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 "

in a simple way u nailed it, see people oooo!Sunday wasn't the exact sabbath day in the Bible,but because they wanted to make money through it they accepted Sunday as sabbath day. idiots

Sunnycliff:


Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Jesus rose on the first day.
The apostles gathered in fellowship on the first day and Jesus declared peace unto them.
The apostles gathered offerings as instructed by Paul under the power of the Holy Spirit.

These are why we worship on Sunday

I pity your soul. A willful captive.

Tosinex:
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"

Samanza89:


That's nice. Nice meeting you!...

xreal:
Church of Christ don't either.

but New Year is celebrated.

Sunnycliff:


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

mgbadadike:
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?

Sabby1:
Regardless of date or origin, If I no celebrate Christ at least once a year, wetin I gain.

Happy Christmas Nairalanders

Roon9:
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

mu2sa2:
Make i join in the laughter, the man is a killer on the birth day of Jesus - killer of chicken! Hahahahahahaha.

jcross19:
can you see the level hypocrisy in the church

nairaman66:


Don’t be ridiculous! Since these churches never stopped you forcefully in celebrating your Christmas, no need for the foul words. Do a little research and think why would a person’s birthday be celebrated on a date he wasn’t born?

Learn to appreciate other people’s views on things and stop forcing stuffs down your folks throat! Cheers

Yohans:
always read ur Bible before jumping into conclusion and u can read what the @ sunnycliff wrote

jcross19:
hypocrites in the church of God well the same churches are worshipping on Sunday which has demonic root! some church leaders are just bunch of Pharisee.

Sabby1:
Regardless of date or origin, If I no celebrate Christ at least once a year, wetin I gain.

Happy Christmas Nairalanders

edoairways:

They should have chosen another date instead of December 25th

jcross19:
ahahahah are you sure ? is that the reason they worship on Sunday?oh okay ask your pastor.

franchasng:
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
