The common mistake by most people which should be corrected.
Take note that the word should read MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
It sounds funny that most of our people, even the learned people use to say Happy Christmas. NO, there is nothing like Happy Christmas.
The correct word is Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
You can NOT say Happy Christmas and Merry New Year or Happy Christmas and Happy New Year rather it should be MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Happy Christmas and Happy New Year is incorrect.
IT IS CHRISTMAS not XMAS
Another one that needs correction is Xmas instead of Christmas.
Christmas is all about Jesus. Jesus was born for you to take away your sin on December 25 since that day is widely accepted worldwide.
Whether some of us accept that December 25 as Born Day of Jesus is outside this writing. After all, most people who are not aware of their real Born Day use to adopt a fixed date for their own birth day.
And since Christ Jesus did not fall from the sky but was born one day like every other human being, then adopting 25 December as His Born Day should not bring argument, as long as He was actually given birth to a certain day, we should join others globally to celebrate His Birthday on 25 December.
It might be true that December 25 was a day meant for worship of idol in years back, but adopting that day as Christmas, Praise be to God that day of idols worshipping has now be taken over by Christmas.
It is sign of victory that the name of Jesus has dominated those idols that were worshipped in those day.
That day was when He manifested in human form to take over your pain, shame.
Believers should not join in calling it Xmas.
X-Mas or Christmas?
What is the difference in these two words?
Are they the same?
Let us take a look at this…..
The difference
between the word
CHRISTMAS
and the word
X-MAS.
CHRISTMAS is the
combination of
two words:
Christ and Mass.
Before Christ was born many years ago,
25th December used to be
PAGAN’S day for SACRIFICES.
Later, in the year
533 AD, Constantine,
the head of the then
Roman Church, which is today the Roman Catholic,
changed the day from
pagan’s day of
sacrifices to
Jesus Christ’s birth commemoration.
He called the day
THE MASS FOR CHRIST
That is CHRISTMAS
1. CHRIST in
Hebrew means,
The Anointed One or
The Chosen One.
2. MAS in
Greek means
A Big Gathering of People
Thus
CHRISTMAS means
The Gathering of
People of Christ,
(His Followers/Disciples)
Then,
where did the word
X-MASS
come from?
Be ware!!
It’s believed that after
the day of gathering of
Christ’s Followers
{CHRISTMAS},
became famous and respected worldwide,
Atheists & Antichrists decided to change it by
removing the name Christ for an X to mean
that there is no Christ.
It changed the meaning
by reading X-MASS
i.e to mean
“there is no gathering
of Christ’s Followers.”
Merry CHRIST-MAS
& NOT X-MAS
X is often used to
designate a person
thing/factor,
whose true name is
unknown/withheld.
“X” has nothing
to do with
“Christ”
“The Anointed One,”
Let’s not replace
Christ with “X”
Therefore as a Christian,
don’t use X-MAS but use
“CHRISTMAS”.
You might have made
that mistake last year by
wishing people
X-Mas
instead of
CHRISTMAS.
Why don’t you share this message with your Christian friends?
God bless you as you
help and join in
correcting this big error.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS”
AND NOT
MERRY X-MAS
