Cerebrate your birthday if it is biblical

IntrovertedK:
I have seen lots of comments both good and evil about christmas.. They gave many reasons why you shouldn't celebrate christmas and how it was a pagan festival and all..

Jesus has absolutely nothing to do with Xmas and verse versa.

We are preoccupied with an idea and practice established by the crafty deceiver god of this world, Satan, himself centuries ago.

Nowhere are we asked to even celebrate Jesus' birthday in the Bible. Nowhere! The Apostles never did.

What Jesus explicitly asked us to do we abandoned and begin to major on a deception. Santa (actually Satan) is the major personality of Xmas. Are we so blind that we can't see it?

The end is near. Instead of preparing for the Lord's return earnestly we are busy spending energy yearly on a pagan worship season.

Jesus said, 'occupy till I come'. Satan mocked, 'Don't worry! I will PREOCCUPY THEM till you come. The Xmas deception is one of his masterstrokes.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge!

BrainnewsNg:
Really?

Note: Jesus never instructed us to celebrate his death on 25th December.

What happened when he said "Do this in remembrance of me" on the eve of the Lord's supper..?

The white fooling us since 1667

Stop fooling yourself and come up with a new propaganda. This stale line has been addressed by the OP already.

It is normal for a person of other religions to be salty because of Christmas especially because of the way it was being celebrated in the past. The whole world literarily stand still for Christmas. This is enough to cause envy. For example, an Islamic writer once write on "what is special about Christmas season?"

But what is funny to me is when I see some confused Christians and Jehovah false witnesses fighting tooth and nail against CHRISTmas.

oh really false witnesses that have debunked the xmas folk tale back to back whilst you wallow in supposed self pleasure and branding it celebrating Jesus.

Then don't judge or disturb those that are celebrating with your ranting. Do you understand what is in Collosians 2 vs 16 at all??

You may decide not to even celebrate your convocation in school. But you have no right to criticize or judge those that celebrated.

You guys need help sha.

I don't even need advice on how to remember the birth of the king of kings, the saviour of world, peace

I'm proud to be a christian the only religion of peace

Becos as Christians we have singled out this day to mark the birth of Christ.It's a ceremonial way of showing our gratitude to God and therefore it is not by force but by choice. Merry Christmas nairaland

EXCERPT FROM UBENEDICTUS POST ON TODAY'S CEREBRATION

Now ask yourself: Would the Blessed Virgin Mary ever forget the birth of her Son Jesus Christ who was conceived without human seed, proclaimed by angels, born in a miraculous way, and visited by Magi? She knew from the moment of His incarnation in her stainless womb that He wasthe Son of God and Messiah. Would she ever forgetthat day?Next, ask yourself: Would the Apostles be interested in hearing Mary tell the story?Of course they would. Do you think the holy Apostle who wrote, “And the Word was made flesh,” was not interested in the minute details of His birth? Even when we walk aroundwith our kids son, people always ask “Howold is he?” or “When was he born?”Don’t you think people asked thisquestion of Mary?So the exact birth date (December 25) and the time (midnight) would have been known in the first century.Moreover, the Apostles would have asked about it and would have, no doubt, commemorated the blessed event that both Saint Matthew and Saint Luke chronicle for us. In summary, it is completely reasonable to state that the early Christians both knew and commemorated the birth of Christ.Their source would have been His Immaculate Mother.Further testimony reveals that theChurch Fathers claimed December 25 as the Birthday of Christ prior to the conversion of Constantine and the Roman Empire. The earliest record of this is that Pope Saint Telesphorus (reigned A.D. 126-137) instituted the tradition ofMidnight Mass on ChristmasEve. Although the Liber Pontificalis does not give us the date of Christmas, it assumes that the Pope was already celebrating Christmas and that a Mass atmidnight was added. During this time, we also read the following words of Theophilus (A.D. 115-181), Catholic bishop of Caesarea in Palestine: “We ought to celebrate the birthday of OurLord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.”[vi]Shortly thereafter in the second century, Saint Hippolytus (A.D. 170-240) wrote in passing that the birth of Christ occurredon December 25:"The First Advent of our Lord in the flesh occurred when He was born in Bethlehem, was December 25th, a Wednesday, while Augustus was in his forty-second year, which is five thousand and five hundred years from Adam. He suffered in the thirty-third year, March 25th, Friday, the eighteenthyear of Tiberius Caesar, while Rufus and Roubellion were Consuls.Also note in the quote above the special significance of March 25, which marks the death of Christ (March 25 was assumed to corresponded to the Hebrew month Nisan 14 – the traditionaldate of crucifixion). Christ, as theperfect man, was believed to have been conceived and died on the same day— March 25. In his Chronicon, Saint Hippolytus states that the earth was created on March 25, 5500 B.C. Thus,March 25 was identified by the Church Fathers as the Creation date of the universe, as the date of the Annunciation and Incarnation of Christ, and also as the date of the Death ofChrist our Savior.In the Syrian Church, March 25 or the Feast of the Annunciation was seen as one of the most important feasts of the entire year. It denoted the day that God took up his abode in the womb of the Virgin. In fact, if the Annunciationand Good Friday came into conflict on the calendar, the Annunciation trumped it, so important was the day in Syrian tradition. It goes without saying that the Syrian Church preserved some of the most ancient Christian traditions and had a sweet and profound devotion for the Incarnation of Christ.Now then, March 25 was enshrined in the early Christian tradition, and from this date it is easy to discern the date of Christ’s birth. March 25 (Christ conceivedby the Holy Ghost) plus nine months brings us to December 25 (the birth of Christ at Bethlehem).Saint Augustine confirms this tradition of March 25 as the Messianic conception and December 25 as His birth:"For Christ is believed to have been conceived on the 25th ofMarch, upon which day also he suffered; so the womb of the Virgin, in which he was conceived, where no one of mortals was begotten, corresponds to the new grave in which he was buried, wherein was never man laid, neither before him nor since. But he was born, according to tradition, upon December the 25th."

in all this hogwash no scriptural backing .. just folk tales with endless words.. if the apostles commemorated christs birth as you assert from your copied link kindly point it in the bible and stop this dribbling.. why is it so hard to just prove from the scriptures Jesus approved his birth celebration and that his apostles did same.. where is Santa clause in the scriptures??.. where is that date in the Jewish calendar that corresponds with our modern day calendar to bolster the basis for xmas celebration.. ??

What people that started this fight against Christmas was actually fighting against was Christ. But they managed to convince some weak denominations in Christianity to help them with the fight.

oh.. I automatically turn into a JW because xmas as it is has been exposed as a fraudulent celebration tagged on Jesus Christ ??..

Just two scriptures should prove xmas is supported.. but no way.. just meaningless write ups.

Good for you.. I prefer celebrating his death,because his death made us have hope and it is more symbolic...

Ode! Where did Jesus or the apostles approved ring for you to be used in weddings??

IntrovertedK:
Well, in as much as we know the evil done to christianity, like the way it was heavily corrupted by the Italians i think we should also take our time once a while to Thank God for if not them maybe christianity would have died even before it was born.. That story for another year.

Now back to the christmas and pagan story.. It was true that it was recorded that 17th to 25th december in the olden days used to be days set aside for the pagans to celebrate their god of agriculture or so god whose name is surltan or something like that.

We don't know which day Jesus Christ was born, Jesus never celebrate any birthday while here on earth neither did his disciples did. Buh see why you should celebrate this christmas as a christian.

This date was purposely choosen by the then roman empire in other to abolish the pagan celebration, instead of celebrating a god during this time then let's organize a celebration for our Jesus instead so we can celebrate him rather than celebrating the pagan god which will help abolish the pagans celebration at the long run and it was a success, so every 25th instead of pagans celebrating their god, we took the day from them and lift our saviour over their god and celebrate Him instead, it's that simple.

Typical example are people from the traditional belief background, when you are chanced to meet Jesus and you wish to resist the day your family do worship whatever they belive in, you might choose this very day to worship God and lift our saviour instead of you joining them, and you'd be surprised that as time goes by, this very day would surely be turn around someday as your family might end up accepting Jesus through you and this day becoming a yearly festival in which your family would choose to worship God just like the way you were doing before they joined you in serving God..

That's the origin of Christmas, so as a christian won't you rather exalt and praise God while appreciating Jesus on such day making sure the gods worshipper are put to shame? Once the celebration is from your heart and it's unto God, you can never miss road.

. I respect view of those celebrating Xmas and those not doing so.It is a personal decision.However i in my humble opinion and from my own personal research into the matter chrismax originated from pagan custom .it was later brought into Christianity to make Christians then maintain their focus on their religion. Additionally Jesus our Lord did not command that his birth should be celebrated neither did he do it himself.His apostles did not do it either. So the idea came up after a lot of sects started springing up following the death of the apostles. Jesus said his death should be remembered...Luke 22 vrs 19..Also circumstances sorrounding the birth of Christ our lord indicate that he could not be born on 25 December ....harmattan period...whereas sherperds were in the bush then..Is this possible? No....Finally I believe Christians should be guided by Bible not tradition ...Christmas is not for christians

ignorance or should I say obstinance at its peak..

It became clear to many people that the church had lied all through decades and abandoned fraudulent celebrations instituted by fake humans and not Jesus himself.. impostors who wanted to enjoy them selves but had to tag Jesus along..

CAPSLOCKED:



THIS POST IS A LIE.

How?

The church is marching on, and the gate of hell shall not prevail over it.

Alexis11:

when anybody puts on rings who attributes it to Jesus ??..olodo..

The ring you are wearing did you tag Jesus to it??

We are talking about a celebration that concerns Jesus and you're shifting the goal post to a metal worn to beautify our fingers..

Come and prove Jesus told any freaking person to celebrate his birth.. the other things Jesus commanded should be done has been abandoned by fake Christian's like you.. it is the one that doesn't concern him and that will bring self pleasure to you that you cling to..

You could see that the catholic church was cerebrating Christmas before we compiled the bible. We cannot put everything in the bible, even the actions of Jesus cannot be contained in the bible as the apostles said it.

The bible is the book of the church, she is not a church of the bible. So you cannot stand something on nothing and expect it to stand. Before the bible, the Catholic church was.

marching on to where... may i remind you of how Jesys will say " get away from me you workers of iniquity" xmas celebration is one of those iniquities.. out right commands by Jesus are being infringed on by you lots.. but the sugar coated pagan celebration is what is upheld universally just for self pleasure...

Christmas celebration will never die dumbass.... Go and die.

Elnino4ladies:




Was Jesus born on December 25th simple Yes/No

Capital YES

Alexis11:


Christmas celebration will never die dumbass.... Go and die.

it will die when Jesus denies all of you in the end that he never knew anything about xmas celebration.. because Jesus was never a stakeholder when xmas was instituted and celebrated.. and for the go and die message may it return back to you...
