Daddy Freeze has descended on Reverend Father Chinenye Oluoma for defending Christmas Day celebration while responding to Pastor Daniel Olukoya of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) who claimed the event is ‘unbiblical’.
Olukoya had said that MFM does not participate in the celebration of Christmas because no book in the bible recorded the word “Christmas” or that Jesus was born on December 25.
He added that December 25 is a date originally set aside by the ancient Romans for the Mars festival by the worshippers of the sun. Olukoya said the birth of Christ was subsequently co-opted into the same date to give the Mars festival more popularity and then renamed “Christmas”.
Responding to Olukoya, Father Oluoma, explained that there are many other festivities in today’s Christianity such as Mother’s Day, birthday parties, wedding anniversaries, cross over vigils, etc. that Christians engage in which are not recorded in the Bible. He added that such festivities are allowed because the scripture is not against them.
Oluoma also said: “Easter as a term is not in the Bible but we celebrate Easter because it’s an event and a mystery recorded in scripture. Same with Christmas, it’s not the term or calendar date we celebrate but the event and mystery,”
However, reacting to Father Oluoma’s explanations, Daddy Freeze commanded him to ‘keep quiet’ and accused the Catholic church of syncretizing pagan beliefs into the gospel of Christ.

The catholic priest should keep quiet!
In my opinion the Catholic Church is responsible for both the Romanizing of the church and the syncretizing of pagan beliefs into the gospel of Christ.
I stand with Odukoya on this particular matter.
If the Catholic Church didn’t have so many errors and didn’t teach the ideas of men as commands from God, would there have been so many factions breaking out of the church, with Pentecostalism being the youngest of these, established by Charles Parham & William Seymour about a 100 years ago?
He should refer to my response to Mike Bamiloye on the matter.
Dear Mike Bamiloye,
This is a very unscholarly write up that has no recourse to scripture or spirit, rather, it’s doused with the fire of sentiment and emotion, formed on the crucible of false pagan doctrines syncretized with the traditions of men, moreso aimed at the scripturally destitute and the intellectually inferior, in my opinion.
How can you say that the world has dedicated a day for Christ to be celebrated?
So it is now the world that dictates how and when the Lord is to be worshiped?
Please indulge me, show me a single scripture, any at all, where Christ celebrated a birthday, or asked anyone Jew or Gentile, to celebrate any birthday at all. After his resurrection, can you show me where the disciples celebrated any birthday at all, or the birthday of Christ?
There are 929 chapters in the Old Testament, while there are 260 chapters in the New Testament, at least one must contain an instruction to the church, a concession of a disciple or apostle, the words of God or Christ, or anything at all that justifies this pagan feast of revelry that you are here promoting.
Birthdays are pagan, DEAL WITH IT!
There are only two examples of birthday celebrations in the entire bible; one in the Old Testament, where the sun god worshipping pharaoh killed his chief baker (Gen40:22), the other in the New Testament, where John the Baptist was beheaded at a pagan birthday party held by Herod.
When Christ heard that his cousin John was killed, he was very sad and went away to be by himself.
