Sarang:Lol... you not serious!..... are you saying God never knew the world was going to be this way? There's a book of the Bible named Revelations... I guess you haven't gotten there as yet! |

BlackHummer: That is what you think but ask yourself, is this how God sees it? That whatever is done in the name of the Lord overrides whatever event is being honored on that day. Can you back this up with the Bible. The sabbath you mentioned was originated by God, it is holy. So, it doesn't fit in this context. |

Maximus85: I'll advice that u read the whole of Romans 14. Digest and understand it under the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit |

Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by BlackHummer(m): 1:43pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Maximus85: And what makes you confident that what I think is wrong? Anyway...that's your opinion. 1. Matt 18:18 whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. This was clearly reflected when Paul went to Athens and found them worshipping an idol. The altar was captioned 'to an unknown' God. From this base point, he turned things around by referring to God as the unknown being they were worshipping. When ever a christian blesses anything, he exercises authority over that thing because he is backed up by a higher governing council. 2. Col 2:16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect to an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. Paul proclaimed the believers authority on earth because of Christ. There are several scriptures I'd like to highlight but its best u get the revelation your self. Study 1cor8, Rom 14. Christianity is bigger than these things. The authority we wield gives us freedom. What ever is done should be done out of revelation and faith. If one considers a day to be holy, let him be because he is doing it to honour God. If another man considers it to be unholy, let him be because he is doing it out of reverence for God. Don't let your belief system stop another man from pleasing God. This is the love and freedom christ provides and speaks of. |

Amberon: Nissan 14 is a date. It's a day in Jesus' life, close to his death. You need more info, we will open the Bible and show you. Not like people who speak and teach only from their personal perceptions and understanding. |

Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Sarang(f): 1:56pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Amberon: I am. Nisan 14 formerly the passover as of 33 C.E became a day of remembrance of Jesus death. I explained before. |

Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Maximus85(m): 2:02pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
BlackHummer: I don't need to read it. I have studied it and I have full understanding of the whole chapter. I am not judging nobody.... 14:10,13 You are responsible for how you worship God.. 14:12 You should study from verse 17 downward... You need it. Verse 20 says: anything not based on faith is a sin. If you doubt it lasan, when it comes to spiritual things, DON'T DO IT. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by BlackHummer(m): 2:15pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Maximus85: I am so glad u've studied it and even noted as from verse 17 downwards. But on going through your previous mentions, I wonder why it was difficult for you to see my point. But notwithstanding, I pray for better insight. Cheers. |

abangaLEE:Is greeting Christians or others with the traditional Christmas greeting “merry Christmas” or “happy Christmas” permissible in Islam? It is not permissible for a Muslim to greet Christians with the traditional Christmas greeting because it means celebrating the day of “God’s” birth – a concept absolutely abhorrent to Muslims and in direct contradiction to the Qur’aanic verse, “He (Allah) did not give birth nor was He born.” (Qur'an 112:3) The date of birth of Prophet Jesus, like that of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them both) was unknown and it was chosen to match the Saturnalia, the festival of the harvest dedicated to the Roman god of the harvest, Saturn. Christians did not celebrate the birth of Christ for the first 3 centuries after Jesus’ departure because birthday celebration was a known pagan practice. Similarly, Muslims did not celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s birthday until 4 centuries after his death. The practice was started on a state scale by the Fatimid Shi’ite caliphate in Egypt and the date of the Prophet’s death was chosen for the celebration. 1 Like 1 Share |

linusbnn:You can as well decide to go to church on Thursday or Saturday instead of Sunday. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Originalsly: 2:34pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Sarang:Lol...funny! ... but my bad!... I should've asked which god you are talking about. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Nobody: 2:41pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
lots of assumptions OP. I will rather stick to the date provided by the Church, thank you. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by linusbnn(m): 2:45pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Readwarn: Christians worship on sunday so I can't change it. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by masqot(m): 3:11pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
How did this make front page? It's not a well I articulated write-up right from the choice of the topic. Whatever, we Christians are remembering the birth of Jesus. Shallom! |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Chynwe(f): 3:11pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
jesus wasn't actually born on Christmas Day, the Jews used to celebrate the birthday of the God of sun . wen they were converted to Christians, they said let's convert d's day fr d God of the sun and worship the almighty creator Jesus christ and it was on 25th December |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by ndubisik(m): 3:14pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
veraiyke: Don't talk like a Jew. Nobody alive has a record of when exactly Jesus was born, unlike you who has a birth certificate. Simple |

Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by veraiyke(m): 3:34pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
You have the Bible. You have history,weather features and chronology to tell you all that. Or are you the only who doesn't know that even some catholic and non catholic priests have even said it that isn't december 25th but that the date came to be in time and for a reason? ndubisik: |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by Amberon: 3:39pm On Dec 25, 2015 |

Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by sivel(m): 4:02pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
The exact date of Christ's birth is of little significance. The fact remains that christmas has come to be the most celebrated holiday on the calender. It augurs well that it continues to serve as a pointer to the reality of Christ's existence. It is very unlikely that i will go to hell because i ate a bit of rice and chicken on the 25 of december. |
Re: Was Jesus Born On Christmas Day? by bee444: 4:36pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
Jesus was born on Christmas but not the actual date. A date has to be fixed. And a special day has to be agreed. Birth record couldnt be traced. But the season and year was known. 1 Like 1 Share |
