Jorge Abraham Lugo Brambila, minister of the Apostolic Church of the Faith in Christ Jesus, mentions that December 25 is a special day for the church because they celebrate the birth of the son of God.
“Of the lamb that came to give his life for the salvation of all of us and that is why it is a special day. We give thanks to God, although we do it all year long, but we remember when Jesus Christ came to earth and when he was born.
We celebrated with activities on December 24, preaching of the entire cult and a special program alluding to the day with plays. The children have their participation, the songs are also allusive to the moment. Day 25 is already a family day, families gather in different houses to eat, “he says.
Jehovah Nissi
“Let’s take a time to remember and reflect on the creator of life”
The youth pastor of the Church Jehovah Nissi, Alexis Vargas, says that Christmas is a time to share with family and friends.
“When we talk about sharing, it is not only the material things that are the things we usually share, but the most important thing that we have, which is the love of Jesus, who gave his life to bring salvation to this world.
It is more a time of reflection and companionship, that we stop for a moment of our busy life, run and run for the gifts, run and run for the food, and take time to remember and reflect on the creator of life , and that we allow ourselves a moment to approach Him, the scripture tells us in Santiago: “that if we approach God, He will approach us”.
Mormons
“We join the Christian world to celebrate Christmas”
Elder Muñoz, missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Last Days, mentions that in order to celebrate Christmas they center their activities on Jesus Christ, since they believe that it is the central part of the plan that God gave them so that they can have progress on earth.
“We celebrate through small acts of charity for other people, including the Church launched a worldwide campaign where we can enlighten the world with these small acts of charity. We make home evenings throughout the year, but at this time, families can go with other families to celebrate Christmas always with hymns, we sing the traditional Christmas carols.
We join the Christian world to celebrate, that perhaps Jesus was not born on December 24, but there was a day when He was born and came into the world. ”
Jehovah Sama
“We celebrate that Jesus was born, even if the date is not the exact one”
The pastor of the Church Jehovah Sama, Martin Rafael Astorga, says that at Christmas they remember the birth of Jesus Christ, although the date is not the exact one.
“Fundamentally, we remember the birth of Jesus Christ. The foundation is that: celebrate that Jesus was born although the date is not the exact one, we only commemorate the fact that He came into the world. It is a socially accepted date, which generally all religions adopt it as this day, but it is not that we give importance to the date but to the fact.
What we usually do on this date is the reminder about the birth of Jesus, and why He came to give His life for us. Fundamentally, it is forgiveness. ”
The light of the world
“The Bible does not record a specific date on which Jesus was born”
Gerardo Rodríguez, minister of the Church of the Light of the World, comments that they are based on everything that is in the scriptures, and therefore do not celebrate Christmas.
“About the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, because we rejoice in Him, because his birth brought great benefits to humanity, both his birth and death, but the Bible does not record a specific date in which He was born.
There is no specific date that tells us that day was. We celebrate his birth every day because the moment he brought us his word, his teaching and lead us in it, and follow his footsteps, and give him the glory for the benefits that he gives us.
The church every day celebrates both his birth and his death and resurrection. But we respect what each person has in their belief. There is no specific day for us to celebrate Christmas. “
