Unbelievable!! Do You Know That The Word 'Xmas' is Devilish? Find Out!
Welcome to the Christmas edition of the youth questions. How has the journey been so far. Hope fantastic?
Ok, now I want us to have a little reflection on the issue of Christmas. Why do we replace 'Christ with 'X' in CHRISTMAS. Why do we have to write or say Xmas instead of Christmas. That is the issue at stake today.
Many people are guilty of this without knowing. The letter 'X' signifies something unknown or something bad or Evil in nature. In the collection of signs and symbols, there is no place that 'X' has meant something good. In road traffic signs 'X' means danger. In the internet 'X' means P*rn*graphy. It is used in accident scenes to represent someone whose identity is unknown. In mathematics it signifies unknown, bad or fail.
The question now is, why do we represent Christ with 'X' as we have in Xmas, Xtian, X-like etc?????
This is absoluetly an invention of the devil because the devil does not want that name to be mentioned. Now logicians has attributed the use of Xmas instead of Christmas as a mere communication methodology. To them it is a mere abbreviation aimed at achieving a communicative intent. Yes, that may be correct logically speaking.
But in spirituality, it has a great significance. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Master and should not be represented with a symbol that has series other negative meanings. The devil invented that X in Christmas to remove the essence of Christmas which is CHRIST-the reason for the season. When the essence of Christmas is replaced with 'X' the reason(Christ) for the season(Christmas) is gone and people tend to misbehave.
Does it take more effort to say Christmas than Xmas? What could be the main reason for saying Xmas instead of Christmas. Another school of thought,some pentecostal extremists, has attributed this to the date we celebrate Christmas(25th December). According to them, Nobody knows the date Christ was born. So the birthday of Christ is UNKNOWN and 'X' signifies Unknown. Therefore Christmas should be called Xmas. Absolute fallacy! The Catholic Chiurch did not just select 25th December, there was a reason for that. That will be our next topic. Keep a date with us.
So, in conclusion, take the pains and pronounce Christmas and Not Xmas. Even in the kingdom of darkness, they avoid such names as God, Jesus, Christ etc. Those names are prohibited and abonminable. Please dear Christians, rise up to the Challenge, take the pains and effort to say Happy Christmas and not Xmas. If after reading this article, you continue with your Xmas saga, then you are a devil incarnate.
