Some Facts About the Pagan Holiday Called Christmas

Christ said, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and TRUTH.”-John 4:24. How can you worship God in LIES and think you are worshipping Him? Christmas is a LIE! Christ was not born on Christmas. It was a pagan god, Mithra, the Sun god), that was born on Christmas. The whole idea of Christmas is the celebration of DARKNESS over LIGHT. Research it. Christmas is a pagan holiday to mark the Winter Solstice (Mithra’s birthday), which is the day where you have the shortest period of LIGHT and the longest period of DARKNESS, signifying, (in the occultist minds of the originators of Christmas), the victory of DARKNESS over LIGHT. Please don’t take me at my word. Research it. Christmas was invented in 336 AD when the Roman Emperor, Constantine, was creating a Catholic (the name Catholic means universal or all-embracing) religion that combined all the pagan religions of the Roman Empire and aspects of Christianity.

So indoctrinated have Christians been that they will be the first to rush here to defend Christmas. In their defence, they will cite church doctrine, traditions, and logic. What they will not cite is SCRIPTURE. Yet, Paul said “SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE”-2 Timothy 3:16.

Ask yourself why Christ condemned the Pharisees? Because they “made the word of God of no effect through your tradition”-Mark 7:13. Is that not what we are doing with Christmas, a holiday of undisputed demonic origin?

You will never see Muslims celebrate a holiday that neither Muhammad, nor the Al-Quran approved of. Only Christians do that. Neither Christ, nor His disciples, nor the Early Church celebrated Christmas. Remember that Scripture says “the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits, and doctrines of demons”-1 Timothy 4:1.

Let us not adjust Christianity to suit our traditions. Instead, let us adjust our traditions to suit Christianity. Scripture warns us to “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”-Romans 12:2. Christmas is of this world, not the Word of God.

Scripture did not tell us to celebrate the BIRTH of Christ. Scripture tells us to mark His DEATH (1 Corinthians 11:24).

This is also consistent with the earlier prophetic words of Solomon, “The day of death is better than the day of birth.”Ecclesiastes 7:1.

The Body of Christ ought to remember that, Christ warned us in Matthew 28:20 to ONLY teach and PRACTICE what He taught us.

I was reading a commentary in defence of Christmas, and the commentator said there is nothing wrong with Christmas “If Christians all over the world decide to celebrate” it.

That comment has me thinking. The words “If Christians all over the world DECIDE”. I pondered on them. Are Christians to DECIDE for God or is God to decide for Christians? Are we following Christ, or are we asking God to follow us?

The same person went on to say “Christ is the reason for the season”. Did Christ tell Christians to celebrate Christmas? No. So, how can He be the reason for what He did not originate? In Matthew 28:20, Christ clearly said we should teach and PRACTICE only what He taught us.

Are we, as created beings, to determine how we will worship the God who created us, or is God to determine that? Are we to tell God how we want to celebrate His Som, or is God to tell us how to celebrate Him? Is Scripture our guide or are tradition and our feelings our guide?

Another commentator, named Cosmas Prince told me

“you supposed to know that things changed with time”. “Things changed with time”? Really? Then what do we do with Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand FOREVER.”

The most ridiculous was one, names Emmanuel Deh, who misquoted Matthew 18:19 to mean “whatever we agree on Earth is also agreed in heaven”.

In Exodus 32:5, the Israelites decided on their own to celebrate what they called “a feast to the LORD.” They did not call it a feast for satan, or the Golden Calf, or name it after any of the Egyptian deities they knew in Egypt. In that verse, Aaron actually used the name of God. The verse reads “Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD.” The Hebrew word used in the original Scripture is YAHWEH which is written as Yahweh in modern English.

In Exodus 32:7-8, God responded to what the Israelites did by saying “the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou brought out of the land of Egypt, have CORRUPTED themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I COMMANDED them”.

Notice the word used above. COMMANDED. God does not give us suggestions. He gives us COMMANDMENTS. And one of the COMMANDMENTS He gave us is that we should mark or celebrate the day of Christ DEATH (1 Corinthians 11:24). Neither God, nor His Son, asked us to celebrate the day of His Son’s birth.

Christmas is exactly like the “Feast to the LORD” that Aaron pronounced in Exodus 32:5. It does not matter that Christmas was chosen by the Church father’s of the Catholic Church, in conjunction with the Roman Emperor Constantine to replace the pagan holiday that celebrated the birth of the sun god, Mithra which took place on December 25.
