Maximus69: My sister gave birth na so the husband refuse naming ceremony because they are Jehovah witness.. I keep telling people that religion is different from tradition. The rate at which People are brainwashed these days is alarming. I fear for this generation.. Religion is supposed to unite the world but it's tearing us apart due to false doctrines and bullshit from supposed leaders/mentors. |

MiddleDimension: There is nothing to connect you (none Israelites) with Jesus! Jesus' main objective is for the lost sheep of the house of Israel! Matthew 10:6,15:24 That's why he(Jesus) personally commissioned another Apostle "Paul" to be the 13th and last Apostle purposely to connect people of other nations to himself! Act 9:15 compared to Galatians 2:7, 1Timothy 2:7 So there is no way you can practice any form of worship that's acceptable before Jesus if you don't bow fully to the teachings of the SPECIAL Apostle chosen by Jesus himself to connect you! ![]() |

Great content! but just Christmas is not in the bible so is the word MFM. The truth is there is nothing wrong celebrating Christmas any day provided you know exactly what you are celebrating. If Christians all over the world come together to celebrate Christmas on the Amadioha was defeated in my village, there is no wrong at all. No day was marked in the bible as Jesus birthday, hence we are free to choose a date. Some say Christmas celebration is not in the bible but I also say bible never instructed us not to celebrate Christmas on 25 or anyday.

Thanks ifewise: [b]The Controversy on Christmas, December 25th as Jesus' Birthday: Our Position and Clarification, By MFM With reference to the varied reactions that have been trailing the message of our General Overseer (Worldwide), Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, on the celebration of December 25th as Christmas in celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, during the church's weekly Manna Water service on Dec. 25, 2019, we make the following clarifications... Though the foundation of Christmas is idolatry and God hates idolatry with perfect hatred, we will not throw away the baby and the bath water. We do not condemn those who celebrate. Jesus is born in us at MFM every day. His death is our birth certificate. We will bring out the positive out of the negatives by using all holidays for prayers, conferences seminars, and activities. We will hold seminars, conventions, camp meetings or special teaching services to pray, examine the scriptures and draw positives from the wrong, negative and idolatry practices of the two events: Easter and Christmas. We will hold special meetings to re-teach, re-emphasize and reappraise the significance of Jesus' birth, death, cross, and resurrection. ON DECEMBER AND THE SHEPHERDS Strange but true! Remember those shepherds who were “keeping watch over their flocks by night”? (Luke 2: ![]() The passage argues against the December 25th birth of Jesus Christ since the weather would not have permitted shepherds to be out in the fields with their flocks then. Also, Luke 2:1-4 tells us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem because his parents came to that town to register in a Roman census. The Romans were well known as highly efficient administrators. It would have made no sense to have conducted a census in the dead of winter when temperatures often dropped below freezing and traveling was difficult due to poor road conditions. Taking a census under such conditions would have been pointless. The Bible nowhere tells us to observe a holiday celebrating Jesus Christ’s birth —but it clearly does tell us to do ‘communion’ in remembrance of him.

chieyine:After giving thanks, he broke [the loaf] and said: ‘This means my body which is in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.’”—1 CORINTHIANS 11:24. So he actually celebrated his death before asking his disciples to keep celebrating it.For his birthday he never mentioned it to his disciples. So why do Christian chose to celebrate it? I guess you should search for the origin of Chrismass. |

True but the world have succeeded in converting pegan feast to Christian feast. Did the bible say it is wrong to convert a pegan feast to a Christian feast? Did the bible say we should not celebrate Christmas? Do you want the world to continue to remember the pegan feast? Be guided!!! Godswillnwaoma: 2 Likes |
