Truth about Christmas.

Beloved ones, December 25 Is not the day when Christ was born, christmas is for pagans not for Jesus Christ, it's has to do with tree worship and false gods and the birth of false gods. It is not written in the bible on which date Christ was born.

Many today want to “put Christ back into Christmas,” but the fact is that December 25 was not Christian in the first place. It was a polytheistic festival based on myth. Just proclaiming something Christian does not make it so, no matter what rationalizations we may use. Can you put Christ into paganism? Is that right? Or does that misrepresent the purity, light and truth that Christ Himself represents?

Mark7:6-9 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:“‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions. And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!

This celebration was influenced by pagan (unchristian) festivals held at that time. The ancient Romans held year-end celebrations to honor Saturn, their harvest god; and Mithras, the god of light. Various peoples in northern Europe held festivals in mid-December to celebrate the end of the harvest season.. December 25 is associated with many pagan birth myths—not Christ’s birth.December 25 is considered the birthday of Jesus by a large segment of Christendom, there is no evidence that this was actually the date He was born. The Bible does not give us Christ’s date of birth, but it gives some clues that it was at a warmer time of the year. One popular pagan god whose birthday was celebrated at the end of december was Mithra( the sun god,a Persian god)

Exodus20:3 You shall have no other gods before me.

Deuteronomy6:14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.

Most Christmas traditions come from pagan religions, not the Bible!!!

The time of year chosen, starting a week before Christmas, correlates with the pagan festival of Saturnalia.

This was celebrated in honor of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture. Two of the traditions of Saturnalia that live on today in Christmas include gift giving and fabulous light displays.

God instructs us to never worship Him with pagan practices: “You shall not worship the LORD your God with such things” (Deuteronomy 12:4).

Since the term “pagan” is not used as much today, it is important we understand its meaning. Paganism refers to religious worship of gods other than the true God of the Bible. Pagan worship often involves polytheism (worship of multiple gods) and often centers on worshipping elements of nature.

There is no Santa Claus. Parents shouldn’t lie to their children!!!

One of the most popular Christmas customs involves telling children that there is a jolly, potbellied man named Santa Claus who delivers Christmas gifts to all good children around the world. The custom practically makes Santa Claus into a godlike being—with the ability to hear children’s wishes (prayers) and visit all the good children of the world in one night (supernatural powers). And he’s portrayed as always staying the same age (immortal).Of course, this myth is found nowhere in the Bible.

Is it Christian for parents to teach this myth to their children? The Bible is very clear that lying is a sin: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16).

How can we exclude children from this commandment? It is not Christian to perpetuate myths like Santa Claus—especially to innocent children.

Christians should keep the holy days that Jesus kept, not holidays that originated in paganism.

Leviticus 23 lists seven festivals that God calls His feasts. God’s holy days were created by God for His people. The Bible records that Jesus Christ kept these festivals (Luke 22:15-16&John 7:10).Why not keep the holy days found in the Bible—instead of holidays that human beings invented and assigned Christian meaning to hundreds of years after the Bible was written?

Be Blessed Beloved Shalom Shalom.
