There is no Christ in Christmas to begin with anyway. Christmas is just an ancient pagan tradition integrated into Western civilizations. So no need to make a fuss about your Christ being replace with X.

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.

Because XYZ who I go ask as u ask me

Ask me pretty

Kenth3433:
proof

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"?

In mathematics, 'X' is considered as an unknown number....Now its like using unknown name in place of CHRIST...Its not proper for me

It won't cost U anytin to write it in full, replacing Christ with X in Christmas is like celebrating without d celebrant.

Why always rushing to christian thread. why dnt u stick to hitting ur head on d stone five times a day. will we complain? Nooo

For my opinion i dnt abbreviate it so i will always have in mind d reason for d celebration. though am not against those who abbreviate it.

Why is it that it is only we Christians that downgrade and neutralise our godly heritage and come up with baseless and useless explanations and justifications to back up the anomalies.

If not what is X? It is an Unknown. X can be frog or a number or a Lizard or an X-boyfriend or an X whatever. You have the temerity to wish someone Merry X-mas. Nonsense. You replace CHRIST in the equation with an Unknown factor X. Why don't you call yourself an X-tian instead of Christian?

That was how some gangs of Ungodly folks decided to replace In Jesus' Name with 'IJN'. Yet God gave this Same Christ the Name that is above all names. Not the Initial that is above all initials.
When next you are faced with danger, don't call the name Jesus. Call your IJN. Anofia

Kilo le toyi?

Keep the 'christ' in 'Christmas'

Just laziness, shorthand for many.

wtfCode:
is like asking why chemistry is abbreviated as 'xtry'
characteristic abbreviated as 'xteristics'

jukene google biko

hearing xtry for the first time.
Read from somewhere that Xmas was formed by some unbelievers who could dare pronounce Christ.....

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.

Abbreviation.

More like Xteristics for Characteristics.

Xmas for Christmas.

Padipadi:
OK. That's how some holier than though people v been broadcasting that we should not use Xmas again but use Christmas.
I choose to abbreviate & I use Xmas instead of Christmas.
Last Bullet
And this ll make me to speak about celebrating Christmas.

I m not wrong if I set a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus
Christ. I v been monitoring the news of Christmas is a
pagan practice this or that. Respect to victims of Saturnalia
Holiday in ancient Rome. Christmas may v a pagan root,
but if I choose to celebrate Jesus too that day with an
edifying celebration, praying, fellowship in & sharing food &
drinks I m right. Jesus's birth should be celebrated. We
celebrate his death too at Easter. A day was set aside for
that. so what's the fuss about Christmas?


There are more pressing issues of sin in Christianity than trying to justify issues that are not morally wrong. There are so many stuffs that are right that we do now but not in the Bible.

kudos. no plus no minus. if i tell you happy xmas, no respond, na u sabi, if you know sey u wan spell as spellings be for english, u fit convert ur name, eg; Samuel to english word, that is, Because i ask froM God, or u fit put "s" after your normal xmas spelling.

lol, now now be nice

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.

If you want to celebrate Christ fine, if you want to celebrate X na u sabi. Anything you want to celebrate do so, after all its a free world.

I strive hard to call it Christmas, calling it Xmas gives Me this feeling


Xmas is just an abbreviation, nowadays, a lot of words have been abbreviated

the bible says ''He that do the things of the world, the love of the father is not in him'' u dnt abbreviate tinzz dat ar related to God.

.

Xxxmas if u know what I mean

Nigerians can para for anything...that's how I wished somebody merry Xmas and he told me he doesn't know anything like Xmas...

If not what is X? It is an Unknown. X can be frog or a number or a Lizard or an X-boyfriend or an X whatever. You have the temerity to wish someone Merry X-mas. Nonsense. You replace CHRIST in the equation with an Unknown factor X. Why don't you call yourself an X-tian instead of Christian?

That was how some gangs of Ungodly folks decided to replace In Jesus' Name with 'IJN'. Yet God gave this Same Christ the Name that is above all names. Not the Initial that is above all initials.

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.

alatbaba1:

The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, which in English is "Christ". The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass.

So you mean to tell me that the "X" that I know for how many years now is actually the abbreviation for "Christ"

Oh, so dat means that
X-ray = Christ-ray

hmm-hmm, okay, I see, OP kwantinew

But before you go, let me pray for you

Oya knell down, fast!!!!! Faster!!!!!!!

Shout Jesus Christ, shout loud!!!!!!! Louder!!!!!

Say every power that is using my sense to be playing X and O which now allows me to be easily brainwashed, father let such power catch fire now In The Mighty Name of Jesus.

Amen.

Peace be unto you.
