Idrismusty97: Tell them o, all these "my pastor said" Christians. "Google" the Bible yourself and see if you will find the word Christmas or any allusion to it being celebrated. But I come to realize that telling most not to celebrate this Christmas thing as as Christian doctrine is like denying them the opportunity to eat rice and chicken or more offerings to church account. |

Kenth3433: Did u also bother for proof when op said we spell Xmas because X is the first letter of the Greek word Xpiotoc which in English means "Christ"? |
Re: Why Is Christmas Called Xmas? by lotex(m): 6:21pm On Dec 25, 2016 |
In mathematics, 'X' is considered as an unknown number....Now its like using unknown name in place of CHRIST...Its not proper for me |
Re: Why Is Christmas Called Xmas? by ABBEYsammy01(m): 6:33pm On Dec 25, 2016 |
It won't cost U anytin to write it in full, replacing Christ with X in Christmas is like celebrating without d celebrant. |

Re: Why Is Christmas Called Xmas? by aanufeb25: 7:05pm On Dec 25, 2016 |
Are you among those that say, type or wish happy "XMAS"? My brother, my sister stop it. The reason for the Mas is Christ, that is why it is called CHRISTMAS. Symbolizing Christ with X means the reason for the celebration is wrong, unacceptable or evil. Sure you know that X symbolizes wrong, bad, No, unacceptable, cancelled, Danger, failure etc. Then why symbolizing or replacing Christ with X?. Let me tell you, the devil introduced this to ensure you do not mention the name of Christ during this Christmas season. My brethren, let us stop this evil perpertuated against Christiandom. Take the stress and time to type Christmas or Christian etc. Wish your beloved ones happy or Merry Christmas. Stop following them to make mockery of Christmas. Christ is the reason for the season whether you like it or not. Preach the gospel. Thank you for obeying. 2 Likes |

No no no no........ I disagree with you jooooorrr. "X" cannot be used in place of Christ as same is a satanic symbol. So tell me how they correlate? Pls stop dishing wrong notion to the unsuspecting individuals. 1 Like

Re: Why Is Christmas Called Xmas? by psalmsjob: 11:13pm On Dec 25, 2016 |
zionmade: It's not about a day thing if it's to be grateful to God for the gift of Christ, it's a moment by moment thing that's always and the joy of it flows like a river for those that believe. Setting a day aside even if it's not 25th of December diminishes the value and makes it more like a pegan thing or idolatry. That is exactly how those kings of Israel set up high places thinking to themselves that they are still serving Jehovah. If God wants us to do it like it's being done now he would have said so expressly in the Bible as he commanded us about the breaking of the bread and the cup of wine. The devil has a crafty way of sugarcoating things contrary to God's will by making them look like it's service to God whereas it just human doctrine and self gratification. And about the guy I quoted that you said he isn't a Christian well God uses everything and everyone the way he likes to so let's not judge anyone since we don't know all things. |
