Christmas

Christmas is Pagan

Christmas is a pagan holiday. While the birth of Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, was a miracle, the actual date of His birth is not actually recorded. Based on the context of the scriptures, we can be absolutely certain that it was not on December 25 or even in the winter. Yeshua (Jesus) is the Lion of Judah and a descendant of King David. He was born, lived, and died a Jew. If His birth had been recorded it at all, it would have been on the Hebrew calendar, not the Julian or Gregorian.

The celebration of the birth of Christ in winter is a pagan holiday that has been merged into the faith once delivered to the saints. There was a sun-god that myths subscribe December 25th as his birth. This god’s name is Mithra. The practice of Mithraism contains some incredible parallels with mainstream Christianity beyond Christmas being a pagan holiday. Mithra was a sun-god, so he was worshiped on Sunday, not Sabbath. He is also often times depicted with a nimbus or halo around his head. Another celebration in winter from the pagan gods is called the Saturnalia, which is directly where the “12 days of Christmas” comes from, yule logs, mistletoe, and various other traditions we ascribe to Christmas.

Reverend Pat Robertson unexpectedly told the world the truth about Christmas and its traditions in the video below. The ending of the video shows our frustration, as he knows the truth but continues to do what he knows is wrong.

Reformers largely stopped the practice of Christmas because they saw that it has no place in a Christian home. A brief history of this is available at http://www.americanpresbyterianchurch.org/?page_id=795. This is a link to a modern Church that remains Protestant, a term that has largely fallen out of favor. The earliest historical record of anyone celebrating Christmas, December 25th, as the birth of Christ is 336 AD. This is 300 years after the Gospel went out to the nations and the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Celebrating Christmas is simply in conflict with the worship of the true God. Israel was destroyed because they bowed down to false gods over and over. Observing a pagan festival in the name of God is an abomination to Him. Remember what happened to Aaron’s sons when they sacrificed strange fire to God. Remember what happened to the Hebrews when they made the golden calf and declared a festival that God did not authorize. Remember what happened at 1 Kings 12:25-33 when a false Sabbath was instituted specifically to compete with the true appointed times of God. Christmas is a festival that Satan has put in to replace the festivals of God.

  1. The origin of the word christmas=( Christ Mass ). Mass speaks for itself.
    The origin of the word hoiday=( Holy Day ). The Holy book does not teach a Holy Day to celebrate Christs birth. But His death was and is observed because the Holy Scriptures teach it ( Passover ). No mention that the first century church had a day of celebration for our Saviors birth. ( Easter is only found once inKJV but all other versions have corrected it to Passover)
    The origin of the name Santa Claus= ( Saint Nicholas ) more emphasis on him than on “baby Jesus”. And by the way, if the celebration is to honor Christ why not give Him a gift, after all isn’t it his birthday? Maybe like give the money you would spend on gifts to a ministry that helps those in need. Also, the best gift parents can give their children is a stable, loving home environment where love for the truth of His Word is taught, not fairy tales about reindeer on rooftops.
    Tell them the truth; Saint Nicolas lived and died, we don’t know the date of Christs birthday. And if we did there is no example or authority from the Word to allow for a celebration.
    Let us be lovers of the truth not participants of the traditions of man.

  2. Thank you for writing this article, and I agree with it all…..the true founder of “Christ Mass” was and is the Devil.
    I give my Lord all the Glory for separating me from this unholy celebration…….each year He faithfully and rightfully assisted me in separating my emotion’s, memories from this dark time of the year. He has set me free, and every year I pray the Lord protect me from all of the pitfalls of this ungodly celebration.
