Jeremiah
10:2-4 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be
not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at
them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the
ax. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.
This one will most certainly draw a lot of fire from fellow
believers. However, the truth must be told!!! First, I must say
that, NO, I am not a Jehovah's Witness. If you want to attach a
denomination to me it would be Baptist. However, I am just a child
of the King, Jesus Christ.
The Christmas celebration as we know it today, is clearly pagan in
origin, that is it has Satan's prints all over it. When researching
it anyone can see it is clearly not a Christian holiday. What
bothers me is so many preachers know what it is and still do nothing
about it. They stand in the pulpit year after year and do not tell
the "flock", that it is one of the pagans most sacred
days. Why is this? Do these men of God not know about it? The reason
is the "flock" would not accept it and would run the
preacher off!! They will let the "flock" drown in sin at
risk of loosing their pay check and position. It boils down to no
GUTS!! I get mail daily from pagans and once in awhile they
will slip in the fact that the church celebrates their holiday, and
they are correct!!! Its time for Gods people to get some backbone
and stop the non-sense. We best do something or God will.
Some will argue that as long as one knows that its is Jesus that we
celebrate, it is ok. How wrong that thinking is. We see in the old
testament time and time again, that when Gods people incorporated
paganism in worship, God brought judgment to the nation. It is no
different today. The Roman Catholic church in is desire to convert
the heathen, mingled the ways of the pagan's (witchcraft), into the
church. Easter is another one that has paganism mingled with Jesus.
Below are links to sites with well researched info. I am not the
author of these pages, but agree that Christmas as it is, should not
be in the church or a born again Christians life.
Here
is a ruling by a judge. He says there is more secular purpose to
Christmas then religious. What a shame.. Christian
