Former aide to ex president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, on Sunday said Christmas is an abomination and a blasphemous festival. He says Christmas is an European holiday and a commandment of man not from God.
In a series of tweets, he wrote, “Christmas is an abomination and a blasphemous festival and the Bible warned us about it in 1 Timothy 4:1.
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
“Christmas is a European holiday, not a Christian holiday. It is celebrated in Nigeria and much of the world not because The Bible says so, but for the simple reason that it was Europeans that brought modern day Christianity to Nigeria, Africa and much of the world.
“The first Christmas was in the year 336 AD when the Roman Emperor, Constantine, converted the celebration of a pagan Mass to mark the winter solstice which glorified European deities. That festival was marked on December 25. Christmas has nothing to do with Christ
“You and I know that Jesus condemned the Pharisees. Now ask yourself
why Jesus condemned them? Matthew 15:9 gives us the answer: ‘But in vain
they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’.
Christmas is a commandment of man.
“If Satan asks true Christians to celebrate a pagan satanic ritual festival, they will never do it. So he just transformed a satanic ritual festival by giving it a new name-Christmas and voila, Christians begin to celebrate what Jesus didn’t command us to celebrate.”
*I love Reno. He always makes sense to me and yes, he is right. Christmas is no where in the Bible and the birth day of Jesus is unknown. 25th December was in celebration of the sun god and somehow paganism had been 'christianized' in all these celebration.
But listen, even Easter was in celebration of the goddess Astarte but are you celebrating Astarte or Jesus' resurrection? (That's why I prefer saying happy resurrection to happy Easter because Easter was derived from Astarte).
Same thing with Christmas. I don't know when Jesus was born. It's irrelevant really. But what's relevant is that we celebrate a Savior born to save the world from their sins, not just on the 25th December but everyday of our lives.
That's why I see Christmas as a reminder cos it's on this very day that the world are reminded that Jesus came. I celebrate Jesus o, not the sun god. What are you celebrating?
