Bahddo:
just say you need a reason to merry, and stop pretending it's actually about Jesus. Jesus lived 33 full years and some months. He had 33 opportunities to celebrate his birthday. Did he celebrate any? If not, why not?

You think birth day celebrations didn't exist then? Or you think the Bible writers remembered to write about another person's wedding (at Cana) but forgot to mention even one of Jesus' birthday celebrations?

If Christmas was truly about Jesus, how come we have pagan stuff like Christmas trees, or magical characters like Santa Claus (as the official face of Christmas). Christianizing it (from birthday of the Sun god to that of the son of God) is about the same as when those Israelites made a golden calf and then declared that they would celebrate a festival to God (Yahweh/Jehovah). God was not deceived by the naming.

Guy you nailed. Best comment. If anyone does not get convinced with this points, nothing else will. Well done bro.

Yes bro..now,did Christmas celebration came to you suddenly? Isn't it what you already know it's gonna come b4 today(irrespective of your religion)?

In as much as you're a Christian, you're a partaker in Christmas (whether you celebrate or not)..now these are reasons why Muslim think christians are divided.

ALL CHRISTIANS KNOW ABOUT CHRISTMAS,if you/one don't celebrate it,is something altogether
knowing about something makes you a partaker?

Are you a partaker in theft, rape and murder? Unless you want to deny knowledge that these things happen.

Someone like the apostle Paul (and all Christians in his time) didn't know about Christmas because the pagan festival wasn't adopted yet.

Religious folks are much more interested in uniformity and appearances than they are in acknowledging truth. That's sad.

pele. hope you have drank water so that chicken can digest well. enjoy yourself . Jesus is enough for me not his birthday with associations traditions which are rooted in paganism.

This is what Bible says Jehovah will do

Rev 19:17-21
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Jer 25:30-33, Isaiah 66

Kpele. Hope you are not still dreaming of the day your jehovah will come destroy/slaughter us worldly people because we didn't take instruction of your leaders since 1928 to stop celebrating Christmas?

Jesus is enough for me even if it means celebrating his birthday which is not a pagan celebration.

Thank God you did not say celebrating Jesus birthday is pagan


Thank God the bible did not say God will kill us for celebrating Jesus birthday.

What you quoted still doesn't have any bearing with Christmas celebrations.

Angel's and humans worshipped christ on his birthday. Who am I not to celebrate a joyous event.


Keep dreaming and thinking your jehovah will come commit mass genocide because we refused to accept gb bible interpretation.

Well, it's all inside your head/imagination. Last last you still couldn't bring out a bible passage that condemns the celebration of Christmas. The only thing you could bring out is revelation so as to threaten me. Loll.

You say I will be cast alive in fire and brimstone for not doing your bidding. Lol

You will still die waiting just like your founding fathers died waiting

Why arguing whether my Lord was born on December 25th or not - Mike Bamiloye

Which day was Cancer born? Yet the World gives Cancer A Day to celebrate it as WORLD CANCER DAY.
Which Day was Diabetes born to earn it World Diabetic Day?
Which Day was GIRL Child born?
Which Day was Labour Born to make us celebrate Labour Day Worldwide?
Which Day was AIDS born?
Which Day was Father born and we now celebrate Father's Day?
Which Day was Mother born?
Which Day was Children born before we began to declare Children Day?
You never argue on any of the Days declared by the United Nations to celebrate diseases and Infirmities:
IT IS SHARE IGNORANCE AND KNOWLEDGELESSNESS, THAT WOULD MAKE A MAN TO ARGUE DEDICATING ONLY ONE DAY TO CELEBRATE THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
I don't care if Jesus Christ was born on December 25 or not, even if it is on April 13, I care less.
But the Whole World have decided to chose a day to celebrate the Birth of the King of kings, Lord of Lords, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Why arguing whether My Lord was born on December 25 or not. While we chose to celebrate His birth on 25th December, you are free to chose your own date, and buy Christmas Tree and organise your own Carol on February 10.
Thank you Jesus Christ for coming into this wretched World to die for me that I might live.
And I look forward every year to Celebrate YOU on the Day we all agreed to celebrate Your Glorious Birth.
Merry Christmas, Lord Jesus!

Who cares?

They are in the infinitesimal minority.

I celebrate Jesus not any pagan deity on Christmas day. U dont tell me what I celebrate. After all there are other persons born on 25th December outside d so called pagan deity, but we all chose to celebrate JESUS!

They will keep protesting till eternity just as GSK protest comot from JW

Why would you care? Even if the date is postponed to 31 December you still would not care as long as Jesus is mentioned, brain washed fella

Gallantrugged:


It is taught in Islam that if a Muslim imitate the ways of the unbelievers he or she becomes one of them especially, matters of religion. In this regard celebrating birthdays is from the non-Muslims and therefore not our portion. We use birthdays as age counter and other important purposes, and also to avoid innovations even if they are classified good which quite cool in any other religions especially, Christianity.
So birthdays are good and important but, it's celebrating it is not and baseless.

Celebrating birthdays may not be important and you may consider it baseless. It doesn't mean celebrating it is evil and will warrant any god slaughtering/slicing/killing anyone for celebrating it.

We don't rather we hold prayers commiting the new year into God's hands and commanding the new year to favour us.
Then your church is hypocrite for chosen that date in the first place. If there wasn't new day celebration your church wouldn't have held any program on that date

Does it mean if "world rape day was declared" you won't parttake? But are you a rapist?

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

also, god and his angels celebrated it in the bible

Luke 2: 13 and 14
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men

as for the day, well bible says whatever you consider bound on earth is considered bound in heaven
if u check very well all these denominations not celebrating Christmas are the same thing , they are occultic in nature, apart from deeper life ,what God proclaimed and angels celebrated a common insiginificant man is claiming to know more than God and angels, weather he was born on 25 dec or not we choose that day to celebrate it ,even if it used to be pagans day ,is it Jesus that will shift for pagan or pagans will go and look for another day ,some of these denominations worship on Sunday which is a day dedicated to d sun god ,an idle , that mami water stays in water bodies , does it stop Jesus getting baptized in a river and people drinking water , is it children of God that will run for d devil abi devil will run for us ,check well , all these mentioned churches doesn't recognize jesus as their saviour, they are extension of occultic groups ,in d whole world especially Christian countrys , d Roman's calendar that is centered around Jesus christ,AD AND BC ,after d death of christ and before christ is used but all these denominations don't use it to tell u they don't believe in christ , they use - ACE AND BCE, after common era and before common era , there is nothing relating to christ with them, so people should not be deceived just because they use bible ,they deny christ ,which bible says only through him we can be saved.

you don't sound very smart. Either that you you are blissfully ignorant as to what 'observing' a day/occassion means.

Rape is not the same as world rape day. Also the fact that such a day exists and you breathe on that day doesn't mean you observed it. I mentioned that so you'd see how silly it is to say one is a partaker by simply knowing something happens.

If you observe muslim festivals too along side your Christmas, that's your business and between you and whoever you worship. After all, Christmas was borrowed in the first place.

I don't observe any of your religious festivals. They are meaningless feel-good occasions that try to mask the fact that religion is the number one tool of deceit and oppression.
