Harbioye: Ignorant Muslims or what?? Are you now saying Late prophet Muhammad and allah were both IGNORANT to have recognized Jesus Christ according to these verses of Quran:- Quran 43:57 And when the son of Maryam (Mary) is quoted as an example [i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus) is worshipped, behold! Your people cry aloud (laugh out at the example). When the angels said: “O Mary! Allah gives you the good news of a Word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, who is illustrious in this world and the hereafter, and who is one of those brought near [to Allah]. (Quran 3.45) 1 Like |

spiralwedge: Many pagan elements still exist in its celebration. There's nothing worthy to be celebrated today, just to thank God for life and live your life in piety and piousness before God and man. |

Sunnycliff: We are talking about his birth not resurrection, you said Ignorant slaves of allah are those that celebrate Christmas Whereas Quran recognized him and honour him more than anything on earth and aftermath including your late prophet Muhammad who was nothing before allah in Quran |

God is not a confusionist. Christian denominations disagree on too many things but they all agree on paying Tithe or you end in hell, yet there is no single report that Jesus collected Tithe even for once. But, how does it concern me? Is it my money? There are disagreements in Islam also, let me concentrate on that. |

Sunnycliff: all days belong to god. the bible says god created day and night. Then God commanded, *Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin. Genesis chapter 1:14 the bolded says something very telling. it also means that god's aim for creating day and night would be incomplete if it doesn't show times for religious festivals like christmas. if you were a follower of god, you will not waste your time arguing whether or not you should celebrate it. the bible says the host of angels in heaven appeared and they were singing christmas carols saying: glory to god in the highest and peace to men of good will. if you were a follower and a believer in god, you would do what the angels did, and that's to rejoice on that day chosen by the church. the bible says whatever you consider bound on earth is considered bound in heaven. he said he will honour the words of his servants. but of course, even though i have pointed fit out to you using the bible, you still would not agree to it because your superintendent has not told you to celebrate it. he told you once that you should not watch tv and have changed his mind. what makes you think that he is not getting it wrong today? 1 Like |

ijewejones:do I look like your Santa that rides on magical reindeers delivering packages? I don't have a bag of jobs waiting for Christmas to be delivered. There's nothing special about today that I'd have to do something to 'not celebrate' it. Plus I don't impose anything on anyone. Celebrate what you wish. Just don't deny 'facts' about its origins and customs or act like those people who recognize those facts are being deceptive. |

Sunnycliff: the gloria sang in church on that day is what you call you call pagan? let me post the gloria here for you and tell me what's pagan about it. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For You alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. please tell me the pagan practice here, please! 1 Like |

imolile:Paul addresses this in this scripture when he said I planted, Apollos watered but God gave the increase. He said this when some were saying they belonged to Paul and another Apollos. Christmas has always been celebrated before some persons came with the thought that is idolatry. After all Christ birth was celebrated in the Bible. Christmas is honor to Jesus in my understanding. |

Sunnycliff: I still have not seen where Jesus now said Saturday sabbath should now be changed to Sunday because I resurrected on Sunday. Jesus resurrection on Sunday and God’s command of worship on Saturday are two different things. Sunday worship is men’s tradition and not commanded in the Bible. According to Catholic encyclopedia, the early Christians started meeting on Sunday to remember the resurrection of Jesus and not to replace Saturday with it. With passage of time, the Catholic Church now enforced Sunday to completely replace Saturday. Now you can see it’s the Catholic Church making to completely eradicate sabbath. All of the changes were just man made. The reason for meeting on Sunday can be applied to Friday that because Jesus was crucified on Friday or Monday because he asked us to gather and meet him in Galilee. That’s is actually a command from Jesus asking his disciples to meet him on Monday before he went into heaven. He did not even command us to meet on Sunday because he resurrected. Don’t you think worshiping on Monday is even more in line as a command than Sunday? That’s to tell you people just decided to choose Sunday. Not commanded by the scripture . In fact Monday was commanded |

Sunnycliff:the one i quoted for you is good news bible. but below is NIV genesis 1:14 NIV And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, the two Translations i have quoted all agree that the "seasons" talked about in your KJV, actually do not mean winter, autum, spring and summer, but a period for certain things! so what's your point again? below is from jerusalem bible "God said, 'Let there be lights in the vault of heaven to divide day from night, and let them indicate festivals, days and years." 1 Like |

Bahddo: Oga,stop deceiving ur brain & the society you live & exist in. You are human & you grew up to follow the 'tradition' even if it's against your belief & religion. Separating yourself makes you 'an animal' & you know animals don't behave in such ways(I doubt how a human like you will behave sheepishly) THE TRUTH IS YOU'RE TOEING THE LINE OF THE SOCIETY/CHRISTIANS even if it's against your religion..

Re: Six Churches That Don't Celebrate Christmas by blessingsonflee(f): 2:06pm On Dec 25, 2019 |
If you can celebrate your birthday and even your pastors birthday then why can you celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on the day that has been chosen by Christians all over the world to celebrate Him ? ... on Christmas being a day of pagan worship, y’all need to go back to your history books . The emperor Constantine gave his life to Christ that is , he became a Christian on that day and also , changed that day which is also the worship of Saturn to be the celebration of Christ birth instead of a god. In conclusion as , Christianity originally was a pagan practice before Protestantism came . I put my pen down here with the little wisdom and light I have thrown . 1 Like |
