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 76 Likes 8 Shares |

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 101 Likes 6 Shares |

![]() 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.) #PurestPurity From Fr. Kelvin Ugwu 205 Likes 21 Shares |

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. 14 Likes 1 Share |

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 22 Likes 1 Share |

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 6 Likes 1 Share |
