Things which don’t make sense;

Christmas stemmed from a pagan ritual, was adopted into Christianity, Christianity was forced on Africans and yet we — who are exposed enough to know what to abide or discard — still celebrate the tradition. Make it make sense.

Nairalanders are mostly Christian, their saviour was a Jew, he was killed by Jews yet majority of posters here hate Jews. Naija na comedy? Make it make sense.
It is time to take a break.. undecided

You know the holiday has pagan roots and it is not even commanded by Jesus Christ so why continue to sit in confusion rather than accept the truth before you which is that it has nothing to do with the man Jesus Christ that the gullible try so hard to associate it with? undecided

Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.


I tell you again, the Christians have the original, before it was paganized. Or have you not read that 'the same was in the beginning with God'?

You sound even more disconnected! undecided

Did Isaiah, the prophet you quoted, command that you set a day aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in the passage you quoted? undecided

Jesus Christ wey you pretend you celebrate no ask una to celebrate Him birthday, but na Isaiah you want take use justify your pagan ritual, are you for real? shocked

This makes absolutely no sense of any kind. Jesus Christ never asked His followers to celebrate such things so how could any sane individual claim Christians had the original of what was never part of its teachings in its beginnings? undecided

In your opinion, you don't think this is worth celebrating?

The birth of the mighty warrior, crusher of satan's head, the mighty God

You don't think it is OK to celebrate the birth of the unconquered, undefeated, undefeatable Son of God?

1. Only that which is commanded by God is of value: all else amounts is meaninglessness. Anyone who knows God would know this fact. God is not honored by vain worship instead you set yourself against Him by using His name to project that which He never command of you. That act amounts to adding your ideas to His Law and is a sin against God. undecided

2. You folks and your many deluded narratives and spins on God's Truth never cease to amaze. grin

So, against God, you insert your pagan rituals into His Law in what is sin against God, then you turn around and claim you do it for God's sake... grin

1. OK, so, Isaiah isn't even related to this in anyway, so why did you bring him into it? undecided

2. Jesus Christ never commanded His followers to observe His day of birth so what you claim has no beginning in Jesus Christ but is clearly of pagan roots, so why you keep going around in circles here is beyond me. undecided

Why do you always use this goofy emoji that's suggesting that you don't know what you're saying?

He is in the volume of the book. Everything is about him. We celebrate the birth of the Son of God

Born is the King of Israel, and of his kingdom there will be no end. This is not worth celebrating? To you?

1. The son never gave any man permission to celebrate any holiday usin His name. The Father never authority to any man to add decree to His Law authorizing such ceremony in His name. Claiming you celebrate in the name of God is a sin against God Himself. undecided

2. Did He permit to carry out your celebrations using His name? That name belongs exclusively to Him and He never asked nor gave any man authority to celebrate Him or His name, meaning your celebrations are of pagan origin. So you dishonor the name of God by your use of His name in your associating His name with your pagan celebrations. undecided

So in your learned, rational and considered opinion, seeing that you have the mind of God, the passage above, the hope of man, you think this glorious birth is not worth celebrating, right?

We know that our Blessed Hope is not averse to us celebrating him. We will celebrate greater when he is revealed, we know this. If we will celebrate him when we see him, is it wrong to do dress rehearsals? We are only practicing, the greatest party, the greatest feast on earth is coming

Christmas is Pagan period. Christmas is an avenue for "Christians" to participate in a Pagan celebration. Was Christ born in December? We are free to celebrate however we want .... but just don't get it twisted .... Christmas is not of Christ and has nothing to do with Christianity.

Merry Christmas y'all
