iyamchee:You just refuse to accept wisdom..for reasons I know not..for the umpteenth time, NO pagan god owns any day of the week! Not then, not now and not ever! If you claim to be a Christian, then your aim and sole purpose should be to convert..that means converting all the pervertion of the devil..I gave you example of how Paul converted idol worshippers using an unknown idolised statue which they made..he did it on the very day they worship those idols..he didn't say "I will convert them on another day that is not marked out for idol worship"... 1 Like |

iyamchee: Since we took the decision to set it on a day which you say belongs to pagan gods, we have been able to concert those pagans and also overshadowed their celebrations. Today, people don't even celebrate those gods anymore. All they do is celebrate Christmas. Muslims, Buddhist, unbelievers etc all celebrate Christmas, and from there we preach to them . 2 Likes |

alBHAGDADI: Show me where Jesus instructed you to celebrate Christmas. If you can't find it, then it means you are speaking when God hasn't spoken. You will be severely punished for that. |

Yawn. Christmas is a PAGAN Festival white washed with another PAGAN celebration called the virgin birth of Jesus which. Thoroughly and completely Pagan. History completely debunks your fallacious delusion. No one is saying you should not love God , but get off your ass and start making strides in science, technology and develop your societies. What has your celebration of this PAGAN festival done to cure our land from the stain of blood caused by wanton kidnapping, robbery, scamming pastors and all out wickedness. Come out of delusion land and do something to improve the lot of Nigerians. Christmas is a PAGAN festival, ![]() |

iyamchee: Deeper Life Bible Church built their headquarters in a former evil forest in Gbagada hence by your definition, their prayers will forever be ignored. Get off your high horse and understand that God owns the days, the earth and the fullness thereof and they that dwell therein. Go and read the new testament commandments in respect on holy days. 1 Like |

1. CHRISTMAS WAS NEVER CELEBRATED BY EARLY CHRISTIANS 300 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST. 2. WHY WAS IT NOT CELEBRATED BY THE EARLY CHRISTIANS? 3. CHRISTMAS WAS AN INVENTION OF A PAGANIZED APOSTATE CHRISTIAN CHURCH LED BY ROMAN EMPEROR CONSTANTINE AROUND 325-336CE. 4. JESUS TOLD US TO FOLLOW HIS COMMANDMENTS AND STEP NOT COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. 1JOHN.5v2-3. 5. APOSTLE PAUL TOLD US THAT ANYONE WHO PUSHES AHEAD AND DOES NOT REMAIN IN THE TEACHINGS, (COMMANDMENTS) OF CHRIST DOES NOT HAVE GOD. HE TOLD US NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH SUCH BE IT CHURCH OR HUMAN. 2JOHN9-10. 6. APOSTLES PAUL WARNED GALATIANS THAT IF ANYONE BRINGS IN ANOTHER DOCTRINE, TEACHING BE IT CELEBRATION, AS LONG AS IT IS SOMETHING THAT GOES WITH WORSHIP OF GOD, IF IT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY RECEIVED FROM THEM, THE APOSTLES OF OLD OR CHRIST, LET THE PERSON BE ACCURSED. GAL.1.v6-9 7. THE ONLY CELEBRATION OR THING JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO DO IS REMEMBRANCE OF HIS DEATH WITH HOLY COMMUNION. LUKE 22v19. WHY INVENTING MORE? 8. WHY DID APOSTLE PAUL TEACH CORINTHIANS CHRISTIANS NOT TO UNEVENLY YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS? 2COR.6v14. 9. WHY DID APOSTLE PAUL TEACH CORINTHIAN CHRISTIANS 'WHAT FELLOWSHIP DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LAWLESSNESS HAVE? 2 COR. 6v14 10.WHY DID APOSTLE PAUL TEACH THEM 'WHAT SHARING DOES LIGHT HAVE WITH DARKNESS? ( WHAT SHARING DOES SUN GOD BIRTHDAT CELEBRATION TO DO WITH CHRIST BIRTH) 2COR.6v14 11.WHY DID APOSTLE PAUL TEACH THEM 'WHAT HARMONY IS THERE BETWEEN CHRIST AND BELIAL? OR WHAT DOES A BELIEVER SHARE IN COMMON WITH AN UNBELEIVER? (WHAT HARMONY DOES CHRIST WITH SUN GOD BIRTHDAY WORSHIP?) 2COR.6v15. 12. CHRISTMAS IS SUN GOD WORSHIP RENAMED. ANYBODY TEACHING OTHERWISE IS ANTI CHRIST.... 2Peter 2v1-3 read However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you. These will quietly bring in destructive sects and they will even disown the owner who bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves. Furthermore, many will follow their brazen conduct, and because of them the way of the truth will be spoken abusively. Also they will greedily exploit you with counterfeit words. But their judgement, decided long ago, is not moving slowly and their destruction is not sleeping. AM VERY SORRY THE WRITER OF THE ABOVE ARTICLE SHOULD WITHDRAW THE ARTICLE BECAUSE IT IS CRAFTILY DESIGNED WITH MANIPULATIONS OF HOLY SCRIPTURES TO BACK UP A PAGAN FESTIVAL RENAMED. I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE WRITER IS IN ERROR WITHOUT KNOWING. TRUE CHRISTIANS ONLY FOLLOW JESUS AND APOSTLES TEACHINGS, ANY OTHER IS COMPLETELY ANTI CHRIST TEACHING. 1 Like 1 Share |

If Christians have successfully converted the days of the week into celebrating and worshipping God, then it's a BIG achievement...that Christ is celebrated while an unknown pagan deity was pushed into oblivion..it is actually a victory for the gospel and the name of Christ... 1 Like |

LuciferCatholic: You misunderstood my saying that it happened to fall... We Christians chose that day because we saw the possibility and good it will bring. Since our decision to pick that day, many pagans have been converted. Today, only haters like you remember December 25th as a pagan day. Pagans of today don't even celebrate December 25th because they've been conquered by Christianity. Jesus is now the reason for the season. Constantine never forced December 25tj on Christians. Rather it was Christians that chose the day. Saying he forced it is the same as saying Christians will stupidly accept the mark of the beast when the Antichrist forces it. The Bible days we won't. |

Re: Don't Let Anyone Lie To You That Christmas Is A Pagan Festival by ItsTime4me(m): 11:09am On Dec 23, 2018 |
alBHAGDADI:You agreed in one of your posts that Christians converted the day the pagans were celebrating their pagan god, December 25, to the day for Christmas celebration. In other words, you changed the name from celebration of SUN god to the celebration of the birth of JESUS CHRIST. Is it not similar to what the Israelites did, in changing the festival to FALSE gods to the festival of JEHOVAH? Please read Exodus 32:4-10 again. 2Corinthians 6:14-18 says: What fellowship do unrighteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God's temple have with idols?........ Therefore get out from among them and separate yourselves, says Jehovah, and quit touching the unclean thing and I will take you in........." So a person who has genuine love for God will break free from practices with unchristian undertones. True Christians should not celebrate Christmas simply because it has a paganic undertone and the precedence set forth in the book of Exodus confirms that. 1 Like |

MadamExcellency: Oga, still doesn't change the fact that our system of counting days and time were designed by pagan humans....... God owns the days I'm totally in agreement. But the average Igbo man believes in the market day system which belonged to some certain god to different days. If God had brought a system we probably won't be arguing about this |

LuciferCatholic: Show me where Jesus instructed us NOT to celebrate Christmas. Since we both cant find anywhere such is written in the Bible, then it means it is not a sin celebrating it. Same thing applies with naming ceremonies. Nowhere are we told by the Bible to celebrate naming ceremonies, yet we do. The reason we do is because the Bible doesn't kick against it. You speaking against such celebrations when the Bible hasn't spoken is the same as speaking when God hasn't spoken. 1 Like |

alBHAGDADI: Christians did not choose December 25th. Stop lying and twisting facts. Emperor Constantine of Rome passed a decree in 336AD declaring Deember 25th as Christmas Day in a bid to end the rioting that threatened to tear his empire into two. Please stop lying publicly. This is exactly why Christians like you are called uneducated. You do not bother to read your own history. |

ItsTime4me: Stop being smart by half. What the Israelite did is quite different from what Christians are doing today. The Israelites molded a calf of gold and bowed before it on worship. What will you say we now before when we celebrate Christmas? If at all you have anytjingnto point to, it is Jesus whom we celebrate on Christmas day. You have quoted wrongly the passage in Corinthians. We are not mixing our celebrations with pagan festivals. We simply initiated our own celebration and it has since swallowed theirs onto oblivion. |
Re: Don't Let Anyone Lie To You That Christmas Is A Pagan Festival by LuciferCatholic: 11:17am On Dec 23, 2018 |
alBHAGDADI: So you cannot defend your own beliefs? You have been very good at quoting Bible verses so far. Quote me a Bible verse where Jesus Christ instructed his followers to celebrate Christmas. Simple. |
