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 "

A Big fat lie.

Deeper Life and MFM celebrate Christmas.
They are just moderate about it.
Deeper Life is known for moderation in all things.
Go to the houses of the members they are celebrating with chicken and rice.

Jaysolu:
Christmas is a holiday that even athiests celebrate
Make dem spin bush abeg

Only atheists? Shinto worshippers, Buddhists and even Muslim countries celebrate Christmas.

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.

partially true, except for Seventh day Adventist Church.

ZombieTERROR:
Those are not churches.....
They aren't even Christians to start with
They have their own Religion

You are confused.

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.

Is it a crime being merry for Jesus Christ? Shey bi you are God now?

Continue asking me about Santa claus, Christmas tree or magical characters?

Show me the bible verse where they said Jesus had 33 opportunities to celebrate his birthday and he turned it down each time?


That you live your life in fear that your jehovah is going to destroy/kill/murder/slaughter you for celebrating jesus birthday aka Christmas based on your assumption doesn't mean that others think or live like you.


How is christmas tree golden calf? Abi your channel of communication between God and man aka gb has told you that we worship Christmas tree and Santa claus?

Lol.

Fear monger. You guys suffer from anxiety disorder if you don't know it. You jehovah is a sadist if he has issues with people happily celebrating jesus birthday.

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

This is human reasoning not God's command.

jcross19:
that was not the story of worshiping on Sunday go and ask roman Catholic people that change it ! from beginning of the church was holding the service on Saturday so go and check the history roman Catholic twisted to Sunday.

Guy named you?

I thought you believe in life after death, that one's spirit lives on after they die? or am my mistaking you for another person.

valuedammy:
Religion is a scam, a big form deciet, how come different denominations who claim to serve same God and read same Holy Book have diffrent beliefs...I give up on Religion but believe in God existence.

It is because of greed, pride and arrogance.

Yes the devil is responsible for sowing the seed of confusion and different doctrines in Christaintity, but many still refuse to accept the truth when proven from the Bible because of the things I mentioned earlier.

joyandfaith:


continue with your pagan celebration tagged Christmas.

You termed it pagan based on your assumption not that the bible ever termed it pagan. Lol

Whether you like it or not fear monger I will keep celebrating Christmas unless you show me the bible verse where jesus said we should not celebrate his birthday.

Till then we will keep celebrating. Tell your jehovah aka gb to come and destroy/kill/murder/slaughter us. We are waiting.


Always preoccupied with the idea that you all loving jehovah wants to kill people because they refused to join the publishing watchtower organisation, move house to house to distribute watchtower tracts/magazines with angry faces and accept that 8 old imperfect, uninspired and fallible men who err in doctrinal matters and organisational direction are the only channel of communication between God and man today.


Religion that grooms people to always dream of their imaginary sky daddy destroying/killing/murdering/slaughtering people because they refused to accept gb assumptions of the bible. Tueh

MrCuteking:
If a church doesn't celebrate Christmas, does it make it better than others? I know one proud church called "Church of Christ". They make Christianity very boring by focusing on the mentality that other churches are not from God except theirs. Whereas, their lifestyles does not portray a life of a good christian.

Of a truth, God exists but churches are competing against one another. Little wonder why pastors will tell you their churches are the final bustop. What a world we live in.

True, pastors elevate their reasoning and personal beliefs above the word of God which is wrong.

All these epistle doesn't change the fact that you are going to die waiting for our death just like your founding fathers died waiting.


Last last you told me it's your assumption your jehovah is never coming to destroy/kill/murder/slaughter wicked/worldly people aka non jws because of your assumption

The earlier you get used to it the better.

jcross19:

You sound like someone who worships on a Sabbath day, and am wondering how you still believe in immortality of the soul and spirit.

mastermaestro:
When mentioning churches, please don't mislead people with occult organisations, you devil!
Jehovah's Witness, Church of Christ, GKS, Seventh Day Adventist, Quaker are all occult groups disguising as churches.

Clown, Adventist is not a cult.

Am sure you can barely identify one when you see one.

Another willful captive. I will be praying for your freedom.

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

your reasons are human reasoning they cannot supersede God's command for man to worship him on the Sabbath day.

mastermaestro:

If you know what I know, you will understand that you are the one in captivity.

I worship on Sunday but I believe there are things are not right in the church but they have gotten root in church! as Christian there are two thing chain that bind Christian which are Bible virtue and church moral standard . is long explanation.

ijewejones:


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..

What are you trying to prove??

lol. Separating oneself makes one an animal? Yeah, the right thing is to do stuff because everyone else is doing it. Typical sheeple mentality. No wonder you lot are religious - everyone else is and it's less stressful when you don't need to think for yourself but just follow 'tradition'.

Enjoy your tradition, man.

mastermaestro:

Jehovah's Witness, Church of Christ, GKS, Seventh Day Adventist, Quaker are all occult groups disguising as churches.

Keep LYING on a public forum.
Keep on paying membership fees to gods of men, pastorpreneurs/owners of business centres...
Keep deceiving yourself.

That's good a least you have a foundation to build on.

The same way you know that many teachings in Christaintity is wrong that's the same way my argument with you on my thread "Do man and Satan have immortality"? also proves what you having been considering.

mastermaestro:

Wake up and smell the coffee, learn to read, understand and research the Bible for yourself, stop been a sheepie to men of God.

Kokoebapluse:

Not only Christmas is a pagan celebration

Even Christianity is a pagan group of people, who think they re worship Jesus as God or give him glory as son of God imagine that? Christian are funny groups of people, if you ask them who is Jesus

Some will say Jesus is God
Some will say Jesus is son of God
Some will said he is part of God

But they all read Bible but different thinking can you see that Bible and Christian are confused people?

Jesus is nothing but a prophet from Allah, he is not son not part of God.

May almighty Allah guide lost sheep to the right way of Jesus religion which is Islam

Dumbest post ever.

Oh what do I know? My neighbor told me Christmas service this morning when they were leaving. I don't know of HQ, they worship at the MFM at Ikate.

It was a service televised all over the world. No issues but it was clearly said today that mfm doesn't celebrate Xmas I guess for new members.

jcross19:
where is your sense if we did not write the Jesus life account how do you now imitate him? How do you follow His foot step when He says in john 14:6 am the way, the truth and life.... Add sense to the diminutive one you have.

because you fail to grasp the meaning of oral tradition. How do we continue to carry out traditional marriage rites and other customswhen it is obvious non was documented. But they were certainly handed down from generation to generation by words of mouth. That was how Christianity thrived for 300 years without a codified bible, rather oral teachings of Christ was handed down.

Pistotita:
Any adventist in the house who can explain the following to me:

1. annihilationist view of hell,
2. the investigative judgment.

Why is the 7th Day Adventist bent on these two doctrines? If possible, kindly send me a PM and I will return the email. Doctrine is what is killing christianity in my view. The question I always ask myself is: does Jesus care about doctrines while he was on earth? This subject is new research interest.

Is there going to be denomination in heaven? Is it compulsory for to be in a denomination on earth? It is getting to a point where when emphasis is laid on ones denomnation as the only way....then, i start looking at it as a sect. Where does the body of christ come in here? Where does Jesus being the head come in here? I will appreciate a decent talk from any Adventist.

Please, send me PM, and check your email today. As im going to be away again after today.

Merry Christmas!

Am glad you have interest to know the truth.
We could start from here. kindly click the links and read.

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)

You're right, some of people sometimes talk out of point because of lack of research sometimes due to hatred

I am not an atheist, religion is simply man's invention.

You must be one religion or atheist, but if you belong to non then you re the most confusing jiva

Why do we go to church on sunday instead of Saturday as instructed in the bible?
