    Women and men don't mix in gatherings like that because of the temptations that might come about. Imagine you standing behind a woman who is wearing a bare-back dress, its wrong and she s not your wife.

    In Islam, free mixi ...

    ...And paedophile Muhammad invented violent Islam that is why you are still committing terrorism around the world!

    Excuse me, it is wrong to label the Messenger of Allah as such which he was not. He was the truthful even before he was given the Prophethood. Read the Seerah of the Prophet and you will learn more about him.

    WHERE IS CHRISTMAS FOUND IN THE BIBLE? THE BIBLE SAYS DO NOT THINK BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN. (1 COR. 4:6)

  • Kwodwo 9 years ago

    Christmas is not mentioned in the bible but it is there if your heart would be enlightened enough to see it. Christmas is just the celebration of His birth and the bible does not forbid our celebration of such great news. Rem ...

    Good job, Kodwo. It is difficult for people without the Spirit to understand things of the Spirit. As a Christian I rejoice in my God and His Son, the Lord Jesus, so much so that I wish not only one day of the year would be u ...

    Christmas, as we know has pagan origin and should be shun by true followers of Christ. There is nowhere in the Bible that Christ said that his followers should celebrate his birth. I will throw a challenge to any Pastor, Bis ...

    So Osofo, you know very well & understand that Jesus was not born on December 25th & that date was a celebration of the pagan winter solstice. Do you want somebody making up your birthdate & celebrate it? I'm pretty sure if C ...

    You can't add or take anything away from the bible. Christmas is not in the bible.

  • Kwodwo 9 years ago

    You are wrong my brother. Jesus might not have been born on the 25th of December and as several studies have shown his birth probably occurred sometime in September but any date is good enough to celebrate his birth so long a ...

    If your great grand mother does not know her birthday and she wants to pick a day to celebrate hers too, will she pick her enemy's birthday as hers. The Romans are responsible for this deceit and it's about time that the chur ...

    The all-knowing Lord knew after He was gone, mankind will try to remember Him and therefore instituted The Lords Supper in His remembrance: I Cor, 11 : 23 - ff.

    It was the last supper that he only told christians to keep him in remembrance, he NEVER mentioned or told christians to celebrate the day he was born. If that date was so significant and wanted us to remember it, it would be ...

    Those were His words, yet man has ignored that and has put in place X'mas. Judgment day is coming.

    Even A level religious studies tells you christ wasn't born on the 25th of December so I will be surprised the osofo course doesn't tell you that as well. This osofo is a follower of the devil

  • chesto 9 years ago

    ON whose Auhority should christians celebrate christmas?
    (1pet 4:11).u speak when the Bible speaks and be
    silent where the Bible is silent.

  • KK. 9 years ago

    This man knows nothing. Jesus instituted only the Lord's supper in remembrance of Him. Rev. or whatever you call you call yourself, research into Christmas and know its origin. Dude.

    Osofo you are just misleading your members. It is true that we are to remember Jesus and He himself commanded ( Mat 26:26-30; John 6: 47-53) and the Apostles and the Church did that (1 Cor 11: 23-30) and they did it every fir ...

    Fools, is there something wrong in praising God, when we pick a day as his birthday and exalt his name theirs nothing wrong about it. You all stop the nonsence x'mas is good and it's accepted in heaven.

  • samuel. 9 years ago

    May God forgive u read your bible you can't fixed a day for God.

  • High Speed 9 years ago

    'And its accepted in heaven" Have you been there before or you are just imposing a lie against the heavens?

    Not only christmas must we celebrate Jesus, as a christian we can celebrate Jesus at any time,by praising his name and worship him.

    But is it biblical? He should have proofed it by giving us bible quotation. It's not a sin yes but is it the truth?

  • Eric 9 years ago

    Yes,just like the last comment it is not sinful,but is it the truth that Jesus's birthday is December 25?

  • koo baah 9 years ago

    The Rev. Minister should know that:
    1. Christians in the NT did not celebrate christmas to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ as an annual affair
    2. Sextus Julius Africanus popularized December 25 as the birth day of Chr ...

    Christmas was created only for business by a white man.jusus knew nothing about Christmas so those who celebrate it mustbe punish by God.

    It is sacrilege to fix a day for God and tout it as His birthday.It is a mess festivity to dent the image of Christ. Celebrants of Christmess will answer God one day.How can a Christian defend something which is unbiblical?
