The Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah ' and went to synagogue, the atheists went to party and drank. People passing each other on the street would say " merry christmas " or " happy Hanukkah " or ( to the atheist ) ' Look out for the wall '

What shud i say?

Christmas to me is a time to love and share to those who are not as privileged as we are. Put a smile on someone's face today. If you agree with me hit the LIKE button.

Nothing... Just a day...

Christmas is a time to be re-dedicated, it's not only meant for celebration. A time to know that the bridge created between God and man through satan as been broken down, through the birth of Jesus. Christmas is not about the date, 25th, cause there's no prescribed date. The birth of JESUS is a proclamation of what God has said through the prophets, making HIM (GOD) a God that keeps His Words. Christmas means a lot more than celebration. I pray God open the eyes of our heart to know that it's a time to be rededicated and confess ours sins. IF YOU EAT THOSE CHICKENS AND TURKEYS WITHOUT CHRIST LIVING IN YOU, YOU'RE A SINNER FOR SLAUGHTERING THEM .

It means F more days to the end of the year......

It is all about the birth of the savior of the world how dose this apply to your life,He has paid the supreme sacrifice for you to be saved from sin and the coming judgement of God,how long will you delay your salvation?He is knocking at the door of your heart this very moment,(Revelation 3 vs 20 says,Behood,I stand at the door and knock:if any man hear my voice,and open the door,I will come in to him,and will sup with him,and he with me.)All you need to do now is to confess your sins to Jesus and repent of them all,ask Him to wash you with His precious blood,ask Him to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior,forsake all know sin,ask for grace not to go back to them again.As you do this,may the peace of the lord come into your heart and remain in Jesus name Amen.Please get a bible to read in order to grow in the Lord,and let the spirit God direct you to a bible believing church,remember forsake not the asembly of ourselves together,may you never miss heaven in Jesus Name Amen.

CHRISTMAS QUESTION!

Q - Is Christmas in the Bible?

A- According to English Dictionary, Christmas simply means the celebration of the birth of Christ. So to put the question clear, we can ask, "Is there any place in the Bible where the birth of Christ was celebrated?" The answer is Yes!

Luke 2:11-14
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

Either you believe in the celebration of Christmas or not, that makes no difference; the fact that you recognize Christmas does not make Jesus to recognize you if you have not been genuinely saved, and also the fact that you do not recognize Christmas or your church does not believe in celebrating Christmas does not make you or your church a Bible Christian or church.

BETTER FOR QUESTIONS:

Q- Have you been genuinely saved since you have been a Christian?

Q - Have you been bearing the Fruit of the Spirit since you have been saved?

Q - Is your name written and still remains in the Book of Life?

A - The answers will only come from you.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND XMAS! (Please read)

Do you know that there is difference between Christmas and Xmas?

I see many Christians typing “Xmas” instead of Christmas, even on our page; many are ignorant of this and some are living outside of Christ.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ among Christians worldwide; as we celebrate Christmas, Christ is set as the priority and the center of the celebration, so it is more than secular or social celebration, but a Christian celebration with in-depth meaning in our relationship with God. That God love us so much that He sent His only begotten Son for us; that Jesus Christ was born for us, for our salvation, IMMANUEL! Christmas also signifies that the world is recognizing and calling Jesus the Christ, that the Messiah of the world; it is a witness to pass message to the world that Christ has been born and you are called to be born again in Christ.

But along the way, the devil was not happy as the word “Christmas” was circulating around the world everywhere even in the official, secular and social places, people calling Jesus Christ; and so people under the control of Satan moved to cancel Christ from Christmas, to remove Christ from the December 25th celebration, and you know when Christ is left from a celebration, when Christ is not glorified in whatever you are doing, it become idolatry.

So, in subtle and modern English, they cancelled Christ from Christmas and replaced it with Xmas. In English, X is another sign of cancelling, removing or wronging something. A symbol of approval may look like this √ or to mark something right but to cancel something, to disapprove something, you can use a symbol of X. This is the Xmas you have today, where Christ is removed and cancelled = Xmas. So where is the Christ in the Christmas we are celebrating today?

HISTORY
If you search the history of the word “Xmas” online, you will see different answers. They said that in Greek letters, X stands for “Chi” but since 'X' is not Chi in English, we read the word as X-mas and see no connection with Christ. In the United States, in 1977 New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson sent out a press release saying that he wanted journalists to keep the 'Christ' in Christmas and not call it Xmas--which he called a 'pagan' spelling of Christmas. An American Evangelist and Missionary Franklin Graham told CNN journalist Roland Martin in an interview: "For us as Christians, this is one of the most holy of the holidays, the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ. And for people to take Christ out of Christmas. They're happy to say merry Xmas. Let's just take Jesus out. – allafrica.com

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ into the world, and more than that, it’s celebrating your birth in Christ, being born again, or how will you better celebrate Christmas without you being genuinely born again? That is useless! John 3:3

Christmas is remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and renewing our commitment to His service – living for Him and sharing the Good news to all men - evangelism! John 3:35, 36

Christmas is remembering the sacrificial giving of God, and practise the giving. “For God so loved the world that He gave His begotten Son” John 3:16. Giving is part and parcel of Christmas, sharing with others, no matter how small. You celebrating Christmas without sharing is an empty Christmas.

XMAS
Xmas is a manipulated type of celebration by the unsaved, though claimed to be Christians. It is a pagan way of calling Christmas, they are scared to called “Christ” or they show they reject Jesus as the Christ of their lives, or they see writing “Christmas” as too long and lonesome.

Xmas is celebrating on December 25th without genuine salvation in Christ.

Xmas is celebrating Christmas in a way that will not glorify Christ.

Xmas is celebrating Christmas without Christ as the center.

WHICH ONE DO YOU CELEBRATE?
With the clear differences listed above, you can clarify which type you have been celebrating or you are celebrating today. The genuine celebration of Christ begins the day you are genuinely born again, and on the Christmas, you make Christ the center of your celebrating, you do everything that will glorify Christ, you use the period to share the Good news of the birth of Christ.

NOTE 1: If you have not experienced genuine salvation that gives victory of adamic nature, addicted sins, and common sins, or if your Christian life has gone low or backward, you can use today to rededicate your life to Jesus and experience the purpose and power of His birth.

NOTE 2: If you have been saved, you need to recommit yourself to serve God better and share His Good news more than ever before. The end is nearer than before. And do not join the pagan to call or type Christmas as Xmas.

God bless you and Merry CHRISTmas!

Speak not of sacred things with a defiled mind lest you be guilty of blasphemy against the spirit of God which is unforgivable.

Be quiet especially of things that are beyond your comprehension lest you be taken for a fool.

A lot to me guy

Its a season for deep reflection and a period to acknowledge the greatest sacrifice of Love from The Almighty CREATOR in sending Our Lord Jesus Christ to come and teach mankind as well as guide them towards The Eternal Path of THE HEAVENLY FATHER AND CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!.....Merry Christmas to all Nairalanders!
