Am a seventh day adventist,no root on d day on December about christ birth biblically but we not against the celebration as its ideology its of love and d reason behind it is jesus so get it right

In Mexico, Brazil, and even Argentina, there is a unique holiday known as the Day of the Dead, which is designated to commemorate the passing of our loved ones. Therefore, celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ is not a bad idea.

If they don't celebrate it, this means they're observing the pagan period which Christmas has replaced, what an irony. Op said it's a pagan worship, you people sef, you all don't know better than the Catholic Church.

MrProlific95:
Most of us acknowledge the fact that there are some reservations about Christmas. Notwithstanding, the birth any day could have been chosen to celebrate the birth if Christ.

Besides for enemies of Christianity who want to be hypcrite, they should remember that some muslims celebrate Birth of Prophet Mohammad whereas majority of muslims do not celebrate it

So those churches that doesn't celebrate Xmas na enemies of Christianity?

Most times i wonder how Holy and righteous there are. Hope Love and forgiveness is still part of their way. The main essence of Christmas is forgiveness n sacrifice for the next

Check Out Six Churches That Don’t Celebrate Christmas And Reasons

ospreywin:
they will runaway from this thread because..... Nothing concern our people, they just want to party and chop life enjoyment

Everybody with their own beliefs.
The same demon or idols that Roman Catholic Church had destroyed centuries ago and replaced their memories with that of Christ and called it Christmas. But MFM believes that Christ is too small to take the glory. They'll rather say they day belongs to already extinct demon/idols, they'll hype the idol/demon, gathered all their members to their prayer city on that day and begin to kill the the demon/idol shouting die by fire die die die die die.
Some Churches need to review their doctrines. Not celebrating Christmas isn't the problem, but ascribing the Christmas day to a demon/idols that no one remembers its name without asking google is absurd and insensitive. All powers in heaven and earth belongs to Jesus. Every single day is for Jesus and if a day like Dec 25 is specially dedicated for Jesus, it is not out of place. Let's stop hyping already extinct demon/idol.

Beremx:
Jehovah witness that says only 440,000 people will go to heaven. Who cares if they don't celebrate Christmas?
Deeper Life than banned it's members from watching television, do they watch television now? I remember how our Deeper Life neighbor in the 90s would sneak into our house to watch football and wrestling.

As for others, the look like breakaway from Jehovah Witness and Deeper Life that's why they share same doctrine.

Na dem sabi.

Merry Christmas to everyone

014]Jehovah witness that says only 440,000 people will go to heaven.
This is what u say when u fail to examine ur religious book. That is what ur contradicting bible says. Not JW thing.. I'm not a member incse u may ask.Revelation 14:1-4,

It is not confusing at all but ur level of understanding the word of God is very little or not activated.

First, the Bible made it clear that there are for example 3 gods inside one God.

Now for example , you, ur sparm and then ur baby. Total 3. All 3 from same u.

It is written, for I and my father are 1.

2nd example, your body, ur spirit and then your soul. All 3 different things with different functions but same single human being.

Now., God, God's word and then God's spirit, all 3 inside single entity. Working 3 different functions but same entity.

Here, jesus is referred as God's "word"

Okay. See why jesus is also God.

Jesus being the word of God. The whole creation according to the Bible was manufactured through the word of God. (and the word was made flesh and dewelth among us)

That is why jesus is God.

Now, ur question, (the lord our God is 1) says it all.

Remember, we are discussing spiritualism and not not physicality.

So, if you will understand spiritual things, u first need to activate the spiritual being inside u in order to understand spiritualism but rather u want to understand spiritualism from ur physicality. This is ur defiency.

"for the things of the spirits are spirits"

You are only operating in physicality yet therefore spiritualism will continue to confuse u.

A carpenter can not understand or explain how a rocket can fly to millions of miles from the ground because his psychy is not yet activated to understand such even though rockets are also built by humans like him

Emu4life:

This doesn't make much sense. In several verses of the Bible, Jesus prayed to Almighty God.

Does God pray to another God??

Also the John 1 vs 1 people like to use to prove Godship of Jesus actually goes against the very teachings of Jesus as the Verse and it's preceding ones categorically stated that there are Two God's.

Jesus said,

"The greatest of all commandments is here oh Israel, the lord Our God is One God"

CHURCH OF CHRIST

REASON


A MESSAGE ON CHRISTMAS
Tomorrow is December 25. In many countries, many will celebrate it as the Christmas day while others will carry on with their normal life. If you are celebrating Christmas, here's a message for you.

You're likely going to celebrate this Christmas in fanciful clothes, with fanciful church service, Christmas trees and delicious meals. Some will tell you how demonic Christmas is because of historical synopsis at their disposal. The celebration has evolved over time and it's origin is so far from us in time that such condemnations make little or no sense now. So enjoy yourselves; it's a holiday. But do your best to avoid these profane lies that celebrators of Christmas have been indulging in over the years.

One, don't say Christ was born on Christmas day. Know that "in the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and He was God" (John.1.1). The Word is Jesus Christ. He has no beginning and no ending. He already existed in the beginning. "He was with God, and He was God." It is a caustic profanity to limit the eternal One to His Humanity as if He was only human as we are. "He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that He didn't make. Life itself was in Him, and this life gives light to everyone" (John.1.2-4).

Two, don't teach others Christ was born on Christmas day. It is an absurd disfigurement of the psychology of humanity to sing that aweful song which has the lyrics "Christ was born on Christmas day." This is more so when children are taught to repeat it.

Three, don't say three wise men visited Christ at His birth. Here's the passage that talks about wise men visiting baby Jesus: "Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem. They entered the house where the child and His mother, Mary, were, and they fell down before Him and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh" (Matt.2.1,11). Please, note that the number of wise men is not mentioned. Avoid the fallacious assumption that since they gave Him three gifts, they were three in number. You have given someone more than one gift before. That didn't make you many people, right?.

If you don't celebrate Christmas, don't be abrasive; be educative. The world needs enlightenment not lightening. If they give you a bonus in your office this season, take it with thanksgiving. If someone says Merry Christmas, tell them, Happy holidays. Be nice.

Selah 🙌

Which one is happy holidays? That's atheist ways of disparaging religious feasts. Merry Christmas be merry Christmas

I don't care Jesus isl Lord

Note: there was no controversial on birthday of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) but celebration because some pple do it to enrich their purse

Is there anything people are not using to enrich their purse? Even hajj and other pilgrimages to mecca and Saudi Arabia generally are generating huge revenues for many.

quote me churches mentioned above are majorly filled with sadist as members the Bible said he is the king of kings and is Dominion will have no end what is wrong if a usual pagan festivite stated for 25th December is used to mark the birth of Christ that is the Dominion the Bible is referring to he will dominate until the end

Incoherent gibberish, God is not a Man.

Dajjal was compared to God in a Hadith How many bottles of Beer did you consume

God is not a man but islam teaches your god is a book. The quran is said to be the uncreated speech of allah that became a book(kitab) of recitation.

A book made of trees and the Christian God that became a perfect man. Which is better?!

Also, Muhammad in the hadith maybe drink like you compared your god to the Dajjal who is said to be blind in one eye as Muhammad said your Lord is not blind in the other eye like the dajjal. Another hadith says the dajjal is short meaning your god is short but not one eyed like the dajjal. Also, the quran says that your allah has a shape, shin, etcetera and that the ummah will not recognise hin when he comes in another form.

Let's just say you are the drunk ignorant one here who doesn't know about islam and I will expose you for the antagonizing liar that you are the more we discuss. You can not continue to insult the Christians whose Jesus is perfect than your god.

CatchMeIfUCanMO:

I used to have a very close JW friend back then in school, she no dey celebrate Christmas, her birthday.

Na the birthday own dey sweet me then because I don't have to bother myself with what to gift her on her birthday. 😂

The only church that doesn't celebrate Christmas among the list is JW....
Very nonsense write up.

Everyone will get to see that the incoherent gibberish drunk is you who not only thinks he can disrespect the Christian God that is better looking and perfect than your god as we proceed.


Allah will even shake hands with people on the Day of Judgment!

104. 'Ubayy b. Ka'b (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The first person with whom Allah will shake hands (on the Day of Judgment), will be 'Umar; and he will be the first man to whom Allah will pay salutation (say: Assalamu 'alaika) and he will be the first man whom He will hold with His Hand and make him enter the Paradise." (Sunan Ibn-I-Majah (Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad b. Yazid Ibn-I-Maja Al-Qazwini), English version by Muhammad Tufail Ansari [Kazi Publications, Lahore (Pakistan), 1st edition 1993], Volume 1, Chapter NO. XI. Excellent Qualities of the Companions of Allah's Messenger, (ii) Excellence of 'Umar, Hadith Number 104, p. 60; underline emphasis ours)


Your god, allah is not a man but he is shaking Umar with hands
Is it the hands of human or Goat he used in shaking Umar?!!


Allah Actually Moves

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?" (Sahih al-Bukhari 2:246)

Allah Has A Face

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
when this Verse:-- 'Say (O Muhammad!): He has Power to send torments on you from above,' (6.65) was revealed; The Prophet said, "I take refuge with Your Face." Allah revealed:-- '...or from underneath your feet.' (6.65) The Prophet then said, "I seek refuge with Your Face!" Then Allah revealed:-- '...or confuse you in party-strife.' (6.65) Oh that, the Prophet said, "This is easier." (Sahih al-Bukhari 9:503)

Allah Has A Hand and Fingers

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah's Hand is full, and (its fullness) is not affected by the continuous spending, day and night." He also said, "Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Hand." He also said, "His Throne is over the water and in His other Hand is the balance (of Justice) and He raises and lowers (whomever He will)." (See Hadith No. 206, Vol. 6) (Sahih al-Bukhari 9:508)

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A Jew came to the Prophet and said, "O Muhammad! Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, and the mountains on a Finger, and the trees on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He will say, 'I am the King.' " On that Allah's Apostle smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then recited:--

'No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to him... (39.67) 'Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle smiled (at the Jew's statement) expressing his wonder and believe in what was said. (Sahih al-Bukhari 9:510)

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A man from the people of the scripture came to the Prophet and said, "O Abal-Qasim! Allah will hold the Heavens upon a Finger, and the Earth on a Finger and the land on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and will say, 'I am the King! I am the King!' " I saw the Prophet (after hearing that), smiling till his premolar teeth became visible, and he then recited: -- 'No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to him... (39.67) (Sahih al-Bukhari 9:511)

Check Out Six Churches That Don’t Celebrate Christmas And Reasons

But their pastor celebrates his birthday right? Is it written in the Bible we should?

Please read this

On the argument that Christmas is a Pagan feast

Another Christmas, and the recycled argument continues on how 25th December is a pagan feast, and how Christ was not born on the 25th.

Some things don’t go well with me, arguments like this that don’t make any logical sense.

Let us agree that Jesus was not born on the 25th, can you kindly suggest to us a new date? And since you know he was not born on the 25th, it therefore means you know or have an idea of the date he was born. Tell us then.

I heard this same argument for Sunday. They said Sunday is a day of worship of the pagan Sun-god and that the meaning of Sunday came from the Sun-god.

I remembered sharing a detailed teaching and telling those propagating that message the reason for Sunday, being that it was the first day of the week, and Christ rose that day and started appearing to his disciples every first day of the week as they gathered behind closed doors in prayers.

I think I should not have wasted my time in doing that, what I should have done would have been to simply remind them that the days of the week as we have them today were all adopted. They are all pagan.

Monday is named after the god of the moon. Thursday is for the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Friday is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn.

There is this impression from some of you that once anything has a pagan origin it is evil and it is impossible for it to be 'Christianized.'

Well, unfortunately, many things came from the pagans, including the papyrus that was used to write the bible in those days. The tradition of offering visitors kolanut in Igbo culture is largely pagan. Even Baptism as we know it today as the pouring of water or immersion in rivers did not start with Christians. Eating pork is pagan. New yam festival is pagan. Ojuju Calabar is pagan.

What some of you fail to see is that the Christian faith must be planted in a culture for it to take root. Even St Paul while preaching to the Areopagus in Act 17:16-34 had to use what the Athens have as an altar to the "unknown god", to plant the message of the living and known God into them.

Once the Christian faith is planted in any culture, it uproots the bad in it and retains the good. This is why once you mention "Sunday" we think about the day of worship in church and not sun-god. This is why 25th December may not be the day Christ was born in your calculation, but it has taken a Christian dimension pushing aside whatever it was known with before. This is why the cross, which was pagan, and seen as a symbol of shame, has now taken a total different meaning the moment Christ was crucified on it.

The pagan cross moved from shame to fame, from gory to glory (let me be looking for rhyme words like a motivational speaker since na watin una wan hear. Nobody should stress me biko.)

Wow! This is apt.

EmperorCaesar:
And those that celebrate it won't burn in hell

It's useless whether u choose to celebrate it or not

It's consequential too

It's fine if you choose not to celebrate it. What creates a problem is when you begin to see it as an act of paganism, and thus make that your reason for not celebrating it.

blowjohn:
Colossians 2:16-23 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

What is your insinuation sir?

Chibuezem:
The world is different from the Earth. The world equates to the spiritual cage of sinners. Every christain born again has been delivered from its foundation. The world in its activities is sumarrized in Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of Life all of which are made manifest during Christmas a supposed celebration of the birth of Christ ;a day where sinners advance in their sins and some believers go back to their vomit. I personally celebrate everyday that Jesus Christ is born into my heart.

Christmas is not of God but a conception where we worship trees and a man called St Nicholas however true believers use this Christmas to burn in zeal and passion for the kingdom of God in Gospel evangelism, prayers and studies.

A Jehovah witness member told me today that celebrating birthday is a sin I told him why he said those that celebrated birthday in the Bible used human head and Jesus didn't tell us to celebrate his birthday. I told him that others used human head to celebrate birthdays doesn't mean that I will use human head to celebrate mine moreover Jesus did not tell us to use phones, some people used phones to kill why are you using it. He couldn't answer it
