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?
those people angry about celebrating the Christmas are angry about the birth of Christ that's all. the same people are celebrating their founding year of the church ooooh

Some attributes Christmas to something else but to me, I refresh my memory on the significant contribution of Jesus Christ for the salvation of the man.





Merry Christmas everyone

Bible and Quran are composition.

I believe in God and I know there is God, but I hate religion.

We worship on Sunday because it is the day our Lord Jesus Christ broke the bounds of death and resurrected. His resurrection is the reason we have power over all religions and can conquer sin nd the devil.

His resurrection is of more significance than hi birth
Which day did Christ die on the cross, according to your teachings he died on Friday which make you celebrate Good Friday. But He said that as Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish, so He the Son of man will spend 3 days and 3 nights in the grave after which He will rise again. So do your calculations well.

Either these churches celebrate Christmas or not the end result remain the same...They're not more holy than the ones that celebrate it and neither their not celebrating it take them to heaven.

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... Argue with your phone

To even start with, JW is not a church but a bloody cult. So get out of here!

who created the day 25th December, is it idol or God?
If idols were celebrated 25th December are they not thieves like that and God is taking back his day he created?

Merry Christmas to even the idol worshippers Jo, let them accept Jesus.

Don't mind them, they are overreacting. Go to Bethlehem Israel where Christ was born, Jesus Christ is being celebrated big time.

Even if Christ was not born on 25th December and we chose a date to celebrate our Lord, what is the crime


They said its a day pagans worship the Sun, then is it not safer to convert such day to Jesus Christ day in order to shut the pagans


Whether they like it or not, Jesus Christ is Lord and He is celebrated all over the world, which shows He is the king.

Go to China, South Korea, Japan, etc they are Budhists nations but today December 25th, they all gave a national holiday to honor Jesus Christ as the king and some group are there deceiving themselves in trying to be hollier than thou.


Let them be aware that entering the kingdom of God is not by righteousness but by the grace of God. They shouldn't be surprised to see some people they see as pagans in the kingdom at the end of the day

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.
They should have chosen another date instead of December 25th

See the way you're confusing yourself. So someone can just sit and add anything to Christianity which is not commanded by Jesus and no biblical backing? No wonder why we even say the modern day Christianity is based on falsehood. Renounce this and worship your lord, your creator. That is Allah. Research about Islam and accept before death meet you.

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 "

7. Church of Christ

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

You are right. But do you know the origin of SUNDAY?

Just like CHRISTMAS, you know the origin and won't celebrate on DECEMBER 25th. Would you do the same when you know the origin of SUNDAY?

SUNDAY is even worse because it retains it's pagan name. Christmas at least doesn't and it points to Christ. SUNDAY doesn't
