Six Churches That Don't Celebrate Christmas by Solidkay(m): 12:34pm On Dec 24, 2019 |
Christmas celebration has become rampant among the Christians. Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. But some Churches refuse to be celebrating Christmas and below are the 6 Churches that don't celebrate Christmas. 1- JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES This religious organization is one of the biggest groups of Christmas-Shunners. Once upon a time, Jehovah's Witness used to observe Christmas. This was until 1928, after further study bynone official. The official found that this is based on "false religious beliefs or activities". Deseret news reports that this is explained in a 1993 book, "Jehovah's Witness-Proclaimers of God's Kingdom". 2- SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Just like Jehovah's Witness, this is Church is also against Christmas celebration. A publication from them reads: "We do not celebrate Christmas as the Birth of Christ per say since Christ was not born in December". He did not want us to celebrate his birth or He (Christ) would have told us when he was born. It has become a money-making celebration with Christ mixed in. It is a paga ritual. 3- DEEPER LIFE A few years ago, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, the head of the Church announced to the world that his Church does not celebrate the popular Holiday. Explaining at the 2013 retreat. He said: "We don't celebrate Christmas nor sing Christmas carol; because Christmas is of idolatrous background " 4- GOD'S KINGDOM SOCIETY (GKS) GKS believes that there us no single evidence that Jesus was born on the 25th of December. Rather, they believe he was born on October and that Christmas originated from a "noisy pagan festival in honour of the god of the sun". The church was started by St. Gideon MeriodereUrhobo in 1934 after leaven Jehovah's Witnesses with the headquarters found in Warrior. 5- RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS AKA QUAKERS. This church believes that " every day is a holy day", so there is no need to single out just one day to celebrate. 6- MOUNTAIN OF FIRE MINISTRIES (MFM) According to the founder of the church, Pastor D.K. Olukoya, " We don't celebrate Christmas because the root is demonic " 60 Likes 10 Shares

Jesus Christ wasn't born on the 25th of December, but 25th December was chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. So what's wrong with it? 604 Likes 26 Shares |

It's been more than 2000 years since he was born, we should be more concerned about His second coming! This is very paramount. He said "pray that you may be counted worthy to stand in the presence of him when he comes the second time" 190 Likes 12 Shares |

Legalism is the problems of Nigerian churches, most people have not heard that word before Legalism (or nomism), in Christian theology, is the act of putting law above gospel by establishing requirements for salvation beyond repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and reducing the broad, inclusive and general precepts of the Bible to narrow and rigid moral codes. We don't do this and we don't do that is human attempt to attain holiness or righteousness by mere works, Sometimes the strictness imposed on people tends to rob people oF true Christianity which is more about the saving of the souls of men In the course of Practicing legalism, many of the men have sent a wrong message about Jesus to the world these seclusion that made people to differentiate themselves in most cases is not of God Christians are to be Lights in the worLd, Light does not shout, Light shines. these Legalism is like shouting and it makes us worse than Judaism this is the point where the Jews were when Jesus Came Christianity is more than all these, you can bring people out of ignorance only by loving them not by legalistic seclusion Actually Legalist are the most of all hypocrites because they cannot keep up with true legalism God Condemns all man in one statement Roman 3:10 , Isaiah 64: 6 It is Only Jesus who qualifies to attain Gods righteousness and we must come through Him 36 Likes 6 Shares |

THE THREE COMMANDMENTS OF CHRISTMAS: 1. If you can't afford NEW CLOTHES, wear the ones you already have. It's JESUS' birthday and not yours. You mustn't 'out dress' the celebrant. 2. If you can't afford the kind of FOOD you want, eat what you have and move on. If you don't tell people what you ate, no one knows. 'belle no get show glass'. 3. If you don't have the means to TRAVEL, stay where you are. JESUS wasn't born in your village afterall. And your village isn't the appointed place for His birthday celebration either. Any villager who is desperately bent on seeing you, should come look for you where you are. Of all the things he said, "Do in remembrance of me", CHRISTMAS wasn't one of them. Take life easy and don't stress yourself. Just my advice 83 Likes 11 Shares |

Its funny how many Christian denominations argue theology. A date was chosen to celebrate Jesus birth and they are uncomfortable with it. They do not have problems resting on the first day of the week as the attend churches on Sundays. They chose theologies that suits them. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

It is the birthday of zeus a roman god who was sent to save the world. Jesus was not born on Christmas day. he was not born in the winter. Someone could have picked another day to honor him as his real birthday is not known instead they took a day to honor a Pagan. Do the math 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol! I feel they are highly delusional and paronoid. True that his birth isn't as significant as his death but then even wise men travelled donkey distances just to honour his birth. Surely that ought to mean something 30 Likes 1 Share |

Well more points on Jehovah's witness..we don't celebrate because 1.There's no biblical backing stating Jesus was born on Dec 25 2.Jesus never in anywhere said we should celebrate his birthday nor did he celebrate it himself 3.Go and check Wikipedia this Christmas celebration it's no biblical it's from there pagan origin If you don't believe this...
