Xmas is useless

Is not in the bible

Jesus didn't ask any one to celebrate his born day.


The only thing we all owe God is to keep his commandments and love our neighbors as our selves.

Simple.

Easter, Xmas are all useless and invented by men

larj:
Human beings and comparison. Why don't we ask God which one he prefers the most. Same way you'll soon ask between the Holy Spirit and Jesus who do you prefer. Both are important no basis for comparison be grateful for the birth as it marks divinity taking on humanity. First of it's kind. The death is the awakening of son's and daughter's. The two comes together it's a complete package. Leave the comparison alone bikonu. You won't find anything meaningful at the end of it. Merry Christmas to everyone.

johnmba:
Which of the 2 is more important in the Christian world.

Can someone explain with reasons

Monday60655:
The simple truth is that His death is biblical as recorded in the Bible. Whereas the birthday those who chose to celebrate do is not recorded in the Bible that He was born on 25th December. Like we do in MFM, we re not against those who chose to celebrate Christmas, wbut we don't do so.

greatjoey:


We often get ourselves stuck in unnecessary hurdles. Those who celebrate Christmas do not say Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December. Though the actual date waa not given in the holy bible, it is an wstablished fact that he was born. As a result, the early faithfuls decided to fix a date to commemorate his birth. The bible days, whatever is done in his name here on earth is accepted in heaven. The same bible says those who are not against is are with us. It may be of pagan origin as some school of thought. However, the emphasis is that, do you celebrate Christmas as a pagan. Do mention or pay to any idol in celebrating Christmas? If pagans started it as they say and they see it as idolatry, who told them that the cloth they wear, the car they drive, the TV they watch, the GSM they use were all invented by saints? Thank you.

0 and 1 which one comes first in number scale?


Modified
One definitely needs to come before the other, and in this case, he has to be given birth to before his death.
Therefore no one overshadows other, they rather compliment each other...

Emusan:


Your eternity doesn't come from Christ death rather from Christ resurrection....

Resurrection is the basis of Christianity....

Jesus celebrated passover in nissan 14, after passover he introduced lord super. passover used to be marked on nissan 14 .
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk is the LORD's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work. And ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work. ( Leviticus 23:5–8

Emusan:


Yet you claim He died on Nisan 14....

So to you what is easter?

Emusan:


The root of Christmas is the birth of Christ and the most important event that brings hope for everyone "The death & resurrection of Christ"

How does these pagan?

Which one do you have problem with....
1. The day The Birth of Christ is being celebrated or The actual Birthday of Christ itself?
2. The day Resurrection of Christ is being celebrated or the Death & Resurrection itself?

CAPTIVATOR:
The early Christians view the celebration of anyone's birthday as a pagan custom . Many encyclopedias testify to this.

Even in the Bible, No servant of God celebrated their birthday . Even Jesus himself didn't , so where do you get your idea from ?

CAPTIVATOR:
Did Jesus ask you to celebrate his ressurection?

Or was he ressurected on Nissan 14 too?

U wonder how Easter even came about for people who don't believe Jesus died talkless of been ressurected. Na im flesh die, not him.

CAPTIVATOR:
What was ressurected , Jesus or ordinary body ?

Dem dey ressurect soul wey no die ?

Emusan:


Did Jesus ask you NOT to celebrate His resurrection?



No be only Nissan na Toyota....

And who says He resurrected on Nisan 14




Easter is the celebration of the RISEN LORD JESUS, how is that your headache?

CAPTIVATOR:


So he wasn't ressurected on Nisan 14, why are you now trying to weave Easter with Memorial ?

Men gave the command of Easter not GOD!

Emusan:


Can you provide a proved data for this?

There are many things you're doing today and weren't recorded in the Bible....so spare us that!

If Jesus didn't...
Did Jesus say you shouldn't do it or where did Jesus condemn it?

Emusan:


What is memorial?

What is easter?

CAPTIVATOR:
World book Encyclopedia state " The early Christians did not celebrate His [Christ's] birth because they considered the celebration of anyone's birth to be a pagan custom."

How can Jesus condemn in the Bible something none of his apostles or early followers never attempted ?

CAPTIVATOR:
Luke 22:19,20 Lord's evening meal . As commanded : Do this in remembrance of me

A teaching not commanded by Jesus , celebration of his ressurection .

Have you forgotten Matt 28:19,20 Teach them to observe what ? All the things Jesus command.


Where did Jesus command Easter ?

Emusan:


Provide the link...Hypocrite!

So Jesus never heard of Birthday celebration before He died...Yet He condemned many Pharisees and Sadducees attitudes or are they not celebrating birthday

CAPTIVATOR:
Check Wikipedia and Brittanica too

For reference of the world book encyclopedia

WB Encyclopedia (volume 3, page 416) . That's the reference page . Go and do your assignment and get it.

Are they not Jews ? Jews refrain from such practices due to their pagan sources .

Emusan:


Provide the link here....Hypocrite!

So Jews are now our standard to know what is right. Continue.....

My point is, why Jesus didn't condemn it when He knows about it? Since He is aware of it before He died because [b]your point was, Jesus can't condemn what the apostles or early Christians didn't do.

Emusan:


We can as well say you're celebrating the Christ death, right?



Where does Jesus command you to celebrate your Graduation?

Besides, You can use the word REMEMBRANCE in place of CELEBRATION so that your confusion can be cured.

Also, Christ resurrection established the Lord's Day which is the same Sunday you gather in your Hall to preach lies and deceits to your members.

CAPTIVATOR:


Why do u love ignorance like these ...

I gave u the reference .

Here is another


Encyclopedia Brittanica

" In particular, during the first two centuries of Christianity there was strong opposition to recognizing birthdays of martyrs or, for that matter, of Jesus. Numerous Church Fathers offered sarcastic comments about the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays "

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Christmas

Na was for you, in the society Jesus grew up in , they don't celebrate birthdays , so. Nothing to condemn in this regard . It's already societally frowned at , And interestingly his first set of disciples came from the same society , and they all also refrain from birthday celebration

CAPTIVATOR:

Where exactly did Jesus command Easter ?
" teach them to observe the things I COMMANDED YOU " .

Emusan:


I asked you to provide a link to your World Book encyclopedia you couldn't but you have to come up with another delusional article.

This was written by someone, do you agree with the person just because it's against Christmas?

Then will you agree with the author if he's article was against JWs?

He's not the first person to write against Christmas...

So I'm still waiting for the WB encyclopedia LINK

Olodo....Wasn't John the Baptist killed during the time of Jesus on birthday? The person who killed him, which tribe he is and his position?

Isn't the best time for Christ to condemn the practice?

We have many references in the scripture where Christ warned His disciples not to do things the way other do it.

Emusan:


Where exactly did Jesus command you to go to Hall on Sunday?

So you're acting out of Christ command....continue
