Chale stay away. Detty is not the same as Dirty. You pastors always tries to bring in a Christian perspective on everything. Why is this an issue for you. Ghana is a free country. In Ghana, Christians will still celebrate Christmas and the others will celebrate "Detty December". Go to UK and see that all the churches are being sold. They dont even go to church anymore. The worship center on Sundays are in the stadiums during the premnier league matches.

The Romans named the month of December long before the claim in the bible that Jesus was born in December. December is not a religious month, so take your religious lies elsewhere. People are free to make up whatever names they choose with any month of the year. If you truly believe in your religious fabrications, you would be asking the Western nations why they've chosen to commercialize the so-called birth day of Jesus by turning that time of the year into the biggest shopping period of the year that is has come to be known as 'Christmas'.

The days of the church are numbered. It will collapse like a storey building without iron rods. In one of the Ae Apocrypha (forbidden or hidden books), specifically in the Book of Enoch, it says that those who use the name of the Creator in vain will face the Armageddon. Anyone should try and look for the Wisdom of Solomon (another hidden or forbidden book). No so called man of God can use it in his church to preach! It tells how so called men of God have deceived mankind and worshipping material and worldly things instead of the Creator, and that is exactly what is going on. Shameless fake people.

The walls started crumbling when Luther and Calvin centuries ago caused a split from the Roman Catholic Church into what today are known as Protestant churches. And the lies in the bible are still followed blindly. If Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the garden, why would God send his son to die for their sins instead of forgiving them? Further, if Christianity teaches that the purpose of man and woman is to procreate, why then would it be a sin for Adam and Eve to engage in sex, an act that supposedly will cause God to send his son to earth to die on the cross? And if God had ordained that his son would die on the cross for the sin of Adam and Eve, why then is Judas accused of betraying Jesus to the Romans who then took Jesus and had him crucified? names have been the creations of humans,. Humans came up with the names "Adam and Eve". If Adam and Eve were the first humans on earth and dwelled in the Garden of Eve, would Jesus not have mentioned that garden in the bible? And would humans not know where that garden was situated?

With all due respect, man of God, I would recommend that you focus on more pressing matters—namely, doctrine and practice—rather than becoming preoccupied with what seems to be a trivial concern. By framing your argument with such a loaded question, you unintentionally lend credibility to the criticisms and mockery directed at Christianity and its clergy. The question of whether Jesus could have been born in the winter season warrants further investigation, in my view. However, even if Jesus were indeed born in December, what difference would it make in terms of moral uprightness during that month? How many of us know and understand the origins of the names for the months themselves? For example, January is named after Janus, the Roman god; March after Mars, another Roman deity; April after Aphrodite; May after Maia, a Roman goddess; June after Juno, the queen of the Roman gods. Even the name "December" comes from the Latin word decem, meaning "ten," reflecting its place in the old Roman calendar. Pastors, as teachers of the faith, should delve into these details with greater care and research.

Who says Jesus was born in December? I think the Methodist priest should research the actual date, month and year Jesus was born. We must be real in discourse to people.
While December 25th is celebrated as Christmas, biblical scholars suggest Jesus was likely born in the autumn (around September/October), during the Jewish festival of Tabernacles, based on calculations from John the Baptist's birth mentioned in Luke's Gospel, as shepherds wouldn't be out with sheep in cold December. The Bible doesn't state the exact month, but clues point to fall, with some estimates placing it in 6-4 BCE, not 1 CE.
Key Clues & Calculations:
John the Baptist's Conception: Zechariah's priestly service occurred around May/June, after which Elizabeth conceived John.
Jesus' Conception: Gabriel visited Mary six months after John's conception (around December), placing Jesus' conception in winter.
Jesus' Birth: Counting nine months from December places Jesus' birth in September/October (the Hebrew month of Tishri).
Shepherds: The presence of shepherds with their flocks in fields suggests warmer months, not cold, rainy December.
Why December 25th?
The date was chosen by the early Church, possibly to align with existing Roman winter festivals like Saturnalia, or through symbolic calculations, not direct biblical evidence.
Christmas originated as a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus' birth, but its December 25th date was likely chosen to coincide with and Christianize existing Roman pagan winter solstice festivals like Saturnalia and Sol Invictus celebrations, linking the "birth of the unconquered sun" to the "birth of the Son" to attract converts in the 4th century CE, blending ancient winter traditions with Christian observance.
Pagan Roots & Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice: Long before Christianity, cultures celebrated the winter solstice (shortest day) around late December, marking the return of longer, sunnier days.
Saturnalia: The Romans held the Saturnalia festival in mid-December, a time of feasting, merrymaking, and gift-giving.
Sol Invictus: In 274 CE, Emperor Aurelian established the feast of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (Birthday of the Unconquered Sun) on December 25th, tying into Roman sun worship.
Christian Adoption
Jesus' Birth Date: The Bible doesn't specify Jesus' birth date, as early Christians focused more on his resurrection.
Strategic Timing: By the 4th century, the Western Church in Rome chose December 25th to align with these popular pagan festivals, making conversion easier for many.
Early Records: The first written record placing Jesus' birth on December 25th appears in the Roman Chronograph of 354 (336 CE).
Traditions & Evolution
Blending Practices: Many Christmas customs, like evergreens (representing life) and feasting, have roots in these older winter celebrations.
German Influence: Martin Luther (16th century) is credited with adding candles to Christmas trees, inspired by stars seen through evergreens.
Victorian Popularity: Queen Victoria and Prince Albert popularized the Christmas tree in England, solidifying modern traditions.
In essence, Christmas grew from a desire to celebrate Jesus' birth within the existing cultural framework of winter solstice festivities, creating a holiday that blends ancient pagan themes with Christian faith.
