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

Are you more Christian than the founder of deeper life? All the church's mentioned are Christian church so who is the enemy of Christianity if not Christians themselves.?

In christiandom, weather you celebrate Christmas or not is never a crime and optional. Choosing a day to mark a day Christ was born for our redemption worth celebrating. Jesus doesn't need to tell his followers to celebrate or not. How significant you weigh it in your mind will form your opinion or basis? God looks at the motive behind what man does. Jesus is loving saviour, he wouldn't have condemned such when he weighs motive behind the celebration.

It is not everything human knows how to do right in the presence of God, but his loving kindness shines on his followers with right motives weather you celebrate it or not. Even ordinary prayer, followers don't know how to pray right, it is the Holy Spirit that intercedes and reveal our right motives on prayer to God for answer. A compassionate Jesus that went about showing His loving kindness to sinners and humble hearts when he came to dwell among men can not condemn certain Christians for celebrating His birth or not. He doesn't need to tell Christians to do so before they do it or not. Jesus is loving, compassionate, kind and holy. If it were self-claimed prophet Mohammed, you can predict him because he doesn't love except hatred, killings, murder and law upon law. Mohammed can kill for celebrating his birth or not because he was full of hatred and wickedness.

However, Jesus is loving, he can't condemn certain followers because they celebrate him or not. At times, we only put unnecessary load upon ourselves that loving Christ never require from us

Whether some churches celebrate or not, the truth is Christ is born.The date of birth not withstanding.

How are they better than others??

Jehovah Witness, GKS or Seven day Adventist Followers who are Civil servants

it's surprising that people say christ was born in Dec 25th because it's never written he was born in December because the day was chosen haba

Believe it or not, Christ Jesus was born and I celebrate Him. Merry Christmas people.

You live in the world eat food in the world wear clothes made in the world do everything in the world and you have the guts to call people worldly beings. Yes even the foundation of the world is of Idol so all of us have participated on the worldly thing of this world, some of the things Christains use are invented by people who don't believe in Jesus or God, since they don't believe on what you believe why not stop using their products.I guess we can't do without those products.

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

Lovemeharder:
And my church too.

which church

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

More like 5 Churches and one cult-like group

I believe the reasons of the seventh day Adventist church and the Deeper Christian life Ministries

Even though I am from an evangelical church that does it, I personally shun it after realizing the truth

I wish well to those who do and earnestly pray that they'll realize the truth without sentiment

But nothing will shake my belief in Christ the Messiah the Son of God

I like what someone above said "Who cares?"

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

Christmas at least recognises that Christ who is God's gift to mankind was born.

Delusional
