lavendersparklePeter 'Muslim's don't have a monopoly on violence' Akinola has taken a firm stand on a great threat to Christianity, season's greetings cards. While some of us may view them as a break from the monotony of 'Happy Christmas' or a slightly cringe-worthy attempt to attempt to pretend that we're all just celebrating it being cold and the Queen's speech, Archbishop Akinola sees them as the work of the anti-Christ.
To the ordinary person, what does it matter, when they say seasons greetings , or Christmas greetings. It doesn’t matter to the ordinary person, but for those who have the spirit of discernment, for those who follow the trend of the modern world, they would know that it is not ordinary.
Let me be blunt with you, I see the agents of anti-Christ at work and their determination is to remove God and Christ and the church from national consciousness, from the public domain. Begin to think of the tremendous developments and benefits nations have derived from the church, think of the tremendous blessings the church has been to Europe or to America . In fact, the founding fathers of these nations built their policies, government, and constitution on the strength of their Judeo-Christian heritage.
If you see any card around Christmas in which they say ‘Season Greetings’, don’t buy it, don’t give it, don’t receive it. If it is sent to you, send it back to sender. When the producers begin to lose money, then they will come back to their senses that Christmas is not any other season, Christmas is about Christ ,the saviour of the world.
Now, a couple of years ago I couldn't resist being a pack of cards because they were the most PC cards one could possibly imagine. It's an Oxfam charity card. It says 'Season's Greetings' and the cover is little children of different races and nationalities around the world smiling. I think a couple of the children on the card could be Muslim. I'm very tempted to send one to Akinola.
