The word CHRISTMAS is not written in the Bible. The date of birth of JESUS CHRIST is not written in the Bible so you don\u2019t know. 3. There\u2019s not a single commandment by CHRIST himself or any other prophet in the Bible that says you should celebrate the birthday of JESUS. 4. There\u2019s numerous evidence to prove that celebrating Christmas is paganism. Question is, do modern day Christians know the GOD they\u2019re worshiping? \ud83e\udd14\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Well,\u00a0 this is a strong statement from Rex Omar. Do you agree with his assertions?
