The SHOCKING Pagan Origin Of Christmas - Must Read! (Merry Christmas!)

[mark__012590]

---

Somehow, I hate Christmas but not totally. I hate Christmas because it's the time of the year when Capitalists could take advantage of the consumers! And didn't I mentioned it is a marketing ploy? Ang mga negosyante ray nadato ana!

What I love bout Christmas, as what I said, is the paycheck. Plus the giveaways!

Just to let you know I still give presents during the holiday seasons. It has been, well, my tradition I should say.

So imung mga presents kay self made ra? Wow with love jd na k sure ko dile ka mu palit kay ma dato ra sila Mr. and Miss Capitalist hehehhe

So imung ge butang unta mga articles about sa mga Capitalist nga nag abuso if Pasko na.

Yehay Manghatag xag gifts!!! Wish list dayun hehehe

Give love lang, visit ba ron og Hospicio, HOme of the dying or sa mga ubang charity... atleast....

Nice ang feeling Mark

Some are self made. Others, no choice, kenanglan jud mupalit, say, toys for the kids, clothes.

Simple stuffs but its the thought that counts. (Indirectly way of saying nga tihik jud ko)

I would love to go to the shelters of terminally ill patients. I'm not aware whether there's this kind of shelter for these patients in Cebu. I know there's one in Manila. My heart goes to these people as my mother was terminal before she died.

OT:

Mamasko na ta, TS. Ready sing:

Kasadya ning taknaa
Sa pamilya Villanueva
Mao ray atong makita
Si Mark sige'g katawa

Bulahan ug bulahan
Kay sa bonus gihatagan
Bonus gikan sa pasko
Para ni Mark V., nga way ginoo

Bag-ong tuig, bag-ong kinabuhi
Alang sa mga tawong wapa'y tuli
Atong awitan niining kantaha
Aron sila magpatuli na!

I doubt if Jesus really existed. If he did, he existed as a mortal.

There were no accounts in history that says Jesus has existed.

Plus, there were parallels of Jesus to the Pagan God, Horus. Since Christianity was set up by Constantine, who was a Pagan, Jesus COULD BE or CERTAINLY BE a by product of the Pagan God, Horus.

Indeed, you are trolling.

Let's address the question of this thread once and for all.

Kanang imong giingon nga 'Pagan Origin Of Christmas', it is not shocking at all. As early as the 4th century, nagsige na'g pagarpar ang mga anti-christians nga lagi kuno, gikan sa pagano kanang celebrasyon sa pasko.

In response, matud pa ni John Chrysostom (c. 349–407), the Archbishop of Constantinople:

But Our Lord, too, is born in the month of December . . . the eight before the calends of January [25 December] . . ., But they call it the 'Birthday of the Unconquered'. Who indeed is so unconquered as Our Lord . . .? Or, if they say that it is the birthday of the Sun, He is the Sun of Justice.

C'mon, TS. 2011 A.D. na ron. Karon pa ka nakabalo ana?

If the members of the pagan cult (Mithraism) worshipped the sun as god, ilaha pud na. Wa man siguro'y kristyano nga tarong og pangutok nga magtuwad2x atubang sa adlaw mata'g December 25. Kabalo man mi nga dili ang sun, KUNDILI si Jesus ang among gipahinungdan anang christmas.

Kun para sa mithraism, the sun is the god of light, para sa christianity, Jesus, the son of GOD is the light of the world. If the pagan once celebrated Dec. 25 as the triumph over physical darkness, christians celebrates Dec. 25 as the triumph over spiritual darkness.

Kanang pagkatawo ni Jesus, katumanan na sa gisulti sa Old Testament:

Malachi 4:2
But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

Matud pa ni Pope Leo I (5th century):

But this Nativity which is to be adored in heaven and on earth is suggested to us by no day more than this when, with the early light still shedding its rays on nature, there IS borne in upon our senses the brightness of this wondrous mystery.

Na-memorize na nimo tong atong christmas jingle? Praktisa to kay duol na ang pasko. Manaygon na ta.

Again, kun member ka sa mithraism unya imong gisimba ang adlaw matag Dec. 25, imoha pud na. Dili mi manghilabot nimo. Kun atheist/agnostic ka pero ganahan pud ka mag-shopping inig christmas season kay daghan discounts, manghatag pa gyud og bonus/giveaways ang mga employer, wa gihapon nay 'blema para namo.

Basta, ayaw lang pud panghilabut kun inig Dec. 25, magcelebrate mi agi'g pahinungod ni Jesus nga para namo, mao ang kahayag sa katawhan. Respetuhay lang ta.
