What Did Jesus Say About Christmas?
http://askmuslims.com/Christmas.html

people read before you comment.....

gwhiz1052 with out reading please don't make yourself look dumb. By the way God didn't write the current Bible.

Jay H, could you proof your last point were Prophet Jesus said that he is GOD. I want his word saying "I am GOD" and don't play with words.

"ME" you said
what did jesus eat for dinner when he was 10 years old and 57 days... O CRAP ITS NOT IN THE BIBLE...ITS THE END OF THE WORLD

Well tell me how many time Jesus was born and how many times did he eat? He was born once and if that was so important then he would have told us clearly to celebrate and FYI there is no proof of dec 25th.

"sweetdivine" You agree with Christmas as lie but you still do it and you said you do it in good intension and thats what happened to Bible people changed it too thinking it will benefit people with good intension but today that addition has turn out taken wrongly and blindly followed by billions of christian people without even questioning there believes.

By the way i can quote you verses from Bible which will proof he from day one told his followers to not call him GOD.

Answer 1

I believe that when Jesus remarked, "remember my death, and not my birth", that to celebrate a holiday in his name is blasphemy, and going on man made traditions, which I am also under the impression is wrong.

Answer 2

I started not to read the article because I am not interested in what Muslims believe, but since you asked to read it before commenting, I glanced at it and realized it says what I have been saying here on YA for months. Christmas is not Christian, Jesus would want nothing to do with this day. Christians disrespect their Jesus by observing this day. Jesus was not born in December, Jer rebukes Israel for decorating a pagan tree. December 25 is the birthday of many pagan sun gods. Early Christians and the Jews of the bible and Israel did not celebrate birthdays at all, pagans did this and the bible says to not do as pagans do.


As a pagan myself and a former Christian preacher, I think it funny that Christians today are more pagan then christian. They ignore important things like baptism and the weekly taking of communion, but lift high their pagan traditions an holidays like Christmas. so much that they get angry in umbilical proportions and boycott stores that give a generic happy holidays.

In trying to honor Christ they are guilty of teachings for doctrine the commandments of men, therefore dishonoring their Christ.

Jesus is God Jesus has defied human history for 2,000 years. he's the most pronounced individual in this international. there has been more beneficial written about Jesus than each person else contained in the international. there have been more beneficial songs sung and more beneficial videos made about Jesus that any one else contained in the international. guy’s acceptance is fleeting. Christ’s acceptance is continuously. Jesus is more beneficial than merely the founding father of Christianity; he's Christianity. in case you replace each person else for Jesus - Christianity will give way. Jesus not in any respect went to varsity; He not in any respect held an place of work; He not in any respect wrote a e book; yet human beings observed Him and worshiped Him. in the present day some religions coach that He develop right into a large guy; some coach He develop into God’s spirit baby; some coach Jesus develop right into a prophet and messenger of God; some say Jesus develop right into an ethical guy, a sturdy instructor. between the most elementary guidelines of common sense is the regulation of non-contradiction. 2 statements about the same difficulty can't both be real in the adventure that they contradict one yet another. So Jesus is both God or he develop right into a liar. If he develop right into a liar, how can different religions believe him to be a sturdy instructor or prophet? If He were a liar, why may He die for His declare at the same time as He ought to actual have prevented any such merciless lack of lifestyles. Jesus is God. it extremely is why, after 2,000 years, he remains the most pronounced individual in history. it extremely is why, after 2,000 years, lives are nevertheless being replaced and they credit that fluctuate to Jesus. you've lived a million/2 your lifestyles, do not wait till that is too previous due. Please positioned your believe and faith in Jesus and characteristic eternal lifestyles.

Answer 4

Very interesting.you are right Christmas was not supported by God or Jesus. and the proof is in the Bible. you are also right that Jesus is not God.

Answer 5

I read your article for unlike many Christians i am interested in understand the ways of others. I do not however understand the article's point. Christmas is celebrated not because it is in the Bible but because of what it has come to represent. The birth of God's only begotten Son. what amazes me is that Islam holds Jesus out to be a prophet and yet ignores the fact that he claimed to be God.

Answer 6

Jesus didn't say anything about Christmas. That's like Martin Luther King Jr. talking to people about MLK Jr. day. If you do not see the simple 'fallacy' in that arguement, then there is no hope.

However, just because Jesus did not talk about Christmas does not automatically mean that he would have denied its celebration. When a hungry crowd stayed to listen to him preach, and the disciples wanted to send them away, Jesus let them stay and fed them. As for the holidays, the religious and secular music, the Christmas mass, the tree standing in the room, the lights twinkling on the tree, the presents wrapped oh-so perfectly and laying expectantly underneath, that morning of joy whether through mom and dad or Santa Claus, does this not feed the spirit of his followers, and even those for whom he means something else? In the heart where the flame of joy is lit, from whose voice comes the rebuke?

But your website was very good, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing the information.

Answer 7

As a Christian I have no need to read a Muslim article to answer this question.
Jesus said nothing about Christmas, Christmas is a man made idea.
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Answer 8

Jesus did not have anything to say about Christmas. When christmas first started it was a pagan holiday that non believers used to worship their false gods. Also, christmas didnt start till a couple hudred or a thousand years after Christ death. He didnt know anything about it or did anyone else at that time because it was only a regular date in history. Everything about santa and presents also didnt start till a couple hundred years ago also.

Answer 9

I read the article, by the way I am a Christian and I partially agree but also disagree with it. Since your questions are based on the article I will answer both.

Yes it is true the bible does not mention Christmas and quite honestly I don't think God agrees with it because if he did he would have given an order/request that the birth of his son be celebrated. Yes again Christmas evolved from the pagans and they used to worship the trees. That I agree with you but here is my point of view that does not agree with the article:
Whoever came up with the idea of Christmas had good intentions and that was that his birth be celebrated. Here is the difference between Christians clebrating Christmas and the pagans doing their rituals. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, yes with trees that are decorated BUT we DO NOT WORSHIP THE TREES, WE ARE SIMPLY CELEBRATING HIS BIRTH, EVEN THOUGH THE DATE IS WRONG.
The pagans WORSHIPED THE TREES MEANING THEY WORSHIPED IDOLS.

Here are a lot of sriptures that mention that Jesus is Lord of Lords and that he is God.

And when he [Jesus] went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? (Luke 8:27-36)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). [HERE HE CONFIRMS THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD]

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him (John 6:44).
[HERE HE IS CONFIRMING THAT GOD IS HIS FATHER AND HE IS THE SON OF GOD NOT JUST MAN]. THE REASON HE IS CALLED SON OF MAN IS BECAUSE HE WAS CONCIEVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY (MARY WHO IS MAN - YOU KNOW, HUMAN)

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day (John 6:53,54) [WHO RAISES THE DEAD TO LIFE ON JUDGEMENT DAY? JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS GOD AND IS LORD OF LORDS, THE SON OF GOD]

Luke 1:32,33
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Matthew 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mark 16:19
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

The Scriptures are a lot confirming that Jesus is God but if you have any more doubts feel free to contact me.
The trinity of the God Head. Do you believe in that? I think you have a long way to go.Jesus Prayed to his God

"And when he (Jesus) had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray" (Matthew 14:23)
Obvious question: If Jesus was God, who was he praying to?

Who was he praying to? This is were the trinity of the God Head comes in. God the Son prayed to God the Father. With Jesus being on earth He talked about God the Father because in that way it glorified the Father. Now the Holy Spirit is on earth and guess who He is glorifying? God the Son, Jesus Christ.

You might not believe what I have said but this is were Faith comes in. It's with this faith, faith of God that you will understand everything.

Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
What does the name Immanuel mean? God is with us.

Now you have equested that we read your article, so urge you to read my answer word-for-word and not skip anything that I have written. God bless.

Answer 10

1.)Back then,the pagans actually worshiped the tree.Christians do not worship the tree.It's for decoration.
2.)Christians should not be worried whether or not December 25th is the actual birth date of the birth of the messiah.Their missing the whole point if they are.
3.)Christians should not be worried about judgmental insinuations.They should keep their eyes focused on the goal.Winning souls to Christ and eternity in Heaven.
